We'll Never Be Royals

Selkie was enjoying the warmer days of spring, slipping out more and more. Taking time to play with her siblings in the spreading sunshine-- yes, the days were perfect, she decided. The days were perfect and they were all for her. Light steps growing more confident by the day, venturing out more and more excitedly each and every time. Spring air in her lungs... that would make them stronger, right? The cough that had racked her lungs from birth was beginning to fade. Beginning, though some days were better than others. The ones that filled her entire body with raw, with damp, those were the worst of all. That's okay. Today was mostly okay.

Especially because they were going to have a tea party! Pulling out all the stops to play pretend, this was the way. Right, she was a princess, surely she was going to be invited to lots of tea parties when she was a little older. Arachne would too. They are princesses after all! Capturing as much grace as she could in her little body as she arrived at the tea party, she gave a big, excited grin and a wiggle of her tail to her sister. A nod, a rather important one at that. Of course they had to be real polite. More polite than grownups were all the time. They'd do it even better.

Catching her tongue between her teeth, Selkie gave a curtsey as best she could. The movement was stilted, teetering on too-long limbs. "Hey are you sure about this?" Selkie can't hold back a giggle as she stumbles forward, barely catching herself, nearly toppling into the red dirt beneath their paws. She's grinning all the while, tail wagging. Right, right, she had to take this serious. Real serious. Righting herself after a moment, putting on her most Serious Polite Voice™, Selkie tried again. A little less clumsy, but still awkward. "Good afternoon, Arachne, thank you for having me." And a smile that could have passed as demure, if she wasn't trying to mask her giggles all the while. She's doing! Her best!
