He could hear the voices as the mist swirled before him – the intricate designs in the swirl of air fascinated him, and while he was focused on the conversation, he found himself losing interest in the entire situation – after all, Hypatia had seemed to find his siblings.
His weight shifted, and when he heard the voice of his older sister drift even closer, his face lit up in a small grin as he caught view of the rich golden hues of her pelt. Bouncing forward from the den entrance, and possibly almost colliding with Evy, his bright puppy eyes gleamed as they cast upward to Hypatia’s features, his nose bumping forward to her shoulder.
Y’foun’ her,he practically squawked, his paws dancing upon the cool and damp ground as his eyes traced back to his sisters. His tail waved through the air to reveal his contentment with the situation, and without waiting for an answer, the boy bounded back to the den entrance. As fascinating as the mist was, he wasn’t about to get lost in it like his littermates.His muzzle tilted back over his shoulder to see if he could see them, but once more, the thickness of the fog curled in, sweeping between them and eluding them from his vision. Uttering a bark to announce his presence in the den, the ivory boy swept himself inside, curling up at the back of home and tucking his nose firmly beneath the tip of his tail. His bright eyes stared at the entrance, waiting for his sisters to come forward.. but it would seem the land of sleep would claim him instead – he was, after all, still very much a baby.
Her sister's touch was warm on her crown, and a much needed comfort for the young girl. Before this encounter, she hadn't really appreciated the eldest sibling enough. She was so different from Evy, and Takis. Her size, her color, the way she spoke. It was all so strange, but somehow they were sisters, and Celandine was eternally grateful for the fact.
As they moved forward, closing in on Evy's voice, the youngest Argyris chanced a peak into the mist. It was still thick, swirling around them as if they had been transported into a dream. Celandine wondered whether it would go away, or they would be stuck forever in this strange cloudy place. How would mother or father be able to find them? Was it easier for adults to navigate?
Evy's dark form came though the wall, like the shadow she was. For once the young princess was so happy to see her sister, that she bounced forward chancing a nudge to the cheek.
Then it was Takis they needed to find, his pelt almost as invisible in all of this as her own. The pace was unbelievably slow, but she trusted Hypatia to know what she was doing. It seemed like forever before Takis' form came into view, and he nearly bumped into Evy. It was so comical, that she couldn't help but chuckled, before he faded into the mist once more. Terror claimed the youth, before a reassuring bark followed his disappearance. It seemed to echo, which could only mean that he found the den! "T'ank you Hyppa."
A smile lit upon her muzzle, at last all of them together. Safe and sound. A merry laugh burst from her throat, her tail beating in a swift rhythm. Takis looked like a miniature Phineas, and it was for that reason Hyp was more entertained by the antics of the boy. She always pictured her father a serious child, but Takis made her question that image.
As he ventured to the safety of dark den, Hyp nudged Evy, encouraging her to do the same. After all this excitement, Hyp wouldn't mind a rest either. All the easier with them in their bed. When the vibrant, tawny wolf looked upon her pale sister, she felt adoration in her heart, and gratitude by that sweet voice of thanks. "Of course Cel, what are big sisters for?" A light lick to her cheek, she motioned to the den. ""Get some rest, the fog will be gone by the time you wake up I bet." It was only when they were all inside, did she plant herself at the entrance, a silent guard while mother and father were out. Hyp rarely parted from them since.
