Just as Cressida obliges him with staying awake during the day sometimes, Helion returns the favour occasionally by napping in the daylight and waking when the sun goes down - when it is her turn to shine. Literally. He can’t remember if they had spoken about this trade of hours or if it is just something that they do instinctually.
There is (little to) no grumbling from the pale gold colt as he wakes today while the sun is setting - opening his eyes to find that, once again, the plants in his immediate vicinity have tilted towards him - drawn in by the sunlight he emits. With a bright laugh, he bites the leaves off of one that tickled his nose when he began to stir and then scrambles up - already searching for Cressida. He hopes she isn’t far, hopes she hasn’t already moved off to find her own adventures without him - or he'd have slept away the day for nothing!
His horns have grown into C-shapes, curving from behind his ears, and like his eyes - they match his twin, who does not end up being difficult to find, in a nearby clearing where the colourful sky can still be seen as the sun continues to fade. His glow is gentle and golden, and though it fades a little with the waning day his smile brightens upon seeing his sister.
As he approaches, Helion performs an exaggerated yawn - which turns genuine about halfway through - before nudging her in greeting. “What do you wanna do tonight?” And then, he suddenly remembers something a fish had asked him and he cannot believe he’s forgotten to ask her or their parents yet. “OH and do you know if we hatched?"
