Who: the Sinclair-Wood sisters, aka Tessa & Mallory
What: stuck on rounds together. Oops.
When: Wednesday evening
Where: around the castle.
Warnings: tension? TBD
Status: Incomplete
Tessa's two plans for the evening could not have been more contradictory. She had plans with Dominique tonight, to plant mistletoe traps around the castle for their use over the next few weeks. Flustering the arseholes in the castle was a game that Tessa usually enjoyed, and Dom made her feel more comfortable in her own skin, but of course -- tonight, she had to do one of the things that made her feel most uncomfortable first, and that was spend time with her sister.
It was awful, that spending time with her sister could make her feel so insecure, but she didn't know what to do about it. All it seemed she could do was endure it, for the sake of family. The idea of confronting Mallory about it was one she had dismissed a long time ago, out of fear for what might come out, for fear of making things even worse. Still, it distressed her to think that they might be spending their rounds tonight in an awkward silence, or making uncomfortable conversation, and her usual tendency towards anxiety wasn't helping matters at all.
Tessa stood waiting for her sister, rubbing her hands together and trying not to think about it. She was mostly being silly, she knew. Mallory loved her, even if she didn't entirely like her -- and really, her nerves only exaggerated the problem in her head, thereby making it worse. Life would be so much easier if she were more of an optimist.
