The Heartwood graunsheika

Ana listened in unsettled silence to all that unfolded between her family. She'd started to trail after Dinah, idly, until the boom of Towhee's yelling stopped her in her tracks. A snarl tore itself from her throat as she whipped her head around to fix a hateful glare on the woman she knew as her grandmother. Her hackles lifted, and for a moment she was still.

Then she dropped the glare and hurried after Dinah. Ana knew that she was not wanted, and so she would not linger in her sister's company. She only caught up long enough to whisper after the redhead, hoping that Dinah would hear, a soft Love you,

That was what siblings said to each other, wasn't it?

Then she would let her sister disappear into the undergrowth, watching with sad eyes before she turned to slink back to Heda. Heda; leaving.

Ana would not return to the island.
