Sunbeam Lair between atlas and earth

Kaori remained silent as her mother's pack surged toward one central location, but followed, undisruptive of her mother's work. She was a quiet creature yet her presence was strong, far too serious for a girl of her age. Often she wondered, what could be the matter with her? The sight of blood did not cause her to recoil, but instead, she looked upon it with interest. She was unlike her sister's, she had noticed over some time; certain things did not arouse the same excitement to her as it did to them. Yet, as she witnessed her sister's foolish actions and reckless words, she was reminded that her childhood maturity was a gift. It brought her calamity upon the sight of her step-father bleeding out on grounds she frequently walked. Kaori's eyes lingered to the wounds through the gaps of the bodies hovering around the scene and watched s her mother worked desperately to stop the natural flow of blood. She didn't know why. Was blood not meant to flow as it did with purpose? Did Ukko feel pain? She had not felt pain, not in the way she supposed the blood flowing from his wounds did. 

But she was no hematomaniac; she did not cross the line of curiosity to obsession at the sight of blood. Kaori had an interest as to the way things worked, and she wondered, did she have the capability to do such a thing to another? To her enemies? It seemed a power beyond her comprehension, and she swiftly shook it from her mind and took a step back just as her mother spoke of moving him. Kaori frowned, could her step-father even walk two steps? Feeling as if her presence was wasted among adults who knew what to do, she moved around the scene to nudge her overly obnoxious sister out of the rest's hair. “airi. let's go,” she mumbled to her sister, not out of compassion that her triplet might see her step-father perish. no, ukko did not mean much to either siblings while she knew that the dark knight, her father, lived somewhere beyond the draconid wood. instead, she knew that airi's presence did not help anyone, at any time.
