670 Second Favorite Cousin (2/2)
”I see. Well avoid him back. He will get over it and you two will make up.” He replied and she shook her head.
”He's not mad a me. Just upset over home stuff… your a boy, how can I help him?” She asks batting her eyelashes. He hated when she fixed him with those big blue help me eyes.
”Okay, would you like to come spar with me?” She turned and invited him hopefully. He sighed, she could change modes so fast it wasn't even funny.
”Sure Rain. Let's go spar.” He hopped off the ledge and reached for her hand. Raina smiled brightly, all traces of her sadness gone. The pair made their way toward the training grounds. ”So whose this friend anyway?” He asked kicking a wayward rock off the smooth path. Raina blinked and looked at him like he was silly.
”You, cousin. I know that look on your face. Your hurting. I just want to make that look go away for a while.” Raina admitted and his first reaction was to scoff at her. How dare… she actually be right. Deep down he knew… and the part his father groomed wanted to slap her away. However… the boy the frostlands made him wanted to hug her. He settled for taking her hand.

”Thanks for paying attention cousin.” He swallowed his pride and Raina smiled at him. Her eyes sparkling with mischief.
”Well someone has to take care of you. I am elder.” She replies smoothing her dress with one hand and putting her little nose in the air proudly. He shot her a bit of a dirty look.
”Your older but I'm taller and grandpa's favorite.” He replies teasingly, defending his little boy pride.
”And you never let me forget it.” Raina replied softly her tone suddenly sad. Keen could have kicked himself.
”I'm sorry Raina… I didn't mean to say that.” Keen looked down, shamed.
”It was true though.” Raina admitted and he sighed.
”It was only true because Grandma and Daddy talked bad about you to the Emperor and it wasn't true. None of it, they lied to me too and because of it I didn't treat you so good. I'm sorry, Raina.” Keen admitted honestly ashamed. Raina offered him a smile.
