another story - Kiada - 06-24-2019 There was one thing Kiada was certain about. She had been a shitty friend. And despite that, there was a part of her that couldn’t quite face the music just yet. She had wanted to return to her dark, dusty home, to tell Seiji she was fine, but she hadn’t. She couldn’t. It had took months before she could even tell him about Ru’in’s death and why it had changed her so much over Longnight. This time, she’d have to explain her capture, and inadvertent “sacrifice” and her return. But she knew he’d probably noticed Auni had finally left the home. The Luxere had been attached at Kiada’s hip the moment he knew she was back. And Kiada felt terrible for it, for not coming by sooner. She remained in the area, however, occasionally perched as her vulture self, outside the door to scout in and make sure he was alive and well. Yet up until now, she still couldn’t face the music. Soon, however, she realized it would just get worse and worse, and she wouldn’t be able to continue to keep it up without having to explain it further and further – embarrassing herself more and more as the days went by. It was nearing dawn, and she and Auni began the trek to her home. She hopes the closer she gets that Seiji is awake – that she won’t frighten her friend. But most importantly, she hopes he’s been okay while she’s been gone. It feels like the blink of an eye before she’s on her doorstep, turning the door handle right before Auni bursts in to try and find Seiji – his hooves clacking along the ground bright and loud, and Kiada winces with the movement before stepping inside and quietly clicking the door shut. Then she turns to face the music.
