zephyra fought loneliness with solitude. when encouraged to socialize with the other girls her age she turned a shoulder, when asked to learn from the adults she ran. there were moments she sought comfort in her sister, but even in that she felt like a stranger in her own body.
she kept to herself. thoughts locked away behind bars and chains. heart cemented in a block of concrete. nephele sought to comfort her only to be pushed aside. even now as a motherly tongue swept over her head zephyra could not bring herself to accept it. she was undeserving.
and so she tore away, ushing up a quiet, "i'm going to get something to eat," as an excuse. she started north toward the closest cache only to bank left and head for the west.
she didn't know what it was that she was searching for, only that she'd know when she finally found it.
