Moonsong Glacier the wayward weeping voices that you will hear

He was aghast, appalled at the decree of his brother. It didn't hurt him as much as one might anticipate when Yami refused them - he didn't hear her, didn't care for her opinion - but when Arcturus commanded that he stop his assault and let her go free, he was stunned. The orders of their father were clear: Yami was to be brought back to the mountain and only after that would Revui be worthy of his desired role. It was selfish of him to continue despite what Arcturus was saying, but --- what would father think? What would happen if he went against those orders? He did not want to lose his shot at ascension; he deserved it.

The boy was conflicted. In that lapse was an opportunity for Yami to escape his grasp and so she did, slinging sharp remarks as her only form of retaliation. While she had been off exploring the world the two brothers had followed in their father's footsteps and become proper warriors; they could still take her down with ease, far out-matching her physically. But it depended on Arcturus now. The shadow had called for Revui to hold back and he did, impatient and concerned at first, then hurt and vengeful as the reunion soured further.

He flashed his teeth and growled a low bestial sound towards his coward of a sister - but he didn't lunge for her again.
