Silver Creek and I call with all my heart

He’d hoped little Rhett would retaliate, Vander knew he had it in him to. He just needed a little egging on. After all, he’d seen glimpses and traces in his brother before, and he thought he’d seen a glint of it now in the Flamesinger’s eyes. But the fire fizzled out, and Everett still ran calm and collected as a rain shower in spring.

Pfft, Evander jostled his brother with his shoulder, you’ve always got such a stick up your ass. But his teasing voice held affection, even between the crassness of the phrase.

Still, Evander did as his brother instructed and bounded to the nearest evergreen, stooping low once he reached it to pull back the lowest branches and check out the space beneath. Yeesh! he recoiled, and swung to find another, a couple foxes couldn’t even fit under that one! He stopped near another, and bent down again. I don’t know why we had to come North, of all places. You really don’t think he turned around at that River we lost his trail?
