He had seen the sun rise, trickling light through both the sea water and the dome surrounding Lythrania. Sitting on his balcony, he had been playing music, he finished a painting and made some progress in a song he wanted to show Aniu when she was home. The guard had told him that his older sister hadn't been home this night and he wondered where she had been hanging out. He was almost getting used to not being able to find his twin sister late at night. But now that his older sister was in town, he had hoped to be able to spent a bit more time with her. Yet, she had disappeared yesterday and Deimos couldn't lie to himself that he was a bit worried about her. So, now that he was sitting in the starting light of the sun, with an instrument in his hands and a tune in his head, he had been waiting. Waiting for Aniu to return home, to see that she was safe and sound. Maybe than, he would be able to get a wink of sleep.
It was Häti, the summon who was sitting next to him, who had noticed the woman walking towards the castle. He whimpered softly, getting his summoners' attention. Deimos placed the instrument on the ground and stood op. He looked over the balcony, but it was too far away to see in what kind of state his older sister was. So, he grabbed his summoners' staff, stuck it in the holder around his waist and whistle Häti to follow him. Together they ran downstairs, hopefully not waking everyone up, and out of the door. "Ani?" He asked, while walking towards her. She looked horrible, she had been crying, but she also looked pale. As if she had seen something horrific. As if someone had hurt her. "Hey, what happened? Where have you been?" He placed his hands on her shoulders and stopped her, trying to get a look at her face. He noticed no bruises on her, not as far as he could see at least. A few marks on her neck, something he had to ask her about later. For now, he was happy that she was home and safe.

+ notes Worried younger brother is worried
You found it intriguing
Then you got to me & left me bleeding
You make me feel like a fool
Her mind was one big clusterfuck of emotions stuck in a web of incoherent thought. She was too hungover to think clearly, too upset to connect the dots, and too nauseous to focus on it any longer. She actually wanted to go and see her sister, but there was no way that Chaska would be awake at this hour. None of her family would be awake at this hour which made her feel even more alone. She didn't want to bother anyone with this either. Gods how was she even going to explain this to anyone. Perhaps it was best if she just went to bed and never woke up again. Tears burned in her eyes again and a soft sob escaped her as she walked to the castle. Thank Lythrana she was atleast home. Oh how she wished Ezriel truly was here now. She could really use someone's support right now.
And almost as if her wish was granted on the spot she heard her name being called. "Deimos? Surprise to see her brother was visible in her eyes. She felt an instinctual force to pretend like she was fine. She was his older sister, he wasn't supposed to see her in a state like this. He shouldn't be the one taking care of her, it was her job to take care of him. Like she had done with both him and his twin sister in their youth. Helping her parents wherever she could. He was her baby brother and she struggled to see him in any other way. Though she couldn't deny feeling a glad to see her brother and she truly had to fight the urge to break down at his feet. She quickly wiped away any of the last escaped tears on her cheeks as he stopped her. ”What are you doing here? Why are you awake? Have you slept at all?” Worry took over when she noticed the tiredness in his face and eyes. Deflecting his questions, though not entirely on purpose.

He was worried, of course he was worried. He hadn't seen his sister all day and now she came back running with tears in her eyes and marks in her neck. And still, still she was more worried about him. He might have been the younger brother, he was still the man here. He had to take care of his sister, as she absolutely looked like she needed him. Or anyone at least. So, he held her close, giving her the space to cry if she wanted to. "No need to worry about me. What happened to you? Who did this to you?" He asked her while he once again let his eyes go over her body. She didn't seem to be hurt or hurting. Yet, it looked like someone ripped her heart out and ate it in front of her. She looked pale, with puffy eyes and visibly shaken. He hadn't seen her nor his twin sister like this, but he had seen some other girls getting their hearts crushed by assholes. Which made him wonder who was in his right freaking mind to hurt such a wonderful lady like his older sister.
He softly stroked her back, hoping to be able to calm her a bit down. "Come, let us sit down." He suggested, while he gestured her towards the seats on the patio. After placing her on one of the seats, he crouched down before her and took her hands in his. "Which bastard do I have to beat up for you?" He said, with a weirdly stern voice and an angry spark in his deep brown eyes. He was willing to help Ani, because nobody, nobody, would hurt one of his sisters.
