Evangeline Caliver
She lay down near the border, her gaze searching the outside world. She stayed away from the dens for a while.. in case something else was going to happen.. again. Evangeline was growing to her teens, and she knew that she had to be stronger, but she just.. couldn't. She hated this war.. she wanted it to all be over. Severus had been ignoring her lately, she had no idea where Edmund was, she didn't want to talk to anybody else for the fear that that she would be weak. She had adapted more to the snow than before, thanks to her long coat. Evangeline just seemed.. lost, and a shell of her former self. She had no idea why, but she just seemed different; she wasn't as energetic anymore, and she had grown distant. Was it an urge to get away from it all, or was it just her imagination. She groaned, looking towards the den under her little cherry blossom tree and she went in it, curled up and just thought endlessly.

Iarri Kannon
The newly chilled air wasn't much of a bother for the Hollowed Blood-beast. Her normally short to medium red fur was now thick, heavy and extremely warm. But with all the snow came little to no medical flora. So some distance had to be taken in order to retrieve stock. It was on one of those excursions that Iarri came across one of the Commander's children. The younger 'ess looked a little down in the dumps. Perhaps she had a cold coming on. Most of the young that were experiencing their first winter were unable to avoid the sickness that came with the season. Iarri had already ridden out a cold. It was a miserable thing to have to endure. So might as well nip it in the butt before it got too bad. Iarri turned away from the border and made her way after Evangeline. "Are you alright?" Her asked kindly, unaware that Eva wasn't ill.

Evangeline nodded, "Yes, miss." she said simply, "I'm not sick, it's just.. meh.. I don't wanna talk about it." she said, letting out a long sigh, shaking her head.

Iarri Kannon
Miss. What a polite girl.. Though 'Miss' kind of makes me feel old. The healer mentally mused but did not inwardly linger. "If you say so." She said quietly, not wanting to push the other. "But there is such a thing as 'Doctor/Patient Confidentiality'. Meaning, if you ever do want to talk about it but have no one to tell I make for a great listener, and no one else would ever know about it." The Caliver was clearly far from happy and Iarri's caring nature would not allow her to just leave the girl alone. At least now Evangeline knew she could talk to someone if she wanted. And it left the red 'ess semi-satisfied. But Iarri had other things she needed to be doing. "With that said, you can just about always find me in the healer's den." She added lightly before offering a kind smile, turning, and making her way back toward the border.

Caitlyn Caliver
The older girl had watched Iarri and Evangeline from a far. She had heard a bit of yelling and earlier, and now she watched as her youngest half-sister seemed to mope pitifully so. Part of her felt no need to go down there and talk to her. She wasn't Evangeline's mother, Ryssor was. And she felt no obligations towards this side of her family either. But the other part of her sighed and caved in and she moved towards Eva. "What's wrong, Evangeline? You may not want to talk about it, but surely you can at least vent a little about life itself, hmm?" She murmured softly, keeping her tone quiet after the healer had left. She laid down beside her, a few feet away.

Evangeline pricked her ears, noticing her half sibling, Caitlyn, "C-caity?" she murmured, then she lowered her gaze, "I.." she started, before she sighed, "I hate this war, and I'll have to be proven useful someday. It's just.. I don't know how. I know that you might say 'You're too young to think about it, enjoy youth while you can'. I just want it to be over so everybody could stop suffering and stop being so busy.." she murmured, shaking her head, "All my friends are either busy, spending their own time by themselves or just ignore me." she started to cry, "A-and I know that we share the same father, and I know he's busy with commander duties.. but it's like.. I feel ignored by everybody else. And Edmund.. so far, he's the only one I can talk to, besides mother and father.. he's a great friend if not, my best friend.. but he's probably doing something else. I just feel so alone, and that's why I spend most of my time out here to be in my own little word and to be myself. I'm afraid to make new friends because they're either messed up in the head, too young, don't share the same interests as I do, or they would think i'm weak when i'm trying my hardest to improve myself! All I do right now is cry and do nothing but be miserable.. and I just want father and everybody else to notice me for who I am, not just the commander of Meurtrier's daughter.." she then hugged her older sister, her gaze full of sorrow, "W-was.. your life with.. with Stella and Cocaine.. normal?" she asked, wiping away her tears.

Caitlyn
Caitlyn's lips quirked slightly at the nickname automatically bestowed upon her. Seems like she was going to have to get used to that one. First Neraine, now Evangeline, but a heavy sigh escaped her after she listened dutifully to the young girl. "Actually, for starters, I wouldn't have said that at all." She reached her tail over to gently flick a lock of Eva's mane out of the young girl's face, her tone a gentle tease. However, Caitlyn patted the space right beside her, encouraging Eva to come and curl up with her. "You are young, that is true, but you've also been through a lot as a cub. Cubs during war normally grow up much faster than us adults would like, despite our hardest to prevent it. So no, you aren't too young to be having these thoughts." She began, if Evangeline came to her, Caitlyn would drape her tail across the young 'ess back.
"Life... With our father and my mother wasn't all peaches and roses. We were trained pretty hard, and our dad wasn't as kind as he was now actually - and I'll admit that was quite a nice change to come back to. But in all honesty, I didn't get to know Dad all too well, or my mom. I... Kind of accidentally lost my way one day when I was exploring outside of the terrain. I couldn't find my way back - instead ended up wandering further and further. Took a while to begin finding my way back and it was only about two months ago when I finally did come here." For whatever reason, it wasn't too hard to share her history with Eva.
Caitlyn breathed in, closing her eyes momentarily as she thought back. "So think of it this way - there's a lot going on, and you may feel alone, but you aren't - at least, not as I was. Being alone would mean you have absolutely no one around you like when I traveled - but you have a whole pride behind you hun and many things to do. You have your mom too, whereas mine is no longer around and I don't even know where she went off to. You have me, and all of your siblings." Caitlyn offered Eva a smile. "You just gotta look around."
Then she rolled half onto her side, a paw placing on Eva's shoulders. "As for improving yourself and being useful... Well, first things first - just don't let others get to you. If you let others words or actions affect you so easily, then they'll always know they can put you down. Just gotta brush it off, like water off a ducks back, ya know? And in all honesty - you'll always be looked at as the Commander's daughter. Just as I will. But it's your actions that prove yourself to be your own identity as his daughter. I was gone for over a year and yet I came back and instantly jumped into the pride. I didn't even let anyone take the chance to tell me that I'm pathetic for having been gone so long - or make up any rumors about me. And hell, if they did, I'd rip their tongues out." She gave Eva a little wink, a grin coming across her face. "Just be yourself hun, and don't worry 'bout others. Just worry 'bout yourself for now and doing what you wanna do. That's the first step in improving yourself."

Evangeline listened intently, her gaze curious and full with pride, "Oh.. I'll try. Can we try and talk to dad if he's not busy? Please?" she said, looking up to her half sister with puppy eyes, "I wanna improve myself now."
