She'd been hoping for some time to pull herself together before facing the world at large. Naturally, this was too much to ask. The threatening headache manifested into full blown throbbing as a familiar voice broke through the walls of her pity party.
"I don't remember requesting a pain in the ass," she replied, sniffling negating any kind of venom the words might have held. It was Lowy, after all. There was no telling her twin where to be or not be, she'd make up her own mind and everyone else would have to adjust. The antlered woman envied that sometimes.
She had always struggled with the need to please everyone around her. To be daring enough for her sister, kind enough for her father, brave enough for her mother. She wasn't terribly certain what was left when those things were stripped away. Her twin, on the other hoof, didn't worry about pleasing anyone but herself. Laia was fairly certain Loey sometimes went out of her own way, if it would be an inconvenience to others.
Despite these differences, she adored her twin. They were closer than blood, and she knew the dragon mare wouldn't be here if she didn't care. That did not prevent her from kicking sharply out when she felt the hot breath and sharp teeth of her sister on her rear. That was irony for you.
Her mouth twisted, unfamiliar anger simmering in her chest. "Either play the supportive sister act, or go away, Loey. I'm in no mood for your games. Not today." And like a traitor, a wet hiccup trailed her words.
