Where is Talin?
Once T'Challa finishes with his meeting. He goes down to Talin's room, to talk.
----
"Brother!" Shuri smiles, as she approaches T'Challa.
"Shuri, how are you?" T'Challa smiles.
"I see you finished early. Where are you going now?" Shuri asks.
"I was going to find Talin. I need to speak with her privately." T'Challa sighs.
"Oh..." Shuri's smile fades.
-
"Little sister, are you hiding something?" T'Challa asks.
"No, no, no... I just remembered-"
"Shuri..." T'Challa sighs.
-
"Brother I promised, I wouldn't say anything." Shuri shakes her head.
"Shuri, your childish promises-"
"It's Talin." Shuri sighs.
"What about Talin?" T'Challa asks.
"She left." Shuri looks down at her feet.
"Left?" T'Challa asks.
-
"Brother, are you really that dense?" Shuri sighs. "Talin has left with Bell and Amara. They're not coming back!"
"I don't understand, why would they leave?" T'Challa shakes his head.
"Wakanda doesn't feel like home, to Talin." Shuri gives T'Challa a pointed look.
"That's unreasonable. Wakanda is home for everyone, who lives here!" T'Challa tosses his hands.
"Not for Talin! She only knows you, myself, Bell, and Amara." Shuri crosses her arms. "You send Amara and Bell, on missions every hour. Leaving Talin here, feeling alone."
-
T'Challa stares at Shuri.
-
"You want Talin by your side! But you work every day, you ignore her, and you two fight constantly!" Shuri tosses her hands. "We've all noticed Talin is unhappy. But she's been patient with you."
-
It finally clicks for T'Challa.
-
"Where did she go?" T'Challa asks.
"I don't know." Shuri shrugs.
"She doesn't want me, to find her?" T'Challa sighs.
"She told me, 'she's *a Tiger, trapped among Panthers.'*." Shuri smiles, hoping that means something to him.
-
T'Challa nods.
