Kya shrugged. "Well, I guess now you do. But that's the only time it's happened," She added quickly. Taki glanced up slowly. "...May I add to the story?" She asked, speaking quietly for the first time since Shadow came to the camp.

Shadow turned his head to Taki, finding it odd to hear her so quiet after her loud behaviour

Sirah looked over to Taki aswel, leaning up and resting on her arms "Sure, Taki"

"My feeling changed, too," Taki said. "I was panicking when I fell in...I think that's the first feeling Kya had. But then the feeling started to edge off, as if I knew someone was coming. When it took a while, I started getting nervous again, and I think that's the second rush to Kya." She ended her words awkwardly, staring at the group.

Shadow sat more forward "That is quite amazing... be very helpful for future if eachother got lost."

Sirah jumped up "Like a story! two siblings get lost and rely on their connection to find eachother!"

"Kya nodded. "In a way," She said in order to answer both questions. She was about to explain further when a voice interrupted. "Kya! What's taking you so long?" Kya slapped her forehead, realizing she'd forgotten about her flute lessons. "Have to go now. Flute lessons!" She said hurriedly, running over to her teacher.

Shadow sat up remembering he wanted to hear Kya play the flute. Rushing after her "Kya! May i listen to you practice?"

Sirah watched him run of then looks to Taki "What you think of Shadow then Taki?" she asked

Kya glanced at her teacher, Anona, who nodded. "Sure, come on." She invited.

Taki shrugged. "He's...interesting, I'll give him that. He could make a good wolf, though I think that the whole being exiled thing is a bit suspicious." She blinked. "What do you think of him?"

Shadow smiled, "Thank you." He said joining Kya

Sirah nodded "It is.. prehaps we could ask him of it? or would that seem to early for us to ask?" then she looked over to where shadow stood "and me?.. I dont know.. i get these on and off thoughts of him.. i mean, the first time i saw him.." she stared for a few moments "Doesnt he look like.. you know.." She said looking back to Taki, referring to her older brother who passed away over a year ago.

Taki blinked. Now that she thought about it, Shadow did look a great deal like Sirah's brother. That would explain why she was so clingy with him. "Yeah, he kinda dose," She said aloud.

Sirah looked down "Its embarrasing.. i mean, i was first to approach him.. and i clinged to his arm.. just like i did to Amis.. and Shadow didnt push me away or anything.. hes just as strong as Amis.. looks like him, i could of swore when i first saw Shadow.. i saw my big bro again.." She stopped, a tear coming from her eyes " I miss him.. so much"

Taki felt a bit guilty watching Sirah cry over her lost brother. Taki didn't know what she would do if Kya died. "It's ok," She whispered, trying miserably to comfort Sirah. "Things happen that you can't control." She awkwardly pulled back her ears and closed her eyes.

Sirah sighed, Crawling over leaning onto Taki, crying alittle but managing to control her emotions "I k..know but why does it have to happen to him.. He protected me, fed me.. cared for me all the time.. he was like a big brother and a father.. ment the world to me Taki.. WHY did he have to die?!" she said breaking out in another cry

Taki glanced around awkwardly, desperately wishing someone else would come help. "I don't know," She said.

Sirah stopped her breathing and relaxed.. wiping away her tears "Sorry Taki.. really, i dont mean to push this on you.. hes gone.. your right, things just happen.. i was managing to settle, now i saw Shadow.. he looks like him.. thats all i can say, my mind keeps mixing up how i feel.. like i act like hes my older brother.. or hes astranger.."

Taki didn't reply, lost in thought.

Meanwhile, Anona pulled out her flute. Kya did the same. "Ok, Kya. Let's hear that song you've been practicing." Kya positioned the flute. She hesitated a moment, trying to remember the first note. Then she began, breathing slowly and freely into the wooden instrument.
