Eden tumbled into the small room, shivering violently - though not as badly as her twin no doubt would be after his dunk in the river. She hadn't enjoyed that, and was struggling to justify pushing him. It had been the right thing to do - but had solidifying herself as the favourite been a mistake? Though still, she was sure he would've made her kill her twin - Dixon now - if she hadn't. Still, the feeling of a gloved hand on her head had filled her with a warmth she'd never felt before. She whimpered slightly, the cold nights chill hadn't left her bones yet.

@NOTMORTAL Eden held onto him as though without Cain there she'd fall. Like he was the last thing she had left. Maybe, to her child's brain, he was. "Y-yes," she said, trying to get the words out clearly (after all, Jeremiah got mad whenever she didn't,) "it's 'Eden.' T-that's what he said. 'Eden.'" The small girl looked up, salt still clinging to her face. "I had to push him in. Now he's Dixon, a-and I'm Eden. And he's so c-cold, Cain."

@NOTMORTAL Eden had clearly been training in the harsh way their father preferred. She was covered in bruises from climbing and fighting and falling over and over again. She grabbed the taller boys shirt, burying her face in it - the younger girl had never been so vulnerable. "He named me," she muttered, "dad named me, today."
