As the Darkness posed its question, the frost let out a frigid breath. Lanesha was unwilling to answer, even as her brother pressured her on. This was merely the type of question that shouldn't be answered.
Not yet, at the very least. She didn't feel like answering it yet.
"So..."
Valus sighed, seeing his sister remain silent.
"This is your choice?"
Lanesha looked up at Valus, and in his eyes she could see his sorrow, guilt, and regret, but she chose to stay silent even further. She knew no matter how much she disappointed him at this very moment.
The secret was with her, Valus wouldn't use his eyes on her, no matter what line she crossed, because at the end.
She was family, and the house of Death valued family above all else. Valus would never use his omnipotent eyes on his younger sister, she was sure of it.
"Fine."
And as she expected, he had retreated. The darkness surrounding the throne room receded as Valus turned around.
