The two bantered as naturally as if they’d been doing it all their lives. For instance, even as he sidestepped the bolt shot toward his rump, he was grinning. <b>“All right, all right,”</b> he chuckled wryly, <b>“My big sister’s not to be messed with – got it.”</b> Besides their mutual teasing, there was something like pride in Leander’s tone. Perhaps it was admiration. To him, Rhy seemed so fiercely alive – and he found he couldn’t fathom how her life had ever been snuffed out in the first place.
All of this and more would remain with him until his own life came to an end, but until then it would be the laughter they shared that Lee would look back on the most in the days, months, and years to come. The sound of it contained everything that could have been – a dream he had dreamed all his life that would forever remain an impossible reality – for theirs was a family that had been apart more often than together. It was a fact that would always ache, deep within the marrow of his very bones. Yet he already knew he would treasure this – he would treasure being here, laughing with Rhy.
He listened to her story with avid interest, soaking it all in, trying to process everything she told him as best he could. And when she explained that she could travel between this life and the next, that she would try to visit him, the smile that broke across his face was wider than ever. <b>“And here I was, thinking I’d never see you again.”</b> His eyes blurred a little, his emotion apparent within their brown depths. <B>“I can’t tell you how much that would mean to me.”</b> They had both experienced Kora’s cold shoulder firsthand, but there was an ease between Leander and Rhy that felt as comfortable and familiar as looking in a mirror. Blinking away his tears once more, Lee bumped his sister’s shoulder in wordless camaraderie as she took up her tale once more.
The overo stallion’s expression shifted between incredulity and shock as Rhy’s story neared its conclusion. <b>“I’m so sorry for everything that happened to you,”</b> he murmured with feeling, knowing he couldn’t fully comprehend the extent of the confusion, heartbreak, and tragedy that must have resulted from all the twists and turns she described. More than anything, he wished that he’d had a chance to be there – in another life, they could have been there for each other. But in the end it was a look of determination that etched itself across his pure-hearted features. <b>“I’ll find her, Rhy. I promise.”</b> Lee was so focused on the fact that he had another niece out there, he hardly heard the cryptic remark embedded in his electric sister’s words. He grinned, adding rather cheekily, <b>“I’ve been known to be infuriatingly relentless when it comes to family.”</B>
All too soon, the shadows began swirling about them once more. Instinctively Lee rushed forward to wrap Rhy in a strong brotherly embrace. <b>“I’m so glad to have met you,”</b> he managed fiercely, pressing his eyes closed and breathing in her warmth, even as he felt the substance and weight of her fading against him. <b>“Don’t be a stranger, okay?”</b>
<b>“And tell mom and dad –”</b> but he didn’t need to finish the sentence.
He knew his sister would tell them everything he couldn’t.
