Azura felt a pang at his tone but pushed through it. She swallowed hard, her initial impulse to say she wanted to know more about him suppressed by a sudden wave of self-consciousness. Clearing her throat, she chose her words carefully. "You just became a Goldborne, Allen," she began, her voice steady but tinged with a hint of nervousness. "And I don't know much about you. So isn't that a normal question? We are cousins after all," she added, trying to sound confident.
But as the word "cousin" left her lips, Azura couldn't shake the bitter taste it left behind. She'd never thought much about family dynamics before, but with Allen, things felt different. The label seemed to create a barrier she hadn't anticipated, making her feel awkward and somewhat distant.
