    Assailant -- Year 226

    QOTY

    "But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura

    The idea that there is a lot her mom hadn’t told her is as uncomfortable as the way her stomach is still twisting after being teleported across Beqanna. But it did sound like Wishbone to protect her, she was really good at that. The truth seemed like a funny thing to be protected from, though, to this young girl that hasn’t yet learned that some truths can hurt.

    He shifts, and her mismatched eyes widen a little further - he certainly looks like her and Malik.

    To his question, she frowns in thought and replies with an uncertain “Well... I guess…” She had thought it was a little weird that their mom hadn’t been able to join them in some of their shifting games, but she had been full of other wonderful tricks - like when she had closed them in that bone cage - so it had been easy to forget. Plus she had Malik, so it hadn’t really been an issue.

    She wishes she had agreed to go get her brother, wishes he was with her now for this. What would he think of their dad?

    Sickle’s decided that this must be the truth, there’s too much evidence backing it up and she does not have the capacity to question too much of it yet. He's an adult, he's telling her something that makes sense, so it must be real. And Gale seems nice, if she’s going to have a dad she’d like a nice one. There are, naturally, still some questions though and she peers back up at him, a little of her unease fading away. “How come you don’t live in Tephra with us?”
