What do you say if we make this the thread where Icarus shifts for the first time? I'm not sure if Ember has already, but perhaps she could too if you wanted. :]

indent Icarus, though he wouldn’t always be the first to admit it, was actually rather fond of spending time with his sister. Sure, now that he was getting older he tended to go off on his own more, but he still enjoyed times like these when Ember came to him in hopes that they might spend a day together. The human city was a place Icarus had only been to once before, with an outcome that was not so pleasant. Either way, he was still courageous enough to go back for more. Maybe the two would find a great adventure, or perhaps develop a new passion. Frankly, Icarus was looking for anything that might make his adrenaline rush and body tingle.
indent The trek there had been filled with fruitless chatter, though Icarus didn’t mind one bit. In fact, he enjoyed being able to spend time with his sibling. It was nice to be able to talk about all of the things on his mind that perhaps a stranger wouldn’t be able to comprehend for lack of an understanding of the situation. Being his sister, Ember knew all about the happenings within Storm.
indent "We’re here!" Icarus called out, noting himself just how much his speech was improving. He wondered if he would turn out like his father, carrying the same accent that marked some of his words. It had plagued him more in his first months, but seemed to be diminishing quite a bit, even though Phoenix was the only parent around to influence. Icarus missed his mother, as did Ember, but he had decided to move on. No need dwelling on something he couldn’t change.
indent "Look’s pretty cool, huh? It was even creepier when I came alone – there was uh bunch of shadows ev’rywhere." Icarus cast his gaze on one of the houses, taking his memories back to when he had met that coyote hybrid. "Let’s check out one of these buildings!" He suggested, moving closer to their unfamiliar forms.
