Invidie

As Briar moved to the side of Artorias' bed, Bowen could see the tears in the fae's eyes. She understood the anguish that the girl had when seeing Art like that. For Briar's benefit, Bowen looked away, letting her deal with her own grief without prying eyes. She didn't hate Briar by any means. Bo simply couldn't come to terms with her own feelings. She'd never felt jealousy before. Never had a reason to feel jealous. None of this was Briar's fault at all. This was all on Bowen.

Art's raspy voice instantly pulled Bowen's eyes upwards though her caramel ears flattened slightly as she realized that he was speaking to Briar. And why not? That was his girlfriend. His woman. Bowen was just his sister. Art's words brought a soft huff from Bowen and she gave her head a shake. "Just tired. You're a full time job, Art." Her tone was joking, but there was truth to it. She'd been tending to him nonstop. He was her priority. But she supposed, now that his girlfriend was here...

Clearing her throat, Bowen rose to her paws. "I suppose I'll leave you two alone." Before she turned, Bowen's verdant gaze alighted on her brother's face one more time. A curtain of sadness fell over her as she turned and began to move from the room. This would be the first time that she'd really been apart from Artorias since she'd found him on the beach. Already she felt his absence deeply.
