Float On

Anais moved at a trot as she wound through the woods and up toward the peak of the Fjord where her sister had called her from and felt some apprehension. It was not so much the fact she was returning to the location of her parents' graves - she visited them sometimes on her own too, just to be close to their memories - but she felt guilty in regard to her siblings. Taking on the care of Lebrah had given her someone to devote much of her time and energy to, and with Espirit still very young and so impressionable, so in need of that love and stability that her parents had not been able to instill in him the way they had done for their older children Anais wanted to be there for him too. Which, unfortunately, left less time for just being with her brothers and sister.

But she was not so riddled by guilt to avoid it altogether. She was grateful Lior had thought to call for her, and even more grateful that it had been timed well enough that she could answer. By the time she reached the peak and the mimosa tree, she had all but forgotten her guilt and only felt a quiet warmth at seeing her sister. Anais smiled, her yellow-gold gaze gentle, and padded with her tail wagging to join the smaller girl beside their parents. Nothing was said as she stepped in close, brushing her shoulder against Lior's as she nuzzled her neck and cheek, placing a soft lick over the top of her head before she turned her gaze toward the graves and the flowers set between them. "Those are lovely," she commented softly, "I'm sure Mom's smiling over them right now."
