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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡounCB84rZv

"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. "Mama is the Queen Regent of Avalor, Daughter of King" Ara stops him right there. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpd3ZyECEB

"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?" Theo face turns red and his eye twitches,"You only care about the season". Ara waves her hands frantically in the air, "No, I just didn't know what to say on the spot". 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD80mVhKTHd

"Well I.." Ara and trails off not having a good answer. "We could surely" Theo starts but he is just as clueless. Chris just slames his head on the desk infront of him. "I can't believe none of us, thought anything through" Chris agonizingly says to them both. "What a great team we all are" Theo signs and Ara looks at them both and decides then and there. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDedmUoVRk

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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4nuFpLruJ

"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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDKsNsBqGj

"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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPtIBoRhWQ

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.

"I truly have no words" Claudel reaches out to touch her hand in comfort but hesitates. He knows you don't touch another hand specially not a women of the Ton.

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. "I would not have meant such a wonderful women" He finishes saying as he hands her on old and dearly loved copy of "Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded". 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOxytpKMT4

"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".

"Georgina, Georgina Darcy" They hear her brother Fitz call into the gardens below. Her family don't know of this spot but they know this is a favorite place of hers.

"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.
