I hear you've been sad

At her father's words, Aslatiel bristled, the thicker fur of her ruff lifting. She wasn't angry at Satira. Not in the slightest. She tried so, so hard to keep her negative emotions away from her children. Sometimes at night, she did cry. She cried for time and relationships lost. She cried from the loneliness that ached within her chest like a chasm. She cried because she simply couldn't help herself. It was better to cry at night while the children slept so that she could be whole and happy during the day.

"I'm fine," she stated again. "No one needs to worry about me. I handle my own." And she did. Aslatiel relied on no one and the older she got, the more true that became. Not her father. Not Indigo. No one. Even if she did open up, Sirius wouldn't be able to understand her feelings. Not when he'd crushed them when she and Indigo were children. "Talk about something else." She didn't want to talk about emotions, so she wouldn't. The joys of being an adult. You didn't have to obey your parents anymore.
