Ouroboros Spine you look so worn, so thin

It was true, Galana did not know Samani well, yet Arrluk's pain, despite Galana feeling that they might, was due to feeling exactly the same as her. That he did not know Samani well either. It was this which hurt him most. Because he hadn't gotten to know his sister. Because he hadn't gone to visit her more, know her now and now... now she was gone. Like Galana had gone. Like Ariadne had gone. 

It was something Arrluk could not control and yet he still couldn't stop the feeling of regret. (Not bothering to think he was only but a child when all this was happening) He needed to do better. He needed to act quicker. Now, Galana was back and he would be damned if he took advantage of her presence here ever again. 

She explained the new scarring as he took to focusing in it. However vague the explanation, maybe that was it. She cried to go home and so he bit her in the face. Arrluk tensed as he heard it, but after a moment, You wear it well. Like mom and Vairë. It was a reminder of her pain, but also a reminder that she was still alive despite it. If she didn't think to remember that part, then Arrluk would. 

I do too. He said, adding a little grin as well. Then, his eyes swept from her and to the river flowing into the lake and then up to the dark sky and the stars within. You know dad had said that the stars form shapes and that there is names for them...
