Duskfire Glacier come on, dark star

"Sister!"

One bloodied paw reached up as if to caress Taqtara's cheek, though she paused before it could make contact. "I would not lie about such a thing!" her voiced raised, ears pinned as the true motive behind the glacierwoman's actions came to light. 

It stung to hear that Taqtara had been there to witness the deaths of their parents. Had Illuliaq too? She wished to ask, and yet it stung even more to learn what her sister's hatred stemmed from. "Believe me, I wanted to return sooner. I regret it to this very night that I could not have been there to hold you, but there is so much you do not understand."

"Please, sit with me," she begged. "Please."  Her eyes held hers; please, Sedna, help her understand. If she could not have been a shoulder to cry on back then, she would try to be that now.
