((OOC: A collection of short stories, RPs, drabbles, shorts, and ficlets surrounding the story of two sisters from a nearly extinct clan as they both strive to rebuild what they have lost with the help of the allies and companions they collect along the way. As well as the dangers...))

What did people know about broken?
Tatters.
Shambles.
Shards of a consciousness. Shards of a person.
Her eyes closed. She could see the clan's safe house in her mind's eye. The sight of Kiht as she was greeted. Rinh'li in his chair away from people. The topless female breastfeeding a kit. R'shenn standing at her sister's side. The scent of cooked meat.
Miah the unknown Matriarch who was no longer around. She'd have to look into that.
Broken.
Broken.
Broken.
Stubbornly, she rolled over and gave her pillow a agitated smack. Fucking people.
