Moonspear confess to me,

Caelum listened to his mother's words. Mintaka had gone. He had never been very close to his sister, but he nodded all the same in acknowledgement of the dark news. Even though they were not close, he still felt the loss. After all, family was important and she chose actively to no longer be a part of theirs.

While Mira asked if she should return Mintaka, should she run into her, Caelum remained silent. He merely listened and when his mother was done talking, he remained silent. He'd never felt as if he did not belong (though he had never really thought much about it, either, hadn't gotten to question it) so he did not feel that any of what she said was applicable to him.
