Snippet #1944927

Husky and Cooro remained standing at the door, hesitating in their decision to enter the residence. Husky had since put away the flyer, tucking the vibrant paper back into a pocket. Frowning for a moment as he tugged Cooro fully into the room, Husky smiled as he turned to look at the other people. Cooro, however, remained standing half-behind her brother despite his attempts at getting her to not use him as a human shield.

Hearing a girl comment that everyone should introduce themselves, Husky smiled a little wider, happy that someone else brought it up. "My name's Husky." he glanced over his shoulder at Cooro and prodded her with his elbow.
"Cooro." her voice was barely audible, a fact that spurred another prod from Husky.
"My name's Cooro. I'm Husky's twin sister. I'm the cool one. He's just a friendly little Husky puppy." Cooro tried to imagine it was just her and Husky in the room and she ended up speaking like she had outside earlier in the evening; her voice was loud and clear and even accompanied by a small giggle at her end comment.

Squeaking as she realized she'd spoken like she normally would, Cooro moved farther behind Husky, continuing to use him as a shield although she peered over his shoulder. She wasn't really sure how to act around people other than her twin, even though they'd lived at an orphanage with several other children for almost six years. Lost in her own thoughts for a moment, Cooro didn't notice that Husky had sidestepped, leaving her standing next to him. Pausing as she realized what had just happened, Cooro felt a pale flush rise to her cheeks as she realized how exposed she felt now that she wasn't hiding behind her brother.

"It's very nice to meet you Jem, and you too, Randi and Kiri!" Husky's smile was bright and true as he spoke to the three other people that had thus far introduced themselves.
