 She wasn't too sure just what to expect, to be honest... The twins always made her feel slightly uncomfortable, if only because of their sameness. But they were family and she loved hers dearly, even with all their little quirks. When Jani and Kona were in danger... Well, of course she worried. They might have made her uncomfortable from time to time, but they were still flesh and blood and she desperately wished them well.
In fact, she was on her way to see Jani at that precise moment. Anxiously, her little, white ringed paws plucked gingerly across the soft grasses as she approached the shaman's gave, seeking out the sister that remained with him. In her little maw were the last of the flowers that she could root out. One white and one yellow, both plucked tenderly as to not destroy them. It seemed nice, like a sentimental thing to do. Maybe they would help her feel a little better? She hoped so.
She approached the mouth and carefully placed the flowers on the tops of her own paws.
"Janiiii? Can I come in?"

 Frowning Jani looked up, why were people coming to see her so much lately? What was the point of it all? She hated her family, she hated life in general and everything it could stand for so why try to befriend her if she would only end up hating you? Maybe her siblings just didn’t notice her disgust of them? She would have to work harder on that, make sure it was known right out there and then they would have no choice but to cast her aside; then and only then would she be able to come back and fight against these evil wolf like demons that look so much like her family.
Rolling her eyes Jani did her best to push herself to a sitting position, “Yes? Why are you asking?” Jani never understood the ‘asking for permission’ before doing anything, it wasn’t polite in her head it was just plain stupid and time consuming.
“If you must then do so Toki, don’t just wait.”

Toki didn't really know or understand why Jani was the way she was, nor understood how deep her hatred went. She was blissfully oblivious, or maybe she wasn't. It was hard to say, really, why she continued to be so optimistically "unaware" of the darkness welling in this portion of her little family.
What she did know is that she was willing to try her hardest to win her sister's affections and she winced slightly at Jani's clearly nonplussed tone. She did her best to keep a stiff upper lip and a bit of a smile as she scooped up the flowers in her maw and plodded inside on stubby little legs. She dropped the two flowers at Jani's paws and her tail wagged cheerily as she presented them.
"I picked these for you! I thought maybe you would like them, maybe make it a little more cheery. Like bringing a piece of the outside into the inside, y'know?"

Shaking her head Jani laid back down this visit was a waste of her time, why would Toki even let herself believe for a moment that any sort of kindness could seep into her heart? As if she had one, letting out a dry laugh Jani looked away her gazed catching with a stray bug crawling across the floor. Another victim to torture, another being’s life to destroy… Another day, another life crushed beneath Jani’s paws.
“Take the flowers away; they can be put to further use at a later date.” ‘Like put on your grave dump once I rip you to pieces.’ She had to repress her growl as her blood rushed to attack her sister, she was so… In need of a constant.

"Oh..."
She grew silent for a moment, unsure of just how to respond. What did Jani mean, exactly? That was something that bothered her, but she did her best to continue looking cheerful. Hopefully Jani would be well again, soon... And like her old self, too. She pulled the pair of flowers back towards her body gingerly, unsure of just what to do with them, and smiled lightly at her sister, albeit a nervousness was settling into her small bones.
"W-would you l-like for me to put them on y-your side of the den, Jani? For when you get better and dad brings you back? They'll make it all nice and pretty and I'll tell our brothers and sisters n-not to touch them?" Her light, little tail wagged with a slight hopefulness as she asked.

A slight twitch ran through Jani’s body, what did her sibling think she was doing, suggesting such a thing! Jani couldn’t help but growl at the poor young female pup; hopefully it’ll scare the little thing away and leave her alone! She was tired of all this company! Why can’t her family just realize she was better than them and leave her be to her own devices!
But then again maybe this was better? Maybe she would strike fear into her sibling’s heart the old fashioned way, by striking her down with what little strength Jani could muster at this moment. Doing her best to get back into a sitting position Jani loomed over her darker furred sister, “What would ever make you think I would like anything as ugly as those flowers?” Her voice left no more for judgment, so filled with disgust and hatred; where was the line between them?

The small pup's ears flattened and she backed up slightly. She visibly shrank, although she was already slightly on the smaller side, as Jani loomed over her. She was definitely afraid, something that could be seen in her posture and smelled in her scent. Yet there was a diligence to her, as well, a want to be liked. Confused, she lowered herself to the ground slightly.
"B-because t-they're pretty and they s-smell good? S-s-sorry, I c-couldn't f-find any o-o-other colors. It's g-getting too c-cold out." She stammered quietly, glancing down to the two flowers, things she thought were beautiful. Why did Jani see them so differently? She was hardly sure, but she felt a horrible sinking in her gut, as though this was just the surface of her sister's rage. Suddenly, she wanted to be very, very far away.
Safe with Rock.

And still her sister is here!
“They are ugly no matter the color! Just as you are ugly no matter what you say or how you act, you will forever be alone in this world with no one to cling to Toki. Nothing will be the same.” And to Jani that was all that mattered, the fact that her coat would never change the fact that she knew her mind set would never differ, the fact she knew her families’ death would be by her paws.
Yes, those were the things that kept Jani thriving and well, that kept her able to see paste everything she hated and straight into the future of her dreams. One of blood, downfall, and perfect meaning of everything.
Nothing would ever change.

"W-why do you say those things?"
Pain creased her brow as she glanced down to her white ringed paws and the flowers between them. If wolves had the ability to, she probably would have been sobbing. Instead, her small frame seemed to shrink and shudder as she tried to make sense of the harsh words her strange sister was flinging at her. Her tail tucked slightly between her legs and she lowered her head.
"W-why are y-you so angry? I j-just want to make you feel better 'cos you aren't well. Y-you're my sister a-a-and I wanna help you." She whimpered slightly and fought the insanely strong sense to run, as fast as she could, back to the den.

Jani couldn’t help but let out another laugh, this one sharp and deadly curd. Wanting to help her? Befriend her even? Ha! What a laughable excuse to see her, so her family truly was blind it seems at least her siblings were. She could say so many things maybe even hurt her sister physical, scar her permanently for the rest of her life, and make her that same forever.
But no, she was in no condition now to do such things to the little being. They were both young and Jani still had to gain more power to take on her whole family.
“So nice of you Toki.” Disgust filled Jani’s words, “You’re filled with weakness sister, filled to the brim and I’m afraid you won’t have enough more for improvement later in life.”

"It isn't weak to be nice." She said this with sincerity, though she knew within herself that she was hardly a fighter. She wasn't built for it, nor had she the temperament. She was aware of her position within the pecking order of her siblings and wasn't so full of air that she couldn't guess where she would be when she was an adult...
But while she may not have been physically strong, she was quite friendly and optimistic, even in the face of anger and rudeness. She fought to cling to these traits as her sister insulted and berated her.
"Jani... T-talking l-like you are is very unbecoming... W-why are you so angry? I d-don't understand."

Rolling her eyes Jani did her best to stand now, “You don’t have to understand Toki, life isn’t about all knowing it’s about all doing. GO do something go further your life in meaning that is useless just like your siblings.”
“Just like my disgusting siblings.” Spitting Jani’s angry wasn’t holding on much longer, her need to lash out was heightening what could possibly make her calm down? Usually the very fact that her blood was rushing this fast would lighten her mood to the point of passing out but it didn’t seem that way…
Or at least not right now.

"B-but understanding how things work is important, too... Kinda. If you do without knowing, that could be bad." She whined slightly, wincing under her sister's boiling rage. Her gaze continued to remain on her paws as she struggled to understand just what was going on with her life and her siblings. Her mouth moved, as if she was searching for words, but none came for a few moments.
"Just 'cos your different, that don't mean you're any better than us, Jani." She grunted, finally. It was the closest she could bring herself to actually stand up to her sister, but hesitancy could still be read in her timid posture as she spoke. She was growing irritable, almost indignant, but she couldn't really bring herself to speak harshly, at least not at the moment. She focused on those flowers.
They were pretty.
No matter what Jani said.

Jani let out another laugh at her sister’s attempt at wisdom, in her mind nothing could trump what Jani thought of the world how change was bad and how the perfect amount of bloodshed could cure anything. It was better not even to try to reach something as crazy as Jani, but not even Jani knew that… to her everything was horribly misshapen and would be fixed with time, and pain by her paw.
Suddenly hearing her sisters ‘back talk’ Jani’s blood rushed further through her body, her small brain doing its best to figure out a plan of attack but before she could lift a leg to attack her body shut down. The blood rush was too much for the small newly healed being and as a result had shut down to stop any further damage to the brain or body.
Maybe this was for the best?

Toki's little eyes bugged as Jani passed out in front of her. At first, she had looked like she was going to turn on her, to hurt her. But suddenly, she was crumpled in a heap in front of the naturally hued, white ringed pup. Fear washed over her as she nosed her sister's neck and head.
"Jani?"
She was still breathing, just not awake... Maybe that was for the better. She needed her rest, anyways, and this little visit, which had meant to help, seemed to only be hurting, which saddened the young pup. She nosed her once more, but got no response. There was nothing else she could do here.
She scooped up the flowers in her maw and turned to go, leaving Jani in the care of the shaman. She paused as she came to the exit, then turned around. She plodded back to Jani's crumbled frame and dropped the yellow flower in front of her face. Maybe, when she woke up...
Just maybe it would make her feel at least a little bit better.
