The streets of town- Saturday afternoon

[notconflicted]

If nothing else, Fandom was good for letting Sia fend for herself in a very normal capacity, by forcing her to do things like shopping if she wanted there to be food in the common rooms for her to eat. She never minded doing it or complained about it.

Of course that might change today...

But for now, she'd just set out for Turtle and Canary, not knowing why she had a bad feeling about this.


[For one!]

Leo (http://fandomtownies.livejournal.com/6525361.html?thread=247808433#t247808433) had known exactly where Sia would be going despite not knowing her routines or what her day looked like, because she was just good like that. It was a gift, really. One of many gifts.

Leo was really just a very gifted girl woman.

"Sia!" she called, throwing herself at her in a hug. "I knew I would find you here, sister!"

[notconflicted]

...And there was a girl hugging her and calling her "sister."

You'd better believe Sia dislodged herself from that hug quickly, looking at the girl, and simply saying, "No."

She didn't know what was going on, but right here, right now, no.

Leo didn't know what was going on! She and her sister loved each other, sure sometimes they might fight because Sia was so clearly jealous of her and all that she'd accomplished, but there was a bond here and she'd never been rebuked before!

"What's wrong?" Leo asked. "Oh no, have you been bitten again by one of those poisonous amnesia spiders that wiped your memory that time until I was able to get a hold of my mystical amulet that would cure you? I didn't think to bring it with me..."

Occasionally she was forgetful as well as clumsy.

[notconflicted]

Oh, Fandom. What did you do?

"I haven't been bitten by anything," Sia insisted. "You have the wrong person."

[bestprincessyay.livejournal.com]

"Have you repressed me out of jealousy again?" Leo asked sympathetically.

Her memory was perfect, she could recall every instance of that.

[notconflicted]

Sia shot her a withering glare. "I have nothing to be jealous of," she retorted. "Now who are you?"

[bestprincessyay.livejournal.com]

"I'm Princess Leotarda Serena Fel, your little sister." How could anyone forget her! She was practically a HoloNet star!

Because she was totally also a HoloNet star.

[notconflicted]

"We don't throw titles around here," Sia said immediately. She was more comfortable here than she had been in May, but she still didn't think it was smart to go around advertising who she was.

And then she took a good look at her. "How old are you?"

[bestprincessyay.livejournal.com]

"Sixteen years old," Leo replied. "I'm the youngest Imperial Knight in history!"

[notconflicted]

"...I will touch on both of those things," Sia said slowly. "First, you can't be my younger sister. It's physically impossible seeing as how I'm fifteen. Second, you are not the youngest Imperial Knight in history and I would not go around telling everyone that you are."

[bestprincessyay.livejournal.com]

Leo shrugged. "That's just the way it is!" And then she pouted, "But I am the youngest Imperial Knight! I have been since I was ten and killed a Sith barehanded!"

It had been a good day. Albeit one that gave her a lot of trauma and made her kind of dark and stuff.

[notconflicted]

Now she was beginning to make Sia mad. Claiming to be her sister was one thing, but saying these sorts of things crossed a line.

"This conversation is over," she said, turning to head in any different direction possible.

[bestprincessyay.livejournal.com]

Oh, no! Sia was being jealous again!

"Wait, don't go, I'll help you through this!" Leo said, following her. She was very good at helping people. "What kind of future Empress would I be if I couldn't help everyone?"

[notconflicted]

That got Sia to stop. "You can't be Empress," she snapped.

[bestprincessyay.livejournal.com]

"But I'm going to be! Dad said," Leo insisted. "I'm much more suited for the job, all gracious and stuff, and I'm going to make a great leader and get a good husband."

She paused. "At least a good second husband. The first one's like a starter, right?"

[notconflicted]

Sia honestly didn't know if there was an age at which you became more susceptible to aneurysms, but she thought she might feel one coming on.

"You can't be Empress because you're supposedly my younger sister, which would mean that I would be first in line for succession," she explained sternly. "Furthermore, I wouldn't trust anyone in the job who didn't have a single working brain cell and I'm doubting you do. You don't get to be Empress."

When it all came down to it, Sia didn't actually want that job. But she'd much rather do it than let this twit lead an entire galaxy.

[bestprincessyay.livejournal.com]

Obviously Sia had gone jealous and crazy. Leo was the smartest, most gifted princess ever! Everyone knew that. But she was also really really gifted at caring for people, and she would help her through this.

"All right," she said in the most condescending helpful tone she could manage. "I'll let you be Empress. So while I'm here, what are you going to take me to see?"

[notconflicted]

Sia would like to take Leo to see someplace dark and secluded where no one would see her being run through with a lightsaber, but she'd keep that fantasy to herself. At least for now.

"I wasn't planning on taking you to see anything. I have errands to run," she said instead. Not nicely, but she said it.

[bestprincessyay.livejournal.com]

Errands... What were errands? Oh, right, she knew that word because she knew everything, even if she'd never once had to run them.

"Why do them yourself? You can make one of our servants do them!"

[notconflicted]

For all the things that came to Sia's mind to say, she decided none of them were worth wasting her breath when this girl obviously wasn't going to get it.

"Because."
