The Sentinels reunion

the light that shines in liezhal's eyes confirms racharra's suspicions, and she nods vigorously. yes, yes! i'm racharra..! and you are liezhal! she says in a breath, exasperated from her own sudden burst of energy.

there's a twinge of envy and the guilt that follows it when liezhal mentions her father. a bitter taste simmers deep in racharra's throat, and she shifts in her stance. that's right, it was her father that caused the sister's tear, for liezhal was gifted with a better sire than she was. one that came back for her. 
it briefly furrows her brow, but none of that matters now — the tear the siege for khaba's head caused for the lake has been half-sewn back together.
