Moonspear I lose myself tonight

one of the reasons that this conversation was so left and right was that terance simply didn't think the way wraen thought he did... or maybe he just had never realized it. but in his own mind, terance loved both of his sisters equally. he and sarah always had more in common, but that didn't make wraen any less important to him. the fact that wraen couldn't see that hurt terance deeply, and only made him more stubborn in this conversation. he just didn't know how to argue with her-- they were saying the same things back and forth.

and, truthfully, this hole that he'd been in was probably the cause of their drifting apart. he'd gotten into a similar argument with hydra weeks prior. it was only rannoch who kinda forced him to be out and patrol with him every morning that really saved their own relationship. but terance didn't really catch onto that trend himself, so he didn't bring it up.

"i am not," he responded quietly and, noting the subtle shift in her demeanor, smiled a bit in an attempt to lighten her mood. she was less angry, finally, but sadder-- it made him noticeably less stiff as well. "look... wraen... i know this is important to you, and if it'd been worse i would've come to you but... it just didn't feel big enough to bother anyone with. and i can't answer any of the questions you would've asked-- i still can't. it would've just made you worry-- and no one needs to worry about that, there's so much more important things going on."
