Northstar Vale Let's just hurt tonight

The woman slinks closer to him and he is unsure of the proper action to take — whoa there!  She had to know that he wouldn't make a very good romantic interest by the way he'd treated her so far.  Turns out that she was just joking anyway, and he was freed from the possibility of an awkward response. Oh?  And what is your taste in boys?  I will keep my eye out.. send them your way.  His words are light, almost... playful? as he indulges the girl.

He thinks for a moment that perhaps he has been too unkind in peering into her personal life.  Of course the gray girl would know nothing of her previous siblings. Cherish them, he muses, so long as they are good to you and your family.

Relief washes over him once the woman says she'll look out for his own kin, but his expression remains flat.  Perhaps it is better that she not know how much his sister's second disappearance from him meant.  From what I understand, they have settled so far southwest that they have nearly left the Teekons completely.  He wonders upset and somewhat angrily if she had fled so far because of him or if that is where her boyfriend (right?) had decided they would lay.  He huffs, brows knitting together with concern.  He'd fucked up, he knew it... but the ball was in his sister's court.  He never thought she would leave.

By the way, I am Mattias Kersey.  It was better for the woman to have a name to give his sister.
