[b]Amaranth Desire: Hello, [i]sister.[/i][/b]

Now
there 
was 
this.

Amy's heartbeat had sped when she saw the two of them approaching, her Semblance ramping in lockstep to delay things, give her the chance to calm herself and come up with a response. Because of course Monday wouldn't stay in itself or let her process, it all had to come crashing forward into Tuesday. 

Fact of the matter was, she knew who her father was now. If she'd been wanting to contact him instantly, she could have called him. She went to school with her half sister. There'd been ample opportunities this morning.

She shouldn't be unkind to her, the logical part of her brain was telling her. In all of this, Emerald was an innocent party. But her emotions weren’t having it. Petty jealousy was coming to the fore. She hadn’t had any semblance of a family after the age of 6, she’d bounced in and out of orphanages, she still bore the scars of thefts gone wrong, thefts she’d done to eat. Emerald had never really been broken growing up, she’d not been beaten or scathed. It [i]wasn’t fair[/i]. They had the same father, they were both Faunus, [i]why had Emerald been the lucky one?[/i]

She gritted her teeth slightly, but her blue eyes softened. Amy couldn't blame her half sister for exactly how terrible of a mother Wisteria Desree had been.

But she still couldn't deal with her right now, not in the middle of Armory.
