No, I wasn't sure if I was going to stay yet. But, I was here, so why make my time here awkward by standing, besides, he's my father, I'm not looking to being all politically correct around him. Unless, of course, he demanded it. Besides, that cracked rib may be healed but damn, it still hurt if I put too much pressure on that side. So, I'd rather be comfortable than being uneasy due to lingering pain.
I watched him, my golden eyes watching as he settled with me. I was trying to figure out if I was brave enough to stay here to try to get to know him, whether it'd be worth it or not. I had not gotten myself into trouble on my own, the little run in, while I was still dealing with aches, that was different. And then the freak of a lady who dared insiuate that my brother should have my pelt draped over his shoulders, that girl was more than fucked up. I just hoped to never run into her again.
I listened to his words, and when he spoke of sending a sibling, I chuckled. "I've met one recently on my own. Erebos." I shook my head at the memory of that. But then father brings up mother, and my expression drops. I had not seen her since I was a year and a half. Hell, I didn't even know if she was alive anymore. It was a bit of a bromide notion, wondering if her own mother was alive. Stupid, really. "I don't know where she is, or if she's alive anymore" a flat, unemotional response. I can't afford feelings, not anymore. I had lost emotion towards her when she up and left me. Not that I blamed her, I wasn't a very good daughter, so whatever, right?
He spoke of Asteraia, and I shook my head, a little behind in the times. "I wouldn't know where to even look. I've been out in the free lands since Mom left all those years ago. I wasn't sure if you'd even want me here, to be honest. Things...haven't gone smooth between us." I suppose in this situation, honesty was the best policy, right? I had to admit, I always felt this void, knowing I had put so much angst and anger between us. I always wondered if he'd ever forgive me for being such a spiteful child.
