"You're an odd boy, Sun...I don't understand why you choose to sleep up there, but whatever suits you! Now run along, before your breakfast gets cold."
?: "I'm going on another trip."
His father announced suddenly. Thalia and Edin looked up from what they were doing.
I've decided to get each of you a gift as this trip will be big money."
His father said, carrying on as if Sun hadn't spoken.
"Edin, what would you like?"
Edin: "A tiny little dagger!"
A wave of sickness washed over Sun as he thought of what Edin could and would do with a little dagger.
"Very well. Thalia, what would like, princess?"
Thalia looked up at Sun's dad with the big doe eyes she always put on for adults.
Thalia: "Can I have a new dress please, father?"
"Well, of course. Any particular colour?"
Thalia looked at Sun with a small, poisonous smirk before looking back at her stepfather.
Thalia: "Light pink please, father."
"Of course. And Sun? Anything in particular you'd like?"
Sun didn’t respond immediately.. he just felt sick to his stomach as thoughts began to flood his mind, after a minute or so.. he’d just look back at his father.. and have some sort of “angered” look..
“…For you to get rid of the ones that wound me so, just like you did with your own son..”
He then turned around.. and walked past his mother, not saying a word as he climbed back up the ladder, tears tempting himself to let them stream, yet he did not let them..
