Yay! 300+
Rio was disappointed when Lucia's answer came with a lack of detail. She had expected that disappointment, though. It was part of the anxiety that made her slow to dig into her meal. The simple, but upsetting reality of the absence of closeness between them created a relationship that acquaintances shared. She could not have planned to hear more about Lucia's life. As a matter of fact, the sable girl found herself unsure of where to start in her response to Lucia's heartfelt return. Truthfully, she could have answered many different ways, but she took a moment to think of which to choose. She followed her sister's pretty jade gaze to Toki, who became aware of their shared attention upon him and looked up with doleful brown eyes, glancing between them.
Whats? Just answers her, he whispered to his partner, who shifted her own gaze back her sister with a small half smile. We have been well... At this, Toki frowned. Rio understood that he wanted her to share more. The two were linked somehow, the fox harboring deep compassion for his larger canine companion. He had the ability to point her in the right direction, no matter how insigficantly she became lost. As well as we can be, Rio finished as amendment of her previous words, her voice falling in volume. Another rush of emotion overtook her, causing her to look down at the rabbit she had just killed. Toki licked his bloodstained maw and then used it to prod Rio's kill closer to her, wanting her to eat. Slowly, Rio bent and began to rip fur from the animal's soft hide, exposing the flesh. She took a dainty, but large bite, chewed and swallowed.
She sighed. Silence had ensued -- she didn't like it. Silence was all there had been between Lucia and her. Much as she wished to avoid heaviness, much as she wanted smiles and laughter instead, there were barriers she had to break first. Lucia... I've wanted to ask you... Do you miss Mama? Immediately, she looked away, pale yet bright eyes falling again to her rabbit. As Toki was glaring at her again, she obliged to eat more of her rabbit, needing something else, something normal like eating, while she caught up with her beloved, stranger of a sister.
