Guilt ran through her in waves, the likes of which she had never before experienced.Though she knew the reasoning behind what was happening, knowing that she was splitting up a family did not sit right with her. The young Hex wished that she knew of a better way, one which would ensure that the siblings would remain at one another's side, that meant their mother would not be filled with remorse or regret. One wrong move, from her or the child, would spell disaster, and it would be all her fault.
Never had she felt such responsibility before now. But it was something she would have to adjust to. A student she may have been herself, yet the Journey she found herself upon lent itself to training others as much as it did being taught. Valuable skills were to be learned throughout the process, and both could grow as individuals throughout.
As they ventured out of the large building which served as the Family's home, and into the wonderfully landscaped yard at the front, Asha allowed her gaze to drift to the boy at her side. He was younger and smaller than she, but only just in both departments. She knew that in a couple of years he would tower over her, as so many of her associates did. Would it bother him, that his tutor was so young? She hoped not.
Swallowing back her insecurities she offered him just the slightest of smiles, one filled with warmth and understanding... And an apology.
"I know how difficult this must be for you," she offered, her voice light and almost whimsical, "But I promise that you can speak with your family whenever you wish, I'll make sure that a holo-comm is set up in your room so that you can see your sister no matter the time of day, and arrangements will be made so that you can see one another from time to time..."
Not perfect, by anyone's standards - but it was something.
