''Kiri! Can we go outside??? Pretty pleaseeeeee.'' Her big red eyes are shining from anticipation, smiling expectantly.
''Sure.'' the second that word left his mouth, Frederica ran off to her room happily, like she was already prepared. Kiriya couldn't help but smile gently at his little sister.
Aaaaand 5 minutes later the little girl appears already dressed in a peachy colored dress that reaches her knees, cutely spinning with her white 1800s parasol, her long dark hair contrasting nicely.
''I am ready!'' The girl squealed.
''...that was fast'' Kiriya was surprised at the speed of the girl but couldn't help but notice ''Did you brush your hair?''
''...no...'' she mumbled.
Kiriya sighed. ''Bring me the hairbrush, I'll brush your hair.''
''Okay!'' She carefully put her parasol near the entrance and ran off to the bathroom and then came back with her hairbrush and sat down at the table. Of course she also gave the hairbrush to her dear brother, whom took it and started gently brushing her hair, trying to get all the knots without hurting her. Her hair is quite long, so of course its gonna take a little bit of time
While he is brushing her hair, she is happily humming, patiently waiting for Kiriya to finish.
''When are you finishing?'' She said, swinging her legs impatiently.
''Frederica, just wait.'' Kiriya said gently.
''But I wanna go!'' She raised her arms to the air like an empress.
''I'll finish fast, okay? Now stay still.'' And went back to brushing her hair.
After a few minutes, he finished and tied a cute ribbon, even though Frederica didn't ask for it, he was still happy with it. She jumped out of the chair and started running towards the door, not even checking in the mirror if she likes how she looks.
Kiriya was already ready to go and Frederica was basically vibrating with excitement already grabbing her parasol and lightly jumping.
The second Kiriya let Frederica go, and she ran off to the field of flowers. Her hair gently swaying in the wind. She went trying to catch the butterflies.
The grass is tall enough to reach past Frederica's knees.
Kiriya just sighed and walked peacefully trying not to lose sight of Frederica. But when he sighed he closed his eyes...He lost sight of her. Great.
Kiriya started to panic, Frederica is a small girl, if something happens to her, he wont be able to forgive himself and besides, she can't really run off that far, can she?
Just the thought of losing her made his chest tighten.
Thank goodness he found her.
She was behind the big oak tree in the middle, and very seriously talking to a squirrel she found. The poor squirrel was squirming, trying to get away from the clutches of the girl. But of course Frederica was to distracted to let go, having a dramatic monologue. Her parasol laying near. Almost forgotten.
''Mister squirrel, I am a princess and you will be my new knight! Or pet...''
Kiriya breathing was ragged from panic, he almost thought he lost his little sister.
''Frederica...uf...please don't run off like that'' He said, voice filled with worry ''Are you okay??''
''Yes Kiri, I am fine...But what's NOT fine is Mister squirrel isn't listening to me!''
''...'' He just stared blankly at the squirrel, who was still squirming. ''...maybe Mister squirrel, doesn't want to be a knight?''
''Oh...Maybe...BUT then why doesn't he want to be a pet?'' She said still slightly offended.
''Maybe it doesn't want to be pet too?'' He said gently. ''Mister squirrel lives in the oak tree, and he probably has a family, no?''
''...yes...'' she said looking down, a little disappointed .
''Okay, then let go and let it run off''
Frederica hesitated a bit but eventually gently let go of the squirrel, and the squirrel ran off somewhere. She lost sight of it.
''He was really cute though...''
''I know, I know.'' Kiriya patted Frederica's head.
Frederica's sadness went away the second she saw a pretty a butterfly and started chasing after it. This time Kiriya focused on not losing sight of his sister. After a few 2 minutes of chasing Frederica got bored and just sat in the field of flowers, and started picking the ones she found pretty. Kiriya sat next to her, and with the flowers she picked he started making a little flower crown or in his words: Just a big ring of flowers. The grass swept gently from the wind.
Frederica kept picking flowers until she noticed that her older brother was doing something, she was curious to know what he's doing.
''Kiri, what are you doing?'' It was apparent that she wanted to learn what he was doing.
''A ring.'' He said flatly.
''Oh...But that's a big a ring!'' She said matter of fact...but in the most adorable way.
''I know. Its a ring to put on a head'' He said with a light smile.
''So like a crown?'' Her eyes started glowing with excitement and shyly asked ''Can you teach me???''
''Sure, but let me finish this one, okay?''
''Okay!!!'' And went back to picking flowers to help Kiriya.
He finished with the flower crown and put it on Frederica, to which she giggled cutely and then demanded for Kiriya to teach her how to make those.
While it was hard, she did eventually managed to make a pretty flower crown
The girl giggled. ''Look Kiri, I made one too!'' Her big red eyes happily glowing with excitement. ''It's so pretty!''
''I can see that'' Said Kiriya, smiling gently. ''Its already starting to get dark, we should go back home now, we did stay here a lot. ''
The sun was setting and Frederica was already tired, she looked like she was about to fall asleep. Kiriya scooped her up and princess carried her back home.
