A valley between us

For the most part Emile tried to be pretty aware, the last thing he wanted was to bump into Bowen while he was out but out of the way out here and with the warmth of the sun lulling him into a sort of calm he had managed to miss his sister's approach her call startled him. Instinct kicked in and he ducked his head so that he was covering the scarred side of his face with his foreleg, looking up at his sister with one forest green eye and then sliding off of her to see if she was alone.

Emile really did not want to be bitter about his sister but he couldn't help but feel it, that gnawing loneliness was only exacerbated by the knowledge that his brother and sister had something he never could. Jane was the only one who like him seemed to have been left behind, missing yet another important milestone in their young lives. Emile was certain he could never have what Lilith and Ezra had found. Emile wasn't someone who could be loved like that. His family he knew felt something they called love for him... But that would be all he'd ever have because it was all he ever deserved. But it hurt, to be reminded by it, and so he hadn't sought out his sister much since she'd found herself trailed by the slate young man. He didn't want to be reminded. But luckily today at least it appeared she was alone.

Hhhhhey, Lil...lith." He managed, burying his face to make sure she couldn't see his scars.
