It was only a moment until she heard, sweet and merry, the tune of Sage. Large, dark satellite ears cupped forwards towards the sound, until the brush parted to reveal China's sister. Sage was, undoubtedly, beautiful - Like her siblings, she had such graceful motion and lithe frame. Maybe it was her sister's beauty that, temporarily, had created that uncomfortable feeling of worry within China; Maybe it was the fact that this place, home though it may be, was still strange and alien to her. Regardless, wrapping her arms around the sandy-pelted girl instantly eased the Lykoi princess of her qualms. A brilliant smile spread over her pixie maw as she snuggled in under the pretty rabbit-pelt blanket.
To her sister's remark, China chuckled softly, already feeling much happier and loving now that she was no longer as cold. "That it is! Earthmother has made the change quicker this year," A quick frown pulled over China's delicate features, but she concealed it quickly, not wanting her lovely sister to pick up on her unease. Winter had come in strong and fast, and it was lucky that they were with a clan now, or else they'd be braving the elements alone - Neither sister being particularly skilled at hunting, even reluctant to do so. Pulled from her thoughts by Sage's lilting voice, China smiled again. "Oh no, sweetie, of course not. We're safe here, I just know it," And to show that she was genuine, the silver-dappled girl slung one arm about her sister's slender waist, taking the opportunity to hitch up her short denim skirt and settle it more comfortably about slim hips.
Sage's body was nice and warm, and she smiled appreciatively. "You've been out planting again this morning, have you?" She grinned approvingly. Sage knew the worth of spreading life wherever she went, and it was China's loss that she was not quite as dedicated as her pure-hearted sister. Suddenly, and unexpectedly, she felt a strong pull of protective love for her sibling - Nobody should ever be unhappy, but for Sage to be unhappy... Well, China would do everything in her will to make sure that Sage was never unhappy. And when they caught up with Clover, and the trio were together again, surely happiness would be all there was. The prospect was delightful, and the silver and tan Lykoi girl looked for to it with all her heart. They would find Father, and all would be love and peace once more.
