Kyra Rye Shade
"No, I'm alright... Although I can't say so for Shrade." She smiled evilly at what she had planned for the bugger. "Hey! I was talking to her!" The sudden shout into phone caused Kyra to wince. "Rudolf? What's goin-" "Hey kiddo!" Oh no. She paled, before responding with a false note of cheeriness, "Hey..." "Kyra Rye Shade! What did I tell you about checking in with us every time you moved?! And don't deny it! I checked the motion tracker and you aren't where you said you'd be!" "In my defense it was totally not my fault! I thought we would be going to Baltimore, but Shra-" "I don't wanna hear it!" She slumped and began to walk, shamefully, back downstairs to the dinner table in full view of Shrade, who she glared daggers at. "I know Elise..."
Kyra begrudgingly agreed with everything her Aunt Elise said and the entire time, her traitorous brother, Shrade, watched with a paling complexion.
Shrade Stryder
Shrade had watched Ayzlee walk away and saw Kyra come downstairs with that weary look that said she was talking with their Aunt. He smiled softly, already knowing how his Aunt may be chewing his sister out.
"Elise! I didn't change the LZ! Shrade did, okay? So just chew him out instead of me!" His head whipped up at that. He made a sudden move for the phone when his sister growled at him and held out a hand with a ball of blue flame levitating a few inches above it. He froze.
"Okay, now, we need to talk about the Jaguar clan that came by-" Shrade heard Elise's voice through the phone and grinned... He watched Kyra shudder as if swallowing something horrible. He knew what Elise was saying to her, and reveled in the fact that Kyra was possibly going to be matched/mated with a Jaguar... He snickered at the look of discomfort and embarrassment on his sister's face.
Kyra's voice went soft and Shrade saw her eyes flick quickly in the direction of the cough, where John sat before slumping her shoulders even further... He suddenly felt sympathy for his sister, knowing how she must wish to have his teleportation powers and just teleport away...
Kyra Rye Shade
Kyra tried not to feel like she had just betrayed someone important. She tried to keep herself from thinking of the arrogant shifter she had met when a clan of Jaguars stopped by her Uncle's house, proposing the son of their clan leader be mated to her... Her aunt and uncle had been surprised but happy about the prospect and were the only ones who held any and all powers over Kyra's married life... She had hoped Else wouldn't bring up such a topic over the phone, but it was her Aunt Elise afterall.
"Kyra your not getting any younger and besides, it's high time you move out of the house and go be with someone you can trust not to stab you in the back. It's time for you to settle down, alright?" Kyra winced when her aunt mentioned 'settling down.' "Elise, I-" "Besides, didn't you like Jaguar? He seemed like a good enough match for you..." Her aunt began to rant again, and so Kyra hung up without saying goodbye.
She slumped in her chair and growled at Shrade, "Shrade, you ruin everything..."
