The sable-shaded woman did not know what to make of her older brother. She could vaguely remember his presence in her youth, but she could recall nothing specific about him, and she did not remember any particular attentions lavished toward her or her siblings. Now, he was the leader of this clan, unreachable and distant as her mother. Unlike her mother, however, Gabriel did not seem to actively desire to cut himself off from her; he did not avoid her purposefully as it would seem Kaena did at times (though Eris had no idea of either her mother or brother's recent injuries and how they had both needed time to heal). He had shown her kindness, too—her mother hadn't given a goddamn inch (of course, Eris was conveniently forgetting that she had even been readmitted to the clan in the first place).
Enkiel answered more directly than Eris, informing Gabriel what they were doing. The yellow-green eyes of the Equites shifted from nephew to brother, remaining quiet for the moment. There was harshness in the Aquila's face, and for a moment Eris was petrified he would begin to yell—though she could not logically fathom why—but his face softened again and he spoke, offering what seemed to be a compliment, as well as useful information. The shadow-furred canine had not inspected this forest, and she did not know her half-sister was also interested in these arts. “I hadn't been up that way yet,” the woman admitted. “I will. Thank you.” There was something inherently nervous about Eris when Gabriel was around. The last time they had seen one another, this nervousness had been masked by physical pain, humiliation, and rage.
