indifference

He wasn’t sure what to make of Theta’s assessment of his sister, she didn’t often wear a smile around him. Noir made sure of that. The only one he didn’t like to see frown was Verse. She reminded him too much of their mom. Though he hated Tana for leaving him, he knew he had to be there for his tiny sister. Not that he didn’t tease her, but he was the only one allowed to do that. Theta’s follow up question made him hesitate, but he tried to hide it from her puppy perception.

”Yeah, Motif and Poem both.” He didn’t know if she’d met Motif.. or even his littermates. However he used her name and continued with his bold faced lie. ”I beat both of them.” He said it smugly as he rewrote the memories in his brain. He would have won against Motif had Poem not interfered, and he would have won against Poem had she not been a big cheater. Noir made sure to make heavy eye contact with Theta when he said it, he always knew his father was serious when he did that. He wanted Theta to know he was serious too.
