"Poop!"
Selene cursed as she stomped her leg on the ground. Noctis laughed, then he walked towards his sister, gently held her hand and—
"Alright, let’s go in and give the shopkeeper his money."
He spoke responsibly, then he stared at his sister and—
"And stop saying that word, if I hear it again, I will tell Mother Edda."
"And I will tell Mother Melia that you are stalking me!"
Selene didn’t give in.
"I wasn’t stalking, I was counting. It’s different. And it was your brother who told me to do so. He said you didn’t have the money to eat so many candies every day, yet you somehow did."
Noctis revealed the truth and Selene widened her eyes—
"Veyron!?"
She asked, her pink eyes now reflecting anger. Veyron was her real brother, Edda was pregnant with twins, Selene and Veyron, and the two had quite different personalities.
Selene was playful and loved to tease people around her, Veyron, on the other hand, was smarter. He normally acted dumb, childish even, but his mind was scarily quick, he noticed small things that children of his age would often miss.
"Yes."
Noctis nodded.
Noctis was Melia’s only son, he, like his mother, did not talk much, and he had power over blood. He was one of the stronger kids, not many siblings could actually defeat him in a battle.
"That traitor! And to think I gave him one of the candies I stol—"
Little Selene swallowed her words before she said too much, Noctis narrowed his eyes at that, however, before he could ask anything, Selene grabbed his arm and pulled him into the shop.
The sibling pair went in, paid the shopkeeper, despite him saying no many times, then, as they came out—
"How did you even know Sister Kira was here?"
Selene asked curiously.
Kira was Thyra’s only daughter and she and Noctis, because they both were people of few words, were quite close to each other.
Noctis was one of the few people Kira actually talked to.
"Did she follow you here?"
Selene asked curiously.
She wanted to meet Kira too, she wanted to get close to her. Kira had a nigh-perfect stealth, most beings in the world could not detect her presence if she didn’t want them to.
Selene could see countless uses of this ability, so she wanted to get close to her, but Kira, who had already sensed her intentions, usually avoided her.
"She did. The two of us will spar after I return."
Noctis nodded.
"So you only came here to stop me?"
Selene couldn’t believe it.
Just what was wrong with this brother of hers? Why come in the middle of her candy heist? What had she done? Was there a personal vendetta involved?
"Yes."
Noctis nodded.
He then looked at Selene with a solemn look on his face and—
"You should not break rules and you shouldn’t steal, you may not think it through, but your actions can hurt people."
"I don’t steal that much."
Selene muttered in a low voice.
Noctis, however, shook his head.
"It starts small. It is better you stop before it becomes a habit."
"Okay, mom!
Blehhh!"
Selene stuck her tongue out, showing her displeasure. Then, after a while, she thought of another thing—
"Wait."
She spoke out loud. Then, she turned towards Noctis with an excited look on her face and—
"Aren’t you and Sister Kira close?"
"We spar with each other regularly."
Noctis nodded.
"Then her statement doesn’t count!"
Selene grinned.
"Else I could say you stole from me and Velora will say it’s true! Hah!"
Selene’s grin widened, she was so proud of what she thought that she placed both her hands on her waist and puffed her chest.
Noctis looked at her, somewhat shocked, then—
"You still don’t get it, do you?"
"What?"
Selene asked, confused.
And in return, Noctis just asked another question—
"You do know Nyx is back from Aurendor, correct?"
And the instant she heard those words, Selene’s expression changed.
