[open] Ice cream, you scream

[Catryn]

Catryn’s world consists of her brother but if he ever asked if he could go play with other foals that weren’t her, that didn’t have a tendency to stumble and bring the games to a halt, she would. She’s sure that she would be okay for however long it took, that she could take care of herself just for a little bit. They have guardians too, she knows - acidic smelling creatures that have hard-sounding bodies that don’t linger close but lurk nearby, especially at night. If she could see them, maybe Catryn wouldn’t feel safe, but in her dark world, she thinks them angels watching out for them when their mother did not. Little does they know they’re blood relatives too. She’s daydreaming, listening to Sixteen breathe when suddenly he begins to shout excitedly. It doesn’t startle her because she could hear the intake of breath beforehand and she laughs at him because she can already feel his infectious personality seeping into her and waking her from her waking slumber. Her sides are always warm but there’s an added comfort to having Sixteen’s wing draped over her as he guides her to whatever wonderful thing he is seeing. One of the acid-creatures is nearby, and between them and her brother she knows this is safe. Sixteen won’t let anything happen to her - and though there are chaotic noises in the distance she’s not worried about it. There’s always someone causing some sort of bother nearby.  “OH!” She exclaims when the cold water first touches her skin and she recoils slightly - but she is determined to do whatever her twin does and if he can go in further she can too. So she wades in slowly next to him, grateful for her twin next to her helping to ease away some of the chill. When he spritzes water at her and tells her he’s a water dragon, she rolls her eyes and knocks her side into him to nudge him. “TEENY you know I can’t look at anything, you brat. You're a bother dragon.” She admonishes him but she’s laughing a lot when she does it - thoroughly enjoying their swim even if she was going to need to lie in the sun for hours afterwards to warm up again. Before the laughter dies, she scoops up a small mouthful of water and sprays it out in front of them with a giggle, enjoying the splashing noise. “What kind of dragon am I?” Catryn asks in a bright, curious tone.
