Show them the joy and the pain and the ending
She is lost in thought when his dark muzzle presses tenderly against her shoulder, distant gaze snapping back to him even as the barest hint of a smile touches her lips. For once she had not been peering at the world through another’s perspective. No, her thoughts had been somewhat more introspective. It is odd for her; she is not one given to such reflections – that is more her brother’s purview than hers – but she had seen things today that had thrown her off-guard, caught her by surprise in such a way that she could do little else but examine it closely.
So it is really no surprise that she is only paying half-attention when Illum asks where they should go. She blinks several times, pale blue gaze finding and locking onto her darker-skinned brother’s brilliant green eyes for a long moment of incomprehension. Then, with an abrupt shake of her head, she grins before stretching out to nip lightly at Illum’s ear. ”Wherever you like, brother,” she says, voice light and seemingly carefree. ”We could see the mountains again.” Her grin turns mischievous as her pale eyes sparkle. ”Or I could show you the Valley. A girl showed me the other day.”
Her jovial mood is lost as quickly as it had come, her own words reminding her of what she had inadvertently stumbled upon so recently. She still isn’t even sure what exactly it was she had seen, but she is certain that it had been nothing good. But she has never before hidden anything from her brother, and this is not something she could fathom keeping from him. With a slight frown marring the perfection of her dark lips, she asks ”Illum, do you think papa was right?” Pause. ”About there being some things I probably shouldn’t see?”
