A pair of spindly fingers push together as Moder bends their body sheepishly. Citrine eyes dart between tree trunks, directing their stare anywhere but Sigynβs face. A familiar shame echoes in their cavernous chest. The reminder that they are but another burden to their kin.

Cracked and blood-dampened lips split, revealing sharp, stained teeth. A forced smile. The creature is not nearly as skilled as their parents in lying. Likely she will see through it β she sees through most, as mother says. There is no fooling Sigyn, no.
