[private] bring on the night

[Anuya]

Anuya knew that eventually Sidhra would crawl out of her hole and stop sulking enough to say hi, just like Sidhra knew that Anuya would find her when she did. The pair of them have crossed continents and worlds together, a little bit of time apart meant nothing. Unlike Sidhra, she barely spent a moment thinking about their home - except to think about how glad she was not to have to talk to any of her other siblings again. Or deal with any of the court politics. She would be quite happy if Sidhra was the only other fae she ever saw for the rest of her very long life. She had been thinking about her sister a little more lately, which meant the blue pain in the butt was due to surface. They weren’t linked mentally or anything, but after five decades of having to put up with her eldest sister, Anuya had started to learn her habits. She kept her turquoise eyes peeled. Anuya was looking forward to sharing her brilliant observation, discovered through trial and error, that those with small ears could, in fact, hear perfectly fine. She was even starting to get used to not seeing any other long, beautiful pairs of ears. It made her feel special instead of annoyed. And then, in the meadow one night, Anuya finds her - a vibrant grin breaking out as she shouts - for the sheer joy of it and not because she’s worried about being heard. “Siddy!” When she reaches her elder sister, she bumps her glowing muzzle against Sidhra’s shoulder in a playful shove. “You brat. Here I was looking forward to showing off my new glow and you’re already shining yourself. Just always have to beat me, don’t you?” There's a roll of those turquoise eyes, but it is just as playful as the shove when she straightens up again. “Done sulking yet or are you just taking a break?” oh, I see stars rushing through my mind, colours have no time to fade oh, I found out there's another side where the sea and sky collide
