With every word that fell off her tongue her brother seemed to glare at her harder, his lips beginning to raise in anger. She hoped that he wouldn't go babbling to their parents or even to his little lady friend, Meili. No one needed to know, this was a private conversation. She didn't want her family to know, outside of Gael. Collision would bring down his mighty paw and Soleil would likely be horrified to know what her eldest daughter had almost done. In the end, Azalea had done nothing wrong. She was a growing young lady and males were beginning to think of her less as a child.

She sighed, hanging her head heavily. "We may be of the same blood, but we are of different minds about things. I'm more of a... free spirit and you're more grounded. I adore Valhalla." Her voice was calm, more logical now. Speech, |
