Zephyra hadn't spoken much since the rest of the harem had left, but Ilsandra had done her best to get her to open up anyway.
It used to be so easy...but now her old friend didn't say much at all, and still held a grudge against her, despite everything that had happened, and all she had said.
If they had done the same thing to protect their children, she wouldn't have been angry like they were. You could have only one, after all. How did they not understand how precious that was?
Maybe it was because they had never had their own. Maybe it was because they were just jealous of her. Maybe......maybe it was all just because everything was so tense and nothing was certain. Perhaps it had nothing to do with her at all.
It was hard to tell since no matter what she tried, Zephyra just hadn't opened up - and clearly she hadn't forgiven the red-head every time she scoffed at her advice, or pushed her away.
Still; she didn't give up.
