Northstar Vale so the hollow's low on grapefruits.

God he was annoying. All kids were annoying. Liffey was very ready to do a complete 180 on her newfound appreciation for her adopted brother as he spun and snarled at her, barking back retorts with just as irritated a tone as she'd used on him. His commentary didn't illicit a verbal response from her - only a dramatic roll of her eyes as she too turned and walked off in the opposite direction. The comment about her not being really family rolled right off of her. She'd never considered him that before, so it didn't much bother her to hear him call it out. All it did was annoy her further because of how kind she'd felt towards him before this altercation. And now he was throwing it in her face...

Huh... Maybe she did care...

Liffey shook her head, brushing the incident from her mind as she continued exploring the territory. She could psycho-analyze her feelings later and deal with the guilt and regret then.
