Table:
Prompt Table “Faris?”
“Yes, Princess Lenna?”
“I can’t sleep.”
“Nor can I.”
Lenna’s teeth chattered as she stood by Faris’s bed. Faris glanced at the princess, her eyes running up and down her from the matching crystal around her neck, to her stocking feet. Lifting up the sheets on the narrow bed she said in her gruff pirate captain’s voice, “Get int’ the bed before y’ catch cold, princess.” The accent was something she’d grown accustomed to and was a nice thing to fall back on, a disguise to hide who she was. Lenna, Butz and Galuf now knew she was a female, but Butz and Galuf had yet to make the connection that Lenna and Faris were once siblings. Faris knew however that Lenna had the suspicion that she was her sister. This situation was just so familiar. She wondered briefly if Lenna remembered something like this before.
Arms wrapped around her neck after her sister got in the bed. She smiled, wrapping her own arms around the younger girl, as she stroked her hair.
“T-This….it feels… f-familiar.” Lenna murmured, curling up against Faris.
“I know.” Faris breathed, as her eyes closed and she pressed her lips to her sister’s forehead. “Just stay here.”
The memory returned to the elder of the young girls.
Footsteps stumbling on the wooden boards, soft whimpers from the distance, “Sarisa? I’m scared. Where are you?”
“Over here, Lenna. Follow my voice.”
The boat creaked as she heard her sister continue to stumble as she tried to walk half asleep toward her bed. Finally she felt hands touching her traveling jacket. She smiled, reaching out her hands and pulling her sister up onto the bed.
Her sister curled up against her as she put one hand to her sister’s cheek, the other wrapped around Lenna for a second, making sure they were cuddled to each other and neither would fall off the narrow bed, before allowing her hands to move. Fingers eventually knotted into her sister’s hair and Sarisa smiled when Lenna made a small noise of contentment before shifting, "Are we supposed to feel like this, Sarisa?"
Sarisa sighed, "No, but I don’t want to let you go." She pressed her lips to her sister’s, preventing her from making another sound.
The two fell asleep in each other’s arms.
As the memory faded, Faris glanced down at her sister now asleep in her arms. "I won’t leave y’ again, Princess."
