His mother was too busy chasing after their brother to pay much mind to the little boys as they had slipped away from her. The smaller boy was more of a follow than a leader and had willingly accepted his brother's idea to go off on their own without much of a fuss. He was tired of being around Judas, that was for sure...and this would mean that the two brothers could have a little time on their own. Independence was something that the young wolf both craved and feared, so going places with his brother would suffice for now.
He was interested in seeing the froggies with his sibling, but he wasn't at all interested in getting wet. Severus balked at the shore, looking uncertainly at the act that his brother was putting on for him. Was he stupid? That river had to be cold...even the air out here was cold. He shivered a little at the thought of going in the water, backing a few paces up and plopping his gray behind into the rocks and sand of the shore instead. This was where he would remain indefinitely as his brother risked his life in the river. I not save you, Oct. Nope. He warned.
Severus whined a little bit after the frog nearly attacked him, grumbling under his breath at his rambunctious sibling. What had he gotten himself into today by going off with Octavius? He was too afraid to turn back and try and look for their mother, too scared to face her wrath alone...so he would have to put up with whatever situations Octavius forced him into. The nearby voice caught his attention immediately, startling him as his brother came up beside him to cross in front of him. He snapped at his sibling, frightened of this stranger and unwilling to take a single step closer. Oct, Mom-ma be mad! We go! He hissed, eyes never leaving the outsider.
