Kayin...sighed miserably, hanging his head.
"I don't even know why I hope. It's clear you are not sincere, mother. Those words are like a dagger to my heart!" "At least I'll always remember your name, Kayin," Life offered warmly, as she headed over to the door. She reached into her bag and pulled out a compass, glancing down at it briefly.
"Come on, let's go. The longer we wait around here, the higher the chance we have of getting caught. We are in Quagmire, correct? The temple should be south of here..." Kayin smiled gratefully at Life, following her to the door.
"Yes, that's true. I love you, other mother! You're so much better than my other mother!" Life chuckled to herself.
"Likewise."
Niven stiffened, for once some genuine fear in his dark green eyes. He swallowed, pace slowing slightly.
"That's just like you, you know?" Niven mumbled as he walked, kicking a nearby stone. That slight headache from before turned from a slight annoyance to a throbbing pain in his head. He fought off a shudder, actively thinking about his next words in an attempt to keep his mind focused.
"To hide behind Mom. It's pathetic. Maybe for once, you should fight your own battles." Either way, I still have to listen to him right now, Niven lamented, sickness pooling in his stomach.
How unbearable...
