The girl had decided to come out of the den today, though not too far from the ship still uneasy about what could be out there. She had grown so much stronger in that sense, she used to be afraid of being alone in the den. If she had to know, she could just leave the ship and be off, only if some freak accident happened and there was like a pool of lava coming their way or something. But for now, she would go sit beside the ship on the shore where she sat a couple nights ago with Lian. But after a moment or two of sitting beside a couple large rocks, she decided to hop up onto of one and try her best to scrape off some of the Ice and snow that still clung from the blizzards. And when she felt it was at least good enough, being the lazy girl that she is, she sprawled herself out on it and tried to soak what sun they had up here in the north. Sometimes it was hard to keep warm up here, especially without Lian. But the girl had been born in the snows, it was the only thing she was adapted to. Same goes for her siblings though... Didn't make her any stronger than them. Speaking of which, hopefully neither one of the little brats followed her out here... or even decided to go outside. She didn't know if Lian was inside, but she highly doubted it. If he was, she hoped he would entertain them. She didn't feel like seeing either one today. Walk "Talk" Think

As soon as the boy had risen, he was off and moving. It had taken some careful maneuvering to get away from his sister Armai, clingy, whiny little brat that she could be, but as always he had managed. The elder two had been avoided on his way out, his parents had not been seen, and the cold winter day had been all too welcoming compared to the stuffy confinement of the family's home and shelter. Calder's dark legs were eating up snow the moment he was outside and under the morning sun.

He did not go far - he rarely ever did - but stayed close to the ship that housed the Leone family, patrolling around when he could find nothing of interest to keep him occupied otherwise. But it was the scent of his sister that seemed to draw his attention most at one point, one fact about it more poignant within his mind than the others. It was alone. Always Zola was with her brother Lian, and to Calder's recollection one was never too far away from the other. It was odd for him to find her scent alone, and with curiosity on his mind he trailed it.

Eager wandering steps brought him within sight of the rocky shoreline where Zola was lying, her dark upper half setting her apart from the snowy rocks. Just a little the dark colored boy was anxious, his silvery eyes scanning about to see if Lian might appear somewhere to come to his sister's side, but at the same time he was already planning. Zola was alone. What could he do to the wretched older sister during this time? His mind was far from made up, but Calder was already grinning, his tail waving with slow delight as he marched toward her and called ahead, "What'cha doing, Zooola?" imitating his sister's annoyingly chipper, singsong voice. She might have been a pain in her own right, but Armai certainly knew the right way to get under someone's skin and he wanted to use her tactic for himself.

The girl wasn't used to seeing her younger brother but in the den. Unlike Armai, he kept his distance not because he knew how Zola felt about him, but because he actually wanted to. Zola didn't know that he could've felt the same way she did or Lian did, she was so used to Armai following her every footstep and just wanting to turn around and snap her neck. To his abnormal singing tones came to the air, Zola couldn't tell he was trying to mimic his litter mate, but she could tell he was trying to annoy her. Her ears pulled back to his voice, but only a moment later she dropped her head to put her paws over her nose in an effort to keep anything but anger from coming out. "What do you want?" She spoke with a rather sad voice. At this point she just wanted to fall into Lian and cry, but he wasn't here. Her tone almost whined as she spoke through her paws but she just wanted to get this over with. She wanted the boy to get out whatever the heck he wanted so that she could have her few moments of life without them. Walk "Talk" Think
