they can haunt me all they want

Ophie really wasn't in a state for company, so naturally someone just happened to come along. She flinched, nearly toppling over as her eyes widened in comical alarm. She almost wanted it to be a stranger, at least then there was always a chance they'd never meet again, that they'd just write her off as yet another weirdo who roamed the land. But of course it wasn't, it was Aslatiel and the words she had to offer were less than kind. It was just about what Ophie had come to expect from her older, but not bigger, sister. Aside from Mortis her older siblings didn't seem overly interested in Ophie and her lot, that was fine, she'd never force the issue but... It was hard to cling onto the ideals of family when half of them were happy to pretend you didn't exist. She'd never had a one on one conversation with Indigo or Azure, hell she wouldn't have even been surprised if they didn't recall her name. Not that she would really blame them either, it wasn't like she was all that memorable.

"Ah- I'm sorry." Ophie wasn't really sure what she was apologising for, her existence maybe? Beyond that, she just didn't want to get in the way, least of all with someone who clearly had more important things to do than deal with Ophie and her nonsense. "You don't have to, I can.." Can what? It wasn't like she was making much of a difference on her own.

She got to her paws, legs a little wobbly and breathing still uneven.

"It's really good to see you again." She found herself saying, gravely missing the good old days. Whenever they even were.
