Another Day

She did hum in a quiet chuckle as he put her family name on her. It wasn’t that she was ashamed or didn’t feel worthy or anything like that of the Carpathian name, she had just spent so much time outside the castle and her family. It was like old habits had to die hard. Her own name was difficult to remember to give in introduction.

She could admit only to herself she felt a little embarrassed that he could remember her and she couldn’t remember him. Not that she really showed that emotion clear. "Oh, sorry. A lot has happened since then." She had always stuck more to herself anyway so her time around the Fatalis children wasn’t that strong in her memory to be honest. But him bringing it up did make the memory stick out somewhere.

His strong feelings for his own family now intertwined with hers was a little admirable. Ways she had never thought to look at family ties and bloodlines. "I can agree." Seeing promising and strong futures for her brother’s children was easy. She didn’t think her situation had been necessarily normal. She’d probably be a little protective in her own ways while they were still young. She had never been much on the fighting side, and that’s where her vulnerability was when it came down to it. Artorias’ kids seemed to be a little tougher. "Oh, I’ve just been giving them some space. I know it’s a busy time for them as parents."

"Do you have your own? Uh, pack that is. Not kids." Though he may have considering Briar was his age. "I know Sirius still has The Armada."
