Hushed Willows did i make money, was i proud?

The borders of the pack had, at first, seemed like a clear sign to stay away. He'd recognized them as being similar to the borders of his own home, and had remembered his parents' warnings well enough. Borders are not to be crossed. Except... he can smell food somewhere across those borders, and he's hungry — and he knows @Helios is too, whether he admits it or not. So here they are.
No one will notice, He whispers to his brother as they creep across the borders under the cloak of night. He glances around nervously, not really believing his own words but needing to say it to reassure himself, if nothing else. We'll be fast. A small shiver runs through him, and he swallows, pressing to Helios's side and lowering his nose. If they can just figure out where the nearest cache is, they can be in and out in a few minutes — hopefully.

Time after time, Helios fails in hunting. A task more difficult than the young raven ever expected it to be. Alas, it puts enough pressure upon the duo that they resort to… other means. He is careful, slow and alert with his approach. They both are. Helios stays glued to Zephyr’s side, a mute nod in agreement all he offers to the reassurance.

No one will catch them. Everything will be fine. If they notice something missing, they’ll blame it on a member eating more than they ought to.

Helios replays this in his mind over and over, as they slink further into the territory. Noses close to the ground, and Helios guiding them through the shaded parts. He stands out less so than his younger sibling, and thus he tries to make sure he is always along the outer parts in an attempt to camouflage Zephyr.

She had ventured off away from her dad once more. Though this time she seemed inclined to stay within the borders of elysium until she smelt two scents that seemed rather out of place and decided to investigate. 

When she approached, Minnow noticed to others who seemed familiar those from her trip to visit auntie dawn. “Hey!” She said with a wag of her tail. Then it dawned on her. What were they doing here. “What are you guys doing?”

After a time, he catches a stronger scent on the breeze — the one he's looking for. He nudges Helios gently, turning in the direction of the food scent at a slightly faster pace than before. Almost there, he thinks, relief beginning to wash over him — until a voice stops him in his tracks. He freezes, blood running cold for a moment as he glances first toward Helios, then the source of the sound. But he recognizes that voice, oddly enough.
His expression sours slightly when his gaze lands on the girl, but his agitation doesn't last long. Clearly this is her home, and they're the trespassers here. Um, He glances to Helios again, searching for something to say that isn't the truth. Unfortunately, lying is among the many things Zephyr has yet to master. It only takes a couple seconds for the words to tumble from him despite his best efforts to stop them. We're hungry. A small huff escapes him, and he presses further into Helios, as if he could melt into his brother's fur and disappear forever this way.

Mouth waters at the scent upon the wind, and he almost wishes he could resist the way his stomach growls in approval. It is enough that the typically stoic Helios bites upon his cheek, appearing irritated with himself. Yet it does not seem to attract attention, instead, they are able to continue for quite a bit, until a familiar face stops them both in their tracks.

Helios’ eyes roam across Minnow; pondering if perhaps he should not have stopped Zephyr when he had—such thoughts were quickly dismissed, however, at the vision that soon follows. Brushing against his silver sibling for silent comfort, he does not realize how quiet he is until it is Zephyr that answers Minnow’s pressing question.

Minnow and their position humorously swapped; they the outsiders, while she is upon her home turf.

Can we have food? We will go after we eat.

They we’re hungry, she knew the feeling. But where were their parents. She always thought they were responsible for feeding pups but at the same time she knew parents weren’t always there like her mother. “Come on I can get you guys something.” She wasn’t about to let them starve. Her dad had always told her where they live helped people. She would lead them to the cache and give them food. That’s what she’d do.

i can’t help myself LOL

he too had left his father’s watchful eye on search of solitude. it was a sort of routine of his, one sunny didn’t seem to mind. at least that’s what he thought.

onwards he went. as he walked he caught wind of something different. a foreign scent, similar to the one aure had carried. only this time the smell had cut through their home.

aeryn cautiously followed the trail, eventually running into his sister talking to a pair of strangers. minnow? he squeaked as he slipped to her side. who are they?
