I like this table.

Hotaru yawned and blinked his eyes against the sunlight. He looked down at the ground a few feet from him. He sighed and rolled off the thick branch he had been napping on. He hit the ground with an oof as the snow cushioned his landing. He stood up straight and yawned again, this time stretching out his arms. He heard his neck pop as he moved it. He looked around, shielding his eyes against the powerful winter sun. It wasn't that the sun itself was strong, but the snow below him magnified it to almost painful levels. Adrian tried to remember where he was, his mind still fogged over from his daytime nap. When his mother and grandmother had went out hunting, Adrian had snuck away to one of his favorite nap trees. He could scale the tree easily and balance himself on the wide branch. Then he would just lay down and go to sleep. Normally he only napped when Hotaru wasn't around to keep him company or when he wasn't practicing some instrument or another with his grandmother.

Thinking of Hotaru made the male wonder how long he had been sleeping. Father wouldn't have worried about looking for him, if he had even noticed Adrian was gone, and mother and grandmother were out hunting. That left only Hotaru to search for him and she knew about most of his secret places. Him and her had very little that the other didn't know about. Adrian saw Hotaru as his baby sister, though he knew they were twins, and would do anything he could to protect her. He couldn't imagine what his life would be like without Hotaru to brighten up his day. They teased each other constantly but he knew that when it came down to it, the two would do whatever they had to for each other.

Adrian started to walk back towards the main part of the pack. His tree was a few minutes from where the rest of the pack normally gathered. It took the Kido male about fifteen minutes to arrive back at the main part of the pack. And he arrived just as Hotaru approached their father to ask about him. Adrian smiled and walked up to the three, noting Malik. "Hello Father, Hello sister." He said with a smile, glancing at the two. He looked towards Malik and kept the smile on his face. He didn't particularly like the male. He always seemed to be sizing people up, like they were his prey. The only person the beta male didn't look at as prey was Adrian's father. Maybe that is why their father never noticed it. But Kido trusted the man to protect the pack, though he trusted him with little else. "Hello to you as well Malik."He said with curt respect. Then he turned back towards Hotaru and grinned, "You were looking for me?" He asked with a curious look on his face.

Adrian looked her over. She seemed tense among their father and Malik. While Adrian might not like Malik, he didn't feel nervous or tense around him. Adrian carried himself with an air of confidence. He showed his father and Malik the respect they deserved but he expected the same from them. Adrian had gotten his and Hotaru's father's drive and confidence. When Adrian set his mind to something, he did it. And he could be very stubborn. But his sister didn't seem as confident. He also noted the small piece of leather she held and the tired look in her eyes. He had seen that look on her face a hundred times. It was the look she got right after she got done with a project that she had worked really hard on. It was a satisfied and pleased expression but also one of exhaustion. It made Adrian worry when she kept herself up to work on something but when it came to carving, Hotaru was as stubborn as him at times. And he knew that she wouldn't like him bringing up the fact that she looked so tired in front of their father, so he held his tongue, for her.
