Phoenix Maplewood Remember When

Not sure what Cicero would tell her during their thread so I am going to keep it vague here.

Desna watched her sister. She seemed to desperate in her way of finding her father and Xan. Frankly, Desna was growing estranged from them both. She saw how much they hurt her mother and was less inclined to look for them. Plus Xan was very mean to her and told her that she was adopted too, like Leo. Desna almost believed him. The girl was very upset her bother would treat her so mean.

Desna looked at her sister then. "So basically you think that papa can't take care of Xan?," she asked. "You think they are unsafe? I don't think so. They went to that dark forest or something. Sounds about right for the both of them. Daddy was so mean to mommy, and Xan was mean to me too. I know you didn't like it either how Dad always hung out with Xan. Why look for them? I want to help you but I don't want to make mommy more upset. You know how worried she has been about you and Sesi? You could be more nicer to her you know. She is hurting just as much as you and I," Desna spoke wisely.

Her hazel eyes focussed on her sister. "I'm not sure if I want to see them, Nanook. They went different ways for a reason. Maybe we shouldn't... I want to help you but I am not sure I can help you with looking for them," she spoke, sounding genuinely sorry. "I do want you to stay close. I miss you and I want to be your sister but I can never find you."
