Northstar Vale bottomless vales and boundless floods

Cypress' approach was the motivation that Rannoch needed to fight off his self-deprecating thoughts. Giving them a final, definitive shove as he turned to meet the merrily bright eyes of his sibling, Rannoch expression lifted. A kiss was returned to attend his brother's show of affection and subordination, pulling away quickly to get a better look at the Gamma. 

Rannoch was met with a question he hadn't been anticipating, and it showed with a brief widening of his eyes. In his mild panic, Rannoch still pushed to acknowledge his sibling's greeting, as their mother did not raise rude children. "Cy, hey," he replied breathily, attempting to wrangle his emotions. Even with the simplicity, this was enough to help calm his nerves. "Yeah, I'm all right," he said, rebounding smoothly and a wide-set grin. "Are you doing okay?" Attempting to get the subject off of him, and genuinely finding himself interested in his brother's wellbeing as it had been long since their paths had crossed.
