Kamaria
I would rather stay here
Where the moon, it glows
Where the moon, it glows
Her mother's promises of starry waterfalls sounds truly amazing and wondrous, but Kamaria is pulled back to the gravity of their surroundings as she watches Nate leave. He doesn't falter or return, and something feels off in the air. As she looks at her father, she can see the way he works his jaw, and her own suddenly sets too. Was something wrong? Why wasn't he saying anything?
That is, until her mother's voice breaches through and Kamaria's face turns to regard her mother. Her hair, which has fallen out of place, is smoothed over with a loving touch only a mother could give. But the subject matter is a suddenly stark contrast, and Kamaria gulps down her worry. "No... what did they do?" She murmurs in answer, gaze only wavering when Sunjata does finally speak.
Her head shakes almost immediately, brows pinching. Not again, she thinks. Too young for tattoos, too young to explore on her own. Too young, everyone says. But here is her mother, willing to overlook that to tell her something vital - something important about someone important. "No- no, I'm not. Tell me, please," she pleads, almost desperate for it, "I can hear the story."

Soaring doves and falling crows
