#/ she's just sad (and cietan reminds her of her baby brother)

[missallanea-a]

@championsofthegate : i'm free now, and i'm never going back. (Cietan @ Yilna maybe?)

Black eyes stare blankly back, her expression as difficult to read as it ever was. She does not know his story, not truly, but there was some mistaken belief that being of the same kind meant they must share some kinship. In truth, he reminded her of Rytri, despite the fact that they were near the same age. Was he just as loyal as her brothers?

He said he would never go back, and her heart ached. How she would have, in those first days in this unfamiliar place, if she'd had the chance. How she had pleaded and screamed and begged to stay.

"...how wonderful for you."

There is vitriol in her words, however misaimed. Eyes shut for a long moment, breathing careful and controlled as she paces, long arches back and forth across the clearing they've found themselves in. The blade in her hand spins aimlessly, more to occupy her hands than in any attempt at seeming threatening. Finally, she stills, and breathes a more forceful exhale before turning her gaze back to his own.

"...Truly. I am happy for you, brother."
