Day/Theme: September 19- what if the storm ends

Character/Pairing: Two sisters
Rating: G

She didn’t entirely like storms, but her sister had invited her up and so she’d come, cloak wrapped around her and hood over her head (but not so far as to obstruct her view). Her sister had promised that she wouldn’t allow the lightning to hurt her- it was far less dangerous to her sister than herself, since her sister came from the lightning and air and she was of things that lightning set alight- but she’d aligned herself with the roof as best she could. No need to give it extra incentive.

Her sister laughed, when she touched down on the roof, lightning crackling in her hair and face and over her skin. “You are a silly thing,” she said, moving to ruffle the younger one’s hair. The younger sister ducked away, and the older laughed again. “I’d never let it scorch you, you know,” she said gently.

The younger one pulled a face. “I don’t want to let it try,” she said, and eyed the lightning crackling over her sister’s skin.

“It doesn’t hurt,” her sister said, touching one forearm gently.

“…and when it goes?” she asked, but without certainty.

Her sister smiled. “I won’t go, if that’s your worry.”

“Who said I was worried about that!?”

Another laugh, and she scooped up the younger sister and carried her downstairs despite her protests.
