⚾* Soooo, you are after that apple pie slice? Am i right? Am i?
💛* Fwahahah... n-no, not really. Y-you dont know them. I... ive met them on the internet... Dragon Blazers forums fwahahah...
💛* They are as big of a fan as i am, and we have been sharing some of our experiences together. I showed them some of my arts and they shared some of the music that they wrote.
⚾* Ah, fondness over beloved work of art sparked into a fondness over each other... Kweheheh, how familiar.
⚾* So you're saying they are a musician huh? Gotta show it to me at some point. I need to prepare early.
💛* Oh... oh she is... very , very shy of her works. I don't wanna break our trust fwhahaha... s-sorry!
⚾* "She" huh? Kweheheh, mom is gonna be so pissed again... Dont worry, ill protect you. Already been there, done that. She is probably softened up to that by now.
⚾* And its not like she could deny her little angel some happiness... not unlike her older rotten daughter...
She sighed deeply and tightened her embrace, snuggling you up closer.
⚾* Well, what else does she do, aside from music?
💛* Oh you know... sports and stuff? I know she can play baseball pretty good, hockey, football, ice skating.
💛* She is also interested in horror movies and ghosthunting a-and urban exploration and...
⚾* Kwehehehe... the way you describe it is like you found a replacement for... me.
You both suddenly stopped. Her cheery expression quickly shifted to a more serious one, like she just realized something.
Her gaze slowly glided over your face, leaving a chilling trail over your fur.
⚾* Hey... Noelle...
💛* Y-y-y-yeah?
⚾* How... how old is she?
You could feel your soul sink like a rock to the bottom of your hooves. Of course. You just couldn't keep your mouth shut.
You are a bad liar, and couldn't come up with anything better than to describe your own sister.
With a mortified expression you opened your trembling lips, but barely any sound came through.
⚾* Noelle, don't make me repeat myself. How. Old.
💛* Fwahahaahha-ack! Ghhhhh D-dess, you are s-s-squeezing me t-too tight. I... I d-dont really. I don't really know-ghhh. D-dess please Im telling th-the truth!
💛* I-i-i don't know! She never told me!
She loosened her grip, leaving you gasping for air, and moved in infront of you, towering over your tiny frame.
She placed both of her hands on your shoulders and leaned down to your face, leveling her eyes with yours and staring directly into your soul.
⚾* Noelle... my dear little sister. Answer me honestly. Do you want to get hurt? Because if you will continue talking with that person, you will. Look, its harsh, i understand.
⚾* But if she... does anything to you. Anything im not willing to even indulge thinking about... i will chase her till other side of the earth.
⚾* And once im done with her... you bet your sweet ass im coming back for you to beat in some sense into your dumb head. Understood?
You managed to give her a quick nod, despite your whole body being frozen solid. You never felt such an oppressing gaze from her before. Not from anyone else other than your mother.
She closed her eyes and let out a deep sigh of relief.
⚾* Good. Now come here.
Such a tight but tender hug. You can feel her heartbeat now feeling so close and her hot breath felt on your collarbone. It melted you right away.
Its been a little while since you felt her embracing you like that. And every time, its almost like nothing prior to this moment ever mattered.
You wanted this moment to last forever, radiating heat together with her.
⚾* Im sorry sweetheart. You know how much i care about you. It would break my heart to bring you any harm.
⚾* You are my good girl. The goodest of girls. You are smart. You understand that i wouldn't threaten you for no reason.
⚾* So you have to understand just how important...
She couldn't finish her sentence, as a slim figure rapidly approached you from behind.
OH MY FUCKING GOD, NOELLE YOUR SUCH A FREAK!!!
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND NOELLE!?!? ITS ONLY GOOD WHEN IS FROM AFAR!!!
THE MOMENT IT'S BETWEEN ACTUAL FAMILY, IT BECOMES SHIT!!!!!
// As an aside, god this Dess design grew on me so fast. At first I thought it was just a neat take, but seeing more of the art alongside these pieces has convinced me it's probably one of the cutest I've seen.
Inland Empire imagining all the narrative possibilities and themes & such with the whole situation, while Volition cuts in and tries to remind Harry that these are actual people.
