Under pressure... (tagged + open)

“Finally! The sun! Don’t you dare.” Sigyn’s pale green eyes shot a warning look at her brother. She had sworn she had seen the symbol on his back leg start to glow and she was tired of the clouds, the rain, being wet… the last thing she needed was another artificial rain cast. Was that a slight smile that swept quickly over Fenrir’s features? He hardly ever showed emotion, so Sigyn enjoyed it when she could, even if it was at her expense, it was the only way she was able to learn how he worked.

Once she was sure her sea foam green brother wasn’t going to start the water works, she picked up a small rock in her mouth and made for a nearby rock formation that curved over the water. The sun was hitting it at just the right angle for a sunbath. She crouched and flopped sideways, lying on her side upright. With a last suspicious glance at her brother she placed the rock down and started to work on it. It was more of a stone, not too large, but not so small either. She had not been able to levitate anything very large, though she had tried. The limits of her ability were disappointing, but she had gotten creative in what she could do.

Like tossing dust and tiny pebbles up where here feet landed to make an illusion her carrying a lot more weight than her lithe form did. Or covering her tracks as she walked, moving loose dirt and pebbles over her tracks. Now though, she practiced lifting the stone a little off the ground, but it fell as soon as it rose. She settled with rolling it around and seeing how quickly she could maneuver it.

Meanwhile, Fenrir had entered the pool of water at the base of the falls, letting the water swirl around his legs as he entered. The cool water was foreign, as he it had been a while since he’d been wet in his rain umbrella bubble. He emitted a growl of pleasure and moved further in, being larger it took longer to fully submerse himself than other wolves. Once submerged he came back up, treading water – glancing around up at his sister and then around at the shore.
