Why Didn't You Tell Me?

The lounge was easily one of her favorite spots to find some quiet time in. Looking out over the plains, her gaze settled on the rippling, lifeless grass as the winter winds tore through the stalks to the root. While there was no snowfall to be seen, the dreary skies above seemed to be making their empty threat well known- the silver clouds thick and heavy as they sailed out over the ocean in the distance. Her attention to the picturesque window was unwavering, however, her mind was completely absorbed in other places. Something that had since become a force of habit after their birthday celebration, Talyssa lightly pulled away her pendant from her chest, only allowing it to fall back into place as she quietly traveled the space of idea and logic. It wasn’t until a sudden crash at the door, did she break her trance.

Lys immediately spun to face the sudden entrance, with a surprised gasp catching in her throat as she immediately identified her sister Dusk. The look on her face and the edge to her step clearly illustrated that her sister was angry- even more so than her most recent usual. The tawny fae tensed her muscles as she braced for impact. “Dusk, wait-“ She tried to interject but was quickly interrupted by a tight embrace and a question as to why she hadn’t told her siblings about the run-in with Sephiran Saxe. With a gentle sigh, she made an effort to pat her sister’s shoulder. “I didn’t want you to worry.” Or overreact. Talyssa answered softly. Though, she didn’t expect Dusk to take that excuse very well. “Everything is okay, Dad took care of him, and he hasn’t been around since.” She finished, hoping that it would give the other girl at least some satisfaction that the deed didn’t go unpunished.
