she paid no attention to Sunny, though if she hadn't been running on desperation and grief, she might have snapped at him there. instead, she focused on the immediate problem at hand; who seemed to have stopped spiralling into a dangerously depressive state and instead seemed to settle merely at unhinged. it as better than nothing, and again did she find herself pushing back her own violent tide, pressing against her uncle as he spoke, painting on a false smile. "sure I know her," she offered, but her thoughts were not at all on the long lost aunt as she surveyed him.
he continued, as if suddenly the body before them no longer existed. this was better then what had been, and with a single glance Sunny's way to ensure they were gone, she replied again. "yeah - we can leave tomorrow, even. I think she headed north." each word, each smile, twisted a knife in her gut, and yet she forced the charade onward if only to stop her uncle from looking back towards her father.
