ALIA CIPHER-VANTAS
THE TYPHOON
MINNOW
Alia had never seen anyone die, and due to her young age didn't quite know what death in and of itself meant. After her mother had caught Roxanne and Roan talking to her when she had been trying to find friends, she'd been talked to about how she needed to stay away from the Roux family. She knew that if she was seen talking to them, Alia would be in big trouble, but that hadn't stopped her from being curious and wanting to speak to them more, wanting to see what they did. So when one of the Roux family members had held a funeral for someone Alia had never met, she decided that she would go, whether or not Aphra would like it.
Staying back and away from the family in case her mother was to come over and say something, Alia had found herself at the table with the snacks, absentmindedly munching on some of the food that was offered as she watched Goldie and Roxie for a moment, face lax with no emotion on it for the time being. The aura around the place in general was sad, so Alia could only guess that funerals were meant to be sad places, though it confused her. The one they were sad over seemed to just be sleeping, why not just wake her up while she was on the boat?
