Coconut Grove the quake in my breath

Short post, ah. Sorry for the wait.

The licks upon her face had been welcomed, and the words of her sister taken to heart. While she knew that she could not prevent herself from wandering away come nightfall, she would try harder than usual after the fright that she'd put herself through. To lose them—either of them—was something she couldn't even stand the thought of. They were her family, and Xaaos her lover. To leave them, she could not, for never would they leave her. It was their responsibility to continue the purity of their lineage, and so she would stay by their sides for as long as possible, wishing silently to herself that her dreams might never steal her away again.

When her brother spoke, she'd listened in on the conversation, observing the exchange between the two males. She did not know what to make of the stranger aside from his frightening aura, and so her own mouth was kept shut. Even when eyes had found her own, she'd not said a word, instead having taken a moment to inch closer to her brother's side.
