Mythris was cold - the snow dusted his pelt and gave him the opposite pattern of his sister Dalmatia in comparison. He had another haul in his mouth, rocks carefully carted to add to the hoard of them that lined the edges of his den. There was just something about the pretty stones all organized and laid out in their specific spots. Sometimes the stones gave him different feelings - if he concentrated on them, he could even imagine them almost with their own little emotions and personalities. If he told his sisters they'd think he was crazy - Aurelia would give her grimace-smile and tell him 'that's nice' while Beri barreled into him with the notion of 'being happy he was happy'.

So he kept the random notions in his head, keeping his little pretties just tucked in their spots and settled.

Isaiah carefully nestled the shiny quartz in it's spot, placed between the more pinker shades and between the paler spaces too - he was careful, he had a system and once he was done, he backed up to survey his little treasures. That was when it caught his eye. The stone was a brilliant sort of blue, something that seemed to be a perfect match for Cassius. With a little smile Isaiah picked up the moonstone and began to track his brother's most recent trail.

It wouldn't take Isaiah very long to find his brother. The blond wolf took to his usual trails, walking with a leisurely gait that was typical of the young medic. He had been meaning to spend more time with family. But thoughts of seeking guidance from Solvi was more appealing at the time to him. Though coming up to her and asking for help was a daunting task for the shy and elusive male. So he kept to himself for the time being, that is until he caught the scent of his brother heading in his direction. Cassius let out a soft woof in his direction, guiding the darker sibling to him with relative ease. Blue eyes looked on for his silhouette, wondering what Isaiah had in store for him.

It wasn't long before the hunter and gatherer found his sibling. The paler form of Cassius always stood out to him, his golden brother bringing a smile to his face, even though he was carefully clutching the moonstone he'd found for Cassius. Rather than put his prize down he instead kept it clutched in his teeth as he leaned against his sibling for a moment, shoulder to shoulder. The tactile reminder of them and just the solidarity made him feel more grounded and better, but his siblings had always had that effect on him.

He finally took a step back and placed the stone down between them. In the light, there was a flash of the beautiful blue on the surface of the stone, the paler edges of the stone showing more of the same coloration that Cassius had on his flanks down to his belly. I saw this and thought of you, Cass. Isaiah explained with a little grin. Second I saw the flash it made me think of your eyes. It gave him a feeling of peace - something that he always accredited to Cassius too.

Cassius watched with a softness to his face as his brother came closer. His darker counterpart was holding on to something shiny, the light of the midday caught the stone in such a way that he saw a glimpse of pretty colors bouncing off of it. Isaiah came closer, resting against him in an affectionate lean. It made him feel warm and welcomed, calmer in a way that only his siblings could provide for him. Just as quickly as the warmth entered his body however, it left him just as soon.

The sweetness of his brother's eyes still remained though as he went to put down his prized jewel. The blue sheen of the stone shimmered at him, revealing a part of its true beauty. Aw thank you, Isaiah. It's really beautiful. Cassius smiled a soft and gentle smile, his tail wagging lightly as he gazed upon the gem. A gift for your brother? Or was this just show and tell? Not that Cassius minded. After all he would relish in any moment of innocence that he could grasp these days.

Isaiah couldn't help the feeling of pride when he saw how Cassius investigated the little stone that he'd brought along. His siblings were always so good to him in general, patient with his whole....falling asleep thing, and then indulging him in his little appreciation for his stones and crystals. If he thought too much about it, Isaiah would be too drastically overcome with emotion it would almost freeze him in place. Aurelia, who struggled to show emotions took the time with him to be raw and real, and Berii always made sure he felt loved. He and Dalmatia had spent so many times together, embracing their emotions together, and even though he didn't remember times with Euphemia since she had been gone for so long, what he did feel about her was the unwavering, unconditional way that she believed in her family.

Somehow, he didn't even realize that he hadn't included Tiberius in thinking of his family. He'd gotten too used to his father being absent.

Oh! Yeah - this happens to be for my most handsome brother. Isaiah teased with a grin. He had a lopsided sort of smile, tail tagging loosely behind him. I think it was meant to be with you. It feels.....it feels just....it makes me think of you - it's balanced. He chuckled softly, looking from the stone's shine back to Cassius. Is that silly? That they make me feel different things? Cass would at least be honest with him.

It was sweet to see how much Isaiah took pride in himself. Cassius smiled widely at his brother, happy that he could appreciate his brother's love for this beautiful stones. Of course not. It's not silly at all. I think that it's an amazing gift what you can do, to take in the qualities and in a way, read the stones as if they were living beings with energies all their own. It's a beautiful quality, Isaiah. Cassius walked closer to him, giving him a playful nuzzle on the neck scruff. Then a playful nip came right behind it. Handsome? Me?Nah, I'm no looker. just an ordinary guy over here. You are the cutest thing ever, brother. That I am sure of. He gave a playful tap on the shoulder with his paw, eyes sparkling with a soft yet mischievous glimmer to them.
