Tai went completely still, whatever small bit of rationality she'd picked up from her sister trickling through to make sure she'd heard Kohe's words right.
It took only a second and then she was all but vibrating, eyes wide and excitement unrestrained -- Kohe had said she was feeling better, and Tai could feel it was almost completely true; there was still a shred of uncertainty, but she'd long since learned that as long as Kohe dreamt of things that had and might never happen, she might never be all the way okay -- as she realized what Kohe said was not only true (as usual) but very, very, very good news.
She sucked in an excited squeal of breath, then released it all at once, blurting, "OhKoheReallyYouReallyMeanItWowOhMyGoodnessICan'tWaitI'mSoExcitedWowIHaveToGoAskPapaAboutItRightNowThankYou!"
Whether or not her sister understood her individual words didn't really seem to matter, as Tai knew Kohe would pick up on the meaning, even without her odd abilities. She bolted forward in a blur of purple, white, and black, making it all of two steps before her foot caught in a pair of leggings strewn across the floor. She went sprawling, wings flailing uselessly for balance, then jumped up again, oblivious to the mass of leaves from the 'nest' she'd rescued now caught in her hair. And then she was bounding toward Kohe again and enveloping her in a hug, nearly dropping the two of them to the floor before running out, down the hall, and to her parents' room.
It was still early -- Kohe always woke early now -- but Rora and Mori were used to their younger daughter waking them by now, and while she'd long since broken the habit of crawling into bed with them, she was still plenty excitable. Rora half woke, feeling the jolt of ecstatic energy just before Tai reached the door.
"Goddess, what time is -- "
"PAPAPAPAPAPA!" was all the warning they got before Tai came barreling into the room with no sign at all she'd woken just minutes ago. Rora hid a wry smile and started to wake her mate.
"Mori, watch -- "
And then Tai had taken a running leap to tackle her father in much the same way she had Kohe. The younger of the twins had never quite progressed to Kohe's more mature 'Mother' and 'Father' title, but that suited Rora just fine. Their twelfth nameday was fat approaching, and while she was naturally excited to celebrate, she couldn't help but feel her little ones were growing far too quickly for her. Little Kohe almost reached her mother's shoulder, and Tai wasn't far behind.
"Papa, Kohe told me the good news, and I'm so excited, I can't wait to go flying, I -- "
Tai felt the pang of emotion from her mother like a jab to the side, and instantly, her sails deflated -- at least, a little. It took only a moment to realize that even if Mori had known about it, Rora hadn't. Or she'd chosen to ignore it.
She turned to Mori, half horrified, half expectant.
"That's today?!"
Tai brightened. "Mama, you knew?"
Rora gave no sign of having heard her daughter, and Tai's wings drooped just slightly as she realized she may have gotten her father in trouble.
"Um...Mama, I'll be careful, I promise! I've been practicing."
Rora gave Tai a measured glance. "Yes, I know," she said drily. Everyone had seen Tai at least once, standing out in the center of the courtyard, flapping her wings against any stiff breeze she could find, her face twisted into a mask of concentration as she made jerky, uncoordinated circles behind her. Once, just a few weeks ago, Kohe had found Tai halfway up a tree, balanced on a branch, and ready to jump. Tai had agreed to climb back down only when Kohe threatened to tell Mama.
Tai's face fell into a practiced pout, but Rora was unconvinced. Tai had never been as good at 'the pout' as Kohe, who used it much less often, and with much more efficacy. Tai would always break into giggles before anyone could be convinced of anything.
"Aw, Mama, pleeeeeeeease?"
Rora gave Tai a look before turning her attention back to Mori. "Where are you taking her?" she asked, knowing Tai couldn't listen in, even if she could pick up on their emotions.
