Yami rolled her eyes at Revui's response. He basically ignored everything she'd said and insisted on forcing her to answer. Well, fine then, she would. Unlike her brother, she knew exactly why she was following Kiwi. Her friend might not have much now, but she had guts and she had some real balls, unlike some stupid meatheads she knew.
But when her jaws parted to give that response, he finished his quested at that very moment and her words were suddenly lodged in her throat. Why Kiwi instead of Moonspear? Yami shut her mouth for a moment, frowning at her brother with her jaw set firmly. A few seconds passed as she stared, her mind spinning with all the poisonous things she could say. She was so angry at her family. Whether it was right or wrong to be angry, she was angry and she was hurt. And all the yearling knew to do when she felt those things as intensely as she did was to lash out at the world around her, whatever or whoever got caught in the crossfire be damned.
"Because she accepts me," Yami said after a moment, in a slightly trembling but firm voice. Her expression softened slightly, but then it hardened again as she caught herself. She refused to be vulnerable. Not in front of Revui or anyone else. She'd hurt too much for that shit. "And because she's awesome," she added, trying to shove that other moment as far away as possible, "And because she makes her own way. No one decides for her."
Her brother seemed to accept that response, but it quickly became apparent that they didn't have much else to say to each other. Giving him one last look, Yami turned and headed off deeper into the mountain again, uncertain if she had made any progress in her relationship with her sibling or not. And also uncertain as to whether or not she cared.
