The Sentinels ageless beauty

there are many things about her family that do not startle her anymore; she's come to expect a certain callousness, a certain lack of regard for the basic rules everyone is meant to abide by. still, her brother manages to surprise her. it strikes her then that he truly doesn't care — it'd been obvious even with the tribes, though, hadn't it? she just hadn't wanted to think so.
alright, well — fuck you too! she yells after him, immediately a little irritated with herself for stooping to his level. her brother's harsh way of speaking might not faze her anymore, but to allow herself to mimic it! — no, she can't do that. not again. she can think it, though. and she does just that as she turns away, fighting back angry tears at this fresh proof that her entire family is a huge mistake.
