I kept my hope just like i'd hoped tpthen sang to the sea for feelings deep blue
His eldest sister opens her eyes as if expecting to be somewhere else, to which Rhae rolls his. Impatience roils across his skin like boiling water, but he forces himself to wait for her to come-to, knowing that any excess noise would definitely get him sent back to bed. Still, as Will snuffles and blinks, he presses his most-used sound into her ear, a little ssssss of needy anticipation that he’s sure will get her up.
And it does. With a care he’s never before witnessed, the little bay raises herself from the floor of the grotto, barely making any noise beside some scraping of her keratin hoof against the stone below. Nostrils flaring in excited roguishness, Rhae nuzzles and bumps her cute baby face like an overwhelmed puppy all the way through the cave and to the entrance way. He only stops, like her, when they pass the little body of their youngest triplet.
“Koko!” His stage-whisper rings through the cave, and he cringes at the noise of it - but even still, it does nothing to wake their palomino counterpart. Frustrated and getting nervous of being caught, Rhae sends a last nip to his brother’s ear - and gets a swift kick to the shin for all his thoughtfulness. Sleepy bastard!
As he finally makes his way to freedom, the openness before them banishes any venomous thoughts he’d been throwing - without any heart of course - Sviko’s way. The steep downhill of the mountain path that the family meanders down every single day suddenly seems a thousand times as intimidating now, and for a moment, Rhae wonders if he had been right to want to go on adventure - but when the wild breathiness of his sister’s voice finds its way to his ears, he knows he made the right choice. With Warlight by his side, he is invincible.
“I want to go to the lake,” Rhae offered. “I want to shine my light at it and - maybe we can see the bottom, or maybe it’ll reflect like the stars.” Even now, the boy’s brown eyes twinkle like those very same astronomical objects; even though his idea is quaint and perhaps boring, it couldn’t excite him even a mote more. Hoping that his big sister would like the idea, Rhae spread his wings, and then thought better of it.
“Come on. I’ll beat you there!”
