- She dangled limply across her brother's arms, her fingers lax as the sleeves and skirt of her sky blue chiffon dress swayed with every step he took. He looked down at her serenely sleeping face and with a light breath, blew her platinum bangs away from her eyes. If she were only sleeping he would only be so lucky. He didn't know what he'd do without her. So much was riding on the both of them staying alive. If one of them were killed, everything would be for nothing. Everything. If one of them died, the other would follow close behind. One couldn't exist without the other. They were each other. If she didn't wake up soon, they couldn't take their place in the night sky. He had to find a way to heal her of whatever spell had been cast on her.
The first place that he came on didn't look very promising, but the sign said that it was an inn, and the lights were on, and, well, as much as he loved her, his sister was getting heavy to carry. He strode up the path to the door, and with a well aimed finger from the hand supporting her knees, he managed to open the front door of the establishment. He reached his arm around her shoulders and turned her head to rest against his chest, hiding her face between his blue jacket and the loose fly away layers of her white braid. He didn't want anyone to see her so vulnerable. He didn't want anyone interfering. If asked, he would lie and say that she was just exhausted and sleeping and that he couldn't bear to wake her.
Every muscle in his arms was burning with carrying her. While his sister's form was lithe and feminine, he'd been carrying her for an awfully long walk. After a time, it started to wear on a person, no matter how light the blessing (he would never call her a burden.) Once inside, he gently kicked the door shut behind him. He almost breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a couch, but he didn't, he simply laid her down gently, with her back to those in the room and her face toward the back of the couch. He smoothed out the folds of her dress so that her legs were properly covered and she at least looked comfortable before lifting her shoulders and head and sitting down, putting her head in his lap. He finally heaved a relieved sigh. Relieved to have finally put her down, relieved to have finally sat down. Relieved to rest. He could sit there with her like that forever, if he weren't so worried about the curse on her. As long as he was sitting down and resting, he could be as patient as the owner needed. Except his mind. It was reeling with trying to figure out the curse and how to fix it. He only pulled her braid onto her shoulder, resting his forearm on her upper arm as he idly twisted the ends of the braid while he thought.
