However, Ryker’s patience for his sister was wearing thin as she kept teasing him about would he be able to see any dangers ahead of them, what if a bear came along, would that be big enough for him to see? Or would it have to be right on top of him before he noticed it?
Finally, as Lucia kept talking, something in Ryker made him snap out at his sister. His anger bubbled up and overflowed in his chest and his teeth were bared in a snarl as he turned to face Lucia. A short lifetime of being teased over something he had no control over and it making him feel inferior to his sisters finally got to him.
“Would you just shut up already and leave me alone!” Snow flew around him as he spun around, his tail and hackles rising as he drew to his full height and stared down at his smaller sister. It wasn’t his fault his eyes were still blue and his vision wasn’t the best! Why couldn't she understand that?! “I don’t care that I can’t see past my nose and I don’t need to be reminded of it constantly by someone like you, you RUNT!” Not realising what he had just said, Ryker kept going. The burning in his chest had been fired up and it felt good to shout at Lucia after trying to be the bigger wolf and ignore her jabs at his sight. Aleris did it too but she wasn’t as bad as Lucia.“So why don’t you take your small arse and go hide somewhere else, far away from me so I don’t have to hear your whiny voice anymore?! Because my sight might be bad but my ears are still good and they're aching from having to hear your voice all morning!” Pushing his nose right up to hers as he spoke, his anger had overtaken him and his mind wasn’t processing just what he was saying when he finally yelled out; “Sometimes I wish you weren’t my sister!”
With that, Ryker turned away from his sister, his breath fogging up as he panted from his shouting and he stomped away, wanting to get far away from Lucia. It didn't matter what his words might do to his sister, it felt good to yell at her like that, after so much pent up anger and guilt over the teasing that his eyes brought him.
