The Soul sisters were nothing alike personality-wise. With time and effort, Lilin was beginning to accept the things that made them so different. Colibri had gone through so much more than she had; life's brutality had taken its toll on her. Although the Virding was growing accustomed to seeing her kin like this, she could never control the hurt caused by Colibri's feeble personality. How she wished her eldest sister could see the good in life - Lilin was no optimist; she understood the reasons behind the older femme's reactions, but she also understood that fear was enough to drive a person mad. Their father had been no less than insane and while it proved to be a nonsensical theory, the Soulstorm heir couldn't help but think both of his daughters were predisposed to suffer from the same mental affliction. It was only a matter of time, perhaps.
Coli's fleeting glances, the anxious manner with which she spoke and acted, would often give birth to feelings of anger within her. Often, Lilin pictured herself firmly gripping the chocolate female by the shoulders and shaking the anxiety out of her. Had it been an effective method of fixing her, she would have done so in a heartbeat. But it wasn't. Was Colibri already beyond salvation? ''You're not bothering me, Coli,'' she retorted almost immediately, a little too forcefully. Upon realizing this, Lilin offered an encouraging smile to redirect her sister's attention away from the intonation used. As much as she hated to admit it, she felt like an emotional wreck as of late. ''And thank you, you look very pretty also. Why must you hide your face from the world?'' As much as Colibri bore a striking resemblance to Haku himself, so did she. Half of her face belonged to the Stormbringers but the other half belonged to their sire- there was no denying it. Her comment was no less than truthful; Colibri was a pretty woman indeed. If only she'd learn to hold herself with more confidence.
Lilin was pleased to see the Hollr accept her invitation after a lengthy moment, demonstrating her appreciation with several wags of her tail. Her congratulatory comment was acknowledged with a halfhearted smile, as she was clearly more concerned with the reason behind her sister's nighttime visit. When a blanket of silence fell upon the duo, her smile morphed into a curious frown. Boldly, she reached for Colibri's right hand to halt her anxious fiddling. ''What's going on?'' It was in her nature to be nervous but this was out of the ordinary.
