She snorts derisively at Ellie’s rather pointed retort, sea-colored eyes rolling perilously far back as she demonstrates her disdain at the notion. Nevermind the fact that they are indeed nearly identical. Tilting her head to peer haughtily down at her sister (though the effect is pretty well ruined by the fact that they are not only of a height, but still encumbered by distinctly childish features. “As if you’ve shared anything in your life.”
The fact that they’d shared a womb notwithstanding, while it may or may not be true, circumstances had made it that they were quite blessed in their existence so as to have no need to actually share anything. Not that Luminesce would ever point that fact out.
Sisterly sparring aside, when Elegance asks her about rocks, Lumi does pause to consider the question, forgetting momentarily the grave insult she’d just been dealt. In the end, she holds far too much affection for her sister to genuinely mean any of the insults she tosses at her. In truth, she only does so because they are so very much alike it’s galling. Not because they are alike, but because despite the fact that they are alike, Ellie has one very obvious ability that Lumi does not. That is galling. To somehow have been made the lesser twin despite the alikeness, and despite the fact that not only does Ellie have wings, but so too do both of their parents.
Frustrating indeed.
Still, she has her entire life to dwell on the unfairness of it all, but only these few moments to dwell on which rocks would be the prettiest. After a moment of silent contemplation, she confidently replies, “Amethysts.” Her tone brooks no argument. “They are by far the prettiest.”
Her gaze shifts then, peering towards the western borders of their home. The only place she’d ever seen amethysts. Turning back, she easily reclaims her haughty tone as she adds, “Maybe we should go find some for you to try out.”
