The twins smiled happily. Somnus pulled the hood of his cloak up as the sun rose. Sol enjoyed the first rays of light, but yawned tiredly. The twins stood up and gave Ryhe a sweeping bow and then sat again.
"Thank you. It will be nice to have a family again." Somnus said and smiled at his brothers.
Sol grunted and stretched out on the ground. "Maybe Ryhe can stomp on you next time you act silly. That way I won't have to."

Ryhe took a breath and grinned, "Aye, that may be fun." He laughed. "It's great to have my own little brothers fer a change. What do ya wanna do now?" His smile was bright. First, he was going to be a father, now he has his own little brothers. This was turning out as a great year.

"Go to sleep." Sol replied and pulled his cloak over his head.
"Hide from the sun." Somnus said and crawled over into the shadows created by the boulders. "That is Sol's element and it hurts me sometimes."

Ryhe frowned at Somus, "Aw, sorry lad." The he looked to Sol, "That's a great idea, we all need some more rest." Ryhe yawned and stretched his arms in the air, then took off his bag and laid down, his head on it.

"I will be fine." Somnus said softly from where he crouched. "I'll keep watch while you two sleep. I still control some elements of my own."

Ryhe rolled onto his chest and folded his arms, setting his chin on them He blinked sleepily at the darker twin, "Ya sure? You still look a bit beat up. In fact, lemme stay up with you." Ryhe sat up.

"I'm sure. You don't need to stay up with me. In truth, I would worry about Sol. He wears himself out and pushes himself harder." Somnus shook his head and looked back at Ryhe. "I suppose that's my fault, but he never really rests."

Ryhe smiled, then crossed his legs and linked his fingers, resting his furry chin on his hands. He looked over to Sol, "Then you and I should make sure he gets his rest, eh?"

Somnus laughed softly. "To do that, you either have to hit him over the head or get him a very comfortable bed." He told Ryhe, chuckling gently.

Ryhe smiled, then looked to Somus, "What about being sat upon?" Ryhe laughed whole heartily. He chuckled a bit, "Seriously, would it work?"

"Nah," Somnus shook his head. "I tried that and my sleep powers once. *shakes head again* It didn't work. He just moved through his light and got away from me. Then I found myself pinned. Sol is immune to my powers, I've found."

Ryhe chuckled, then looked to the boy in question. "Hear that? We're gonna make ya sleep whether you like it or not. Kay?" he grinned, chuckling.

"No," Sol growled and curled up.
Somnus chuckled at his brother. "He's asleep, but if you ask him something, he'll answer you. Sometimes I wonder if he sleeps with one eye open."

Ryhe chuckled and moved a bit to lean on a tree. He closed his eyes, but still talked, " So, tell me about yerself."

(*waves off apology* It happens.)
Somnus looked to his brother and then to Ryhe, his new brother. "What would you like to know? There are plenty of topics about us that we could exhaust. Most of it would be about me 'cause it would be my fault."

Ryhe smiled, "Interests, hobbies, anything. I'd like to better know my little brothers." He placed a hand behind his head and the other on his abs.

"Well, Sol is the scholar. He knows more than I do. He had the patience for learning and trying new things." Somnus said, settling back against the rocks.
"Me, I couldn't sit still for a minute. I always had to be doing something, which was mostly trouble. I didn't learn much of anything until after mom and dad died. I was angry and that was danger because I didn't have much control over my gifts. It was on the road and wandering aimlessly that I learned my gifts and other things. Some things good, others not so good. But Sol always took care of me, even when he could've left."

Ryhe opened his eyes to listen. He was silent, then he smiled, "Well, laddie, there will no need to fret in this land, nor with me around. I'll protect ya from anyone who'll mistreat ya."

"I'm not worried about that, precisely. I'm worried that my brother won't have his own life because he's taking care of me. He's always been that way, even when we were little. If I got stuck in a tree, he'd climb up and get me. If I was having trouble swimming, he'd swim out and save me. If I picked a bad fight, he was there beside me and taking care of most of it." Somnus grinned crookedly. "I was a very bad boy and I still am. I can't stay out of trouble and Sol is still the same. He comes to rescue me everytime."

"Well, then I say we help him out in getting a life, not separated from you, of course. I'm gonna get you two introduced to some girls, and Sol won't have to worry much with me looking after ya as well. You both can relax and mebbe even find a-" Ryhe yawned widely, "-place... here."

Somnus chuckled and watched Ryhe closely. Sleep. His mind whispered. Sleep. Unlike Sol, Somnus didn't need anyone to be willing. He could force them to sleep, but he found playing with their minds more fun.
"He'll worry anyway. He feels it's his duty to look after me." Somnus replied to Ryhe, acting relaxed and innocent. "Sol's only older than me by a few minutes, but it's enough to make him feel old." Somnus shrugged. "That's what he says though."
Sleep.

Ryhe's eyes felt heavy and he yawned, "Yeha..me..meb..mmh." His eyes closed completely and he fought to not fall asleep. But, he failed and his head hung as he snored lightly.

Somnus smirked as watched his new brother fall asleep. That wasn't so hard. He thought and stood to stretch his aching body. Now if only that could work on Sol. Thinking of his brother, he looked at him.
Sol slept in a pool of sunlight beside a dying fire. Somnus looked around and then walked off into the forest to find some wood. He didn't have to go far and was able to keep his brothers in sight. Once he held a suitable collection, he banked the fire up again. Sol was fond of heat and any temperature under 80 degrees was "chilly." Somnus took his dragon form afterwards and settled down in the shadows to keep and eye on his brothers.

Ryhe mumbled and slumped to the side. He curled up his legs and tucked his hands under his mutilated ear. He smiled at a good dream and snored a bit more. He hiccuped and rolled over.

Somnus watched Ryhe for a few minutes and smiled. He lowered his head, lidding his eyes. Dozed until the mid-morning sun hit his nose. He grumbled as he got up and moved off to a different spot. He had just settled down again when Sol sat up long enough to put more wood on the fire and lay down again.
