Cassiopeia's View Dropped us on the wrong damn mountain

If Cass paid any attention to all of Kicholai's sudden bursts of anger she would probably live with fear her whole life. So she didn't. Nick's growls didn't meant shit to Cass other than a cute display of affection towards her. He would always be a grumpy ass brother, but he was always such a sweetheart to his sister regardless that there was no room for anything but love.

When her brother joined her at the top, Cassie's smile wouldn't go away. He told her that this place would be their future. No more shit from mom, no more pain; just them. And there wasn't a thing that could make her happier then. Just us, Cass repeated heartily, looking at Nick with a glimmer in her eye. There was a lot of hope in this journey, a lot of expectations; and so far, the place was living up to all of them. Everything was just too beautiful from up there.

Cassie's ears folded back when Nick asked if she was well enough to keep going. I'm ok... I just need to rest for a moment. she assured with a smile as she sat down. What's the hurry anyway? she joked nudging Nicholai with her shoulder, This view is too pretty not to stop and just... Watch... she said, and then let out a calm sight as she lowered her head to pose it on her crossed forepaws to gaze at the coast with a wide smile across her face.
