ISRAFEL
Israfel’s response to Reave’s quip is a quiet sob, her panic continuing to grow. Her golden eyes are focused on where the scattered remains of the bird have fallen and she jumps slightly when Reave reaches out to touch her, brushing some of those remains off of her neck. But then her guilt over jumping seeps into the panic and it helps to ground her a little more. It had only been because she was so focused on what she had done and not anything to do with him.
She had done that, hadn’t she? This was something she was capable of?
Her invisible head turns to watch him as he moves forwards into the cave - finding it much easier and vastly preferable to focus on his glowing form than anything else around them at that moment.
Until he turns to look at her and says something that chills her. She steps forward, filled with equal parts dread and curiosity until she can see the shell of the egg and then she stops, bumping her shoulder against Reave’s hip.
“I killed… a mom??” Comes her strangled question, a voice so soft it would have been lost on the slightest breeze.
She does not have to worry any longer about wanting to stay in this cave forever. She wants nothing more than to get out of here as fast as possible and back into the open sky of Nerine. Her panic begins to rise again but she manages to form some words around it “Can we help it?”
