Here comes the sunshine

I think I've lost control
Slowly, very slowly, the golden hued male was getting settled into his new home. Change wasn't something he took lightly, but his older siblings had certainly done everything they could to make it easier on him and his litter mates. The sun was shining bright on the side of the volcano, and as he looked out across the clear blue horizon he reminded himself that not everything had changed. The sun still rose and set, the moon still lit up the night, the clouds still drifted by over head. He still had Selini and Arcus and he had so many siblings around him to make him feel at home. It was just hard to remember sometimes that just because one thing in his life made a major shift it didn't mean that everything was now out of his control.
He laid down on a flat-topped piece of rock that was maybe a foot or so tall, resting in the sunlight with his head laying on his paws. He hummed contently as she sun warmed his form and lit up his pale gold fur. His twin blended into the night, but during the day was really when he was his most comfortable. The sun brought light and warmth. What wasn't to love about that?

Voltage was on a mission, he decided. It was his job to ensure his siblings had made their temporary home comfortable and he hadn't done such a good job. It was his quiet siblings, the ones that didn't show up in his face all the time (like a certain fire maiden he held quite dear) that he often lost track of. Selini and Astrea he had caught up with and tried to make sure they had settled, but his young sun brother seemed to be a little elusive for Lightbutt. He wandered through the volcano when the sun was at its height, knowing that this was around the time that Solaris would be out and enjoying the element he was so aptly named for. So he wandered with a calm gait (something that was very rare for Voltage), searching for his young brother. He wanted to catch up and maybe bond with the sibling he had been taken away from before Solaris had even been weaned. It wasn't something that he had enjoyed, and infact it had done more damage to him than even his parents rejection. Perhaps he had finally come to terms with it...in some small way, that his parents were just big furry bunny rabbits and wanted to produce a litter to send them out in the world. But he couldn't get too mad, Voltage adored each and every one of his siblings, and he wouldn't trade them for the world. What he would trade, though, was the time lost. He had missed many milestones of his young siblings life, and they were practically strangers when they went to bring them home. He hoped to change that, now. Blinking through the sunlight he finally spotted his brother perched atop a flat stone, and he couldn't help but laugh, remembering how he had found Selini in a rather similar position. With a shake of his head he trotted towards him, tail swishing behind him gently. "At least one of you seem to understand that your namesake has to be in the sky to see it." He said with a laugh, a tease. Selini had been waiting for the moon, and Astrea had been "hearing" the stars in the daytime, but reguardless, Solaris had won points for sunbathing in the sun.

I think I've lost control
His dark tipped ears perked when a voice reached them, his vivid orange gaze blinking open and head lifting from his paws to turn toward it. Voltage. A smirk touched his muzzle at his older sibling's teasing comment. "To see it, yes, it needs to be in the sky. But I know that even when it's not visible it's still there. The sun never goes away, neither does the moon or stars. So as silly as my litter mates may seem, I know where they're coming from." He chuckled softly and pulled himself up onto his paws and he hopped down from his perch so that he was standing in front of his bright yellow and black brother before settling onto his haunches again.
He hadn't really gotten to speak with any of his older siblings since their arrival here so he was happy that Volt had found him now although he wasn't entirely sure what he should talk about. Small talk wasn't exactly his strong suit and he had really been too caught up in his attempts at adjusting to his new home to keep any sort of track of the other sibling's lives. "How have you been?" he finally asked lamely, figuring it was a better starting point than nothing.

Voltage grinned down at his sun clad brother, a cheeky look twisting along his features. "I doubt celestial bodies take beach vacations, brother." He said with a laugh. They were always there. Voltage tilted his head towards the sky then, squinting through the bright light as he watched the clouds roll on. It was like himself. While lightning storms hardly happened (and Voltage was always too scared of the Thunder to pay much attention to the streaking lights) he always felt the energy of the earth. Perhaps that's why he was always so full of it. He seemed to channel his element. Much like his starry sister and the twins. So he turned his head back to his brother, grinning. But Solaris seemed almost awkward with their reunion. Voltage couldn't blame him, though. Not many could handle Voltage, and Solaris hadn't spent a great deal around him either. He hadn't even had to experience Lightbutt as his highest energy yet. Oh, he couldn't wait for that. When the sun child spoke Voltage couldn't help but smirk. "I'm doing fairly well, sunny. How are you? Have you been settling in?" He asked with a grin. They were set to move soon, but that didn't mean they couldn't all be comfortable in their cramped quaters in the meantime. He hummed lightly then, tilting his head back up to the sky. "Hey, Solaris, can I ask your opinion on something?" He said with a gentle smile, turning back to his brother. Perhaps he wanted to tap his mind, it was in the deepest of thoughts that he really got to know his siblings. Voltage was high energy physically but his mind moved quickly outside of that as well. They could possibly bond over intellect, he thought, maybe more so than teasing jabs and philosophy his other siblings seemed keen too. "Burn Baby Burn" |

Solaris chuckled and rolled his eyes at his brother's joke about celestial bodies taking beach vacations, the ridiculous notion making him picture a moon and sun lounging on the beach, the mental picture making him grin. To top it off Volty called him "sunny" and he wasn't quite sure how to take the nickname. Part of him was amused by it, another part was appalled. He wouldn't comment on it though, deciding that sunny was probably one of the better nicknames his energetic brother could have used. "I have been. Slowly. But I'm good now I think," he replied with a small shrug. Voltage moved on quickly, asking if he could ask his opinion. Solaris blinked and replied, "Of course. What is it?" He couldn't imagine what his older brother would want to ask of him of all wolves, but he would happily answer any questions Voltage had for him.

Voltage's grin grew larger as Solaris confirmed that he had settled in nicely, but there was a nagging voice at the back of his mind that they would all soon have to uproot again. Luckily, this time, it was permanent...he hoped. He hoped they had judged the place correctly and found somewhere where all his family could live and grow and prosper. They all needed one important thing, whether it was the water, heat, or the moon, and some where very conflicting, but he hoped they had found a place that would merit another move and it wouldn’t upset his younger siblings too much. With a gentle smile he shifted so he was more beside his brother rather than infront of him, moving to lean a shoulder against him for a couple moments before leaning away again. When Solaris said he could ask him, Voltage nodded. "Tell me, little brother, do you think its odd we all seem to have this vast connection with the earth? Did that come first, or our names? Do we feel our connection due to the element “assigned” to us, or were we named for the connection we felt?" He asked deeply. It had been something nagging at him, and for some reason he had chosen his sun loving brother to ask rather than Glacier or Serefina, whom he’d normally take his deeper thoughts too. But he wanted to know what his younger siblings thought of their lives, and perhaps he’d gain a new close confidant in the meantime. "Burn Baby Burn" |
