Ghosts From the Past

Fighting was not her forté. That had always been obvious, but despite her disinterest in it, that didn't mean Jendai couldn't be interested in it. It didn't excite her, no - if anything, it made her feel a bit of concern, but in all truthfulness she would likely be concerned for her siblings no matter what path they chose for their lives. By nature, Ara was a caregiver, and the surge of empathy that washed over her was far from something new, as she gazed upon Jendai's face. She noted a bit of surprise, and concern, in Jendai's face at the mention of Steel and their parents. "I wish I knew where Faolan was," she admitted gently. "Though I've seen Mercury recently and he was doing well." He reminded her so much of their father - quiet, and independent. She had never been terribly close to him, and it wasn't at all strange that he liked to keep to himself. She'd been training, she said. "Wow," she said with a soft laugh, as she could imagine just that - Jendai walking up to a stranger and demanding a fight. Sounded like her fiery sister. "I'm happy for you." She really was, if Jendai was happy, and she hadn't seen her look quite so well in some time, minus her scarred face. But that was more of an afterthought, rather than a real problem. Despite this, there was one thing she figured she ought to tell Jendai. Slowly she would settle to her haunches, gaze shifting for a moment as she thought over how she might tell her this. "Jendai," she started quietly, lifting her gaze to meet her sister's again after a moment. "I don't really know how to say it, but.. when I met up with Steel, he told me-" briefly she felt her breath catch in her throats, the words struggling to leave her. "-mom and dad.. they passed away awhile ago. That's what Steel said." It hurt, and her pain was audible in her voice; though she watched Jendai to see how she might react to the news. |
