Chapter 160 - EVO
***Tirnanog, Mount Aerie***

“I still don’t believe this is a wise idea,” I hedged as my sisters giggled like the stupid little hussies they were being right now. They both hushed me with quick gestures while we waited for the plan to come to fruition. What we were up to was truly brain-dead, but supposedly entertaining if my sisters were to be believed.
I was sure if we just talked about this rationally, everyone would agree that there were better ways to deal with our boredom. But just like it had taken me some growing up to approach the world more consideredly, my sisters were now going through the same phase. They had yet to come face to face with the possibility of dying for real.
So why was I now hiding with them on one of the ceiling’s support beams for the molerat stable? Instead of telling our mother what we were up to? I began to question my stupidity for going along with this. Actually, why was I even here? There was no way this plan of theirs would end well.
On one side, getting caught by Mom or Dad would get us in a lot of trouble. They told us in no uncertain terms that the molerat stable and the treemonae forest were strictly off-limits.
On the other, my sisters’ little game had the potential for going sideways in all kinds of horrible ways. Wasn’t it better to just be seen as a boring snitch? I really should have run off and told Mom about this, but doing so now and leaving Aurora and Constella alone seemed a little bit late.
Maybe I should fire off a quick message through the UI and hope that Mom would keep it between us. She was almost assuredly already searching. The messenger who required her attention and allowed us to slip away was at most a temporary distraction.
Not caring for my inner lamentations, Aurora lowered the life-sized doll she made out of sewn-together kid’s clothes and pillow stuffing into the molerat pen. She had the handmade doll on two strings so she could puppet it around in a mockery of the real thing.
