The door closed with a soft click as the two brothers stepped inside her chamber.
Ashen, the brother with longer red hair, lifted a finger calmly to his lips and gave Ignes a glaring look.
"Be quiet." he whispered.
Then he stepped closer to the bedside, careful not to make the wooden floor creak.
Ignes, meanwhile, narrowed his eyes slightly and gave a quiet "shh" back at his twin, refusing to appear as though he had been lectured.
With stubborn pride, he followed behind Ashen anyway, cautiously placing each step… he had planned to be quiet from the beginning even without needing to be told by his twin.
When they finally reached the bedside, both brothers lowered their gazes at the small figure resting peacefully before them.
A warm and genuine smile easily appeared on their faces.
For a brief moment, neither of them spoke as they simply looked at their little sister.
"Isn't our little sister pretty?" Ashen whispered softly.
