“Remove yourself, “she yells as she hears another knock on her door. Approaching the door she places her ear against it making sure she heard the footsteps as they walked away.

“I will not, “a voice says behind her tickling her waist side.

“Daiya, “she yells startled, “How did you gain entry into my chamber I’ve only two doors both locked from the inside!?”

“While you guarded one I picked the other, “she says laughing while eating a vine of grapes.

“How?”

“I’m mad remember.”

“I’m your sister remember.”

“Meaning?”

“While the act you assume may be believable by all including mother I know you besides while I normally enjoy entertaining your foolish gestures I am in no mood.”

“Not by all, “she says in a serious tone. Dana noticing the immediate shift in her voice sits next to her on the bed.

“I presume you are referring to Ausha, “her sisters revelation caused the hair on her neck to stand at attention.

“Now, I am afraid it is you who speaks with foolish tongue.”

“Perhaps, but seeing you two sharing a moment upon a private walk suggest otherwise.”

“Dana, how dare you press upon my private affairs, “she says angrily standing up.

“Calm yourself it was not my intention to do so it just so happens I was in the valley alone tending to my thoughts.”

“Curious what did you see?”

“Happiness, “Dana stares at her sister smiling, “You’ve set eyes upon her?”

“I’ll give answer to your question when you give answer to mines.”

“Ask and you shall receive answer.”

“Your recent behavior is it———-,”before completing her sentence Dana stands to her feet attempting to walk off. She wasn’t certain what her sisters questions leaned towards but an uncomfortable feeling washed over her. Before, Dana got too far out of reach Daiya grabbed her arm.

“Daiya remove hand.”

“No, not until you give answer, “she says squeezing her arm signaling to her it was best she not pull away from her. Although, Dana was a strong and skilled soldier Daiya was much stronger than she was.

“Your recent behavior is a grave concern to all especially to me again I am the mad one remember like you know me I know you just as well.”
