She listens, and she sees the edge of a hand that reaches toward her – her iceberg gaze narrow and sharp like a wild animal as it peers at Deimos with nothing but frustration, anger, and hunger thrumming in her bones. The look she seems to shoot him says “talk later” before she’s turning that sharpened gaze back on Hotaru, her aunt, as the words fall from her lips.
And she already knows she isn’t safe here. Or at least won’t be in the coming days. And it’s that which has her itching to leave, has her muscles bunching and pulling to depart just as quickly as she’d arrived – a ghost in the shadows of the meeting, hiding away as she’d become good at.
Sure, the Old Gods have done a lot. But it wasn’t them who had given her a second chance. It was the Voice, and while she had been so terrified to return, to see if anyone accepted her back the way they had before, she realizes that she’d been right in her assumption. Chulane had, but the rest of them had made their positions known.
So before Hotaru is even finished with her speech, Kiada tilts her head up to regard her aunt, before she turns on her heel and steps out the door into the snows.
Kiada out!
