Ara and Gina's mouths might as well have touched the ground. Their minds seem to have trouble processing what's happening. "Then what happened?" Niether girl is sure who asked that question. After hearing their moms story it'd hard to tell what's up and what's down. 206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5nLLeVfz0

"Hello sister" Theo smirks at her and leans back. "I have questions" Ara can't help but get to the point, anticipation is killing her. "I want to know of our family, of our people" Ara stands tall and lifts her head higher.

"Stop" Theo is normally an extremely calm and grounded person but even he has his limits. Being forced to hear the Two of them bicker about the same bloody thing, going in circles.

"Now what are your questions" Theo looks to Ara whereas Chris is taken a back. He has never seen his brother that way, then again he hasn't known him long. "Can we stay for the season?"

Ara waves her hands frantically in the air, "No, I just didn't know what to say on the spot". 206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9AGq9QOJT

"What a great team we all are" Theo signs and Ara looks at them both and decides then and there. 206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULNHyJLO3M

Gina told her sisters as they parted that she was going to work on her needle work but it was a lie. What she really intended to do was sneak out to the gardens. She needed time to process eveything. She couldn't imagine how that effected her mother. Being sent away from your country, seeing your closest friend and Queen get betrayed. She can't even imagine it. 206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj9XC3q797

"Why do you look so glum, Pretty girl?" She jumps half in the air startled by his voice. "Claudel" Gina hits him in the arm as she calms down. "What are you doing here?"Gina laughs and Claudel looks at her as if she has lost her head. 206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a7mVbFZEc

"It is the middle of the afternoon, is it not?" Claudel informs her and she is completely taken a back. "I completely forgot, I'm so sorry" she explains as turns to face him better. As Gina does she can see that his face has been washed better, hair combed and his Sunday best. Obviously it must be Sunday she deducts and he looks it's nice to see how he cleans up. Claudel usually has tear's in his clothes and covered in ash as he works in a factory. 206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMkkcX1CXo

They meant at a bookstore that Gina snuck out to once before. As a little girl she always wish to shop in a sweet shop or book store.

She quickly shakes her head and this starts a back and forth amongst them. "Well good thing for if you had not knocked me down" he pauses to look take out the book he had kept hidden.

"Okay, fine" He always gives into her wants, "It's about a servant and her mistresses son". Gina feels her checks turn red, "You make that sound so scandalous". She flips through the yellow worn out pages, "Your mind is the only one who is scandalous".

"Hello, Brother" Gina grabs his arm and drags him back to the gardens entrance. The candlelight dances off the wall and the windows sparkle. "You aren't even dressed" Fitz gestures to her gown.
