Altar of Twilight i keep ending up here

Alya did not drop it. He wasn't playing her games, so she wasn't about to start playing his. Blue eyes narrowed while he continued to be politely aloof, and she might've excused herself then and there, except he mentioned Moonspear, and she did have an agenda to spread.

"Not good," she said quietly, allowing her expression to fall into agonized contemplation. She added a bit of shell-shocked vulnerability for good measure. "Something terrible happened. One of the wolves from the Caldera pack came to my mountain and slayed my baby sister." She kept her eyes on the ground between them as she spoke, but lifted them to meet Aditya's a moment later, widening them as if she couldn't believe she'd just told him that, and maybe also hinting that she might need him to take some sort of role of authority here, and comfort the grieving girl before him.

Inwardly, Alya sighed. She should have just given into her desires and gone to see Vaati.
