Eda let out a little sigh as she felt tears start to drip into her feathers. She just kept holding them, both to try and lend comfort and because this might be easier if they weren't quite looking at each other's faces right now.

She wasn't alright, but... she wasn't about to take that out on Raine. Hearing them apologize just made things worse. Just made her think of herself--and of someone else, suddenly. The first time her sister hurt someone while she was the raven beast.
Mom, I heard you but I couldn't stop myself. I... I couldn't do anything.

Everyone was good at blaming themselves, weren't they?

"Raine... Raincloud. Don't. I've spent enough time beating myself up over things the owl beast did to watch you do it, too. And it doesn't even feed off fear like these things."
