PETER
Peter's breath all but froze in his lungs as her face shifted, lips creasing down into a sharp frown. He tried frantically to figure out what it had been, what apologies he could offer, but he realized after a moment this had nothing to do with him. A soft breath left him when she spoke, his brow creasing in confusion.
Loren had... abandoned them? That... that didn't sound right. The more Zariah spoke though, the more it started to almost make sense, the words wrapping around his mind like smoke. There was something terrible about the idea that he was just being used as a pawn, some bit piece in an old family drama, and just as easily as the thought came to mind Peter tried to shove it away, his eyes closing. "Why... why would he do that?" There was a mournful note in the words, still twisted with confusion.
