"I learnt that in grade school" Thea joked as she kept going watching Ever ever so slightly as they swang back and forth
(don't kill me for the pun)

(hahah)

Ever noticed her looking and blushed, since he was also glancing at her. He got distracted, slowing down a bit before he noticed and went faster again.

Karina noticed her sister walking around without making any attempt at hiding her identity. Quickly, she weaved through the crowd to stand beside her. "You're going to need to hide your face here. I thought you were supposed to be the expert on sneaking out," the girl said, though quiet enough so no one else could hear. Not all lunars were going to be as kind, even to royalty.

Aina sighed. "Sneaking out is supposed to be fun, Kari," she smiled, doing a quick spin to look all around her. "Isn't this fun? I think it'd be a lot less fun if I was trying to be a secret agent."

"It'd be a lot more fun if we don't get swarmed by paparazzi and get caught!" Karina argued with a small huff. "I'm having a good time too, so my point is I don't want to have to end the trip early," she added. She also did not want to feel the wrath of her parents.

"Swarmed by the paparazzi?" Aina giggled. "Have you ever been swarmed by the paparazzi? Don't answer that, knowing you, you probably have been. The point is that we'll probably get caught, anyway, so spending the entire time here looking like a depressed artist doesn't really seem worth it."

(hahah)

Ever noticed her looking and blushed, since he was also glancing at her. He got distracted, slowing down a bit before he noticed and went faster again.

"Not used to looking elsewhere and swinging?" Thea asked noticing Ever's eyes on her a chuckle laid in her voice as she looked at him keeping her pace on the swing

"Swarmed by the paparazzi?" Aina giggled. "Have you ever been swarmed by the paparazzi? Don't answer that, knowing you, you probably have been. The point is that we'll probably get caught, anyway, so spending the entire time here looking like a depressed artist doesn't really seem worth it."

"I do not-!" Karina began to protest, face twisting into frustration. "You know what, fine. If someone takes you away for a bounty on your head, don't say I didn't try," she spat, though her voice was more saddened than anything by the end. She really was just a proper little princess wasn't she…? She couldn't fully enjoy herself here. She could only ever be what she was trained to be. And she hated that.
Shaking her head, Karina waved dismissively about the whole thing and started walking towards another booth.

Aina frowned, worried she'd upset her sister. This always seemed to happen when she was around Karina. "Don't worry, I'm not important enough to have a bounty on my head!" She called jokingly after her sister. She immediately regretted saying aything, but after a brief pause, continued looking around.

Karina turned, tears starting to form in her eyes. She hadn't heard everything, but she didn't need to. "Not important enough…"
The girl shook her head. Aina, you idiot. You're important to me.
"What is wrong, little girl?" a voice asked from nearby. Luckily it was only another vendor. Karina shook her head. Not everyone needed to know. This person was a stranger. The salesman frowned, but only for a moment. A grin crossed his thin face as he held out a necklace towards Karina. "Jewelry is a girl's best friend. Maybe you'd like to try it on?"
It was a gold colored pendant with a simple crescent moon twirling in the air from its chain. It didn't much interest Karina, but perhaps Aina would like something to wear…
