Emilia seemed relatively surprised by Aeizith's sudden words. She hadn't anticipated that he would be reasonable, she expected to walk into a tantrum about how evil she was and how all the wrongs in his life were her fault. He wouldn't have been entirely wrong, she knew her methods were crude and only as effective as others would let them be, she could never blame him for this. That is why, despite everything that happened now, she felt no more anger and no more resentment for her little brother.
It wasn't because she hated him, it was because she always preferred to hide behind that facade of power, strength and discipline. It helped her retain control and that had fallen apart in their previous encounter and although she would never openly admit it, she felt partially responsible, even if she knew Electi forced her hand.
''You're not my servant, you're my little brother. No matter how stupid you sometimes might be.'' she kept her eyes on Aeizith, no sign of real emotion in her eyes as she finally spoke the truth, not that calculated truth, but the truth that came from the heart she did have beating in her chest, despite all odds. ''Your mate is not relevant, whom you think suits you is for you to decide, not I.'' she paused, nudging her head to look at Amira for a split second before turning back to Aeizith ''It does not matter whether you are worthy of the blood in your veins or not, one way or another it is Black-Hearth blood, always is and always will be, just as Eira will always be my sister you will always be my brother.''
She sighed, feeling her self slip into that uncomfortable soft nature she hid deep within the bowels of her very being. It wasn't pleasant to her, it meant letting go, letting control slip for even a minor second was terrifying to the control freak that was Emilia, but for her family she did it, for once in her life. ''You could never disgrace me, you're my little brother. I have not been the perfect elder sibling either.'' she let a modicum of regret surface on her face now, showing that indeed, behind the cold facade did rest a living being. ''Raising you, Kaida.. heck even the big child Electi had not been how I imagined it. I'm a terrible mother figure, no need to deny it.'' she looked up at the sky, letting those words drift through her own mind for a moment. ''But not once do I regret it, not once do I regret bringing you all here, with me. Believe it or not, I do care.. but violence is all I know.. All I let myself know.'' she let out yet another sigh ''I wish it were different. But I am simply not capable of expressing myself in any other way and the fact that you and the others fought me only furthered that anger.''
Her gaze grew neutral again as she took back control and stopped letting her emotions speak, not because she had a sudden change of mind but because she felt she had said enough, at-least for now. She snickered as Kaida stepped closer and spoke her words. ''I suppose so.'' she simply stated, for once not letting her immediate defiance speak.
