Pluvia walked through the wide halls of the castle, exhausted. She had just spent her afternoon down at the training grounds doing basically a one-on-one session with Lord Hakurou because those dumb goblins just couldn't keep up as she could. Pluvia slowly made her way to her room, a maid keeping pace just a bit behind her. Pluvia knew that it was the woman's job to follow her around and do as she said, but she couldn't help but be annoyed by her presence.
" Waaaa!! Wahhh!! Waa! "
Pluvia paused before she could fully pass a room on her left. The sound of wailing emanating from inside was so loud, Pluvia was honestly surprised she hadn't noticed it till now.
" Who is that? "
She asked into the air. Even as she addressed the maid, she never turned to acknowledge her.
" I-It is the young master, my lady... "
' Tamura's being a baby again, huh... '
Pluvia's hand moved forward before she really even thought about what she was going to do, and in a moment of stupidity, she opened the door to her brother's room. Pluvia's eyes gazed passively over the messy room. Her brother was on his stomach in the middle of the room, kicking and screaming, as several maids around him attempted to console him. He threw toys and crumpled papers at them in a fit. It wasn't hard for Pluvia to figure out what had set him off. A plastic dragon toy was crumpled not too far away from him, his handprint engraved in it.
' Didn't control himself and broke his own toy and now is taking it out on those around him. What a brat... '
Pluvia shook her head silently as she mused over her brother's tantrum. Slowly and calmly, she stepped into the room and approached the crying figure on the floor. The maids noticed her first and quickly backed away from her brother while bowing to her. Stopping beside the young boy, she looked down at him coldly. The four-year-old hadn't even noticed she was there yet, too caught up in his own crying. Dropping to one knee, she laid a hand on the boy's head. Tamura looked up at her with red, tear-filled eyes. Lunging forward, his arms wrapped tightly over her shoulders as he buried his face into her and wept, babbling nonsense about his toy.
Pluvia was motionless for a few moments as all the maids held their breath. Then slowly and almost painstakingly, she wrapped her arms around her brother in a soft hug.
" Calm down, idiot... "
Gently, Pluvia ran her hand through her brother's hair as she stood up. While her brother was about half her height, he was by no means heavy for the young girl. Slowly and awkwardly, she carried her younger brother in her arms as she brought him to their parents.
Tamura had long since stopped crying but continued to sniffle as he clung to her tightly.
" It's alright... calm down... Mom and Dad will get you a new better one... "
" R-really? "
" Yes, really. Now stop crying, you big baby. "
" I-I wasn't crying... "
" Mmhm, sure you weren't... "
" I wasn't! "
Tamura's sad face slowly disappeared under her teasing and by the time the two arrived at the lounge where their mother was, he was already happily engaging in banter with her.
