Azelma tried to focus on anything not in the back of her mind screaming she should go out and fix it by... She’s not going to give it the right to even think it properly. It wouldn’t be good for the baby. She whimpered and held onto the pillow, just waiting for her sister. She knows Éponine is going to come to her. Knows her sister a little too well to doubt her safety in this.
Yet when she heard the door knocked on then open she couldn’t help the skip of her heart as she panicked and tried to hide behind the bed.
And that was why Éponine wasted no time in coming into the room and shutting the door behind her. She wasn’t going to allow Azelma to risk anything more. “It’s okay, ‘Zelma... it’s just me. I’m not going to hurt you... you know I never could.”
Despite knowing it was her sister she began grabbing pillow after pillow on her bed to begin construction of a fort. Unfortunately for her she couldn’t reach the other side of the bed to get the pillows and still keep her very nice looking fort standing and let out a frustrated noise through tears.
Éponine took that as her cue to cross the room and come to her, still keeping a decent gap between the two of them. She didn’t want to crowd her, not at a time like this. “I’m here to help... just like always.”
“Come... help me... f-finish... the fort. Then...” Tried to keep at least semi calm. “Sit in... it with me?” Bit her lip and tried to tug at the blanket to get the rest of her pillows.
It was a good thing that they both understood the value of a good pillowfort. That was the reason why Éponine herself still had a massive amount of pillows, after all. “Of course... anything for you, little shadow.”
When she got to sitting with her she pushed close and tried to calm down, crying rather hard. This sucked. “Why are we so... crazy. How can anyone actually want us?”
Éponine held her as close as she could, lightly rubbing at her back. “We can’t help who we are, what we’ve been through... guess the people we’re with can just see past all that.”
“It makes them such amazing people...” Leaned against her and yawned. “I’m so tired...”
“If you need to sleep, I can stay here...” Sometimes, having someone nearby helped ward off the nightmares, made the world that tiniest bit of a better place. “I want to help keep you safe.”
“I’d like that... I liked when we got to sleep together.” Nuzzled closer and shut her eyes, trying to focus on just sleeping and not their past.
Honestly, it was one of those few things about having to share a bed that Éponine had always liked... she lightly ran her fingers through her sister’s hair, pressing a kiss against the top of her head. She’d stay here until Azelma said otherwise, however long that might take.
