So casually cruel in the name of being honest.

Toward the royal whelping chamber did she go, with a joyful spring in her stride. Rea hadn't spent much time with her little siblings since their arrival - in fact, she'd thought them so boring that she hadn't really bothered to make much of an effort to connect with them. Now that they were growing, however, and with them able to venture beyond the den for a time, the elder sister was eager to share her time with them.

“Heyyyyy,” she called out on arrival, sure to attract the attention of @Ira or @Hieronymous or whatever guardian might be watching over the cubs that evening, “who wants to play!?” She paused outside and swiftly assumed a low bow, her mottled tail sweeping the air with excited anticipation. On her face was the brightest of grins, and her seaglass eyes stared ahead to observe the appearance of @Petra, @Andor and @Olivier.

Olivier thought this new world was strange. Though she hadn't any real memories of the time before this, all she knew was that it had been warm and quiet. This... this was different, the world so noisy and bodies so busy around her that the young girl didn't know what she thought of it. Or any one other than the bodies she slept with every day.

Her litter mates were loud energy where Olivier was a quiet buzz, content to lay and watch as opposed to rolling around and being... energised. The little girl wasn't lazy by any means, only finding that for the moment, she preferred to stay back as she tried to understand the world around her. When a voice entered the Chambers, one she didn't know with complete familiarity, her little brows creased.

She... she thinks she knows it. Olivier frowns, casting her gaze to the mouth of the Den where the other stood, bowed and smiling. She blinked. Olivier stared, uncertain what to do. ^^

A stirring from within the hollow brought Rea's ears forward, and she stared ahead at its darkened depths with her chin propped atop mottled paws. It was the darkest of her little sisters who made an appearance first, tentative as a pair of stormy eyes peeked out into the open in search of the menace who'd come to disturb them.

The pace of Rea's tail quickened, and she gave an excited little whine. It occurred to her then that she didn't even remember the name of this particular pup (no big sister of the year awards here!), and just as she prepared to try and beckon her outside another of the littlest Boesch kids came bolting past her littermate with far more enthusiasm.

Rea's attention turned to Little Blue at once, and she flopped dramatically down to the side as the babe made a beeline straight for her to swiftly set about nipping at her ankles. “Oh noooo,” she cried, pretending to gasp for air as laughed and writhed around among the grass, “begone, tiny hell-hound! Release me!”

Olivier was happy with the result of her sister waking, sloppily making a beeline for the older wolf and successfully garnering the attention. Good, she thought, remaining quiet as she observed. Olivier held no desire to join in, finding it better to watch than join in. Petra was happy for it and that was enough.

The girl stepped back into her shadows, tipping her chin as she listened to her sister(s) have fun.

That was enough for her. ^^

Too focus on the assault by one sister, Rea was oblivious to the retreat of the other. She laughed, overcome by joy at being able to roughhouse with the little ones (until either of their parents saw fit to intervene, at least). Rea had provoked many a fight with @Cleo in their lifetime and had encouraged @Renn to wrestle with her whenever they were free of their mother's scrutiny, but those times were often interrupted. The world saw her as fragile, while she herself saw a superpower that no one else had.

“Yesssss,” she drawled when Petra bellowed a strong "NO", tail sweeping the grass and dirt on which she squirmed, “you're such a-” Rea parted her jaws, laughing heartily from her belly, and reached with her forepaws to swipe the little blue-grey demon away from her tufted chest where she pinched at her hide with little teeth, “stop! I'll bleed to death!”
