Sorry. It seems my 'Souls muse is as woefully low as ever.
Distraction came fast on the heels of those memories, thankfully pushing them back into the corner of her mind that they'd come from. She wasn't alone here, the first sign coming at the sight of the horse tied to the post. Wasn't that just wonderful. Of course she couldn't be afforded the luxury of reminiscing on her own. Her father would ingratiatingly claim that it was the work of Fate. Lucia didn't exactly buy into that, but either way, things weren't going the way she wanted. But really, she'd thrown that away the second she agreed to come out here with Ren.
She could turn back. Return to the lake and ignore the questions that Renato would inevitably toss her way. It would be such an easy thing to do. But no, she would stick to her stubborn nature. She had come all the way out here with the intention of visiting her old home, and she wouldn't turn back now. That would mean returning another day, and that just wasn't in the cards. She'd nearly had her fill of the place already. So Lucia continued toward the ramshackle cabin at a steady pace, making note of the canine scent that accompanied the horse.
She realized then that she recognized the scent. Honestly, it shouldn't have come as a surprise, considering what Rio had told her and where she was standing. There wouldn't be many people she'd be able to recognize that would bother to come waste time at this abandoned old building.
A noise, almost familiar in its rhythm, brought her along the side of the cabin, toward one of the windows. "Well," she began, stepping into view, "it seems I've found another wayward sibling." Jade eyes coolly studied the dark form of her sister. It had been ages, but there was no mistaking that it was Caprica.
