Enigma was silent, his eyes watching the flames as his mind danced about the argument that he'd had with Jael and the words he'd said. He didn't exactly hate his father but he didn't want to be his son either, the git of a traitor and branded such by name and those eyes. While Jael could get away with not calling himself Vitium's son and Halo merely carried the de le Poer eyes he had the eyes of the traitor, the reminder to those who knew, who could remember what his sire had done. He lowered his head and just let the mixed emotions churn.
When she did speak he hadn't really expected the words that she granted him to be what she said, but when she did he lifted those troubled orbs to gaze at her, trying to find the right words to say.. and yet not sure if anything would do. Finally it seemed he just settled on more questions, "Do you think he really sent us here to die? Jael said.." He snapped his jaws shut suddenly, no matter how bad his relationship with his brother he wasn't going to tattle on the boy for taunting him and trying to goat him.
Instead he merely went back to churning up the fire as he said quietly. "All he ever did was talking about the clan.. about our family.. he never told us the truth." His words bitter as he jabbed at the embers and newly laid logs in the inferno.
