Automne gave a humorless laugh when Casper mentioned giving her brother a beating.

As if something like this could be solved so easily.

Still, she appreciated the older boy's effort to make her feel better. Casper definitely had more social sense than Cyzarine did. When she imagined Russet, when she was young, there had been so many versions of him she had constructed. Was he just like her, or just the opposite? Did he like the things she liked? Did he have a fox tail, like her, or fox ears, the more common manifestation of Faunus? She had no idea.

"Well, all my old friends probably thought I'd died when I disappeared from Menagerie seven years ago. If he'd come back for me after that happened, then he would think that I was dead too. Two siblings, separated fifteen years ago, both believing the other is long dead." Automne rested her chin on a fist. And shrugged when Casper mentioned finding him again. The truth was that she'd already planned out a trip this upcoming summer to return to her home region and find all her childhood friends again. Everything would hopefully be answered then, but right now the conversation had shifted to Cyzarine.

Man, Cyz was a real closed-off kid, huh? Automne had always felt that she could share anything with her grandparents, and they had told her that a good family was one you could talk about your problems with. So why?

"Well, the fallout with Team PRFC was pretty nasty. The whole, what, three days they spent together was one huge shitfest, 'scuse my language. So uh, even if she's been emotionally trained like a soldier, that was a pretty nasty mess for a 16 year old to get involved in. Plus, like, I don't know if she's very aware of it but..." Automne leaned in and said in a hushed voice, "She sort of caused the entire thing?"

She leaned back and gave a sad smile. The doorbell interrupted anything else she might have said, but that was all she could offer anyway.

Automne could hear Cyzarine's footsteps in the kitchen. And she could hear when the regular sound of walking abruptly stopped, signaling that the girl was probably listening in on them. But how could she point out that such a thing was rude?

(Once you get the Bluthardts moving to contact the Dragons, I'll add Zanipher's action to the fray. I don't mind if the focus of the story shifts for now ;) )
