she acts like summer and walks like rain; munroe, any

[munroe]

We've become desolate. It's not enough, it never is.
Living is hard enough without you fucking up.

The wild child has definitely noticed Ima’s two newest additions. He’s never bothered to learn their names or approach them. He’s always been more of a loner with the exception of Ima and his foxy companions. But he accepts that Ima contains a large capacity to love and desires to surround herself with family. It just doesn’t mean that he is willing to place his affections outside his chosen few.

But he still believes he has a duty to protect her heart – and that might include nipping any malicious pranks in the bud.

The oasis was a routine spot for his little group to refresh themselves after a day of exploring their beloved home. It was during their trip to one of their favorite caves to escape the sun in when he caught the noise of sudden shifts of sand. The dunes could be precarious at times but usually bursts of sand storms would move that much sand in such a short amount of time.

Intent hazel eyes glance sideways to see the youngest of Ima’s heart careening down a dune. Shual yipped in concern but Munroe simply shook his head as he watched the girl determinedly climb the dune once more. He could tell the tumble hadn’t damaged her and he was just about to contentedly continue on his way to the cool shade that awaited him. But Refr grumbling about dumb felines alerted him to the possible predator that was approaching the unsuspecting girl.

His eyes narrowed in recognition and he realized that someone else of Ima’s should be lurking close by as well. Although he’d never once spoken to the feline, he was aware that it accompanied the youngest son everywhere. The only question remained – where was the young boy hiding?

He gestured to his friends and they silently got the message. Splitting away from the two vulpine, he confidently began the climb to the top of the dune, catching the very last of the crafty feline’s words. Perhaps it was because his companions did not care for the cat, but Munroe held a healthy suspicion of him regardless.

He swung his torso between the girl and cat and sent a small glare his way.

“Ima always know.”

Because Ima wouldn’t allow anything to touch her family.

Meanwhile, Shual and Refr were stealthily circling around the large dunes with the assumption that the young prince wouldn’t have strayed too far from his catty friend. The fur between their toes helped muffle their footsteps and they gave each mischievous looks once the boy was spotted eavesdropping.

They crept slowly and carefully, their eyes focused upon his hocks as their height didn’t allow them to fully jump upon his back. Hoping to catch him unsuspecting, they planned to unknowingly turn the prank onto himself. With a small signaling of Refr’s ears, the duo pounced upon the boy’s hind legs with playful nips – all the while cackling in glee.

MUNROE

it's easy to fall apart completely
