          Eyes searched the girl’s face momentarily, the way she held herself, hunched up shoulders and a look that told him she was feeling l o s t. He had been wary of Skaikru, unsure of their intentions, or what they m e a n t to do with them... But he could not look this child in the eyes and SHUN her.  Eyes flitted to his son momentarily, who gave the skaikru girl a glance before finally faintly nodding toward his father.

                                     “ Echo... “

             Hands reached out, cupping her face for a second, then letting it fall to her hands, instead keeping a hold of them as he searched her face. “ And why is that so wrong? “ questioned the young man, the faintest shake of his head. “ What is wrong with feeling the way you do? “ he swallowed, licking his lips once before looking down at her hands, breath being taken in. “ You cannot think, I make you dizzy, weak, you say? I have never seen a woman stronger than you, Echo. Never. And to FEEL... To feel doesn’t mean you are WEAK. It means you CARE... As I too care for you. And you may hate me for it, you may scorn me for it, I do not intend to have that change how I feel for you. How y o u make me feel... “

       “ And there will be chance for them yet. “ commented the man as he sat aside his sister in all but blood, a heavy sigh being given. This whole ordeal was... Disheartening to say the least.  Wonkru was a nice touch, but harder to actually have happen. It was the hope of a c h i l d, because no matter how he looked upon it... Octavia was still just a child... Could’ve been no older than his oldest sister... Still younger than him, but oldest of three... A breath was taken in, back resting to the wall as he looked up to the ceiling. He m i s s e d Floukru, often...

     “ Once we are above earth again, I shall show you the sea... How it plays and how it rages, I shall show you the beauty and the dangers... I shall show you how to track and how to spot, how to hide, when needed. “ he reached out, flicking her nose ( a thing he often had done to his younger siblings ).

           Who am I? Do you mean where I'm from? What I one day might become? What I do? What I've done? What I d r e a m ? Do you mean ... what you see or what I've seen? What I fear or what I dream? Do you mean who I L O V E? Do you mean who I've lost? Who am I?  I guess ( WHO I AM ) is exactly the same as who you are. Not better than. Not less than. Because there is no one who has been or will ever be exactly the same as either you or me.

she smiled looking into her beautiful eyes and then down at the flowers adria had formed into crowns. “maybe you’re right but….i don’t know adria, they seem bigger and brighter when you’re around them.” she teases playfully, her hand ready to gently take the flowers that adria offered to her to hold, how beautiful the colorful petals were in her grasp; luna held them delicately and she drank in the sunrise colors of blue and purple, the kiss of the sun in orange and peachy shades, it was so beautiful and she held it carefully, then watching as adria ran to raven to give one to her, her eyes meeting raven’s while she was paused from work for the gift; it seemed she could never keep her eyes from connecting to raven’s when they were in the room together. surely it was becoming something to whisper about, the two of them staring at one another from across whichever room they happened to pass through at the same time during that days when chores and work filled their hours.

adria bounced back to her side and she smiled at her, still holding the flowers delicately and then she placed it on her curls, “i think we should invite raven to come with us, and aspen i haven’t been able to find her. have you seen her hiding anywhere?” she asks, her fingers gently brushing back a few of adria’s curls. “i want to make a flower crown for you.” adria needed one as well and she had put so much thought into making one for her and raven, that now luna wanted to see the pretty petals resting on adria’s head as well. “we’re going to plant them.” she answers, nodding back. “there’s all kinds of seeds, and i don’t know what most of them are so…i suppose we’ll have surprise flowers.” she smiled and kissed her little one’s cheek and then lifted the young girl up into her arms. “do you think that we should ask raven if she’d like to come with us?”

" I breathe colour into them. " came the joking reply of the younger girl, eyes glistening up as she looked up at her nomi, feeling a certain pride swelling in the pit of her stomach. Because Luna always, a l w a y s believed in her... And made her feel happy and safe.  Even when things weren't so safe, she knew the other would always be there and protect her. She had done so ever since they had met... She was just super relieved that both Reivon and Luna liked her gift! It was little, and perhaps not as valuable as some would like it to be ( she knew to Luna it meant the world, however ).  And she also knew how her nomi's eyes wandered to Reivon... She could see  there was SOMETHING between the two...

And she knew her nomi l i k e d the other... perhaps there were subtle ways she could nudge the two together. Spending more time with Reivon seemed something Luna would not object to.
