Mine to Protect
platonic cute thing to display Lilthu's relationship with her brother Luci by @an0nymous-c
"my darling..."
Puffed cheeks held her treasure closer, turning away from her mother. This was hers! He was hers why didn't momma understand that? She asked for him, and he's here now. So he's her's no take backs! >:((
"darling.." it was hard to be mad at the determination in the little demoness, hands carved of timber opening palms rather than reaching, waiting for the tiny horned child to surrender the bundle in her arms.
"your brother needs to sleep..."
A coax, gentle, full of pity like she understood that the girl would hate to let him go, but surely understands that he-
"then he sleeps here." Ah-
As if the conversation was already over the little girl tucked the bundle closer to her, wrapping her tail around and letting the spade hang above him like the carousel in his crib.
"but darling-"
"ssssssssh. Mama ssssh. Don't wake him up. You want him fussy???" She hissed back quietly, throwing in a pout for extra measure. "...I make sure he nap. I watch him. He'll be fine."
...seems there was no arguing the matter..oh well.
------
"oh this?" She held the necklace on her in between two claws seeming bored of the topic before it began, her tail swishing lowly against the ground, yet never touching it exactly. Didn't want it dirty after all. Her spade was beginning to sharpen rather nicely. She could almost slice fruit with it now! Take that losers.
"my brother made it. Since he's too dumb and can't tie knots yet that well with his stubby little claws." She dropped the pasta necklace back to her skin, tuning out soon after.
".......- what. What did you say?" Surely she hadn't heard that properly. I mean their conversation was boring but not so dull she missed something like-
".....I said it was ugly? Like god I can't believe your brother gave you that I would've thrown it away!"
....
WHAM!
"LILT-THU?!? MY FUCKING NOSE I CAN'T-"
WHAM!
"...i- uck- ..."
Taloned hands with claws like razors snagged the others uniform, lifting him up from where he lay with his bloodied face on the ground..one fist held behind her.
"talk about my brother like that again and I'll kill you."
-------
"uhm...sis?" She turned slightly, washing the evidence of her altercation off in the spout, tail winding carefully, spade tucked down...yet ready to catch the smaller demon beside her.
Him and his dumb stubby little legs. Of course she had her tail out the twerp could fall!!! Not that he may have needed her protection like that...but who cares.
"I tried...to make a better necklace..I'm sorry the pasta one isn't pretty like your jewelry box ones.."
....
She sighed and turned sharply, crouching down to the others height. "Listen twerp. Your claws are still stubby little things anyway. How are you gonna make beadwork like mom anyway if even I can't do it? Sides I'm smarter then you so if I can't do it you can't either.." she huffed out, ruffling the others hair to his squeaky protests. "It's dumb but it's mine now so you're not allowed to call it ugly cool? You made it for me twerp and that means it's automatically awesome because it's mine!"
The little devil huffed and squealed at her messing up the hair he'd taken care to brush that morning, though he didn't mess the soft way his sister rubbed his head and little horns lovingly before her hand retreated. "Okay okay I won't call it ugly!! ........can I make you...more then? Until I get better?"
She stood back up saying nothing, but the way she pressed him to her hip and kept a gentle hand on his shoulder told him everything he needed to know.
"I'll make you a really pretty one one day sis...best one ever.."
"mkay..." She sighed, but he knew his sister better than that by now. She was strange, always pretending like she was annoyed or didn't care...but she loved him. He knew this for sure. So..it was okay. His sister could be weird and cool if she wanted. Coolest demoness he knew!
(Keke stopping so I don't force myself to write too much all at once and be happy here but if I add to this it'll be an angst portion and then move onto present time to show how she reacts to covenant bothering her brother )
