in between the light and the dark

Riva mostly seemed to ignore him, she restated her name and generally kept her eyes from him. Her soft blue ones contrasted heavily with the harsh ruby eyes he sported. He ignored being ignored as Eris pressed in closer to him. His gaze remained on the spitting image of his mother as her eyes darted to their paws. What was the emotion he saw in her eyes? He was feeling a little like victory, but then Eris… Eris invited Riva to stay. Even worse she offered his sister a chance at redressing his wounds.

He wanted to offer Eris a stern look, but he knew she wouldn’t see it anyway. He sighed heavily in response, she knew how he felt about his family. Being at the mercy of someone who looked so much like Nysa.. "Isn’t it getting a bit dark? Shouldn’t it be the other way around?" He was mostly saying it so that he didn’t have to be fully subjected to Riva’s administrations. If he could get Eris to go through it tonight maybe he could continue to dodge Riva’s touch.
