[Mew Sadira]

^^ Word count: 454 Gotta be Somebody A white face became wrinkled, although the negative feelings it displayed could only be aimed at herself. Haku would know this, being her brother. He knew her better than most people, and yet sometimes not at all. And Mew thought she knew Haku as well as anyone, although sometimes not at all. It was probably like this for everyone, and now its impact was painted on Mew Sadira's face. She could not read her brother this moment. He was calm, there was no trace of secrecy in him, although he could either be leading her onto a confession, or he had no idea at all. The latter seemed more likely, as she did not expect him to be so .. neutral in his behavior should he know what she had done. for a second she let her thoughts linger on the idea of not giving in at all, pretending she had come here with no other goal than to give him a present, although she knew even before the thought struck her that it would be impossible. She was too rooted in her own principles to escape the punishment she deserved. Taking a deep breath, she looked at him earnestly, and let her arms fall to her sides, one hand holding the bow and one the violin, both who had been offered to him, but none yet accepted. I have... wronged you. Her eyes fell tot he ground in disgrace, and flickered up again to meet his eyes. The vivid blue that was so much like her own green hue, but then again not at all. They were so alike, these two, and so different. So utterly different. I took advantage of your trust in order to hurt your... mate. And I apologise. She had had trouble defining Firefly as his female, his mate, his choice of life style. The detest she felt towards the female would not be quenched, and Mew dared not say her name, in fear of risking making faces. Despite her deceit and sly scheme, her appearance in the evening shine spoke against the darkness of her nature, as the edges of the fine white hairs that made her pelt shone with every glimmer of light it could find. The halo of light that surrounded her and set her face spoke of innocence, and though she was no such thing as innocent anymore, she was still pure, except this one grave mistake. She would, now, do her best to subdue her negative feelings towards her cousin, but it would be hard. Bracing herself for a reprimand from her younger(!) brother, she met his gaze with strength. She would take his anger, and she hoped it would suffice to put things right.
