"I wouldn't say 'okay'..but I'm better. Definitely better." He said with a light smirk after she kissed him, and led her to the library. He opened the doors for her, revealing the massive library. (think beauty and the beast) Then he turned to her and grinned. "You are welcome to read as many books as your heart desires."

Nathan smiled a little when she hugged him, and lightly nudged her. "Go on, take a look. I didn't bring you here to feel bad about enjoying yourself." He teased, missing her forehead.

Nathan wrapped his arms around her. "What kind of boyfriend am I if I can't cheer up my girlfriend?" He asked quietly, resting his forehead on her shoulder.

Nathan held her in his arms and lightly pressed his lips to hers briefly after she spoke. "I love you.. So much.." He murmured , before resting his head on her shoulder. "Lets just stay like this a while longer. If anything else happens today, I'm gonna lose it."

He quietly listened to her promising words and kissed her cheek. Nathan loosened his hold around her some when she led him to the handcrafted coral sofas. He sat with her and held her close to him. Even if his twin came into the library, he'd stay just like this, he wouldn't act big. Not when he felt so small and useless. He was the kings son and yet he couldn't do anything to help his people, unless his father sent him to lead a patrol around the city.

Natalie stayed in her room a bit longer. She just laid in her giant seashell of a bed and and stared up at the roofing of her room, letting everything sink in. Was she really that childish? It was possible that she often acted without entirely thinking.. She needed to change, if she wanted to keep her relationship with her brother and friend.

Nathan nodded and let her go. He swam out of the library to go check on his father in his chambers. He knocked on the door before slowly opening it. "Father, pardon the intrusion." He said before entering the large room, glancing around curiously for his father.

Natalie swam over to her vanity and sat in the small chair, brushing her hair which was messy from laying down so long. She blinked and smiled at the sound of her friend's voice. "You're always welcome in my room, we're practically sisters!"

Natalie easily hugged her back and smiled. She shook her head lightly and ran her fingers through Sirene's hair. "Of course not.. You're my best friend. You and Nattie were just trying to look out for me, as usual."

Natalie smiled and gently began to brush Sirene's hair since it was a little bit messy. "Let's just sit and talk like we always do when there isn't much else to do." She said with a giggle. "Is Nathan okay?" She asked curiously with a hint of concern in her words.

Natalie tilted her head lightly as her friend began to play with her blonde hair, when she mentioned her brother going to talk to their father. She blinked at the mention of shells and beads to put in her hair and smiled. "Only if I get to put some in your hair too." She said playfully.

Natalie hummed softly while her friend braided her hair, as an attempt to focus her energy so she wouldn't be squirming. When Sirene showed her, her eyes widen. "Oh my goodness..!" She giggled happily and gently hugged her friend. "I love it!" She chirped with an innocent smile across her lips. She got up from the stool so Sirene could sit. "My turn to do your hair all pretty." She giggled again.This was just like when they were kids! She loved it!
