*~*Lex's POV*~*
After breakfast, which Talia joined us in the dining room for, there was nothing left to do. Talia wanted to finish deciding what she was taking with her to the Underworld and what she might give to her little sister, Zaley, or to a friend. She had a lot to go through and didn't really need any help.
I was sitting in her room though, in a chair in the corner, with a book in my hand. I was paying attention to her, as half my attention was always on her, and if she needed my help, I'd be here for her. At the moment, she was insisting on doing things on her own.
"Huurrraahhh." She grunted, and made a strained sound, as she pulled a large trunk out of her closet. I had offered to get it for her, but she insisted. I think she wanted to stop using me for help now that things had changed between us. I wasn't sure, but I hoped things would get better as time went on.
