Snippet #1352685

Roselin could only stare dumbfounded as Adam started laughing. Seeing that he didn’t seem mad at her, and especially when he said they were even, Roselin couldn’t help but let out a relieved laugh her own self. “Thanks… I guess we are even now. And it is pretty fun, especially when we want to switch places. All we have to do is hide one eye and confuse the mess out of people.” With a smile finally returning to her face since the tower incident, Roselin had to pause and blink at his next question. “I haven’t told her yet, so it will definitely be a surprise to her. Oh! I can’t believe I forgot about that!” Watching the little treasure bag float towards her then rest in the chair, she could only look a bit embarrassed realizing how much of a hurry she had been in to get off the tower. “You figured right, I don’t think I’ll be going back for quite awhile just yet. Thank you.”

Leaning back off the chair, Roselin realized she should have sat IN the chair as Lilian entered and hugged her tightly nearly unbalancing her in the progress. “I didn’t intend to fall, and I’ll try not to ever again!” Returning the hug tightly, she was so relieved to be back with her sister...yet something in the back of her mind couldn’t stop thinking about the safety she felt holding onto Adam… She definitely needed to avoid any more falls; they were messing with her too much. “EVER? Ever is an awfully long time, how about a few hours?” Pulling back to reveal a sly grin, she couldn’t help but tease her sister to lighten the mood.

As the crystals rested on the bag after Seth explained how they worked, Roselin nodded in understanding. “Alright, we’ll try to pack as light as we can. If you come across anyone, just tell them we retired before we could show you to your rooms; that would at least buy you an alibi.” The realization of what they were about to do sinking in; Roselin rolled the crystal between her fingers before pocketing it safely. All right sister, let’s get this started shall we? Heading towards their bedroom door, Roselin entered and waited for Lilian to follow before filling her in on the newest plans. A few drawers and a wardrobe later, Roselin located a modest looking sized bag and started to pack. We might want to stay quite so no one will overhear us. We probably need a change of clothes…something casual that doesn't declare ‘royalty’…. And matching cloaks! That would be the perfect escape plan for us if we need to run, just like in the maze… And we’re not going to the princes’ castle; we’re running away as planned without the ‘coming back’ part. Maybe some food or something… and a needle if our clothes tear… To bad I can’t bring my piano… What do you think? Biting her lip, Roselin glanced at her sister with another guilty look waiting on her twin’s response.
