She enjoyed the time spent in the presence of her brother-King, her golden Knight who had once devoted his cause to a fair maiden that turned out to be a wicked witch. Despite the faults found in the both of them, Talitha's crimson eyes saw a picture of perfection in her brother, just as she had once seen in Gabriel. He was a man to aspire to emulate, a god amongst mortals who could only dream of being made from such magnificent stock. As Gabriel had been, so too was Ezekiel Inferni incarnate, and she saw no man so perfect as her brother was now. Their father had received such treatment until vile transgressions had come to light; oh, she'd handled those, however. The orange wolf who'd come looking for Gabriel had suffered the same sharp tongue as Alaine had once upon a time. And now Gabriel, in all his faults, was free of his daughter's oppressing devotion and expectations.

Her head fell forward with a sigh as the truth came out and Ezekiel turned to look at her. He pulled himself from her, golden eyes seeking to meet their mother's legacy gaze. She was firm in her decision, and it only took a moment for him to realize. Her face turned away again, but the gaze returned as he defended their unique cousin; while she found his reasons more interesting than his defense, she did not choose to press the issue of what his future held. "She made me look like a fool in front of Dahlia. As if I didn't know my own home; she knows nothing of what it means to be one of us, Ezekiel. She doesn't understand that we aren't sunshine and rainbows and flowers in the field. She thinks we need redemption." Oh, the idea that Inferni wasn't good left Talitha furious. They were not angels or saints, but the princess saw no inherent evil in her home. They were cruel because they had to be. She had seen the demons in the past, she had witnessed Haku Soul firsthand, up close and face to face. She'd known the hands of their monster Uncle, the dead Andrezej who so hated Gabriel's family. The beasts were not within Inferni, but outside of the skull-adorned borders.

Never the less, despite her outrage, she trusted Ezekiel's judgement. "You're a good leader, Zekie. Even if you don't like it; I think you were meant to do this. God wanted you to." It was the first time she'd spoken of God's wishes in quite some time; though it seemed clear what He intended Ezekiel to do, Talitha's path remained foggy and undecided. It was best she not think of their singular deity, for she always found herself coming to realize that she had been ignored in His great design.
