Cress felt warm as Nee praised her, saying that she did good. This was the praise only a big sister could give to the younger twin and Cress grinned, "It was a... breeze." She lied with a slight laugh, the anxiety going away, although that was mostly due to Corren's medicine than Nee being awake. There was still plenty to worry about, but Cress couldn't find it within herself to panic about anything. She felt happy, overly so. Why was this? Was it because she and Heron were going to go on a date? Because she could finally use her arms? No doubt it was since Nee was awake, she was okay, being her usual cold self. Nee had the same thought process, that Jezebeth and their mother, she was the same. "We have to... warn Queen Riana." Cress said, certain that Narina would pull some sort of stunt.
As though on cue, Queen Riana, appearing to be outraged by a betrayal that wasn't real at all. "It's not us!" Cress snapped as Narcia began coughing. "It's Narina she's... posing as some... Tartarian noble." Cress hoped that she could make Riana see reason. They didn't have any reason to betray her, not after everything that Queen Riana had done for them. "Those humans aren't... real they're androids." Cress explained, feeling frantic. She had to protect everyone, even though Nee was here, she wasn't well, she was still weak and shaking and Cress had to protect her. It was just like those days on earth, when Ellie was her cousin and Cress would protect her from the bullies. "We would never... break the alliance." Cress insisted, hoping that she would listen.
Just then, Itward burst inside. "We have a problem," there were more androids, marching up to the palace. "Dispatch the knights," Cress said seriously. There weren't many of them, maybe fifty, and Cress was certain that the knights handled it. Thankfully, Shiro was bundled up underneath the blanket so that Itward didn't see her. He nodded his head and left to go help protect the palace, leaving them in the med bay. "Maybe it would... be safer for... us in the... playground?" Cress asked, knowing that, that room was ready to protect them and reinforced since it used to be the interrogation room. There was a knock on the door, Wren had come with clothes for both Narcia and Shiro. Corren took the clothing from her, not allowing the servant inside even though she insisted on being with Shiro.
"You can do other things, the Queens need to eat, go fetch their dinner." Corren said sternly and shut the door on her, it was rude, but there was nothing that could be done about it. "Should I declare... a state of... emergency?" Cress asked seriously. What would they tell the citizens? That Tartaria was on the move to attack? That Narina was back and in full force? Cress didn't want them to worry or panic, there was enough of that with the recent explosion that the knights had managed to put out. "I just wanted... a happy ending." Cress said quietly, knowing that it was likely no one had heard her. Had she stayed on earth she would have lived the life she wanted to, she wouldn't be wheelchair bound or weak. Then again, she wouldn't have Ellie either.

"You can't come." Queen Narina scolded, locking the pup inside of a crate. Narcia was already in the pod and so, Shiro was stuck here in a cage. She waited for someone to let her out, for someone to take her on a walk and give her ear scritches, but no one came. So Shiro sat silently, wondering when Narcia would be back. She didn't even have Ellis to play with in the meantime, the toy was sitting on the pink dog bed in the corner of the room. Shiro was in the other corner, waiting for Nee to come back. The meeting the day before with Aine and Itward had been fun, at least, for Shiro. There had been plenty of scritches and Aine had fed her cookies beneath the table while she played beside Nee. Nee had given Shiro something called tea that had been far too hot for the pup's liking and then they had gone for another walk.
Hours passed, Shiro waited for her princess to come back. When the door finally opened, Narcia headed straight for the crate, letting Shiro out. "I'm sorry Shi," she apologized, squeezing the pup tight. "I didn't realize she would lock you up in there." It only made sense since unsupervised, there was no telling what Shiro might do. Shiro ran over to her bed and picked up Ellis, clasping the toy in her teeth as her tail wagged. She ran back over to Nee and dropped it by her feet, doing what Nee called the "doggy dance", which was when Shiro stepped around her eagerly, wanting to play. "I'm sorry Shiro, I can't play now." Nee pat her head and then went over to her desk. Shiro picked up Ellis again and followed her, wondering what was wrong.
"Walk?" Shiro asked and Nee shook her head. "Not now Shiro," the pup whined, resting her chin on Nee's thigh. Narcia sighed, scritching behind her ears, which made the pup mewl happily. "I have work to do, so no distractions." Nee scolded and Shiro went over to her doggy bed, sitting down. Nee suddenly had an idea, she picked up a red rubber stress ball and waved it. Shiro jumped up eagerly, looking at the toy. Nee opened the door to her bedroom and Shiro followed her. "Fetch!" Nee yelled, tossing the ball down the hall. It bounced and went down the staircase. "Fetch!" Shiro echoed, running after the ball. Nee sat back down, knowing that as long as the ball kept moving, Shiro would have something to do.
The pup bumbled down the steps, watching as the ball rolled down another hallway. She chased after it, a happy smile on her face. "Fetch!" Shiro yipped as the ball hit a wall and came back her way, going past her. Shiro back tracked, turning around as the ball began rolling down the steps once more. The pup jumped, missing and nearly hitting the side rail. She followed it, finally catching up to the ball at the end of the hallway, when it rolled to a stop. Shiro looked up eagerly, tail drooping when she realized she had no idea where she was. There were people here, all dressed the same, bustling around, ignoring the pup and Shiro whimpered, backing up into a wall.
"What's a cutie like you doing here?" A red haired woman asked, coming forward. She knelt down to scritch behind Shiro's ears and the pup seemed to melt right then and there, dropping the rubber ball. "Hey there little pup, I'm Heron." Her hand moved, looking at the tag on Shiro's collar. "Shiro, hmm, I guess I should bring you back to the Princess's room?"
"Shiro!" Shiro yipped, turning in a circle and sitting down in front of Heron. "Alright, I'll take you back to her then," Heron said and lifted Shiro up easily. "After all, it's my job to protect all cute girls, even ones with dog ears." Shiro licked Heron's face, tasting spaghetti sauce, which prompted the pup to lick all around. "What's that? You want a kiss?" Heron teased, planting one on Shiro's nose. The pup wriggled as Heron carried her up the stairs. "That stupid princess, always losing her toys." Heron dropped Shiro outside the door, knocking on it twice before leaving. Shiro waited eagerly, jumping for joy when Nee answered. "Shiro? Was someone with you?"
"No," the pup whined, bumping her head against Nee's leg affectionately. "Shiro, where's your ball?" The pup's eyes widened as she remembered she dropped it.
