I don't know what I expect to find
Tiburtius wasn't happy to see her. It didn't take an idiot to see that. He greeted her with enough warmness as could be expected after the events a little while ago. He hesitated to answer her question, settling lazily on the ground and staring at her like she had grown another head, or asked him what babies tasted like. Slowly, he formed a response. Things were shitty. Who would expect any different? She sighed, frowning with as much sympathy as she could. It must be hell for Ama and Athena back home, having to deal with what Bacc had done. It wasn't a very bad thing, in her eyes. She didn't have any real family, she didn't know what it meant to challenge one of them for their home. It seemed a little crazy, how angry everyone was reacting to Bacchus now. Sure, it had been a little out of the blue, and slightly out of character for Bacchus as she had previously known him. But he was different now. Something had happened to him when they'd been separated, and she was still figuring out how they fit together after it. They were still best friends, but Bacc was hanging out with a lot of girls, and she didn't like having to share him with other people that weren't related to him. However, she wasn't about to shout at him for it. She wanted to shout at the other girls instead. Her thoughts slammed to a halt when Tibby asked her how they were doing. She drew a breath in between her teeth, mismatched brows drawing together as her odd eyes looked to the ground. Her own rear dropped heavily onto the leaf litter, tail wrapping loosely around her hip. "Bacc is alright, recovering and all that." Southern accent mumbled, shrugging lightly. "I'm the same as always, I guess. A little worried about where we stand with everyone now. I don't really know how families work, you know?" She glanced up at him, sheepish expression all she could offer. "I mean, I had you guys when I was little, but it's not really the same, you know? That's why we left, kinda- to see if my sister was out there somewhere." She sighed, her frown returning in earnest. Millicent hadn't been found, and she'd lost Bacchus in the south. It had been a disaster, and nothing good had come from that trip, really. Shit, someone had claimed her home! "But anyway, it's going to take a while for everything to cool down, it looks like." She muttered, shaking her head lightly. It was crazy in the Armada family right now, and there was no telling what was going to happen in the next little while. She glanced up to try and read Tibutrius' expression, see how he was reacting to that little information dump. |
