bad blood

Kaskara seemed to relax slightly – though the tension between them was still within the air. He refused to make mention of it, and relaxed slightly as she stood, grazing her nose against his cheek. He listened to her, smiling slightly to her question, though not truly commenting on it. She didn’t sound terribly convinced that she wanted a relationship with Kieran – it was almost as if she spoke like she was making a business deal, rather than finding love.
 
But what was love, truly? Had he felt it with Bazi? He had felt lust, for certain. But love? The two had grown so far apart, he didn’t even know what to do to fix it. All he knew was that each day she was further from his grasp.
 
Had he known love with Paarthurnax? It was possible he could have. If Bazi had not re-entered his life.. and if she had not disappeared. It had been very possible.
 
He was pulled from his thoughts at her question, blinking slowly. Not desiring to get in to his concerns about his crumbling relationship, the man shrugged, offering a yawn. “Tired and weary,” he determined then, though he doubted this would be a surprise to his sister. The adults of Nova Peak had their hands quite full.
