As the leopard came to stand beside Armai, Zola would finally notice the creature and kind of pull her head back away from it, not entirely sure if she should be frightened or not. "Oh... Literally what the cat drug in..." She mumbled as she relaxed her shoulders again.
"Come on Armai," She longingly teased, "We all know dad was irresistible. Why on earth would you want to leave the man that kept you alive to begin with? He's the only reason you actually survived." She was partly referring to the fact that her sister was blind. But in a cruel way, Lel really did love his children. They were his blood and he intended to mold them into whatever he thought would be best for his line. Unfortunately, he was too busy with the woman who bared Armai and Calder and that led Zola and Lian astray from his teachings. Jian being sick didn't help this either. Zola was always terrified that one day she would have been the woman bound in that ship with a mental tie to her father that forced her to stay. And back then, Lian was too young and weak to fight for her. So they took the chance to run and she seemed to be the only one who made it. "I bet you didn't even make it outside that ship by yourself."
"Hmm..." She hummed thinking of whatever else she felt more obligated to say now that they were both grown and had matured so much since they lived together in that ship, "Well actually, me and Lian were his only real children." she smirked, "He probably saw you wandering off and didn't even care."
