He just looks at her. Stands and stares. Her own throat is thick and her belly hot with anger. The breath she took to steady her did nothing but fan the flames higher. She set the spoon in her hand down, turning now to face him squarely, jaw flexing as she tried to keep her shifts in check. "Did you think I wouldn't find out? That you could just keep this to yourself?" Except he hadn't kept it to himself. No, he had told Sah and Deimos, at least. Probably others. The thought was a knife twisting into her guts.
Studying his face, she let out a laugh of disbelief, no real amusement behind the sound. "You did, didn't you? Gods, Noah... What were you thinking?" She finally snapped, the careful control she had on her mental walls beginning to slip as she looked up at him, confusion and hurt contorting her features. "That you were keeping me safe? Them safe?" It was the biggest drive for him, she knew. His family. Their wellbeing. He did everything for them.
"I didn't know until Sah told me. Mentioned being able to make the twins weapons to protect themselves once they were older since they were Abandoned." She seethed, that wall she had so carefully crafted collapsing into a pile of rubble, emotions slamming into him violently. Her anger, hurt, betrayal... All of it a tsunami of sensation, burning hot and bright along the bond, no hint of her usual adoration to be found.
