It was a mild enough evening that Malachai was doing something he hadn't ever really done before, going for a swim. The young Klein was bobbing in the water between the main shoreline of the pack lands and one of the nearer islands. Winter did mean that the water had a chill to it and it probably didn't help that the common snowstorms were chilling the water but this part of the continent was not prone to extreme weather... Well, maybe Malachai couldn't know that for sure considering the very first winter of his life had been extreme but he was pleased to find this winter was proving to be milder. The young man dragged himself onto the shore of the nearer island, shaking the water from his pelt and settling down to let some strength seep back into his wet and chilled limbs.

Panic has been working on her stamina and speed the whole morning. And now that she was tired and hoping for a rest and potential swim, she moved herself to the shore between the mainland and the islands that were also property of Ashen. Fear her snake wasn't that okay with that so she stood high atop thé yearling's head to avoid getting wet. Panic swam without rush as she felt the water refreshing her hot body. And like that she moved to the next island seeing a dark figure at the distance,at this point she could easily recognize the wolf sitting there. Her brother. She walked out of the sea and sat by his side. But said nothing for now. "Panic" | "Malachai" | "Belladona" | "Lurch"

Malachai couldn't really decide what he felt about his sister's new behaviour. Though they were not attached at the hip it had been hard to ignore his new shadow. Hela had left and it seemed in her absence Panic had chosen to follow him around. It was annoying, and somehow endearing. The young man had a strange sort of fondness for his family, he didn't show affection or express it often but he couldn't help but feel a tiny bit closer to his sister. But he wasn't about to admit that, rolling his eyes as his sister pulled herself up beside him not saying anything. "What?" He asked, a little rude maybe but he bumped her slightly with his shoulder as she came to rest. "Panic" | "Malachai" | "Belladona" | "Lurch"

She sighed as her blue gaze stared at the vacuum, at the nothing. A lot bothered her mind, kept her thoughts locked into bullshits. She was done with all of that, and she wanted to focus on getting stronger, in climbing the ranks, just like her mother did before them. And as she settled beside her brother, she felt his little gesture to which she returned. Nudging his shoulder affectionally. "Nothing, just wanted to share time with you." She didnt ask, she never did, she was straight forward and even if he had said no she would still do it. She rested her head on his shoulder, taking advantage of his taller height.
