Unconsciously, as Nashota danced with the storm, Michael inched backward until his back was against the rearing stone of the cave wall. His mouth hung open and his eyes were very wide as the Jellicle stepped down from the rock, seeming to shrink, somehow, as the lightning returned to the clouds.
::E-Evan...:: the boy called nervously.
::Be calm, Michael!:: the eagle replied, though his feathers were ruffled uneasily. ::I've heard of this-- it's just a talent some Jellicles have.::
Michael nodded, straightening his tough face as the first fat drops of rain began to fall from the sky. "Uh... yeah," he replied to Nashota, pulling off a passable sneer. He scuttled quickly into the cave, keen eyes piercing the darkness, and stretched out beside his older brother. His eyes glinted balefully in the darkness as he watched Nashota curl up near Kaleadora. Silently, Evan descended from his perch and sailed into the cave, alighting on a rock not far from his young Cheysuli companion.
Kalea yawned cavernously and watched Dante's eyes widen as he saw her teeth. She winked at him, and addressed Khanada (making sure that Dante could hear, as well). ::Nah, that's alright. I'm prob'ly as interested in him as he is in me-- I've never seen a human child so close before.:: As slowly and cautiously as the boy had touched her tail, Kalea stretched out a three-finge and gently brushed Dante's dark locks. She withdrew her hand quickly with a nervous giggle. ::'Sides, I like him, too.::
She lifted an ear to the now driving rain outside the cave, and stretched luxuriously in the warmth and safety of their shelter. ::Time ta sleep, Dante,:: she told him quietly. ::We'll have lots ta do t'morrow...:: She rested her chin on folded arms and closed her eyes, back to the storm.
::G'night, Nashy,:: she said to her sister sleepily.
