Lingering Storm Clouds

Briar nodded in agreement when Artorias told her that he needed some air. Sometimes it was just good to change up your surroundings, even if it was just to another part of the castle as it was in this case. She began to climb the stairs up to one of her favorite places in the castle, staying at Artorias' side and walking in time with him. It still kind of surprised her how comfortable she felt when she was beside him and was really thankful that she had found a friend in the Carpathius boy. Well... that was until he questioned her about her middle name.

She shot him a glare as they continued to climb, feeling a warm blush come over her cheeks. "Yeah... So what?" she challenged with a huff and a toss of her head. Her father's obsession with her mother truly knew no bounds and had clearly found a compromise in her name when Zee rightfully refused to let him name any of them after her. Briar sighed with a little shake of her head, adding, "Dad is ridiculous when it comes to my mom. I'm pretty sure all of us would have just been named Zee if he had his way."

It did make her curious though... She turned her gaze toward him then nudging his shoulder with her own. "What's yours then?"
