If Lumia had been a bit more soft-spoken, and Aphra a bit less shrill, perhaps things could have worked out peacefully between the two of them. That wouldn't be the case in this reality, however. Mia wasn't even set off by the comment about Caesar, beyond the girl's gaze narrowing in anger. She no longer felt such an intense fear over the possibility of her father trying to find her. Mainly because she knew that the other members of The Typhoon would defend her, and make sure she was alright. The head Cipher would be ripped limb from limb before he could get close to her, and she was sure of that. Still, what actually managed to set Lumia off was Aphra's words on Vayne. It was painfully obvious that the other didn't understand her own daughter at all. Instead, she was trying to shove words into the other's mouth, and make herself seem as if she were the good guy.
With her tail lashing and twitching behind her, the girl's words finally elevated into a shout, defensive over the niece she had only recently connected with. "Her home was never with you! You were never anything more than a miserable bitch, abusing your children and forcing them around just to get your way! You're not Vayne's mother, you're a ball of scum!" And with that, Lu had snapped. The only warning from her was a short snarl as she launched herself forward, claws out. She knew she had a size disadvantage, but she wasn't about to let that deter her. She aimed to swipe right across Aphra's face, trying to dig her claws into old scar tissue and reopen it. Lumia was trying to cause as much pain and as much bleeding as possible, so that her half-sister would be forced to bolt. Then Vayne would be safe, at least for now.
