By the time Sol had finished cleaning the wound, he was very glad that his brother still slept. Cleaning any injury was very painful and his hands were covered with blood. There was a small puddle of it by his knees too. Satisfied that the dirty job was done, Sol healed it completely and didn't even leave a trace of a scar.
Sol got up and stepped back from his twin. A few droplets of blood fell from his fingertips. He raised his hands to look at them. They shook visibly.
"I-I'm going to wash." Sol said in a shaky whisper before walking off.

Ryhe watched after him, "Be careful!" He sighed and fed the fire. The smell of the fresh meat around him made his empty stomach ache. He left it for the boys, he'll catch something for himself once he was sure they were fed enough.

Sol disappeared into the forest and not long after, Somnus woke up. He yawned, stretched, and looked around. He checked his wrist, noticing that it didn't hurt. Somnus ran his fingers down his wrist.
"Where'd Sol go?" He asked Ryhe and came to sit with him.

Ryhe looked at him, "Mornin, he went out to clean off his hands. There's breakfast if yer hungry." Ryhe nodded to the piles of meat.

Somnus looked over at the meat and his face seemed to take on the color green. "I'm not hungry." He groaned and crawled over to Sol's cloak. He wrapped it around his head before trying to sleep again.
Sol sat at the edge of the creek, his elbows resting on his knees as he looked at his reflection in the water. He felt no better than his twin. Sol plunged his hands into the water and scrubbed away the blood. He almost made his hands bleed he was scrubbing so hard. Afterwards, he curled on the bank and listened to the water move.

Ryhe stared at him. He was confused at this sudden mood change, they seemed pretty happy last night. He watched Somus, then looked back. His heart sank as he worried.

(*hugs Ryhe and sobs happily* I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE ONLINE!!!)
Somnus fell asleep after curling up on his side. Two hours passed before Sol returned. His eyes were downcast and blank. He pulled his blanket out of his bag and wrapped up, despite the warmth of the day. Sol sat as close to the fire as he could get and stared inanely into its depths.
"If you're hungry," Sol said softly, "go ahead and eat. Som and I won't be today."

Ryhe sighed, "I'll use the meat too keep predators off us. I'll keep the muscles for you two in case you get hungry." Ryhe stood and grabbed the basket of organs and headed off.
((Sorry, I had and ortho))

Sol moved over to his brother and curled up beside him. He laid an arm over his brother and worked another healing. He fell asleep, healing, beside him.

Ryhe came back to them, empty handed. He left the bloody basket there so the predators had something to occupy them for now. The bandit scratched his head and sighed, he hoped the boys would be okay.

Sometime around noon, the twins woke up. Sol was ravenous and Somnus thought he could eat a whole herd of deer. They looked at each other and began to grin impishly.
"We're going hunting," Sol told Ryhe, "wanna come with?"

Ryhe looked up from read his book and smiled, "No thanks. there's still that meat if you want something in yer stomach while you hunt." The bandit took off his glasses and leaned back, rubbed his neck. He had been reading in that position for a while.
((sorry for being slow, I was watching V for Vendetta(sp?). That's a PIMPING movie ;D))

(S'okay. Some of my classmates saw that and they didn't like it.)
The twins traded a look and spoke in unison. "Nah!"
Sol continued. "I still haven't seen you eat anything. There's fruits, veges, herbs, and spices in my bag if you want them."
"And besides, we're looking for a little high speed fun. It's been a while since we've had to chase a meal." Somnus said as they shifted into their dragon forms.

Ryhe looked to Sol, "Just because you dinna see me, dinna mean I dinna." He chuckled at his slurring. He put his glasses on, "You two have fun." And he looked back to his book.

"Yeah, well, don't starve yourself on our account." Sol said and began to walk off into the forest.
"Heh, we've done pretty good on our own for quite a few years." Somnus added with a chuckle as he followed his brother.
"I've done good. You've been getting into trouble."
Somnus sighed and looked up at nothing. "Sad, but true. Guilty!"
"Race you. Bye Ry!"
Somnus and Sol roared and raced off through the forest.

Ryhe waved after them, "Be careful, boy-os." The bandit went back to his book. After a while, Ryhe began feeling faint, he thought it was the sun getting to him. He put the book away and laid back, thinking sleep will get rid of it. His eyes fluttered and he passed out.

The brothers raced through the forest, scaring all of the animals into their homes or into places to hide. They ran right into a herd of deer and drastically reduced their numbers. The twins ate quickly, swallowing everything whole. Somnus went and found a nice, shady spot to take a nap.
Sol headed back to camp. He growled when he saw that Ryhe had passed out. Sol shifted and ran over to Ryhe. He poked his shoulder and then shook it, calling his name.

Ryhe opened his eye and blinked at Sol. He sat up and rubbed his eyes tiredly, "Hey, Sol... you caught me in a nap. Nice hunt?" He grinned.

Sol frowned and gave Ryhe a measuring look. "You know, going without food causes your blood sugar to become dangerously low. That leads to blackouts, seizures, and comas. It can also cause brain damage. Are you sure you've eaten something today?"

"Yeah, I know." He rubbed his neck and yawned, "I had some...thing a while ago." He looked around, "Where did Somus head off to? Is he okay?"

"He's taking a nap." Sol replied and moved to a more comfortable sitting position. "Nothing will mess with him if it knows better and even if it doesn't, it will remain cautious of him. You be careful."

"I will." Ryhe smiled. The elf stood and walked over to the skins. He leaned on the tree tiredly and felt them, the fur was dry as was the skin. He sighed and headed back to Sol. He picked up a small piece of meat and took a bite from it.

"Better," Sol muttered. "Nothing like having to revive you if you die on me." He said teasingly.

Ryhe chuckled and swallowed his bite. Before he took another bite, he said, "You donna have to worry about me dieing. Teran's durability is quite legendary." He laughed a bit and bite into the meat.

Sol laughed and looked over at Ryhe. "I'll bet it is. Too bad Som and I can't inherit some of that, but we're pretty durable ourselves. Som just needs a few more brain cells."
