“hi,” anna greeted, again, feeling the nerves ever-so-slowly draining out of her now that she was face-to-face with aurora. maybe it was just that the door opening felt like half the battle already, or maybe it was just that the woman on the other side of it had the kind of presence that put her at ease. a little of both, probably. nonetheless, when she stepped through the door it was with hesitation. she felt a little like she was intruding, for all the gentleness of aurora’s welcome.
at aurora’s offer to show her philip, she blinked in surprise. “oh! right.” she hadn’t really thought that far ahead. “mess is fine,” she added as an afterthought, nerves skyrocketing again as she followed aurora. what would she even say to philip? just… anything? then again, it wasn’t like she didn’t have experience with one-sided conversations! she’d figure that bit out, she was pretty sure.
anna frowned, however, at aurora calling her one of philip’s friends. it didn’t quite sit right. “i’m not really… it’s been a long time since i’ve seen him,” she explained quietly. “but i’m happy to meet you too! and it’s kinda funny, because last time i saw him, he would’ve definitely thought you had cooties. we used to tease his brother and my sister about being betrothed - mostly because it was funny, but he was full ‘romance is gross’ back then.”
ROSY LIPS CURL INTO A SMILE with anna's comment , taking it as a little blessing of sorts , a way of knowing there was nothing really wrong with their home even if philip wasn't there . well , not completely . deep down , it wasn't the mess itself that bothered aurora ; she'd made her peace with it . it was the fact that the entire place felt less like half philip's and more like a perfect representation of aurora's coping mechanisms . namely the remnants of stress baking , an unfinished puzzle and a pile of books she couldn't find the interest to read .
her eyes went a bit wide as she led the redhead inside . was it common for all royalty to just disappear from each other's lives ? ❛ oh ? he's definitely missed you then . philip has a wonderful memory , ❜ she assures with a small , knowing it to be true but also all too happy to gush about her husband . then , something else caught her attention , ❛ cooties ... what are those ? why , i bet he had cooties himself ! ❜ a proud huff escapes her , only for a tiny giggle to follow after . the first semblance of real laughter from her in a while . ❛ which brother would that be ? i've met both , hopefully things are amicable between them and your sister . ❜ and if not , aurora would be happy to help .
the thought of a younger philip finding romance gross comes as both endearing and beyond belief . ❛ i can't imagine that , he's always been so romantic with me . even when i first met him ! a bit forward- well , very forward , but not in a bad way at all . maybe you would've laughed at him . do you or did you also use to think romance is gross ? ❜ aurora asked , curiosity in her words . when the two women reached the door to the bedroom , her expression changed a bit . it saddened . slowly , after taking a deep breath , she opened the door and spoke quietly to anna . ❛ take your time , he'll probably be happy to hear someone that isn't me or kit or florian ... i'll make something for us . do you like tea or coffee ? ❜ head tilts to the side , ❛ maybe hot chocolate ? ❜
