There is my mind, there is my heart.
The sight of the twins conflict her. A part of her wants to smile at the familiarity, and another part flinches because of that familiarity. They are both endearing and horrifying. A great memory and a slap in the face. That what she could’ve had and what she lost.
But they – especially the lavender girl – don’t give her a chance to get lost in her sorrow. She rushes past her green brother, both racing towards their father in favour of his attention. Kylin smiles slightly at the sight of Klaudius interacting with his children, and she regrets speaking up as the girl breaks free from him.
Who was she to destroy their family moment?
Not that Karat seems to mind. The girl does not stop talking once she starts, and a whole bunch of information washes over Kylin. Karat accepts her presence fully and only seems glad to welcome her into the moment. The lavender woman tries to keep up, her lips twitching into a small smile as she lightly nods her head.
Hazel eyes follow to look at the colt’s hooves, a sight that has her frozen. ”Ferrum..” Just like Father. Kylin does not realise she’d spoken out loud, only staring as Karat continues babbling. The thing is, she does know what is happening to Kromium, and it only reminds her to one another that had left her behind.
Again, Karat effectively pulls her from those thoughts. The girl’s question make Kylin look up, and although she only blinks her eyes a bit confused at first, she does answer. ”K-Kylin..” her voice hoarser due to the sudden lump in her throat than she likes. ”My name is Kylin.”
Then her gaze moves to Klaudius, insecurity shining through them. Yes, she’s more than happy to meet the twins, to get to know this other family she has, but at the same time does she not know what she is to them. Or what Klaudius wants her to be. And, most of all, how to behave around them.
