Her heart sank when Percy's sharp words hit her ears, making her tawny ears fold against her crown. She wished there was more she could of done for her before and now. The two of them have never been close, no matter how hard Adelayde tried in the beginning. The Avalon girl has always been reclusive and selective of those she was close to, where Ade was always an outsider in the girl's eyes. The words stung, but she understood the anger and hurt Phoenix had to be feeling. The Artemieva wished she could take the pain away from the girl, but the Heavens forbade it. The peppered girl said her goodbyes as her mismatched gaze watched her turn to leave and she didn't turn back into the Rye territory until she couldn't see Phoenix any longer. A sad sigh left her lips as she turned back home, feeling sadder than she had before.
