Sun Mote Copse She paints me blue again

Avery’s heart gave an unexpected flutter as she watched her sister consider what date to challenge her with. She briefly worried that it would be something too difficult, but banished the thought quickly. Her gaze shifted when she noticed Crow in her peripheral vision, and simultaneously Sugar noticed him and looped him into their game.

Th-that’s easy! she laughed, and took a few bounding leaps though the water toward the bank. She splashed haphazardly up onto dry land and hurled herself toward her brother, promptly planting a damp kiss on his cheek while wrapping her wet, muddy forelegs around him. Predictably, he tried to squirm away, and Avery held tight for a moment before letting him go.

She giggled and turned back to Sugar, even as Crow shouted about her gross-ness in the background.
