Illuminous teleported to her father's realm, looking around. She didn't want to stay in her own; it reflected her moods, and in a vicious cycle she was all too aware of, the grey colors and drizzling rain would only make her feel worse. If nothing else, she wanted to ask her father what was going on. "Daddy!" she called out.

Shadow's still sitting in the rose garden, staring at a white rose bush that's slowly dying from the floods of tears that have watering it. "Illuminous," Shadow replies dully, not even reacting to Sombra stepping out of a nearby shadow.

It wrenches her heart to see her father like that. Illuminous hastens to her side, giving Sombra a glower. ~Leave me alone with my Father.~ She slips her little hand into his and squeezes it.

~He's as much my brother as he is your father, brat,~ Sombra hisses, but the look she gives Shadow is pure sweetness and love as she kneels beside her twin. "Oh Shadow..."
"Don't gloat Sombra," Shadow mutters, but with no emotion in his tone as he hugs Illuminous in a way that resembles how a shipwreaked sailor might hold onto a peice of driftwood to keep from drowning.

After a few moments Severance is teleported into Shadow's realm before he takes flight to find Shadow.

Illuminous hugs Shadow back, resisting the urge to give Sombra a triumphant look. "Will you come with me, Daddy? Somewhere else, a little more bright? My realm is so dreary, and I really want to talk to you alone." She snuggles into his arms, reaching deep into her heart for the inner Light she was born with, trying to weave an illusion about herself that makes her seem more like her mother in aural sense. It was a small token of comfort. She was the "lightest' deity in the pantheon now, and she supposed that meant she had responsibilities to shoulder.

Shadow's grip tightens on his daughter but before he can say anything, both he and Sombra's heads snap up at the feeling of a light element entering there realm. The desperate hope in Shadow's eyes dies as swiftly as it came when he realises it's not Light while Sombra just smiles coolly. "It seems we have a guest," she murmurs, stroking Shadow's hair. "Come brother, dear. Let us greet them together... I won't leave you."
"Alright sister," Shadow agrees, not even noticing his acknowledgement of Sombra as family. He gets up, still holding Illuminous, and walks to where he can feel Severance. Sombra follows, smirking at Illuminous.

Severance notices Shadow, Sombra and Illuminious show up. "Greetings Shadow..and Sombra..are you holding out...?" He knows it's a stupid question but he had to break the ice somehow.

Illuminous nestles into Shadow's arms. She won't say anything right now about Sombra, but the second she can get Shadow alone...
And if she can't do that, she'll just speak her mind. It never stopped her before. Right now she's just curious to their visitor.

"We're fine, thank you," Sombra replies, her tone saying she wants Severance gone, as Shadow just looks unhappily at him and says nothing. Sombra steps closer to Shadow, prossively and scowls at Severance.

Severance takes a deep breath. "I have come to check the condition of things here...and..I am worried about how you are handling things Shadow."

"Thank you for your concern," Illuminous remarked politely and sincerely. "Do not mind Aunt Sombra, she wouldn't know manners if it bit her in the arse." She smiles her sweet, impish smile.

Sombra scowls at Illuminous and her fingers twitch in a manner that suggests she'd like to wrap them around the divine child's neck and squeeze. "Hush Illuminous," she replies, then looks at Severance. "We are just fine, thank you. My brother is, of course, upset at his wife abandoning him," Sombra pauses to wrap an arm around Shadow's shoulders and rub his back soothingly. "But I'll take care of that."

"Mother didn't abandon us," Illuminous snarls, suddenly vicious. "She's just taking a little break. She'd never leave me or Father forever!"

"Oh?" Sombra replies, still rubbing Shadow's back. "My mistake. You're probably right, she'll come back eventually..." Sombra smiles fondly at Shadow. "But in the meantime we'll just have to look after each other, won't we brother?" Touching Shadow's hand, Sombra nudges open the connection between the twins' minds, flooding Shadow's mind with concern and affection.
"Yes," Shadow replies slowly, dazed by the rush of emotion.
