I somehow manage to not laugh at a not shiny Kerberos. I could only imagine how he might have been when the world changed. I do however laugh when she tells me how he got smacked with the shiny. Kerberos was unimaginable sometimes. Hitting on a fairy, hmm? I would have to ask him about that story the next time I saw him. I’m sure he would have all kinds of wonderful add-ons.
Gods, what a moron.
I pretend I don’t hear that overly affectionate tone in my head as I say that.
“Yes, I did. However, I didn’t much care for the animal that I changed into. So that means I didn’t use it a whole lot. It was all a little bit too girly for me.” A small shrug of my shoulders, my wing raising up along her back briefly before settling back over and cuddling her back close to my side. “I used to be able to change into a swan. Beautiful birds, but not one I was especially fond of. I always hoped I could change into something with claws.” I grin a bit. “Oh, no, that was it for me.”
I can see the stubborn glint in her eyes and I don’t miss the way that she changes the topic. I sigh softly, my eyes telling her she wasn’t fooling me at all. So I tell her one of the more generic things. No, not really generic, but it…it wasn’t a secret like what she was hiding. So I tell her things that aren’t really secrets with me either.
“I’m thinking of my family. How much I miss them. How I wonder every day if they are still alive out there somewhere.” My eyes turn from hers to look out over where the mainland hovered on the horizon. I could see the sandbars under the water, the only way on and off the island unless you had wings. “I worry how they faired without the magic.” I sigh softly, finding my thoughts wandering towards Father who I had no doubt had hidden himself away. If he had made it of course.
My golden eyes go back to her and I say nothing, just let her see a bit of that sadness, that confusion, that hurt before I tuck it away. Hiding most of it away and not on my face, that was a trick Father had taught me to keep from getting my heart broken by what other’s saw on my face.
“I really miss my brother.” I say after a small quiet moment.
