#providae

               she’s spent the last twenty minutes SPLASHING quite gleefully in the lukewarm water, water jumping out of the small tub to drip against wonky wooden floors as the three year old is bathed by her eldest brother. there’s something about bath time, despite it meaning she’ll have to sleep after, that makes it one of posy’s favourite things to do. her GIGGLES light up the room, chin resting against the side as gale sets about washing her hair and saving her eyes from the evil soap that stings! but he’s sure to have a difficult time with all her squirming  ------

               curls of wet brunette strands drip slowly against oversized nightgown (  one of rory’s old shirts, in fact  ), dirt and scrapes of the day cleaned away and the smell of soap lingering against soft skin. she’s never been a child to kick up a fuss at bathing time  ;  she enjoys it immensely. the only downside is that is usually means it’s time for BED, and she hates to leave the rest of the family so early just because she’s the youngest. so she’s going to put it off until they force her up into bed by moving to settle next to her big brother on the sofa, hands tugging at his sleeve.

               ❛  ---------  gale, can you braid it? please?  ❜

ok emma i need u to Not

               he’s home to help pack up memories, amidst the clothes and school supplies. excitement bubbles within, pure and vibrant in nature, but it’s censored some by the growing build up of nerves. she leaves TOMORROW. they’re all here to see her off in the morning, to help her settle in to her college, her new home, and posy is overwhelmingly sad as gale helps her shut the suitcase.

               ❛  can i tell you a secret?  ❜  nothing that can really be defined as a secret, but she’s one to bottle up negative feelings behind joyful facade, because she wants to focus on the good. but she’s leaving, and there’s no way around it. she’s going to be living some place else tomorrow night, away from her FAMILY, away from her boyfriend and best friend. with her eldest brother the only one in the room, she feels comfortable enough to share.
