a tantrum in my room

Ike had run away from the Ashen meeting with tears in her eyes. Iki didn't understand why, but had wasted no time in running after her sister. Seeing Ike in pain caused her pain and she didn't want her favorite sibling to be alone when she was hurting. As Iki searched for her sister, she came upon a shocking sight. There, laying in a clearing beside a tree, were Ike's antlers! Ikigai gasped aloud and scanned the area for her sister but there was no sight nor sign of Ike. Iki had zero tracking ability, so she couldn't even begin to think about how to find her sister. Was this what Ike was upset about? Had her antlers been falling off during the meeting? With a frown, the pale princess picked up the antlers gently between her teeth and set off back to the palace. She had an idea.

-----Time skip-----

The slender girl had taken the dual toned antlers back to her room. Iki had an idea that she was sure would boost her sisters mood. Iki set to work, tearing apart her best and most grand headdress. Ike was worth it. With great care and a lot of work, Iki eventually affixed her sister's shed antlers to the headdress. Adding a few embellishments to make the headdress even more grand than it had been originally, Ikigai was soon satisfied. Now she had to find her sister and give her the present.

Carrying the wrapped package, Iki moved through Ashen lands, searching high and low for her sister. In time, she came to the beach and sat Ike sitting there in the sand, looking sad and upset. With her tail snaking across the sand, Iki made her way to Ike's side. Sitting the wrapped gift before her sister, Iki sat. "I'm sorry that you were so sad yesterday. I made something for you." With one slender, dexterous paw, Iki slid the fur wrapped package just a little closer to her sister. She was very excited to see the look on Ike's face when she got her antlers back.
