High school seemed to bring some of that weary energy back to her brother, she reflected on the days fondly as short as they were. Hugging his heavy head into the crook of her neck, she took comfort that they could still have nights like this. Caressing the soft, short hair at the top of his neck, she combed her gentle fingers through his silky curls. Reminding herself to sit him down for a haircut soon, she watched the credits mostly stuck in her own head.
She knew these days were limited, soon he would be deciding what he wanted to do after he finished his public schooling. His eighteenth birthday was on the horizon, only a week away, she resolved to sit him down soon to talk about his options after. They had discussed it before and he had expressed some interest in horticulture, though his never-ending curiosity about the Agency didn’t ever seem to be satisfied. She had been careful with their money, putting away a significant portion to fund his college or university courses if he chose that option.
But just for a little while longer, she could hold him in her arms and protect him from reality and hope with everything she had he wouldn’t follow in their parent’s footsteps. Though she also worked there, an assistant was a far cry from an active Ambassador position where he would be put in the same danger that took their parents. She had always been so vague with describing where she worked, hoping to throw him off the idea. Niki refused to outright lie to her brother, but there were moments she wondered if when she gave into his questioning he would immediately run off to join them.
