**everything i wanted—Billie Eilish** (this song is for Aunt Nyra and the emotions she can't express)
When Ember and Aunt Nyra were alone in her room, she turned to the woman.
"Aunt Nyra, what did Madam Valkarian mean earlier?" She asked.
Aunt Nyra sighed in feigned exasperation. Feigned because Ember knew how to read the woman like an open book. The act was an attempt at comedy to make Ember let go of asking anything in the first place.
When she noticed that Ember wasn't buying her act, she shrugged. "Fine, I shall tell you." She said in resignation, "I and the family head of the Zevrani Family have some entanglements of some sorts you could say."
Ember frowned. "Entanglements of some sorts? With the Zevrani sire?" she repeated, already suspecting what Aunt Nyra was going to say.
