Pat pat.

"Mmn."
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgZhV8NVVF
Pat pat, the small hands came down on her exposed cheek in harsh slaps.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVS9k06C09
Sonata turned her head away and tucked it back under the blanket. The smaller one tore it away.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmti9mVNef
"Sis, wake up!"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTTN83Xa54
Sonata's consciousness slowly drifted back into the normal realm. She rubbed the crustiness from her puffy eyes and dry sticky cheeks, aftermath from a night of crying.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHXYdPSGxk
In front of Sonata, a small child, maybe five or six years old, sat with her messy bedhead of yellow curls tumbled over her plain brown dress with a vine of red flowers embroidered into the collar. Her peridot-green eyes were exactly like Sonata's, except her's were more like emeralds, a trait that ran in the royal family of their father's side. She looked very concerned.

Sonata sat up, dusting the sandy ground of the cave off her arms and legs as she tried to remember where she was and what she was doing there. It was hard, her mind was covered in a comfortable blanket where everything was a blur, and for whatever reason she wasn't sure how much she'd actually slept last night.

"Sophia?...Whats wrong?" She asked, reaching out to caress the younger being's head, and also undo those knots. Sophia had a thing for being completely unaware of the state of her hair, which despite looking as cute as herself, was always a labrynth of random leaves and sticks and food, if no one helicoptered over her.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxPHTOlzQT
The smaller being's eyes met her older sister's. Sonata stopped playing with her hair. "Okay, I'm up. What do you want?"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcf9dfraWr
"Where's Mama?" Her small voice was broken. Sonata's heart throbbed as the memory came back. She wondered how long it'd taken her sister to look around before she'd come to wake her up.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemVyXdxvxY
Would she give her the responsible answer or the honest one? Her sister was old enough to call her out on her lie, and it would only hurt her more, Sonata figured, if she had to figure it out on her own. Could she stand to see what would come after, though, that was the question.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M6AYfye9y
"...She went to find Papá." Sonata said quickly, brushing off the rest of her legs and standing up. Sophia looked from her older sister to the exit, the worried face still there.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Io3TvKkjZ
"Where's that? When is she coming back?"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gHF7o2Dtq
Sonata put her hands on her lips, and swallowed her feelings down. "Who needs Mamá?"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx98NHCoNd8
Sophia frowned. Sonata smiled.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFJZtM14ih
"We have the entire Summer to ourselves, until she comes back. We're free to spend it however we'd like! What would you like to do first?"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElmxMT29dO
Sophia stared back at her sister, weighing her options in her mind behind those frowning green eyes.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbib86szEPu
"Hm..." A realization seemed to come to her. "We're done traveling?"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXyMkC5vZy
Sonata nodded.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGW2zYRpIp
"And we don't have any lessons?"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn68i70RAE
"Yup! And no one's going to stop us. We can do anything we want...so long as it's safe." She cocked her head. "But even then, we can just run back and hide in the cave if something goes wrong. We have this entire corner of the forest all to ourselves. How do you want to start off this glorious day?" Once she stared talking, it was easier. Sophia was so much easier to excite than the other adults she knew. By the time she was done, a small glitter had ignited in the small girl's eyes.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPdGpCl9yo
"Hehe! We can make flower crowns!" The little princess clapped her hands together.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbKxkbZhOd
Sonata's head stayed cocked. "...You already have a circlet. A real one. Made of gold."
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK4hSgNyoZ
"But flower crowns though!" Sophia bounced up and down, except it was more of a fidget because her feet never left the ground. "I never got to make one...because the nurse thought they were a waste of flowers!"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzRfwEhUpw
Sonata smirked, a little bit of her bubbliness leaking though.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7pb8UNaK5
"Is that what you did when I first started having lessons?" Sonata teased, remembering the days between when they used to play together all day and when their parents finally relented to letting Sophia stay in the same room as her during lessons because she threw a tantrum every time Sonata had to go study.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceE685maC7
"Those were the dark days." The blonde stated, a little too darkly for her petite image. "...Wait a minute. Sis, we need mama, do you even know how to make flower crowns?"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8omlqhjV3
Sonata frowned. "I can learn. It couldn't be that hard. But first let's eat, we can't go out hungry."
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DuUG0UVwD
"A proper princess never eats till her tummy is full." Sophia informed.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTaRMvqGzv
"Well, unlucky for you, I'm not a proper princess." Before she could react, Sonata had tackled her little sister to the ground, the scales on her head that'd patchwork-meshed together to form a skin texture reverting back and some of her horns becoming visible again. Her hands had reverted back to claws.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnBCoRodEK
Hissssss!
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yBBYjAxgn
Sonata stared blankly for a few seconds, then laughed. "What kind of half done dragon form is that?"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7uA5ktQjb
Sophia pulled back in disappointment, liking at her arms. "Well these clothes aren't exactly shapeshift proof. If I tear them, they're not coming back." Sonata receded her form back to her usual humanoid one, though a few translucent scale outlines and blotches of pale whitish-green could still be seen, here and there. "Why, do you think you could do any better?"
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqnfkYItrm
"Uh-huh." And Sophia was gone.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz83UYaDxtJ
"Ah—" Sonata stared, as a small milky-yellow dragon wiggled it's way out of Sophia's clothes. She facepalmed, moaning into her hands. "Noo.." Meanwhile, the lizard of a dragon looked very happy with itself.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnfWU25RgW
"Sophia...baby...no. And now you're going to be stuck in that form for hours because you use up so much energy doing it."
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY9vN9EdMF
Sad chirping noises.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloGbEpcTok
"I know that, you silly feathered creature. And you realize you're going to forget your clothes in some distant corner of the cave, don't you? And then you're going to fall sick when you turn back because your clothes didn't shapeshift with you, so we're going to be looking for them in a dark cave." The small slithery being on the ground looked really sad about itself around that time, so Sonata bent down and took her into her hands,trying to mind her tone of voice. "And worse than that all, you must realize you get a little bit smaller every time you do that. It shrinks you. Don't do it."
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEKVk3u777
By this point, Sophia had begun to crawl up Sonata's arm and situate herself around her sister's neck, resting upon her shoulders.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqoVpQpUVx
"Most sprites cant even take a drakonic form. You just have a really good big sister."
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgMLTuQim9
She picked up their mother's cloak, wrapping it around her neck so Sophia wasn't cold. "Do you want me to stay with you in the cave until your elvish form comes back?"
Chirp!
...”Fine, I guess we’re eating inside then.”
