@prophcticdoom 02. wringing hands together in silence.
they had been sitting in silence, most of the afternoon. not that viserra minded it, no, helaena was a nice change compared to her brothers and her uncles. quiet conversation was scattered among their time together, and perhaps it was due to her lack of a sister and the desperate wish for one, the younger princess found herself thoroughly enjoying whatever the other had to say.
it wasn't until viserra spoke and a few moments went by without response from helaena that she looked up from the book in her lap, brows pulling together in confusion before glancing down at helaenas hands. gently, viserra shut the book and set it off to the side before pushing herself up off her stomach and onto her knees. "helaena..." she reached out, hand hanging in the air before pulling it back. " are you alright?"
