Zuqetta smiling at her, beguiling to the bitter end-
-The picture of her father, their father, scrolling down in the scouters screen-
-Screaming up at the ceiling that didn’t look like a ceiling anymore when she was finished with it.
The worst memory, however, was the one just before Zerori had stormed away from her home for the last time. The look on her mother’s face when Zerori had confronted her with the truth she’d been shielded from. The truth that she could have accepted if they’d just TRUSTED her to understand. She couldn’t burn the vision of her mother’s distraught and regretful face out of her mind, even as she noticed that her mother wasn’t as argumentative as she usually was. What Zerori expected to see was that authoritative face and firm voice telling her to calm down and to listen and that she could be made to do so. It never came.
Instead, it felt as if she were fighting a one-sided battle, her justified anger feeling as though she was bullying her own family. So she left. Took her anger and humiliation and aimless feelings and hoped that her mother would know how it feels to be abandoned when hurt.
Zriracha could find her anywhere; they were bonded like that. But fuck if Zerori wasn’t going to make it the most difficult pursuit.
As she approached the palace, trying to jump start her brain to remember where (and if) Ise had told her where she lived, she would lose focus of the Arcosians and plethora of other races that appraised her odd sense of clothing. They didn’t matter, but that lack of focus could allow… really anyone to get the jump on her. Still, running a hand through her hair as she scratched her head, Zerori had more important things on the mind.
"If I were Ise... where would I be? Fuck, I didn't even try to sense for her power before coming here... Ugh," Zerori grumbled softly, beating herself up verbally.
