AURIEL the good twin For a moment, I relaxed. I forgot about the shit storm brewing, and smiled at Edgar when he looked my way. I stepped closer to Shida, to Princess, blowing a smoky exhale in his direction. A twinge of jealousy flickered within me, churning my stomach, and making my heart grow heavy. I want one. But I had to suppress it, for my own sake. I flicked an ear to Shida, smirking at her remark. She almost sounded angry, but I wouldn't blame her if she was. I was disappointed in myself, too, sis. Living with Mom was, in a way that it shouldn't be, traitorous to her. But she was the one with the grudge, I was just trying to get my shit together. It was made relatively easy here, lots of time alone and a job I didn't have to think too hard about. Regardless, I had to say something that sounded normal. I stepped up to her side, my smirk growing stronger, my momentary lapse in my facade patched. Everything is fine. "Oh, in your dreams," I teased back at last, a smoky plum following my words, dangerously close to getting in her face. My heart sank, then, at my mother's words. Her apology, her admitting who Shida was really raised by. I flicked my ears backwards, pale amber eyes turning to Shida for, I don't know, support? I didn't know what to do, to say. Elsa didn't seem to be doing so well, but fuck if I knew what to do about it. I guess make it less awkward? I could say nothing, but that might be just as risky. I was gonna say something. And it was going to be great. But I didn't know what it was yet. I knew what I had to do, but not how to do it. I was silenced once again, my mind blanked, appalled by the seriousness of what I wanted to be casual, and looking awkwardly between the only family I had. auri goes umm tf @Shida @Elsa |
She is far away. She...she is far, far away from me.
