Chapter 19 - The Flow of Time

''So, who are you going with?'' Asked Oasis. On a passing note, trying not to sound off. Elora was amused by his question and those expectant eyes. A mischievous idea came to mind.'' I wonder who? Maybe a knight in shining armor?'' Elora spoke with a hint of playfulness. ''It's not like you're going to escort me. How about Baron Macau? Or maybe the prickly young lord from the Adolph County?'' Elora was looking forward to the reaction, and she got what she wanted.

Oasis looked at her, his hand crossed and an angry pout. How could she not see he had come all dressed up, ready to escort her to her debutants? The special spring where she turned 18? And what did she do? ''I'm here all dressed up for you. And You're out of there looking for other people to escort you. Is it because I'm young or you just don't love me anymore? Or do you think I'm not worthy enough?'' He looked genuinely angry and offended.

But what could she do? She couldn't help but smile at that spoiled frown and expectant gaze. ''Don't be angry, my dear, our youngest. You're so handsome. How could we bear to see a frown on that treasure-like face?'' She smiled as she coaxed him. Who else but you, my little star? Aren't you going to escort your only beautiful sister on her special day? You only have this one sister anyways;'' she spoke again in that playful tone of hers.

''Mind you, I'm your only brother too. You ain't got another'' Oasis spoke, retaining his frown, trying to look angry and if possible, try and counter her remark. Elora couldn't help but giggle at his efforts.'' Now then, should the Princess get ready to match her Prince in armor'', she spoke. Ensuring he was coaxed, she left to get ready.

She couldn't be more delighted. She had coaxed her little kitten and got all the reactions she wanted out of the little prideful feline. She couldn't help but imagine him with features of the arrogant but soft feline.

What more could she ask for? She had her little treasure and her special day waiting before her. she was after all a youthful lady of 18 now with all the girlish whims and dreams. Full of feeling and playfulness.

Oasis too at the vibrant age of 16, he was attached to his sister the only comfort and the most wonderful person in his life. Spoiled and bashful as he was, he had been a responsible person handling the affairs of the territory alongside his sister, he had learned many things from her. many good things and maybe a few bad habits too. they used almost no filter with the other after all.
