[OPEN] Hazards of being a big sister

[scarlet_devil]

WHO: Émilie Écarlate (Guest starring Daniellé Écarlate) and anyone likely to be around.
WHERE: Viea Village, nearby Écarlate Mansion.
WHEN: All Fool's Day (1/4)
WHAT: Émilie deals with some of the downsides of having younger siblings...
WARNINGS: One grumpy heiress.

Émilie had quickly learned to despise the first of April. And so far today, her disdain quickly extended to sand.

Finding it in places it shouldn't be will do that. So far it's turned up in her bed, in her unmentionables drawer, and in her shoes...
...as she just found out now after essentially fleeing her home, meaning that before long she has to sit, take them off and shake it all out. A sitting duck if there ever was one.

"One more prank and that brat is in so much trouble..."

Ryoji laughs, but it's short, as he's unsure if it's something he should be laughing about. If not sand from the beach, then... well, that's what he finds amusing.

"A sibling... or a friend? I'm imagining somebody carrying around a bottle filled with sand, just to sprinkle into another's shoes." He laughs again; he can't help it. Pranks to him mean fondness. "That takes a fair amount of dedication."

Well, they went to the beach in March, which will explain where it was found.

"My youngest sister, Dani. She is quite the handful at times..."

"How old is she?" Ryoji asks, imagining somebody who looks like Émilie but like... five.

[scarlet_devil]

"She's twelve." Just about half the age of Émilie herself. Despite... this, she adores her.

"Ahh. Twelve." That's the age where things start happening. There's no words of advice Ryoji can give, never having siblings and not having that long-term rapport with other younger children, so he just shrugs and takes a step back to leave.

"Unfortunately, I can't offer anything except, well. Good luck!"
