Kimora studied her sister's face as she spoke, taking in all the emotions that played on there. Kira was an open book, at least to Kimora, at least to the woman who knew what a shame she was to her family. Giving a snort, she turned towards the fruit and began to peel and slice it. "Good. We might have to move the date of the espousal up. I know right now you've given some vague words, 'soon', 'this year', but those aren't nearly good enough. To keep him interested and wanting, you'll have to have a date! That way, father can rest in peace."
She eyed Kira. "And you will make me rest in peace, as well, dearheart. I want you settled. I am perfectly happy. You've seen me have five beautiful children - sons, at that! - and there is no reason for you to think that you'd be a failure at it. My recommendation is to stop feeling sorry for yourself. It isn't all that bad. It will hurt the first time, but that's normal, and then all you have to do is lie there as he takes his pleasure with you." Kimora shrugged.
But she also saw how Kira flinched at the thought. "Oh, stop being such a child!" Her hand flashed out to slap Kira. "You're a grown woman. Just deal with it. Father wants to see you happily married off. And he deserves grandchildren, for having to deal with you and all your idiocy and wildness. I still can't believe you would deny him that!"
A derisive snort escaped her. "My daughters won't be nearly so wild. I expect the exact same of them. How else would they bring honor to the family? They aren't going to be so foolish as to think they want an education, or think that they could be Crafters!" Those words were specifically aimed to bring Kira down. She was on a high horse, thinking that she could dare learn and upset her place in society. Idiot, truly and idiot.
