WC: 368 OOC: Protective Niro is protective!!
Niro could see something was wrong right away. He could feel it in his bones as she came closer and see it in her petite form, she’d always been small but it seemed she bordered on malnourished now. What had they been doing to her. A deep growl of unhappiness came, though it was not heard by her as she was moving toward him. Then as she got closer he could see tears in her eyes and she threw herself on him. He tried to abate his anger, though it was hard. She was not all he had left, but she was his sister and he loved her as much as his daughters. He quietly wrapped his arms around her as she spoke, hoping he gave her any sense of security, because that’s what she needed. Things have been hard… those were the words that stuck out to him.
They’ve hurt you haven’t they. I knew you should have stayed…
Niro said. He still hurt a little, being left, though she did invite him to come, but he was loyal to the court, they’d given him a home, a life, a job. He couldn’t throw that away. It was one time that he’d stepped up and refused to go on one of Orin’s crazy expiditions, though he very unwillingly let her go on her own, knowing full well she’d get into some kind of trouble. His anger was still fighting to push through the calm of his patience. He wasn’t sure if he would be able to hold it if he had any idea of what she had to say. He would try though… for her. What could have happened to his sister with her stay here? could he leave her alone here again? He’d surely bring her back to Cour des Miracles if he had to, he knew she would be welcome back, she could live with them… till she got better, because he knew something was off.
Tell me what happened.
He said, his voice sounded calm and collective, even if the rest of him wasn’t. He wanted to be the rock for his sister, that was why she called for him, he was sure.
