Three additional names to the list and an extra litter of unknown proportions- more siblings than she'd cared to imagine, especially since there was plenty of room for fallacies. Colibri's knowledge was probably the closest she'd ever get to understanding the fundamentals of the Soul family, but it was in not absolute. How many others were there? She could always pay Ulilohi a visit and ask about remaining relatives; the Aniwayan leader would surely know. Part of her knew, however, that she had no intention of doing that. In this particular case, Lilin appreciated being left in the dark where her ignorance made it a comfortable place to hide from the truth. She refrained from commenting altogether, choosing a silent nod instead. In a matter of minutes, her unfounded pride in her sire's bloodline had morphed into indifference.
Her desire to feel unique had been trampled over. The harsh reality of it all had nothing to do with her newfound sister though. Colibri spoke and she listened, her interest unwavering as more information was openly laid out before her. The Soulstorm heir couldn't fathom what Haku had done to her older sister, although she assumed it was similar to the emotional scarring she'd personally suffered at the hands of her matriarch. Perhaps even worse- Coli's personality provided a good insight of past hardships she'd gone through ''That took a lot of courage,'' she offered, her features softening in hopes of dispensing some form of praise. It was an admirable thing to do - sacrificing one's own sanity to save strangers. Lilin herself didn't know if she would have done the same.
"You weren't a deserter if you never gave him your allegiance to begin with." Her half-sibling's out-loud musings, especially the physical comparison between herself and their sire, captured Lilin's attention with ease. Absent-mindedly, she found herself attempting to picture him and not Coli, mentally replacing the loner's feminine features with rough, masculine attributes. "And what about now? Do you even have a place to call home or are you just passing through?" Would they see each other again after this day? Lilin couldn't help but fear her eldest sibling would disappear just as easily and unexpectedly as she'd appeared.
