Dragoncrest Cliffs Icarus climbs higher

wanna fade this one here since we've got a current one on the go? This should count toward both their trades :)

"Chériiiiiiiiii," She groaned, using a term of endearment stolen from their mother. She grinned. "You an I bot' know not'ing be cuter den an otter baby, but you be second cutest by far." She hoped it was a good compromise. It was possibly an odd coincidence, but her brother did have otter-coloured fur, though their markings were reversed. Where an otter was pale, Etienne was dark- but the hue of his soft browns and beiges matched those of an otter. 

She helped herself to another mussel once she'd finished the first, and then another after that. Three mussels for her, and three for Etienne- a good reward for their teamwork. At her feet she left nothing more than shards of broken shell, which she scooted back into the tide pool with her foot. What she wouldn't eat, perhaps another sea creature might. "Dey be makin' me t'irsty. Wan' go up to de lake an' get a drink?" She suggested, but she began to bound away before he could answer. "Last one to de tunnel be a smelly sea cucumber!"
