Once, things had been so simple. Despite the illness that had plagued her early childhood, she remembered things being much more pleasant back then -- though she couldn't help but wonder if her memories had been distorted over time. It was no different than how she herself had changed over the years, growing from a sweet, tender young child to something much more fiery and spontaneous. There was still a pleasant sweetness in her expression, a thinly veiled ruse spread over her delicate features in the form of a cheeky smile as she gazed at her half-brother with burning curiosity. Her own stiff posture slackened, tail twitching as it fell limply behind her lanky form, shoulders drooping ever so slightly. "Then it is settled," she stated matter-of-factly as she slipped forward to recline at the river's edge, leaning down to lap at the water thirstily. It was not ice cold, but significantly cooler than the air, and the liquid felt refreshing as it cascaded down her throat. "I'll stay with you awhile." Honestly, where else would she go? She'd said the same thing last time, though this time she knew with certainty that she didn't want to end up on her own. His words were mysterious, and slowly she would stop her drinking, lapping droplets of water from her snout as she turned to eye him. What family was in this Imperium that he spoke of? "Who's there?" she'd ask eagerly, her words more demanding than a simple inquiry, and she found her tail twitching idly behind her. |
