Single Sisters Stick Together

Walk | Talk | Think True to the vastness of the stars above, there was much more to her sister than Gale saw on the surface. Astrea had always been pretty, sweet, and a tad quiet, but here and now Gale was seeing the strength and passion that the girl hid away behind her distant, thoughtful looks. She was full of wonder and wisdom, much more than someone of her age should have been, but it was reassuring to the Elementas messenger. Astrea had learned to cope, to be happy even when she felt miserable. If she could, and in secrecy no less, then Gale thought she could do the same. She would follow her little sister's example, and turn things around to change the dismal future that she dreaded was waiting for her somewhere up ahead. A smile, still somewhat sad but mostly happy, reassured, optimistic, gently tugged at the corner's of the grey wolf's lips as she drew back from her embrace around her sibling, remaining quiet as her sister spoke of her misguided relationship. She had always wondered about that, whether Spot had gone off of a mutual agreement, left before Astrea did, or if her sibling had been the one to leave first. But the mechanics of it no longer mattered; it was done with, and even in that her sister taught Gale another lesson, though perhaps not the one she had intended. Relationships did not always last, so it was best to enjoy the moment while it was there. "At least you got a pretty necklace out of it," she whispered through a teasing grin to her sibling with a gentle nudge to her dark shoulder. Unexpectedly, it was Astrea's turn to grin with a devious intent. Gale could not for the life of her understand it, and her brow furrowed even though she continued to smile, as if confused but wanting to be in on the joke. Even as her sibling spoke, it did not fully settle into place, though the idea her starry sister presented was immediately fascinating. "Find someone?" she repeated, chuckling even as she spoke. "You mean like a date?" That...actually sounded quite fun. Gale grew thoughtful, the smile upon her face widening as she considered the possibilities until she chuckled again but louder. "Alright, I'll let you do that. But only if I get to do the same for you," she challenged, her grin daring as much as it was amused. This sounded far too fun to pass up. |
