nothing tastes as sweet as blackberries on a spring afternoon

El’s horror mounts the messier Gem becomes, the girl unable to see the picture forming before her eyes. to her, it is simply a canvas of squished berries and randomly placed grass, an abstract concoction of yuck. but when El opens her mouth to comment as much, she finds she cannot bring herself to crush her sister’s vision. any other of her siblings and she’d gladly bring them back down to earth, explaining in great detail just how disgusting she thinks it is. but Gem…Gem is different. Gem inspires within her a protectiveness no one else does. so El just sniffs and looks away, trying to keep her voice politely detached. “it is…nice,” she says finally, though her words are a tad strained. lying is hard, it seems. “you’re very creative, Gem.” well, at least that bit is true - though El wishes her sister would pick a more refined material to work with. as her gaze roves over the berries, El adds thoughtfully, “you know, this colour would suit you, Gem. a bit around your eyes would really make them pop.” not everyone is as effortlessly beautiful as herself…some need a little help. and though Gem isn’t as stunning as herself, there’s definitely…potential there. |
