| Ines huddled in the closet, clutching a small stuffed rabbit as if her life depended on it. The thunder had startled her, causing her to retreat into the smallest space she could find in order to feel safe. This spot just happened to be the closet in the room she had been playing in while waiting for Nyla to come back. Shivering, she pulled a blanket tightly around her body. Another crash of thunder sounded and she forced her head under the blanket.
“Where are you Ny? I’m scared”
She huddled in the closet as the rain came down, tightening her grip on the stuffed toy in her arms. She prayed that her sister would come home safe, terrified that she’d be left alone to fend for herself. Her prayers were answered when, in between the rumbling thunder, she heard the door open and her sister’s voice filled the silence. Ines sighed in relief and stood quickly, pushing the closet door open and making her way to the top of the stairs. She was about to head down and join her sister when another voice caught her attention. It was male, someone she didn’t recognize. Cautiously she made her way down the steps and peered over the banister.
“Ny?”
Her voice was small and higher pitched than normal. Fear had gripped her and it wasn’t letting go. She spotted her sister talking to a strange, white-haired man. Holding tightly to the blanket, she descended the remaining stairs and threw herself into her sister’s arms. Tears streamed down her face and she hugged her sister tightly, afraid to let go.
“I was so scared. Are you okay Ny? I missed you.”

With pricked ears, Nyla listened to what Zephyr had to her in a silence as her mind processed the reasoning. The blonde easily understood his dilemma after getting to know him a little bit. He had spent a majority of his time around animals and the fox-eared girl could easily imagine that the creatures felt like family to him. The animals mutated were corrupted due to the Maras, which was truly a horrendous concept to dwell on. Nyla tightened her grip a little, staying silent a few more moments.
"It must be hard for you. You spent so much time among animals in your life and seeing this... I can only imagine how atrocious it must be for your eyes especially. I can already tell it won't get easier, but perhaps try thinking or it this way. When you kill them in self-defense, you're freeing them from the madness in their head... I doubt it helps, but it might help you feel a little better." Nyla suggested, but she was limited on any good ones; she was concerned her comment may just make him mad. "If you ever need to talk again, I'm always here to lend a listening ear." The blonde pulled back, her arm outstretched to touch his shoulders and a weak smile on her face; an attempt to encourage positive emotions.
When Zephyr mentioned her sister, Nyla stood up, ears pricked as they picked up the sounds of Ines descending the steps. When she heard Ines call her by her nickname, a quaint smile appeared on her face. She turned to see her sister descending the remainder of the steps and threw herself at her. With ease, Nyla caught her sister and hugged her tightly, listening to her sisters words.
"Hush, my little Miel. Everything's alright," she spoke gently. "I'm fine. I am so sorry for being gone for that long." Her voice was smooth and soothing to attempt to calm her frightened sister. She glanced over at her company, realizing that she should probably introduce Ines to him. "Ines, that guy over there is Zephyr, just so ya know, and the fox is Ember. I met them while I was out. They helped me out quite a bit and will have to wait here 'till the storm passes by." Her explanation was quick and relayed the necessary information to her little sister. "Now, how about I sing ya something to calm you down? That helps make you feel better most days. Anything you want me to sing, Ines?" Nyla asked, keeping a tight grip on her sister.

Zeph smiled at Nyla, he himself had believed that already, but it only helped a little. He was about to respond to her saying he could talk to her any time, when her sister came down, looking obviously upset. He smiled at the little girl, a protective instinct coming over him.
He stood up and tucked his hand into his back pocket, pulling out a now worthless, but still very interesting antique coin. It was made of real silver, which in this post apocalyptic world had little value, let alone the 50 dollar's marked on its surface. But it was shiny, and had a beautiful carving of an eagle on it.
"Here, you can keep your mind occupied with this, i find the feeling of my thumb running over the eagle is very soothing. It is nice to meet you Ines."
His smile was friendly, and his tone kind, but he still had a bit of chill to him, as his ability to freeze was taking some time to 'cool down' and let his skin warm up.

| Ines smiled at her sister, feeling the effect of her calming words. Nyla always seemed to know just what to do when it came to taking care of Ines. The young girl was incredibly grateful to have someone there for her. She had no idea where she’d be in life if her sister wasn’t there.
Breaking out of her thoughts Ines was suddenly aware of another person in the room. Nyla introduced the man as Zephyr and his companion a fox, as Ember. Zephyr smiled at Ines and she buried her head in her sister’s chest. She wasn’t necessarily scared, just a bit shy. Ines was unused to meeting new people and she could feel her face redden in embarrassment. She gently shook her head at her sister’s question and looked up at Zephyr. Taking a cautious step forward, she took the coin from him and flipped it in her hands several times; rubbing her small, chubby fingers over the engraving.
“Thank you, Mister Zephyr. It’s nice to meet you too.”
Ines smiled shyly and looked from the man to her sister. If Nyla thought he was trustworthy then she had to believe it too. The smile quickly turned to a frown when she realized he was cold. They were both wet, but he seemed to be the most affected. It concerned her and she was immediately worried that he might get sick. Ines threw herself at him and wrapped her arms tightly around his torso, using her body heat in an effort to warm him.
“Are you okay? You look real cold Mister..”

A comfort came over Nyla's heart when she saw her precious younger sister smile. It was reassurance that Ines was calming from the fear that the storm had spawned. The blonde teen cared intensely for her sister since for years Nyla had taken the responsibility of raising Ines and making certain her younger sister's life was joyful. Being condemned to this apocalyptic world made the task of maintaining her sister's happiness a difficult task, but it was rewarding to see a smile upon Ines's face.
Once she introduced the company that she had guided to the base, Nyla felt her sister hide in her chest. A gentle chuckle graced the fox eared girl's lips, her sister was undoubtedly shy when it came to strangers. Nyla tightened the grip around her sister and softly rubbed her back to sooth her sister's shyness.
"It's alright, Ines," Nyla said in a halcyon tone.
The blonde's yellow eyes watched as Ines shook her head at her question for a song. Her well-tuned ears easily picked up the sound of Zephyr's voice and his offering of the coin. When she felt her sister begin to pull away, Nyla's grip loosened and a lip-tight smile appeared on her face. Slowly, Nyla rose from her position and watched as her little sister cautiously made her way over to Zephyr to take the coin he offered. It soothed the blonde teen to see the white haired man trying to help her sister calm down. She could always appreciate when people treated her sister kindly; it brought a warmth to Nyla's heart. In silence, Nyla watched the little exchange and found herself content with it. When Ines went to throw her arms around Zephyr, is made Nyla's hand go to her mouth as her smile broadened. This was excellent! Her sister did make an good point, Zephyr did look cold after being out in the rainstorm and both were soaked. It was time for a fresh change of clothing and some time snuggling in think blankets.
"I suppose we ought to grab a few blankets and get changed then," Nyla began. She looked at Zephyr. "There are a couple of bedrooms upstairs. I don't know how many clothes are in the dressers, but you might be able to find something that fits."
It was likely the best course of action, getting out of their soaked clothing then trying to warm up while the storm passed through.

It's all good my friend, you were busy. |

Zephyr stumbled back a bit at the sudden hug and laughed, a deep bellied hearty laugh.
"Well, I probably am, not that i can feel it. I'm pretty much a walking snow cone anyway. Or maybe I'm more like a walking Air Conditioner? Well, anyway, I would agree that we all need to warm up. In my bag i have extra clothes, so i should be all set there. Its not that uncommon for me to end up soaked, or covered in blood, usually mine, when i find an injured animal, or one that is mutating in a way that causes it pain."
He turned to the FireFox who was making muttering noises as she licked the very few drops of water that had managed to land on her.
"Ember? If you could go sit in the fire place and crank up the heat? I bet this place has a Generator and a boiler. We could get hot water."
He had a similar set up at his own place. He had managed to find a place with a natural gas well, and hooked up a generator. He was one of the few people outside a settlement with running water, and he was pretty sure even the settlement struggled with heating theirs.
He grabbed his bag, gave a half salute to the two girls and headed towards the door that looked most likely to lead to the basement.
"I'll go change downstairs. See if there's fuel for the Boiler while I'm at it. If we get lucky this house is hooked up to the natural gas lines from the city. Most of them are still intact."
He opened the door and promptly walked into the shelving inside the closet.
"Right...not the basement..."
