there was no hiding the disappointment -- and hurt -- that seeped across indra's visage. stigmata's outburst cut her down, and she looked upon him in the manner of a dog that had been unjustly struck. if he wanted to linger on the borders, he may as well leave them -- she was just gathering up the hurt and churning it into rightful rage to speak when laurel spoke for her.
laurel had never let indra down; laurel knew where to go, what to say -- she looked upon her sister with a sort of anguished admiration then, her gaze stealing darkly to stigmata for whatever rejoinder he might issue.
it wouldn't matter; by her body posture alone, indra was unreceptive to any further argument. while she was silent, her body spoke for her -- rays of tormented disgust seemed to radiate from her clipped posture. she could not trust herself to answer laurel's question about fire without betraying the hurt in her voice, so instead she gently nudged the she-wolf so she might offer her own name if she wished.

now the wren has gone to roost and the sky is turning gold,
and like the sky, my soul is also turning.
and like the sky, my soul is also turning.
