This trail that we blaze!

Voltage counted the seconds, held himself close to his brother's warmth. There was only so much time left, and then he'd be gone for weeks. Weeks, more time than he had ever spent away from his siblings, away from Glacier. With a sniffle he'd nod at his brother's promises and his threat, trying to keep strong amongst the tidal wave of his emotions. Voltage would come back, he was resiliant, he was tactful, he knew where to put his paws....sometimes, with reminding. And Gaia would be with him, with Freewing there aswell. The ever watchful eyes of the bird managed to keep his little cloud from bopping into trees, surely he could keep Voltage from walking off a cliff. So with a gentle sigh with he'd pull away, lifting his eyes slowly to gaze up at Glacier. "I promise, Glace, I'll make sure we all come home in one piece." His voice was strained just slightly but it held that strength he was known for, that odd optimism despite his fear. This wasn't just about him, there could be siblings out there that they needed to rescue. That's what this was about.

He blinked when he heard his the gentle voices of his quiet sisters, and he'd quickly turn his head. With a smile he'd pull fully from Glacier's warmth, inclining his head just slightly. "Come give your big brother a hug." He said with a grin, stepping forward to welcome them into his warmth. He wished others had shown up, and it was getting too late to really wait...they would have to leave soon. First he'd pull Gale into his embrace, nuzzling into her warmth (if she'd allow it of course). "I send you my love on the wind every time I feel the breeze." He said softly. "Make sure Glacier doesn't become too overwhelmed. With Serefina out of commission someone has to make sure the big fluff ball doesn't overheat." He said with a grin, planting a kiss upon his little sister's cheek before he'd turn to Selini and repeat the process, pulling her into his soft fur and nuzzling close. "Don't sleep every day away, and see to it that someone is there to watch the stars with your sister, alright?" He said with a gentle smile, placing a kiss upon her cheek as well. "I'll watch the moon every night, Seli, so don't ever feel alone..." He whispered softly before he'd pull away and step towards Gaia, pushing his nose into the fur that lined her neck. "I guess...everyone is too busy.." He said softly, the hurt resonating in his voice as he turned to his siblings. "Tell them, when I return I'm gonna barbeque their butts for not saying goodbye." He'd say with his big toothy grin, looking at his two sisters before his big brother. Brows would furrow before he nodded, turning his attention back to Gaia. "Now's a good time as any, huh? Freewing? Wanna show us the way to the mountain?" He said with a smile, he knew how to get there in his sleep from there.
