indra felt a familiar pain sink her stomach as she heard phoenix reveal the nature of his departure: it was in clipped, few words -- but it was enough that she realized the betrayal he felt. for a moment she thought what might have been if it had been her and laurel instead -- no, she could not think it.
she dared not think it.
he studied his feet as she recollected her wits with cumbersome care. it was true, she had been blindsided -- her world had been toppled and her memory of her mother now questioned. indra sucked in a shaky breath not unlike phoenix's. "you're not the one to blame." she offered, her voice dull in the manner a child's would be after admitting fault. "we'd want to know. i'm.. glad i know." her amber gaze raked from his legs to somewhere ambiguously on the burnished frill of his ears. "so.. now what?"

now the wren has gone to roost and the sky is turning gold,
and like the sky, my soul is also turning.
and like the sky, my soul is also turning.
