Pulling me back

With them being yearlings, their mother didn't really call them all together very often anymore. They were in charge of their own time, except for training and some meals, though the meals were more of an invitation than a requirement, so it was unusual to hear Cascade calling for all three of them at once otherwise. Still, Evangeline had not outgrown her competitive nature and though it was Cascade calling rather than Valentine she still rushed with the intention of beating both of her brother's there. It was the principal of the whole thing. If she was first, she was clearly the best, and she would rub that into her grubby older brothers' faces every time she won the impromptu contest. But... No! Angelus had beaten her there! Vana was outraged. But of course she couldn't look outraged because then that would give Angel the satisfaction of knowing he'd gotten her mad. So instead she skidded to a halt, drew herself up to every inch of her height, put her still-lanky body in as regal a stance as she could manage, and lifted her sharply imperious muzzle in a haughty gesture as she drifted along the rest of the distance between her and her mother and brother as though she hadn't been hurrying at all, as though she didn't even notice Angelus. "Hello, mother," she said in as stately a manner as she could manage, then 'realized' Angelus was there, as if she wouldn't have been able to see his galumphing form a mile away, and greeted him in an icy, disapproving tone. How dare he beat her there. "Angelus." |
