What are Sisters For?

Taly was the one sibling in the family who wasn’t interested in fighting but she always seemed to have a big heart.  She was worried about him and, instead of asking around their siblings where he’d have to keep his pride in check, she’d found a spot where they were alone.  What a great sister he had.

“Here I am,” Thorn replied with a grin, “and here I’d wondered if you’d changed your mind and come to start training also,” the words were said in light jest, confident Taly would keep to other studies.  “It’s alright, at least it's healing up.”  Thorn rolled his eyes up as if he could try to get a good look at the ear but it was a hard spot to get a good view of. “It’s sore and, it itches but that’s supposed to mean it's healing I think.”

Thorn imagined if he was going to be a warrior then he should expect injuries to happen though, hopefully never again from family.  Really, Thorn wondered if Dusk was the one who came away with the bigger injury, just not the physical sort.  That wasn’t for him to speak of though, let Dusk decide who she wanted to open up to.  “I’m going to be a great warrior someday so, I can’t let a little thing like this bother me.”  A tip of his ear was gone but, it could have been much worse. “Don’t worry Taly, I’m tough!”
