This damned place seemed an awful place to visit, let alone to live -- though she knew so much of what had once kept her in the north was all but gone now. Even still, the colder temperatures of the north were far more pleasant to her and she eyed Kyarst for a long moment with confusion in her gaze. Even if she might pretend not to care for him quite as much as she did, it was obvious he meant a great deal to her if she had traveled so far just to find him. Her posture stiffened a bit as he turned to her, seeming surprised and initially quite furious. "And doesn't it feel fucking great?" came her own quick and scathing remark, a bit of bitterness audible in her tones. Though his sharp words stung deeply, she tried to maintain some semblance of composure as she took a few bold steps closer. Her own tail curled above her back, unwilling to back down to him, despite his quite visible rage. "The great Armada family, splintered like limbs from an old tree." A snort would sound as she shook her head. Was this all that was left of them? Still she wondered where her other siblings had gone, for she had found no signs of them in the north before she had traveled down to find Kyarst. "I couldn't handle it," Lysis would admit after a moment, eyes narrowing as she dodged him slightly, pulling away and letting her ears flatten against her skull. "My own littermate, abandoning me, forming a life with Roman without even thinking of me. I just couldn't imagine staying with them, in Regium, though imagining being without you was what drove me to leave." There was nowhere else for her to go, though; perhaps that was why she'd been so unsure of what to do. It seemed stupid -- to leave someone for fear of losing them -- but it was what she had done, and she stared at him tentatively, waiting for the further rage that she was certain would come. "Though I've come back now, haven't I?" |
