"I still can't believe you picked her," Ciron scowled, staring down at the ground as he stalked away from camp. His eyes narrowed as he glanced up at his companion. "Or... maybe I shouldn't be. But I'm disgusted." Veldr rolled his eyes, lingering slightly behind the younger pearlcatcher as they moved along the shoreline. He glanced over his shoulder, judging their distance before replying. "You realize saying 'no' wasn't an option, right?" "Of course it was optional - " "No. It wasn't." Veldr hissed back, shaking his head. "Not if we're going along with your idiotic plan. Not if we're trying to seem fine with all this. Altiel decided that was my reward, and you think he would have been fine if I said no?" "But then why did you pick her?" Ciron spun on his heels to face him, eyes flaring as he snapped back. "He gave you a choice! You could have picked anyone! Hell, you and Pox get on alright, even Vera, Blair... but no. You go for some random... child that got dragged in!" "That's exactly why I picked her," Veldr stamped his talon as he shouted. "Altiel offered her to me, which means he'd offer her to the next guy who he decides to 'reward' with a godsdamn person. Now she's claimed, and no one will mess with her." "So, you're - " "I'm adopting her - for now, at least," Veldr's ears flicked backward. "I'll take her with me when I get out of here, find her a nice clan and leave her there. Let her have a life, you know." "You're not going to try to take her back to her actual clan?" "Oh for gods' sake, Ciron," Veldr just sounded tired as he pinched the bridge of his nose. "She doesn't have one anymore - none of those girls do. They'd all just fly back otherwise. Are you forgetting where you are?" "No - " Ciron replied quickly, shaking his head. "I - I'm just... having trouble..." "You really never had any plan, did you?" It was more of a statement than a question. Ciron opened and shut his mouth silently. Veldr paced idly, digging his talons into the earth. "So it really comes down to this: I gave you to Altiel, and I got a reward. I did exactly what... he wanted. Lightweaver's gaze, I..." He turned back to face Ciron, his expression grim. "Look, you need to figure your own crap out. And fast. I'm not going to help you. I'm - I'm not helping you. I'm not going to wait around for you to figure out what you want to do anymore." "You can't just leave - " Ciron snapped, taking a step toward Veldr - who immediately  hopped backward. "I can absolutely leave!" he snarled, once more stamping his foot into the ground. "I don't owe you anything, Ciron! I'm not your friend, I never wanted to be one of Altiel's men, and I'm sick of being a godsdamned prisoner!" "Where are you going to go?" Ciron asked, barely recognizing his own voice for how weak it sounded. "I don't know," Veldr replied flatly. "I don't have anywhere to back to either. Someplace new. Someplace far." From behind him, Ciron noticed two figures approaching from the distant camp. "People are coming." Veldr glanced over his shoulder, judged the distance, and let out a quick sigh before leaning toward the younger pearlcatcher and speaking quickly and quietly. "Listen, Ciron, Altiel doesn't care about you. He doesn't care about anyone here. He cares about what you represent. Don't forget that." And then Veldr turned and walked off, nodding politely to the guards as he passed them on the way to the camp. It was the last Ciron saw of him.
