We Met One Stormy Night

Voltage stretched out along the wall of the cave, his paws reaching out infront of him as he chuckled to himself. She seemed to brush off his fear, accepting it easy and letting him know it was okay to be afraid. What she didn't understand, however, was that it wasn't right for him to be scared. Lightning was his element, wasn't it? It's what he knew, and he was terrified of the thing that was gifted to him, or rather the thing that accompanied it. Serefina wasn't scared of embers, Glacier wasn't terrified of hail. It was almost like he wasn't suited for the element he was given, the black sheep, the misnamed one. His family had assured him, each in turn, that what he felt was okay, and they loved him reguardless of if he was the Lightning in the sky, or the energy of the earth. They wouldn't care if his name was Mud. So he would smile, nodding to her, not wanting to explain all these emotions to her. "I guess so." he whispered.

When she introduced himself he blinked before he chuckled, shaking his head. "I am terribly sorry, but I greatly doubt I would be able to repeat that." He said with a laugh, grinning up at her. "Akemi, however, is a gorgeous name. Does it have meaning?" He asked then, motioning for her to settle in the den. He hoped she wouldn't mind if he stuck around for a little while to chat, he enjoyed his new friend. But if she were tired, he would leave and go hide in his storm-proofed den, knowing Serefina was probably waiting for him since the first clap of thunder. Oh, he loved his sister so.
