Neverwinter Forest little light of mine

you're a liar, liliana remarked. it was a non-accusatory statement that asserted nonetheless what she thought to be true, whether or not she was correct. feeling that familiar anger that came with being lied to, she found herself forgetting the pain in her ankle.

she listened to her mom continue, finding that none of it made sense. miriam was trying to deflect, but she always did, so it didn't come as much of a surprise. why did you have kids if you weren't sure that's what you were supposed to do? yana asked, hoping for an honest explanation.

the focus shifted its uncomfortable weight back onto liliana. yeah, maybe, she replied, i need to find asmoses. if not for their resemblance to one another, liliana thought she might have forgotten his face completely. but abba is here, so i can't go too far.
