Show me a hero i'll write you a tragedy
“They scary, Lumlir! Grenna said that they as tall as a bear, and carry around swords!”
When he'd told Aunt Grenna to entertain the girls, he hadn't said terrify them witless. Either leg was occupied by a crying girl. Lumlir was sure that he'd get blamed for dumping them off there at the first place, but he wasn't about to take the sticky finger duo to the open market.
Lumsy grabbed for his attention once more and pulled at his coat as she mixed her feet up with his. Lumlir nearly fell on his face, arms full of woven bags holding food items that he'd picked up from the market.
"Swords Lumlir, we ain't never seen't one before! Grenna said that they be like butter knives, 'cept bigger!"
Pansy made a pathetic noise down on his other leg. Lumsy herself was sniffling, but by now he knew it was for dramatics. Making her sister cry or yell was her favorite pass time now. Right after she'd gotten over making Lumlir dunk head first into the ground.
"Did she also tell you that they had sharp rows of teeth that they use to gobble up little girls?"
That made them both shriek. Might as well make it worth the punishment he was going to get when they got home. Lumsy tugged on his jacket roughly, and bounced up and down frantically.
"No! That, that's not true! They eat like, like us dun' they?"
"Don't they?"
Pansy echoed after her sister. Her eyes were as big as saucers--the both of them were in fact. Lumlir couldn't keep a straight face any longer. A grin slowly cracked on his face and his sisters knew immediately that they had been played.
"I'm telling mum!"
I'm sure you already were, he thought while he shrugged his shoulders at her proclamation. Lumsy began to race ahead of her twin and brother. Lumlir watched her with a dry, amused expression on his face. Pansy looked between him and the back of her sister before she was called for. At Pansy's beckoning, she ran after her and left Lumlir behind.
"Next time I'll see if Lorley'll watch them."
