Morningside Cuesta the betrayer

last from me :)

Liri nods silently, a pain for Illidan settling in her chest, at his words. Liri knows the chances of finding this other, Ephraim, are slim. Even Leto had not managed to find her for years and he'd been lost to her again shortly after. She knows little of the love between siblings, having lost all of her own, and gives up on the chance of reuniting them. 

She keeps this to herself. There is a silver lining, she and Kavik will make sure he's safe. If it should pass that they do find his family or he should seek them out later, he will be free to go. For now, Liri will look after him. 

"Come on," she says it gently, with a glance at the water. "I have another with me, Kavik. He's nice." Liri turn to the smoke-capped child with a smile. She takes the remains of the turkey in her jaws, for her giant, and with a gesture of her head for Illidan to follow, treks back in the direction she'd come from.
