As Aeris and her brother left the meeting, the woman couldn't help but glance in his direction. Iridescent blue eyes watched him, scrutinized his face and body, searching for something she couldn't quite put a finger on. It wasn't until he put his arm around her waist that her gaze became a little less... piercing. She relaxed into his side, her head resting against his shoulder as they walked to their next destination. She didn't even bother to move when he relinquished his grip on her, preferring the closeness to anything else. 

They walked in silence for most of their trek. Even when Mai stopped in on a Vis Dispensary to get some fuel, no words were exchanged. ONly the silent promise to share a pint when the time arose.

When they finally reached their destination, Aeris stood silently next to her brother, watching the door intently. However, just as she was about say something a familiar pang resonated through her body, leaving her breathless for a moment. With a small grunt the woman reached out and gently tugged on Sanguine's shirt to get his attention momentarily.

For a moment or two, she didn't say anything, allowing herself to catch her breath. Finally, she sighed, glowering through her brother rather than at him. [color=#3098C1]"Szayeis is here. I can feel him. He's not that far away."[/color] Her sentences were clipped, her words curt. Her meaning would get across to him nonetheless: An implied apology, and irritated good-bye. 

Seconds ticked by like minutes as she waited for any kind of response from Mairyell before finally just raising herself on the tips of her toes to kiss him en full in front of any passersby.

Just as she was pulling away, a voice from the other end of the alley caught her attention, the feeling of Szayeis being nearby had drowned out any other vis presence she might've felt. 

She did not deign to reply, simply looking at the new arrival with her face partially eclipsed by Mairyell's own.
