Thank you for starting! ❤
Unlike the cheer of his sister, the raven boy remains unenthusiastic about the warmer weather. It is strange, a change he is not prepared for. The growing of flowers and common rain during Spring left him sneezing often, allergies already forming at such a young age. His eyes even felt puffy and dry. Something in the air certainly did not agree with him.
Alas, night remains his favorite and that is something he
could cheer about alongside Polaris. When he finds her missing by dusk, the boy takes it upon himself to seek her out. He follows her scent, having practiced numerous times with following
@Rosalie from the den to the creek and back. He's starting to get used to Swiftcurrent's territory to the point he no longer fears it. Their home does not stop at their dens, but instead, is the entirety of the area. Helios is determined to keep it theirs.
He wanders until he reaches near the center of the Creek. Bouncing ahead is a flicker of red, orange and softer pastels. He recognizes the spots immediately.
Polaris,
he calls out, approaching his sister ever tied to the nature around her. He greets her with a touch to her cheek, just as Maman always does.
so lost in the scenery about her, polaris would remain completely unaware of her brother's presence until he called out her name; causing her to jump lightly. however rather than resorting to annoyance- the silvery girl's eyes gleam with mirth as she turns happily to see her brother picking his way over. she nuzzles into his touch briefly before pulling back, always overjoyed to be in the company of a sibling. she had come to learn in a very short time that they were stronger together, that family really meant everything. little tail swishing behind her, the girl would grin happily; greeting him now with a chirped "heya"
she'd motion for him to stay quiet for a moment, ears leaning forward as she listened attentively- the crickets were increasing in volume and she relished in their song. not quite as melodic as the birds but enjoyable to have as a replacement whilst the feathered animals began to seek shelter for sleep and their own noise grew more sparing. "hear it?" she'd ask her brother softly, head tilting in a quick little bird like movement as bright eyes rest on his dark form. "crickets" she's proud to inform, having been told it during one of her many relentless questioning sprees. just then the grass would sway in front of them and a little laugh of delight would hop from her as one of the bugs jumped out right in front of helios before hopping off again before polaris could even consider making an attempt to catch it. she watches it with wonder for as long as she can before her vision goes blurry and she looses track of it, giving her head a little shake.
she focuses on helios once more, they were quite polar opposites when it came to both looks and traits but she felt such a deep fondness for her older brother nevertheless. they all tended to tire quickly but she noticed he seemed to a lot more susceptible to it and felt a deep protectiveness towards him due to it. so although she refrained from mentioning it lest he think she found him weak, which she didn't, she'd find herself checking to see how he was doing frequently anyway.
