Green Labyrinth
His sister does not really react to his presence, and he blinks slightly in surprise. His ideas about whisking her off to talk are momentarily shelved, and despite his usual obliviousness, he realises that it may be best to leave her alone for now. There's also an element of him not wanting to have to cut out searching for Otem from his routine - that counts as a deviation, and the volcano boy does not react well with those. If he continues to seek her out to talk to her, then he can keep that valuable part of his day. With his mind made up, he walks away from his sister without a backwards glance. It may look callous or rude to do so, but neither of these things occur to him - he's simply thinking that he will find her another day to have their talk, and that until then he can carry on searching for her as he has done every day up until now. He is about to leave alone when he catches sight of his father, and moves to fall into step behind the older man. It does not escape his notice that he's now tall enough to look his sire in the eye, a sign that he'll probably end up outgrowing the ebony warlord. Normally he'd remark on such a thing regardless of how he might offend his father, but he's too distracted today to be able to do so. "Father," comes his greeting in his predictably monotone voice. "I will walk with you." He falls into step next to the skull-faced man, and leaves the area by his side. |
