tags ✦ ✧ ✦ The temperature began to drop as streaks of purple appeared in the previously clear sky, announcing that the sun would soon disappear beyond the horizon, bringing along the end of another day. It was getting closer to Tam's bedtime. Normally, the pale kit would have been in the Blood House long before this point, already dozing or watching the sunset from the safety of his little family's window. Today, a mood had struck him, and he'd remained out later than usual, refusing to entertain the possibility of heading inside. In fact, he didn't intend to go inside at all—Tam was tired of always having to go to sleep when he was told. Tonight, he would act like an adult, and stay up as late as he wanted!
Of course, staying up late was no fun if you didn't get to do anything, so he'd planned a whole adventure. He was going to sneak off toward the busier part of the city, and observe the twoleg night life. He'd have fun. Still, he lingered outside the Blood House, not quite ready to leave. He didn't want to go alone—it wasn't that he was scared or anything, of course, but adventuring alone was stupid. It was only fun with someone else. Casting a molten gaze around, he alighted almost immediately on Artemis. She liked this sort of thing, didn't she? Ghosting over to his sister, Tam begged, "Artemis, let's sneak away an' go on an adwenture!"
