Stone Circle me thinkies

Leta's tail stilled when her brother began to cry. She felt unhelpful, but committed to making sure whatever was making him not okay okay again. Leta was an optimist, and a little bit of a foolish one at that... but she believed everything would be alright once they figured it all out. Is it the earth shaking??? She asked, quieter and for Clay to hear. Maybe he was embarrassed, but she wanted him to know: It's scaring me, too, and sometimes that fear made her want to cry. Reminded her of something, but what that was she couldn't remember. 

When he asked that they go away, Leta was ready to respect his wishes if only because she was nothing if not obedient. Reading the room, though, Leta recognized that perhaps they ought to stay? And Leta said, gently, very quiet, I wanna stay with you cause I love you, but the more submissive part of her hated to not listen... even to her brothers.
