Wildfires and Weeds

Lyric was overjoyed to see Aki again, much sooner than she’d expected, but realised she’d been rather vague on certain details when she’d filled Tiberius in on how she ended up being used as a pawn by her parents. The mention of Aria made her realise she was going to have to come clean on the rest of the details and hope that Tiberius wouldn’t be terribly upset, but learning she could trust him had been a journey, not something that happened all at once.

Tiberius, there's something I need to tell you, and it's incredibly important. I haven't been entirely honest with you, and I'm sorry for that. I need you to listen to me, and please try to understand, I had to protect them you see. She took a deep breath, looking from Aki to Tiberius, realising in that moment that she was becoming quite fond of Tiberius and would be devastated if her lack of details caused a serious divide between them.

Aki has been my lover for a number of years, and we have a daughter together, Aria. They were the ones my parents were threatening, the ones I’ve been protecting. She thought about also explaining the fact that they were polyamorous, but figured Tiberius probably had enough to digest at the moment without getting into the semantics of how their relationship was defined.
