Altar of Twilight don't leave the party dying

i'm trying to wrap up all Cas' threads before he leaves, and tbh he wouldn't stay around with Connie's response <33

Constantine did not respond how Casmir had expected — but as the twins stood watching one another, the boy quickly became aware of the gulf that had grown between them. here he was, scarred, missing an ear, carrying so much fuckery around in his heart he couldn't set it down to be happy for five seconds. and then there was Connie, much more careful than he, but also devoted to something Casmir couldn't understand. he wasn't like Deirdre, committed to the redwood forest and their father's legacy — he wasn't like Emaleth, who had gone off to find her own way, or like Eilidh, who was quiet, veiled. 
Casmir didn't know who Connie was at all.
"yeah," he muttered with a small, tight smile. there was nothing to talk about here. Connie's unyielding tone made it clear to his brother that things were done, at least for now, and there was no friendliness in him. Casmir didn't truly understand why — he was not an introspective boy — and decided to cut his losses. "i'll go now."
with that, he turned and trotted into the odd landmark, heading for whatever; he didn't know, just that he needed to get out from beneath the weight of Constantine's eyes, which were seemingly disapproving and devoid of any warmth Casmir felt his brother needed to have.[/tr][/td][/table]
