She flicked her eyes over to him. "You did better than my dimwit of a little brother."

"I mean, he did get me outta there." It was a weak attempt at defending him, but it was at least an attempt.

She rolled her eyes. "By using his untrained abilities. I mean, come on. He's nineteen thousand, seven hundred and sixty three years old! You'd think he'd be smarter than that. He put you in danger, then had to clean up his mess. Like always."

He shrugged. "I guess I'm more of an optimist." A little harsh, damn.

She shook her head. "Wulfric is smarter than that, and he's the baby of the family."

Once again, all Runner could do was shrug. "I had no clue it was like that, or I woulda just taken the hit."

She sighed. "Sorry. I'm just ranting. I've been gone for thirty years, and I guess I'm just disappointed he hasn't changed a bit. And that I lost my title as heir. Just now, actually."

"Oh, shit. I'm sorry." That probably helped jack shit, but what else could he have said?

She flapped her hand dismissively. "It's alright. At least I know it is going to someone more fit to be Queen than I."

"Still seems like a bummer." He wiped some of the water from his eyes, wishing it would dry quicker.

She raised a brow. "Moving on… Would you like to be less… Watery?"

He nodded, spraying a bit of water everywhere. "Yeah, that would be fun."

She chuckled and twirled her fingers, creating a gust of wind that dried Runner off instantly. "There."

He gave her a small smile. "Thanks, Isla."

He rubbed his hands together in anticipation. "Any clue when the next group goes out?"
group
She tilted her head, pressing her fingers to her temples. "With my superior and ultimate divinity… I say Cinthia and that kitsune."
The latter approached the maze, skittish and blindfolded. Cinthia was seen up in the stands, her mass of curly hair pulled back and out of her face.

"That's a pretty good guess." He watched the poor kitsune shuffle his way to the starting line, shaking his head in shame. "Did I look like that down there?"
group
"Nah. Kitsune are always skittish, and being directed by Cinthia has to be nerve-wracking for the poor thing." She looked to him. "You did pretty well, considering who your partner was."

"Ah, yes, nearly getting eaten alive by deadly devil fish was a good plan." He flashed a sarcastic grin before turning back to the maze.
group
The trial went pretty smoothly, Cinthia effortlessly giving calm orders to the kitsune. When it was her turn to be in the maze, she "helped" her partner out by opening her senses and avoiding the traps on her own.

"Damn," he said, chuckling lightly. "What do I gotta do to do shit like that?"

A hint of a smile softened her features as she watched her little sister. "Extensive training and an open mind. One phrase I hear her say a lot is, 'I thrive in the darkness.' She's used to going in blind."

He frowned. "Oh. Work."

She seemed to hold back a laugh. "Yes. Work. Though my dear sister seems to be a natural at all things related to leadership."

"She's like a big sister to most of us," he admitted. "She kept Tess from mauling me the first time we met."
group
She nodded. "From what I've gathered, Cinthia and Theresa have known each other for three years. They pulled each other out of their dark times, and have been exceptionally close ever since."

"I've known them for a few months now. It's felt like a few years, to be honest." He rubbed the side of his face as he spoke.

She snorted. "Would you believe that the Vanguard was established not even a year ago?"

He nodded. "Seems life is on fast forward around Cin and her group, so I could definitely believe it."
