The Hunt: Victoria & Fen
Victoria could tell that Fen wasn't being truthful. It sounded as if Fen's home life wasn't all that great and the reality of it was slowly being exposed to Victoria. Her parents, or apparently adoptive parents as she used their first names, weren't connecting and if they didn't want to spend money on Fen . . . she couldn't really think of a reason why other than the child being thrust on them but even then, that wasn't a very good excuse.
She stepped closer to Fen, "But you have your sister, yes?" That's how she thought of the other girl. She was somewhat sure she heard Fen call her that. Victoria placed her hand on Fen's shoulder, having he face her now, "Not all home lives are easy or nice. But you have a family here at St. Margaret's. Especially in Ladon."
