Hemera:

Hemera ears seemed to flatten for a moment as she heard the stern tone of her older brother. Her thoughts weren't wrong. She couldn't expect her brother to stay by her side forever."I... I know I remember its...just I know one day you won't be here and..."She shook her head quietly"I'm sorry"the colorful she wolf said her voice quiet. Her gaze looked up meeting Zeus'. She could see how much he truly cared for her and she offered a tiny smile but that was about it. She didn't mean to seem down but she had come to realize she was way too dependant with her siblings hunting for her and then having to deal with her when she had become pregnant.Hemera, you’re not a burden. You never were. Maybe to Nox or Khoine, but never to me.She then blinked hearing him say that."I...I wasn't?"She asked quietly looking to him. She then looked down not sure of she could make such a promise"I...I'll try"Hemera said.though she blinked looking to rabbit as he pushed it towards her"yeah..I am a little hungry"she said crouching down and she started tearing into the hare carcass quietly.

Zeus;

It was so hard to watch his sister under the weight of such sadness and depression. He tried to help, he really did, but sometimes he wondered if he made it worse. If him being there made her feel even more worthless. Zeus couldn’t afford to let the depression wear off on him too, so he stayed strong and kept his vibes encouraging and is words uplifting. Hemera needed all the help she could get to stand back on her own paws and see the great caring sister she was. ”No Hemera, you weren’t. And you still aren’t, and you never will be.” His sparkling blue eyes lingered on his sister as she tried to smile and as she pondered his plea for her to ba an example for Laden. She could only manage to say it weakly, ”I...I’ll try.” ”And I know you will.” Zeus whispered, but by the flick of her ears, he knew she heard him. He knew his words reached her head, there was no doubt about that, but he hoped they would fall to her heart as well, like a gentle rain for a dry and wilting flower. Laden was the sunshine, and Zeus was the rain, she had to start blooming again soon. But like all living plants, growing took time. And Zeus had the patience to wait it out.

Zeus watched his sister bend down to begin her meal, and let a small smile pass over his lips before he quietly stepped away from the sunset colored she-wolf and walked to the edge of the clearing. As he looked back upon the mother and son, Zeus couldn’t help but feel proud of his family. It may not be his mate and own offspring, but he was their protector and he was helping raise the pup, nothing made him happier. He turned to leave, leaving Hemera’s fresh kill for herself and Laden, and he to hunt his own.
