Well, queen's give off an air of elegance. It was the best way to describe you.

[Ardea nods.] Yes. I'm a gardener, you're a librarian... isn't it nice not to always be a queen and a princess?

[gelum]

Always the flatterer.

[ Her chest feels less tight now. Eirwen rests her forehead against her sister's. Talking like this... ]

Nicer than I ever thought I deserved, really. In even my wildest dreams, I was never not a queen.

[sunshineprincess]

I'm only telling the truth! You're amazing!

[Ardea gives her sister a soft smile.]

I like not being a princess. We're just like everyone else here. No more bowing, courtesies, having to practice manners all the time. It's so nice.

[gelum]

Really, Ardea, you're going to make me blush.

[ But she returns the smile, tucking a strand of hair behind her sister's ear. ]

You get to be free.

[sunshineprincess]

So do you!

[Let's be free together.]

thread end?

[ Eirwen's answering smile is a less careful one, more genuine. She squeezes Ardea close, just holding her for a moment. ]

No more closed doors--for real this time.

Yes!

[sunshineprincess]

[Ardea smiles as she returns the embrace.]

Good. I'm glad.
