Mystic twins…..my beloved

Petra Ilse Dam's Tantomile seems to understand Demeter very well—among other things, she picks up immediately on her unease about fake Deuteronomy, and reacts with aggression towards him.

(alternatively: Demeter realising she has no chance at getting between Coricopat and Tantomile and their twinsync.)

But Tantomile was far past feeling just sympathetic, there may have been pity at first glance. But any Jellicle could say that about Demeter when she first arrived at the junkyard.

Tantomile genuinely enjoyed Demeter’s presence the more they spent time together, and she loved watching her grow more comfortable with the tribe as time went by. Seeing her smile more often, participating in activities with everyone else, and even spending time with her was enough.

Tantomile caught on to the possibility Demeter might actually have feelings for her sooner than she was ready to admit. She knew she couldn’t say anything, it would only push Demeter away, but it didn’t feel any better to sit back and watch her try to bury her feelings.

But what else was there to do? If she said she knew, Demeter’s trust in her could be shattered completely. But if she confessed on her own, she could risk pushing Demeter too soon.

so she waits, waits until Demeter is ready. She’d try to drop hints whenever she could but, not anything too obvious. Watching Demeter slowly build up courage honestly felt so rewarding to her, as tiring as it could be at times.
