Kira couldn't say anything to her sister's words. How could she say no to her father? If she did... Kira shuddered to think about it. Their father had been devastated by their mother's death. And his temper and opinions on women who went against traditions... She had felt the sting of his belt once before when she had expressed a wish to be a Healer. Even if it had been for Weaving, she was certain that she would have been beaten regardless. But generally he was genial and kind, even if ignorant about how Kimora pushed her around.
Though he would do the same if he knew.
The thought made her shudder. Falon could never know about why she let Kimora push her around. Kira was surrounded on all sides. And even if she told Falon... She liked Falon. Genuinely liked him. It might even be a touch of love. And the thought of losing him made her want to cry.
The thought of what he might become if he ever discovered her secrets made her want to cry, too.
Her sisters words didn't comfort her at all. But she could bring herself to nod dumbly. She didn't care for her sister's children at all... just reminders that she would have to have some one day... but she wished she could hide them away so her sister couldn't control them. Somewhere they could have dreams and aspirations.
