never were there such devoted sisters

The princess never meant to wake her sister from her slumber but she heard the yawn and the sleepy greeting after she called out to Kit. Mismatched ears fell to her skull and she very nearly ran off as embarrassment filled her. First she disturbed her sibling, and now she felt like her reasoning to be here was just silly. The girl took in a deep breath and pushed herself through the threshold tentatively.

Kit lay there in her bed with a soft smile on her face as she invited Ike in to sit beside her in the fluffy furs. Ike shyly stepped forward to sit beside her sister. She leaned into her sister’s reddish hued fur and she tried to relax but her tension was palpable. Kit spoke to her softly, immediately offering her help. Ike wasn’t sure where to start. She opened her mouth as if to begin speaking, but no words came out as she looked over to her sister. Panic filled her, even though she didn’t need to worry about what she said to her sister she was paralyzed for a very long moment.

"Have you met Remus yet?” She finally blurted out, a blush filling her cheeks as she averted her gaze. She wasn’t ashamed of the feelings she had for the young man, but talking about him and their relationship was so nerve wracking.
