Taiga had offered the briefest of waves toward Owen's back when he sauntered off, left with Aisling at the table while her attention juggled between her phone and the bar proper. At some point, Rylan had come in, though the Fae didn't peek at the party in the corner booth to keep tabs. For all intents and purposes, Taiga was struggling to keep her presence grounded in the moment, her thoughts flighty and easily distracted by other topics. Personal topics. Her lashes flickered, brows knitting when the fortune teller spoke, which caused the Fae to snap out of her stupor momentarily to look up and respond. "Huh?" Pausing, she realized she wasn't being entirely responsive, which must have been a red flag for Aisling to follow; Taiga had a habit of rambling. A quiet Taiga seemed out of place, no matter what the circumstances may have been.
A lopsided smile crossed her lips at the thought. "Things have been better." It wasn't entirely truthful, but the Fae didn't know just how she could broach the subject of her deceased sibling. Aisling knew of her sisters, her brothers, her home. Some she had met in the bar over the years, while others were stories Taiga told during coffee dates and walks through the park. Nothing about Taiga was secretive, save for what she did when she was in the company of her charge, but that was mostly out of respect for Nic. After all, if she had someone tagging along on her adventures through the modern world, she wouldn't want them to exploit said adventures without her consent. Besides, as far as Nic went, his life was remarkably dull for a creature of legend. Aisling wouldn't have been impressed with how bland Taiga's work stories were, so the topic received very little traction.
Trying to rid herself of the weight, Taiga pushed her phone across the surface of the wooden tabletop and took a deep breathe in a meager attempt to calm her nerves. Aisling's hand against her arm helped, but the uneasy sensation bouncing around her midsection was really taking a toll on the Fae's demeanor. Her face wore a mask of complacency, but her eyes threatened to shed unbecoming tears. "Des is dead." Just like that, the walls started to crumble, and Taiga's free hand shot up in a bid to cover her crying features. She didn't dare breath so not to sob, nor did she set her sights on the other woman, knowing the aura of despair she carried then was overwhelming enough without a teary gaze tied into the mix. In that moment, something inside Taiga screamed - the weight of her heart dragging the rest of her emotional well being into the gutter.
"I-it's that Vereaux bitch's fault-" Growling, it was the best she could do to avoid sniffling. Taiga hated when she sniffled, hating more that she was crying in the first place. For the time being, everything seemed to earn a modicum or two of hatred. The location, the situation, the logic behind her loss. It was all so agonizingly despicable and there seemed no easy fix.
