Bask in the Light of the Stars
(Alright.) Zen didn't buy it, but he wasn't going to argue the point. Or the different between a fellow triplet and an unexpected sibling.
Unlike Vesper, who's question had been callus and borderline mocking, Nova's was innocent and genuine. It was clear that she was simply curious and unaware of how grating the question might potentially be. Zen gently tapped the knuckles of one hand against her forehead. His stars brightened, betraying his underlying humor. (That's rude to ask.) Still, he silently sighed as his hand dropped, letting his stars shift and darken as he gave his sister an honest answer. (I don't like how speaking feels.) So used to the quiet hum of the stars, the vibrations of Zen's own voice felt abrasive in his chest. It was unpleasant and as he had the other means to communicate, it felt unnecessary.
The stars reformed, taking on a purple hue, (It's a secret. Please don't tell anyone.) The Demi-god had a feeling that word would eventually get back to the other triplets. Even if he'd rather it didn't, as long as it didn't stretch further, he wouldn't be upset.
