Let the Love Shine In

It felt awful that he hadn't fought. Even as Harmony began to speak, he was briefly distracted - his father had believed in him, and he had sat back and done nothing. It wasn't because he'd been afraid, but the enemy had been outnumbered. Still, he felt like he'd somehow let him down. A soft huff left his lips as he brought his gaze back to Harmony, listening to her words. He didn't really know what she was talking about in particular. He hadn't caused an uproar at the meeting. Perhaps his face had shown how frustrated he was, but he'd mostly kept to himself, speaking to Shrike and his father to ask his permission to leave. A lot of the name-calling, in his opinion, had been warranted... for any of them to imply his father had been thinking selfishly was absolutely idiotic. He frowned at Harmony, though considered her words. Trust was what they needed. He trusted some of them.. many more than others. There were two outside of his own family that he trusted quite a bit - Tinaro and Calypsei. But even his relationships with those two were nothing like what Harmony spoke of. Unbreakable, no matter what? He could've laughed, and his brows furrowed together at how optimistic she sounded. Finally, she instructed them to stand together. He was happy to stand with Sparrow - but Lillianna? He watched with a cool stare as she padded toward him. His attention shifted to the female he didn't know, offering a slight nod. "Lark," he offered back firmly. Anything to get him to not stare at Lillianna. This wasn't the time to fight.. Harmony had made that perfectly clear. He couldn't help but hear Lillie's question, though he wished he had ignored it. What did his words mean? "It means - go fuck yourself," he'd whisper under his breath, moving to press against Sparrow. Lark welcomed his sister's touch, grateful now that no lasting harm had befallen his siblings and Abaven. |
