Locked in sleep among his siblings the boy Sabre twitched restlessly amid formless dreams, only to be awoken harshly as he was rolled away by his mother's sudden lunge for the entrance to the door. He shook himself, disgruntled, but his mother's words held an undeniable interest. Let's go... where? Outside? He held himself absolutely still for a moment, but it was not indecision that kept him there so much as a conflict between the habit of absolutely not being allowed outside, and the habit of absolute obedience to the woman who'd birthed him. This frozen state lasted only a heartbeat, before he broke free and followed Daegmar's example to emerge into sunlight... something he'd only seen from a distance and something his dual-hued eyes had never had to cope with before. He sat stiffly before his mother, refusing to flinch and squint though the light hurt him, but the more he ignored it the better it got as his eyes adjusted on their own. |
