"we just... constantine was my right hand. he was my beta back in donnelaith and even after we left i wouldn't have made a single conscious decision without running it past him," she said quietly, ears flicking once before falling back, "i just... i could've sworn he thought the same about me." aria didn't care much for eilidh, selfishly, who she hadn't seen much of in months anyway. but constantine's leave drove her made. and floki... god damn it, floki.
