Lies and Deceit - A Fantasy RP

He knew the amount of trust she was giving him here and he gave her a kind smile to let her know he was grateful. In a way it was kind of like an olive branch between the two, who the day before were enemies. He gently slathered the poultice on the effected area, making sure he covered the front and back well before he set the rock down. He cleaned off his hands and couldn't help himself he brushed his fingers across the downy soft feathers briefly. It was a luxury he had never afforded himself, and he hoped he hadn't overstepped.

Sierra stared at him, her eyes fearful that the hunter that she had seen the other day might return and hurt her or Tory, which was a rather unreasonable phobia. She whispered a thankful "Thanks" before noticing his hands return to brush over her wings. Her body froze as he did, rather timid once again that he might hurt her, but softened as she once again reassured herself he was benign. With a slight smile forming on her face on his hands brushed past, she explained softly "You'd make a good Aves, you know, Casimir."

Eva asked quietly, not wanting to offend her because she knew she had almost been killed by him, “Why does Horius act the way he does? Do you know?”

"Xylo knows. But I wouldn`t ask him- they`er basically brothers. But from what I know, is that he has some horrible past that makes him think he has the right to go around killing people. There`s no rhythm to it- he simply just kills. He likes it, and I think he thinks what he is doing is right." River said, glancing at her, she noticed her worried expression, noting that the other girl probably thought she might offend her, she added. "You don`t need to worry about offending me. I have no respect or friendship with that murderer. But most of the others do, except Persepolis and Luna, so don`t go yapping about what you think of him to them."

He gave her a surprised look and chuckled a bit. "You think so? I think a lot of Aves would have a problem with me, given my current line of work. It would give me more or better ability to protect her, that is certain." He said as he looked over his shoulder at Tory briefly before returning his gaze to hers. "I put you on your knees the other day, you did not deserve that and I am sorry. I don't know after that how you could ever even consider allowing me to become an Aves." He said quietly looking down at his hands, the same hands that had caused so much destruction.

Sierra’s heart hardened instantly as he mentioned what he had made her do. The pleasure he had had in her tears. She was furious at herself as well, for lowering herself to what she did. His apology fell on deaf ears to begin with, her face downcast as she looked away, down at the rock they sat on.

Once again she forgave him, whispering quietly but not having the heart to bear look back at him, “Its fine.” She meant it but she didn’t want to. She folded her wings inwards, quite diminished in spirit, mostly angered at herself.

Eva nodded, thankful for that added confirmation that it was ok. She had begun to admire River as a leader, already. With a sigh, she asked, trying to change the subject “You know Lucas, right?” , assuming she did, but not knowing how well or if they were related like they in fact were.

"Know him? He`s my twin brother." River said, smirking. "Why?"

"No it isn't, although I am glad we can in some way, move past it. But listen to me, you are stronger then you know. To go into a burning building to save her, to trust me when you have no right too. That all takes strength, don't ever, let anyone put you on your knees again." He said firmly as he stood up and looked down at her. "I am not proud of the man I became when I lost my family. And I wish I could say that that man is gone, that I am who I used to be. But the truth is he is still in there, and I know its going to get a lot harder for me before it ever gets easier. But she makes me want to try, in a way you make me want to try. There is good in you that you don't see often these days, please, never let that change." he told her sincerely as he walked away after that, heading towards a different rock by the stream to sit down. He could feel the tension from her and he understood it, he wished to give her the space she needed.

"Know him? He`s my twin brother." River said, smirking. "Why?"

Eva blushed at her smirk, asking "Why are you smirking?", knowing well why she was. She added "Oh, he is? Yeah, he saved me when Horius left me for dead." She sighed, before adding in a lovesick voice "He's so blind...I really like him but he has no idea I do and I don't know why." She didn't know why she was admitting this to River, but there was no one else to talk to.

Sierra's head was a whirlwind of emotions and confusion. Why was she feeling this way? She hated and loved him at the same time, two empires fighting over which one would be chosen by her. In the end, love won. But not before hatred had acted. She realized the entire boulder she had been seated on had been coated in ice, and crushed like a toothpick, ice breaking through it, crackling and breaking the rock like it had been overtaken by some strange disease. Ice coated the floor of where she stood, her mind made up.

She walked over to Casimir, and apologized sincerely, emotions clearly running rampant in her body, but no tears showed, "I'm sorry. I forgive you completely. I've forgotten what you've made me do." She sat beside him and held his gaze more confidently now, perhaps because she had proven what would happen to him if he tried something like that again, but mostly because she was finally confident their tension had been put to rest. She promised in a hoarse voice "I never will change, I promise."

Casimir looked over at her when she sat down, looking back at the boulder she had destroyed and smiled a bit. "Good, I am glad we can try to move forward. Were you serious, before about me being an Aves?" He asked her curiously. Thinking he could not only better protect Tory and Sierra, although he doubted she needed it. But also thinking that he could be like his sister, being the same, he hoped it would help them connect.
