Elder Quad Valencia sat, eating quietly and listening to all of the conversation in the dining room. Deciding not to be silent anymore, she turned to her brother. "I was thinking about writing to Axel again...er..at least trying to," she told him. Dusty sighed. "It's a losing battle Vee. You know he won't send back. They won't let him," he said, patting his sister on the shoulder gently. "I know, but he did send us those lovely heirlooms," she said, tugging slightly on the locket around her neck. "I guess you could try," he said with a nod. He truly did miss their older brother. He took another bite of his macaroni then sat back, full. |
