Malalia Fatalis
Ah, yes, dreaming of a future in which Aurielle's children would demolish them all, for generations to come. She chuckled good-naturedly at the man's imaginings.
Cairo's admission was indeed true, though hopefully the Warlord never saw a need to break her dear friend. His next statement drew a quiet laugh, remembering her own experience with the winged boy. "Fun" was an interesting word.
Her jaws parted in a yawn. Her ears twitched, picking up a bit of the flurry that raged outside as Cairo shared his thoughts with her, his fears tumbling freely, plainly out. It was a devastating incident for anyone, even someone as optimistic as him. If Boreas hadn't made the advancements it had in medicine, he might very well be dead, instead of sitting in a warm den, talking to her. "Considering the circumstances, I think you have a little room to wallow." Goodness, what a tale to tell. To live through.
He wasn't unrealistic in his doubts, but... "Cai. You're doing everything you need to do. You're patient. You're receiving the best care you can get. So, you're going to be okay. Whole." She smiled lightly, all the faith she had in her friend lending a sense of conviction to her words. "One day you'll look back, and it'll feel like this time passed in the blink of an eye." It's a sentiment she clung to when her own patience was wearing thin. As for the songs, she couldn't wait to hear them. Singing wasn't a regular custom in the Armada, and for once she'd like to listen to a voice other than her own.
And what was on her mind? "Ah, you know. Everything and nothing at all." She gave a little shrug of her own, plopping her head on her paws. "Well, after hearing you talk about all the conflict that came with the Adravendi name, I just had to go and get a last name of my own. Naturally." She rolled her eyes. Cairo was aware by now that Sirius was her father, though Malalia hadn't spoken much about the adoption, or the subsequent fallout.
"I'm pretty sure my now-sister hates me," she sighed. "And one of my... brothers... even before this, our first meeting ended in a fight. He doesn't hate me, exactly. He just doesn't care for anyone, so long as you stay out of his way. But hey," she smiled, "I guess you don't get to choose your family." Old, or new. Azure, certainly, would never have been her first choice for a sibling -- not that she ever imagined she'd gain new ones.
