The weight of her brothers head resting over the curve of her small back makes her feel at ease with her family, bundled close to them all. The corners of her lips curve up into a smile without her even realizing how happy her heart has become with these people. Some nights, she even forgets the mysterious woman who kissed her face and walked away. There are no questions or fears on those nights, only Kensa and her brother when she drifts off to pleasant dreams. This has become a place that no longer imitates home but is home for her.
When her mother mentions mysterious strangers, her eyes grow wide like Kelynen’s but there is something wild behind her eyes. Her father’s fearless heart beats in her chest and faces every challenge with the same unyielding bravery. Whatever mysterious is, she wants it and so much more. Risk glances back at him when he concurs with her words and she smiles wider still. He is always quick to agree with her and it makes life flow so smoothly to know he always has her back.
But she sees the fear creeping over his sweet face and so, when he moves up closer to her, she gently bumps her nose to his cheek. She will protect him from any strangers or those who would wish him harm. When he returns her bump, a bright giggle comes bubbling from her as she looks back to Kensa. Exploring in Hyaline? Mysteries here, in their very own home? Her eyes glimmer with that dangerous animal pacing within her once more. Risk turns her black and copper head toward Kelynen with mischief tucked into her smile.
“What do you think? Should we play tag while we explore?”
But before he can reply, she lightly nips his shoulder and takes off running, kicking up tufts of grass in her wake.
