Sia offered her more approving words, and Taki smiled in response. Thank you, brother, she said with a bow of her head. She was glad for the praise, but he played a vital part in their successful journey, too. 

Any remnant of a smile fell from Taki's face at the mention of the their father. She tensed at the reminder of how she had put her faith in someone who turned out to not give a shit about her. Taki's scowl matched her brother's as she spoke, It's a mistake I plan to never make again, and I'm sure you feel the same way. She wondered why he was bringing up the painful subject. She was sure as shit happy to never speak of the man again.
