Ren, as usual, had not bothered to knock before he barged into Jove's room.
"Hey, Freckles, up and at 'em, I'm bored and I wanna play."

The frown on the little foxfire's face was sleepy, and more grumpy than confused. Up and at 'em indeed. The poofs on his bed scattered as Ren burst in, leaving him all alone, squinty and disgruntled in the center of his blankets. They all yapped happily about the gryphon's feet. Traitors. Had they stayed in the pile around him perhaps his brother would have assumed he was out and left him to sleep.

Ren gathered up several of the foxfires, carted them over to Jove, and promptly tossed them onto his little brother.
"Come on, up up! There's things to do, games to play, brothers to entertain!"

The pup frowned at the downpour of his dumb little companions. They just bounced and barked and wiggled their way right back to Ren's feet, the perfect image of what a happy-go-lucky foxfire should be like. Jove was not that foxfire. Instead, he made a grumbling noise, and stretched out a tendril of ghostly essence to halt Ren in his tracks. If it weren't for that little "hand" on his brother's chest, he knew exactly what the gryphon would do. Ren would sit down on the bed next to him, scoop him up, and maybe toss him in the air. Jove would rather stay where he was, the foxfires had made it warm and cosy.

One of Jove's ghostly hands reached out and prodded him in the chest as Ren was doing exactly what Jove had anticipated he would do - namely sneak towards him, grab him, and throw him up in the air.
Way to stop his fun, Jove.
Pouting Ren was pouting. He poked at the ghostly hand.
"Say, what else can these things do?"

Jove didn't appear to move an inch, or even acknowledge Ren's question. Except for his invisible tendril pinching Ren's nose.

"OW RUDE JOVE RUDE."
Several moments later Ren managed to wrestle the hand away from his face. Rubbing his nose indignantly, he shuffled closer to the bed and peered down over Jove, his nose an inch away from Jove's.
"Wakey wakey."

Jove made a muttering noise from somewhere inside his fluffy body, and resisted the urge to use a whole handful of tendrils to shove Ren's face away from his own. Instead he used them to move his own curled-up body from the center of the bed, to a darker, less warm spot under his big plush pillow. Today Ren was welcome to nap on his bed, but it was clear Jove was not in the mood for entertaining.

Ren pouted more.
Then he pushed himself into the bed too, snuggled beneath the covers, and basically wrapped himself around Jove like an octopus.
"Joooveeeee," he whined. "I'm boooored."

Jove made another little grumbling noise, along with something that sounded a bit like "LW". Ren was always doing things with his ghoulfriend, why not on the one day the pup just wanted to sleep in? The gryphon's timing was awful!

"My name is Ren, not LW," said Ren with a deadpan expression. But then he grinned, burying his face into Jove's hair affectionately.
"LW's sleeping. Come on, wakey wakey and play with meeee. I never get to see you anymore! Come on, I'll take you flying!"

Jove's ears struggled to perk under the thick pillow, and he squirmed around until his dark nose was once again an inch away from his brother's. Blue eyes were open wide. They could go flying? Today?
The pup could still remember that feeling, being up so high with the air streaming through his hair... Tugging at his ears... He could only imagine how amazing it would feel in his current form, now that he could hold on without real hands!

He smelled that interest, Jove.
Ren leaned closer (if that was even possible) and poked his nose into Jove's cheek happily.
"Come onnnn you know you want toooo..."

He did want to! He really did!
In a flurry of activity, the pup bounded out from under the pillow and ran, claws scrabbling against the hardwood floor, towards the door. He darted to one side as it appeared to open of it's own volition, and then ran down the hall. They were going to go flying! Ren was gonna go take him up into the air, and they were going to fly!
If the gryphon ever caught up, he would find the little foxfire already outside and waiting with a complete lack of composure.

Ten seconds later they were both outside, Ren having cheated by flying down the hall instead of walking.
He didn't even pause, just reached down and grabbed Jove, swooping off into the sky.
