"Hmm, never thought of it like that," Cinthia said, sitting on the other side of Lily. "I guess we do." She smirked and leaned towards the other two. "Don't tell Rhydar, but I've caught him giving homeless children some of the money he gets from his loot. And to poor citizens, too."
That was surprising, but Lily's smile grew a bit. "Not as uncaring as he likes to pretend, then. Interesting." She didn't lean away from Cinthia, the way she might normally have done, but stayed where she was.
"You find our entire family interesting," Wolf observed with a small smile. Cinthia chuckled and leaned away, smiling slightly as well.
"You are interesting." Lily said defensively, obviously not offended by the statement. "Of all the people I've met in my life, you are all quite different."
"Lemme guess," Cinthia said, tapping her lips jokingly. "Is it because we aren't as prim and proper as we're supposed to be?" Wolf snickered at that, commenting on how they're a 'family of thieves', so obviously they're not normal.
"Partly, but not quite. I do think I prefer this over the alternative though." Lily shot back, eyes sparkling with amusement. She could forget, for a moment, about everything, and enjoy the peace and normalcy.
Cinthia jokingly slumped in defeat at not guessing right the first time. "Aw. So what makes us so interesting, in your opinion?"
Lily scrunched up her nose as she though, looking off at the wall. "You've been nothing but kind to me, for starters. All of you that I've met. Your relationships with each other are just interesting to watch, interaction-wise, as well."
Wolf tilted his head curiously. "We have no reason to be assholes, that's why we're so nice."
Cinthia tilted her head the opposite way. "What do you mean, our relationships are interesting to watch?"
"You'd be surprised how many people are assholes, simply because they can be." Lily said, shrugging a shoulder. "And I don't see all that many positive interactions a lot, so it's interesting to watch the differences."
"Hmm," the twins hummed at the same time. "I guess us two are just close by nature, having shared the womb and all. Rhdyar's alright once you get past his childishness. Maggie's just a giant teddy bear that everyone loves," Wolf mused.
She nodded, looking between them as she listened. If only she'd get the chance to actually get to know them. "And all of you are close?"
"Pretty close, yeah." Cinthia nodded. "But it's more like, Rhydar and Magnus, and then us two."
"That might be the age differences." Lily mused, fiddling with her sleeves. She and her sisters had been the same way.
(I never realized how weird it is to be Facebook stalked until today…)
"Maybe," the twins said at the same time. Wolf spoke next, shrugging. "We all get along and all, but we usually go off on our own when we've got some down time."
((Huh?))
"Of course. You can't get along all the time." Lily said, reaching up run a hand through her hair, pulling it away from her face.
((My dad posted two pics of me on his FFDP fan pages, and this one Brazilian dude said I was beautiful, and then proceeded to Facebook stalk my dad to find ME and send me a friend request))
The twins nodded, then looked at each other with a mischievous gleam in their eyes. Their lips quirked up as they looked at Lily. Cinthia asked the other girl, "Hey, you hungry?"
((That's like….hella creepy.))
Lily raised an eyebrow at Cinthia, before looking at Wolf. "I…guess?" The mischievous looks made her wary, but at the same time, curious.
((Why do I always attract the creepy ones?))
Wolf piped up. "How about we go see what's cookin'?" he asked as a slow grin crept up the twins' lips.
Lily wrinkled her nose, but huffed a laugh. "I assume this is the sneaking you were telling me about? Am I going to get first-hand experience of this?"
((Idk man. Be careful tho))
((I'll try))
Cinthia smirked and stood up. "Whatever do you mean? We're royals: we never sneak around." Wolf chuckled and looked to Lily to see if she was up to it.
"That certainly didn't seem to be the case earlier." Lily quipped, shooting an amused look to Cinthia as she stood as well. "It'd be good to learn my way around the castle, so I don't end up lost again."
Wolf was the last to stand, and he offered a hand to Lily. "Milady, mind if I do the honor of showing you around the palace?" Cinthia smothered her laughter as she wordlessly went ahead, scouting out their path to avoid guards and other guests.
Lily snorted, and after a moment of slight hesitation, took the offered hand. "That would be lovely, m'lord." She said, adding on a posh accent as a small smile played on her lips.
He grinned and jerked his head towards the door Cinthia had disappeared through. "C'mon, Cin's making sure the coast is clear."
