ooc//in my time it's not winter yet ._. so technically its like the end of fall lol

Morning. The sun streamed into the den, straight onto her face. She would roll over, trying to get away from the annoying light. But it was too late...with a yawn, the girl would rise sleepily to her paws, stepping away from the others in a careful manner so as not to wake them. She stepped quietly out into the light, the sand shifting under her large paws that she was barely growing in to. It felt strange being bigger then her other siblings, but it couldn't be helped. She felt clumsy, to say the least. Her paws always tripping her over when she ran, but sometimes she could manage. She went over towards the waters edge, sitting just barely a few inches away from the tide that would come and go, tail wrapped around her paws. She had begun to hear things about their old pack lands...how dangerous it was now to set foot there. It was no longer under the rule of the ones who took it from them, instead, it was now under the rule of much darker forces. What was happening to their lands? She wanted to know... "Speech."

Two-toned blue gaze would alight on his sister when she emerged from her den, and Galileo would stir from his silent vigil for the first time all night, a slight twitch of his ear the only movement that he made for the time being. For a long moment, he would remain still, tracking Avalon's form as she padded towards the cool autumn waters. Only when she settled down by the water, all awkward limbs, did Galileo rise to his paws, a gusty breath escaping his lungs as he began his approach. "Avalon," Galileo would raise his voice so that it would reach her ears. He drew even with her easily, and settled back on his haunches without another word, letting his rump come to rest against the sand before he turned his gaze on her. "How have you been?" It had been a while since they had talked like this; since before Orica left, if he recalled correctly. He missed Orica; it was like her absence left an aching hole in his chest, and nothing could fill it. Of course, his siblings, younger and older helped. He would protect them all from the evils of the world. At the thought, Galileo pinned his ears back for a moment, and it took him a long moment to relax again. He forced the tension from his muscles, and the male stretched slowly, trying to seem unconcerned as he gazed at his sister, searching for any injuries on her form. Thought Speech Others

Her ears would twitch slightly, the slightest indication of sound approaching. She would turn her head, amber gaze falling on her brother and she would give a half hearted smile. Her tail tip twitched nervously, indeed it had been a while since she and her brother had talked. She couldn't remember the last time they had sat down to chat or even play. Her throat felt like it wanted to constrict, but she forced it down as best as she could. Even though she would be the biggest of the lot, she was fairly emotional even when she tried to deny that fact. She turned to look at him, his pelt looked much like hers and a mix of their fathers...their father...where had he disappeared to lately? She sighed, her form tensing slightly. But it wasn't because that her brother was here...it was more so because of the thoughts that were forming in her mind as of late. Looking down at the floor in front of her paws for a moment, she glanced at her brother and her words would come out as no more then a whisper. "Gali...I miss daddy...I haven't seen him around at all. In fact, I've hardly seen him since...since our home was stolen from us...now there's someone new in charge, and I hear he's awful! Do you think daddy has just gone off to try and win our home back...?" Avalon's brows creased the more she spoke, her voice threatening to break and crack. More thoughts plagued her mind, and she wanted the comfort of her family now more then ever. For some time now, her Glaciem family had become the Snow Rogues...living in soulsand cove, though it wasn't a real place to call home. Her ears fell back as she looked at her paws, eyes showing more sadness then ever. "What's gonna happen to us?" she whispered to her brother. "Speech"
