Kalea was hiding from F’drel’s latest attempt to get her to study with some teacher or another. Kalea didn’t know who, didn’t care. She wasn’t interested. So while she’d gone to the library like she was supposed to, she’d been quick to hide herself away from sight. She was here, that had to be good enough, right? She really didn’t want to be bogged down learning more about numbers or words or politics or whatever it was her latest teacher decided she needed to know. Kalea hated lessons!
It was while she was hidden away between a couple of shelves, with an overlarge and boring book propped up in front of her to hide her face, that Kalea saw Ferra make her way through the library, looking remarkably guilty. Which wasn’t really odd, but still managed to catch Kalea’s attention, and she shifted the book to better hide herself as she watched her older sister curiously. She blinked when Ferra simply curled up in a big chair with a book and started to read, and she probably would have left her to it without any further attention, but Ferra was pulling some interesting faces – and she even blushed! Kalea was invested now, and a smirk formed mischievously across her lips.
Now, Kalea didn’t mean to sneak over to Ferra – she wasn’t trying to be sneaky – so she was surprised when she had to clear her throat to get her sister’s attention. She burst into peals of laughter at the response she received from the simple sound, and her eyebrows arched upwards and her lips twisted back into that mischievous smile she was favouring that day. “Is that so?” she asked slyly, before darting forward and scrabbling against her sister to steal the book, dancing backwards when she finally won. “What are you reading?” Kalea asked with great curiosity, keeping Ferra in her gaze but looking at the book as she flipped it open.
