“Me too,” Aimee had said in reply.

The Kelvic missed her home. Though the wilds were great to be in, she had grown used to being within the family’s home and seeing the buildings and attending classes. Zeltiva, in a way, was another type of wild due to the cultures smashing together and Zeltiva just being lively and unpredictable as always. It was the reason she couldn’t live in Syliras for more than a year all those years ago; Syliras was dull and predictable. The rush hour happened at the same times every day, the Knights were grey, drab, and overly stern, and people got arrested for the oddest reasons. That wasn’t to say Zeltiva’s guard wasn’t enforcing its own laws, they just seemed a little more liberal in their delegation.

Aimee returned Elann’s smile, though it was more in politeness than geniality. She considered what she wanted to ask for a short moment; there were a few questions on her mind but she didn’t want to overwhelm or confuse the Benshira.

“I wanted to know how you and my brother met,” Aimee said knowing that Elann had told her once before, but this was for personal clarification. “Also, how were things before you married one another? It’s just, now, things between the two of you seem really… tense, for lack of a better word, and I’m trying to wrap my head around it because it confuses me.” She took a breath. “I mean, when momma and I were there in your apartment before the wedding, things between you two seemed… I don’t know… better?”

Aimee shifted uncomfortably. “I know he adores you, otherwise he wouldn’t be here now. I know there’s conflict and bickering sometimes, my parents do it all the time, but whenever things happen between you and Noah, it seems much more dire,” she pointed out. “It may be because he can conjure storms on a whim, but he’s never been this… stressed before. He’s usually so mellow and quiet, but with you he’s always talking or seems as if he’s just trying to keep together without falling apart, or something.”

She finished, blinking her large eyes towards Elann. She had been observing for the past two weeks and had nothing but questions come. Though she didn’t want to overwhelm Elann, as soon as she started talking the words just kept tumbling out as if she didn’t have a shut for her mouth. She was an eager individual and she was passionate about the topic: her brother and Elann as an extension.
