[ATBASH CIPHER.]

ATBASH CIPHER

you laugh and smile at me, but you don't see a thing !

"Another Cipher?" Atticus's mocking voice made Atbash recoil a bit, with her glaring at the Roux for a few moments. The mocking tone is what upset her more than the comment itself, but it did rub Atbash the wrong way; Atticus made it sound like she had a choice on whether or not she was born as Caesar's sister. Sure, she could just throw away the Cipher name, but with it being so important to her and giving her a sense of identity, Atbash didn't want to just... throw away her last name. Besides, as far as she knew, Caesar was the only asshole in their family, and while it was likely that the bad actions he made overshadowed his siblings' good actions, Atbash didn't understand why others seemed to hate or distrust her solely on the fact that she was related to Caesar.

Atbash jumped at the wolf's sudden outburst, her fur fluffing out in surprise. On one hand, Atticus was right; she shouldn't be blaming herself for Stryker's actions, but on the other... "Because I was the reason Vigenere got captured in the first place." She snapped back at Atticus before she realized what she said. Looking between Aurum, Moth, and Atticus, the demoness quickly went on to try and defend herself, "I was afraid of what would happen if I didn't. Stryker forced me to tell him, and I thought that maybe with Vigenere there, we could both escape." Obviously, it didn't happen the way she wanted it to.
