“She’s my friend and co-worker, okay. It’s really not that scandalous.” He tried this in Veridian but the sentences came out jumbled and inaccurate as he didn’t have the vocabulary to express it. Hopefully Anita could pick up what he meant. The idea being Cain still had not come to the realization that he had done wrong by Akiko because of his interactions with Indigo. In Cain’s mind he was innocent because he hadn’t touched her -- in the sense that, he hadn't touched her with any romantic or sexual intention -- and didn’t want to. Never mind the lies, drugs, suggestive photos, and Indigo’s adverse intentions.
Cain picked up his sandwich and rolled his eyes at his sister who apparently found occasion to continue insulting him. “How long did you say you were staying?” He asked pointedly to signal he was done with her verbal bashing for the time being. He bit down into the simple BLT he ordered, a tomato slid out and flopped limply onto his plate.
Out of consideration for potential shame, Cain policed his eyes away from Anita's hand which refused to function properly for her. It reminded him of unpleasant past memories. He remembered helping his mother drive Anita to physical therapy sessions in the months following their father’s death. Akiko had sometimes tagged along too. They would drop Anita off and sneak away to a nearby coffee shop and bring her back sweets to cheer her up after painful sessions that hadn’t been completely able to restore her functioning.
His ears fell when he was reminded that he had yet to tell Anita about their father. Making a mental note to talk to her about that Cain grunted in response to Anita’s plans for them that weekend. “Whatever you say kiddo.” He wasn’t unpleased with her plans so much as nervous about how he’d breach the topic of their recently un-dead father.
For some reason, Indigo had found occasion to order the pricey lunch special surf ‘n’ turf, almost to one-up Anita’s order. As if by forcing Cain to pay for her expensive meal that she was more special than Anita. Anita ordered a platter of starters and her own meal. Cain had only ordered a simple BLT.
She cut the steak into tiny pieces and ate them daintily between sips of strawberry infused water as she listened to the siblings chatter in Veridian and English, switching between the languages seamlessly. Cain’s ears pinned at the prospect of Anita commandeering him for the weekend and Indigo immediately concluded that he wasn’t as excited for her plans as the idea of going to the rave. She dropped her fork and reached for his ears. “Aw look, he’d rather go to the rave, Anita.” She whined seemingly on Cain’s behalf. Her fingers grazed fur lined ears for just a moment before Cain batted her hands away.
“Could you not!” He raised his voice garnering the attention of curious guests nearby who earned a death glare by Cain. He averted his eyes as the embarrassment caught up with him. He could feel the heat rising to his cheeks. “I hate when you do that.” His voice was much lower, words said through nearly clamped teeth.
Indigo giggled as if it were merely a playful routine they did. As if Cain wasn’t truly bothered by her touch. "So what's the story with your hand, Anita? Sports injury or something?" Indigo changed the topic, displaying yet again that she had no sense of personal boundaries.
