Sunbeam Lair she pours a daydream in a cup

she is almost annoyed when her solitude is broken, and a stormy demeanor looms over the pair.  for the moment his words escaped her, and she does not turn to face him.

she had wanted to be alone.

and then she remembers where she is and who she is with, and turns to face him.  so this is the boy her brother is so enamored with?  the corners of her lips raise as she wonders what her father would have thought, not that it mattered.

oh.  she says flatly, still unsure of how to take a compliment.  it was something she'd always kept private, despite being common in her family. thanks.  lennon?
