chicoon 274 name: Icarus
chicoon 275 name: Samson
what is their relationship like? Icarus and Samson started out feuding. Icarus was adopted at a shelter as a senior pet while Samson was from a breeder who specialized in breeding for showy markings and bright colors. Samson was always kind of the favored one since he is big, friendly, and playful. Samson always seemed to get the best there was to offer, from car rides to park days to treats and cuddles. Icarus has always felt left out and blames his friend just a little bit. He felt resentful, not quite okay with their differences. Samson was very vocal and loud, which really got on meek and mild Icarus’s nerves but Ic tried to keep the peace. Their conversations were usually very terse and brief (at least on Icarus’s side). Samson saw his friend as a bit of a killjoy, never wanting to play or go anywhere. But Samson never quite saw the signs that Icarus was a lot older than him.
When the two were left behind after their family moved, they were all each other had. Samson tried his best to keep their spirits up, and while Icarus’s poor health was a bit of a drag for the both of them, they struggled to find food and basic necessities. It wasn’t until Icarus realized all the days Samson would go hungry to make sure he had enough that he realized his friend cared so deeply about him.
That selflessness was proved to its full extent when Icarus was trying to help forage for figs and made a misstep, falling onto a rock and breaking his leg. Samson dug his old friend a den and went to go find some sort of help. Since the two had been living on the outskirts of town, it was hard to find anyone, but eventually he came across some hikers and was able to get their attention. Whenever they’d get closer, he’d bound a little further until he finally led them back to Icarus. Finally, when they were there, they decided to walk away. Samson didn’t understand. He had never been the brightest of his kind but this time he really didn’t understand. Why were they walking away? He laid down, exhausted. He awoke later to the sharp noise of a car. Blinding lights. He wasn’t sure what was going on. These weren’t the same people from earlier. They lifted the two of them into the car. Even with the warmth of that summer night, Samson still found himself shivering with nerves. When the car stopped, Icarus was taken away from him and he found himself left alone without his friend in a kennel. It was cold without Ic, and as snappy as Ic could be, he was the best friend he’d ever known. After he thought hope was lost, his friend was returned to him a day later, albeit with his leg in a cast! The friends would be together till the end, happily living out their lives at the sanctuary!
