CLEOPATRA IS THE ONLY ONE YOU LOVED ► It never occurred to her that his family hadn't looked for him. She had always assumed that he had just run away from home, too scared and too weak to uphold the customs he was expected to fall into. When he says those words, says that they never searched, that he never hid.. it stops Stormy in her tracks. It makes her shut up immediately, her mind racing as she considers this. He could be lying, after all, but why would he? Who would willingly lie about their parents not caring enough about them to go to all lengths to find them? The next thing he says leaves her without words. She's starting to see the truth of it all, hearing the honesty spilling from his words. There's still distrust in her, an unwillingness to admit that he could be right, that she had no fucking idea what she's talking about. But now, suddenly, she's starting to see reason. "It hasn't been easy for me, Fernando. Do you think I liked being picked up after my mother abandoned me, to be taken into a family like the Silph's and groomed to be everything that I wasn't born for? I know that I'm a nobody, Fernando. I hoped to find my family with you, with our siblings. I didn't, because... " she trails off suddenly, unsure how to finish that thought. Why hadn't she fit in? If she was being honest with herself, it's because she wasn't sure she'd wanted to. Being forced to fill in the shoes of a missing Fernando, expected to pose as a Silph, to meet their standards of perfection, it was exhausting. It's occurred to her now, though, that perhaps Fernando hadn't wanted any of this either. She brings the conversation back around to what he said earlier, disbelief colouring the emotion in her voice. "Did they not look for you? They just.. gave up the minute they got tired of looking? That's.."Fernando's reference to her birth name is like a slap in the face. There's unease in her heart, there's confusion. It's almost as if it's final, as if Fernando has truly made it clear and cut that Stormy is no longer welcome in the Silph family. She hasn't even whispered her mothers name in years, the sound of it making her blood boil and her stomach clench.
