/ +430Much like his brother, Severus wanted nothing to do with the deep dark caverns that seemed endless. Unlike their dark and not-so-sane sibling Judas, the lighter of the three siblings seemed to have a lust for sunlight in common. Sevy himself was busy picking through the village at the various gardening projects, trying to get used to his biped form. He always felt a little stupid in it, because not only was he shorter than most of the males in that form, but he was damned scrawny as well. It definitely didn’t suit his “I am the King of All” mindset.
After catching a few mocking stares from some of Anathema’s ravens, Severus had opted to leave the village and that form. He dropped to all fours in his Optime and concentrated, easily shifting into the more suitable secui form. Large grey paws moved over the earth as he closed his silver eyes, basking in the warmth of the sunlight as he walked along. He became so caught up in the sun that he forgot to open his eyes and look where he was going. Soon, his paws bumped up against a furry mass and he went sprawling, landing on his chest with his paws pinned beneath him and his rump in the air.
With an embarrassed growl, he quickly jumped up and whirled around to snarl at the offending fur ball, only to find his pale sibling Octavius basking in the sun. The last time he’d seen the male, he’d grabbed his brother by the ear in front of the rest of the pack and had shaken it. He wondered if the other male was mad at him for a moment, before shrugging his wide shoulders. They were brothers, they picked at and tormented each other all the time, from the moment they were pups. Relaxing, Severus lowered himself down on his belly and rested his head over lazily crossed paws.
“Octa, what’s up? I haven’t seen you since the meeting,” he said, his tone casual. While they didn’t get along 24/7 as pups, he still preferred his alabaster brother over Judas. His lip curled at the thought of his dark, demon-eyed sibling. As a whelp he’d always been in trouble, with Naniko yelling at him every other day while the other siblings sat uncomfortably on the sidelines or snuck away. Severus thought him weak for constantly hiding out in the caverns, likely too afraid to show his face. Octa had been a bit lazy in the months they were alive, sure, but he at least made an effort.
