Which happened first? Adia asks, and the siblings immediately look away from each other. Anna crosses her arms over her chest and Harrowheart sheepishly plucks at his sideburns.
"He became a worgen first," Anna says stiffly, and Harrowheart absently nods.
Slowly, hesitantly he explains, "I wouldn't have been strong enough to become a death knight if I hadn't been a worgen. I'd be Forsaken at worst, or just... Dead-dead."
Anna purses her lips and fights against saying anything, but she loses the battle quickly. She turns to him and through grit teeth stresses, "Or you'd be alive."
Her brother looks at her, dejected and defeated. The longer he watches her with his dead eyes, the more her anger cracks. Eventually she can't look at him any longer and puts her hands on Adia's. "It was good seeing you," she says, and without waiting for a reply heads off into the crowd.
Harrowheart forces a half-hearted smile for Adia. "Don't worry," he says, because he's sure Adia is going to blame herself for that. "You just go on and have a good time at the party tonight, huh? I got a lotta folks to meet, myself..."
