Sophia ღ

I mean, I tried to. I wouldn't say you have poor taste, you're just a lot younger than I am apparently.

(She placed all the bags on one shelf and made a motion upstairs.)

You should go check her room. That's impressive.

I kept it simple. If that amazes you, you should see the bedroom back in the Herzen castle.

(She chuckled lightly and took all of the bags now.)

Feel right at home.

Yeah that's at least something. And.. not a boy in the traditional sense aswell.

But that doesn't matter.

(She sighed again while they walked to the house. It was not a long walk luckily and she let the two go in first.)

(She took a bag from both and walked forward, leading the way.)

Goodness. She successfully runs away once and comes home with a boyfriend.

Absolutely not. Even tho we agreed on godfather, to her you're just as much a parent as I am so no escaping.

(She sighed a little, pointing into the direction of her house.)

Up there. We can bring your stuff there for now.

Hey now!

(She followed them both, walking next to him.)

Shouldn't we get your stuff to the house first? And you're gonna help me find her again after that.

(She stared into her direction, completely baffled for a moment.

After that she just glanced to Simon.)

...I still have a year, huh?

Alright it's enough.

(She grabbed vero by the back of her dress and slowly dragged her to herself, making her sit next to her.)

Seems like it. But don't worry, I won't barge in. But if those two keep fighting I might aswell put an end to it.

(She just chuckled at this.)

There is a famous german saying, that I overheard once when guests from abroad were over years ago.

"When two people argue, the third one rejoiced."

So if you two keep going I'll just claim him. I bet you make a great cooking companion.

(She just stood up and raised vero up, which confused her a little, until Sophia took both of her hands and held them together.)

One is still missing to be even, don't you think?

He did help a lot all those years ago.

I know he always looks like he's in a bad mood, but he's a good guy.

The express is really fast, but it definitely is still 30 minutes. To reach the end of this track it would be a few more hours.

We really got lucky that the land allowed us to build like that, or we would've been fully shut off.

It shouldn't be too long anymore, we passed most. Maybe about half an hour longer.

If you look closely enough, you can see first houses around the corner back there.

You wanted to go live with them, no? That's what you need to get used to then.

(She just innocently smiled at vero.)

Didn't you know? The mother is always the biggest enemie.

She's incredibly ticklish aswell, by the way. And in oposite to you, it got worse the older she got.

(Veros giggling abruply stopped there.)

H-hey what do you mean again, I never kidnapped anyones child..!

(She shook Vero lightly, trying to wake her up now.)

Hey, you wanna see this.

(All she got in response was a sleepy complain.)

She totally would.

(Vero plopped against sophia now, who gently pulled her into her arms a little.)

We could wake her, tho. If she realized she missed this she'd be a little upset.

Well, I guess this made it easy for you to check for it. You did say you wanted to do that.

(Now she got back up and sat down next to vero.)

Oh it she would probably try to lift you both up, since she is the taller one now for once.

(She fluffed through both of their hairs again, being completely in her mother role.)

I wouldn't mind in the slightest. And I bet she'd be excited aswell, she was begging me for an actual sibling twice.

So you weren't kidding.. And I could in fact be your mother aswell.

So adorable.. goodness..

(If she wouldn't have loved them both before, she'd definitely do so now.)

You..

(She kneeled down to him and gave his cheek a light squeeze, now chuckling lightly and fluffing through his hair.)

Goodness. You both are really cute.

Oh you think?

(She said that a little sarcastically, but visibly not mean meaning. She just didn't know how to react or what to do.)

Oh dear..!

(She jumps up from her seat and raises the falling vero up again, leaning her into the other direction.)

(The darkness didn't confuse her too much, there was a tunnel along the tracks after all.

Yet, when she could see them both properly again, she looked very confused. Not knowing what to say she just stared at them with an open mouth.)

(She leaned down a little, smiling at him.)

That just makes you even more adorable, you know?

You're already paying me back with making my little bug happy. And with making her actually talk about it, if she's in pain.

It's always a struggle to have her be honest.

(She looked down at him, grinning a little.)

Did I break you?

Oh you're adorable simon.

(She chuckled a little and gave him a light pat on the head.)

See, so there are others that agree with me. Tell you what, that earned you this entire trip if you still feel bad for not paying.
