The vixen shifted in the shadows, doing her best to remain quiet. Her body was pressed against the wall of the cave, from her vantage point she could only just see Glacier’s tail and nothing else. It took all her self-control to not simply bounce out into the open and tackle her brother right now, instead she focused on calming her breathing. She had rubbed up against the wall a bit beforehand to try and mask her scent with the mildew stench of the cave… not her brightest idea she was wet and cold now and she was certain she would freeze to death if forced to wait too much longer.
It would be quiet with Voltage gone, of that much she’d be sure. The fire princess was more or less hibernating with the onset of the cold and she spent much of her own time napping till sunset. Things wouldn’t feel natural again till his return and though she was eager to see him coming back she was also afraid… That’s why the party now she assumed, because good or bad right now at least they all knew their place in the world.
So she would wait, for the signal, for the moment when she and her concealed siblings would jump out to wish their brother a good journey.
