feathery wings

Firefly grinned at her sister as she spoke up, always the one to obsess over the appearances and simple things. Shaking her head slightly, not realizing just how much she probably looked and sounded like their mother for the moment she spoke firmly. "If the boys just want something to look at they're not worth it in the end." She'd already had her fill of boys that drooled over her looks and tried to flatter her with words. She had a short fuse to begin with and after a while all those words just ran together and sounded the same to her. Firefly shook her head again as she went on. "You know there's more than outer beauty, and if you weren't being so pigheaded you'd know you're beautiful anyways. Don't compare the sheen of a raven's feather to the hues of an autumn day, both are beautiful in their own rights."

Firefly had never favored her father in anything but those emerald orbs, and she'd left after her brother with no care to what troubles it might bring, the words she'd learned after she'd left had hurt her, that her own father would believe that DaVinci would kidnap her.. but she'd known he'd never trusted the silvery hybrid. When Ember went on with her retort on how she was fine Firefly laughed softly. She narrowed her eyes at Ember as she grinned and moved out of Ember's way. "You've always been a horrible liar Ember, don't make a habit of it.." she said with a sigh.

Shaking the snowflakes from her pelt she paused a moment and stared into those identical emerald eyes as she said softly. "Yeah. Who else is going to protect you from brothers.." She teased. Tilting her head to the side, towards the gardener's home in the vineyards she'd claimed as her den she stated simply. "Come on.."
