Flanys, City in the Snow

[Tall Italian Boy]

Pyne watched Alyxis and smiled softly. He enjoyed seeing the siblings together not fighting.

Devin stood and started wandering toward the hotel, like a half dead man.

Alyxis watched him, wrapping her coat more tightly around herself.  

[Tall Italian Boy]

Pyne watched him as well and then turned to face Alyxis.

Alyxis blushed when she happened to meet pyne's eyes. She turned away and started walking.  

[Tall Italian Boy]

Pyne quickly grabbed her hand and stopped her. "Why do you keep leaving me?" He asked her curiously.

 

[Hiraru Sagara]

"Because you called me soft, and you can't explain what you meant when you said it." Alyxis said keeping her back to him so he wouldn't see her blush.  

[Tall Italian Boy]

"Alyxis, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you." Pyne said as he wrapped his arms around her hugging her backwards.

 

[Hiraru Sagara]

Alyxis gripped one of his arms, and looked up at the snow cloud filled sky. "I'm still angry with you," she said softly, "But... You know why I hate the cold and snow?"  

[Tall Italian Boy]

Pyne shook his head. "No, I don't. Why?" He asked her.

 

[Hiraru Sagara]

Alyxis took a deep breath, "When I was six months old, my mother left us. It took my father two years to find her. As soon as he did he took me and my brother to see her, it was supposed to be special. Where she had gone had deep snow, and it was very cold. My uncle, my mothers oldest brother, had come with us. He watched my brother and I play in the snow while my parents talked. After several hours my father came out and brought my brother in. I was left behind. I remember standing in the snow next to the snow man we'd made for several hours before I went over to my uncle and asked him, if papa was going to get me too. My uncle wrapped me up in his arms and held me, kissing my hair. Then he took me back to the car and drove us to a tiny hotel."

"Nine months later, my uncles and father came and told me I had a sister. I asked if I could see her, this time my father held me tightly and kissed my hair. Three years ago, when my teacher and uncle was killed, I went to my mother's to tell her. She pointed a rifle at my chest when she saw me, and finally it was she who told me, she refused to be the Dylis's mother, and if she ever saw me again she would put a crater in my chest. I felt the cold sink right down to my bones, and I stopped caring about her. The cold, it reminds me of the first cruelty I had to face." Alyxis leaned deeper into Pyne's hold, shivering slightly.  

[Tall Italian Boy]

Pyne wrapped his arms around her and held her close. "I'm sorry Alyxis." He said softly as he held her.

 

[Hiraru Sagara]

Alyxis laced her fingers around his, "Don't be, I'm not."  

[Tall Italian Boy]

Pyne rubbed her fingers softly. "Let's get inside before we freeze to death." He said softly and waited for her.

 

[Hiraru Sagara]

Alyxis nodded, and let him lead her by the hand.  

[Tall Italian Boy]

Pyne held her close as they walked back to the hotel. They entered their room and sat down on the bed.
