Title: The Peanut Gallery Rating: G Word Count: 212 Pairing: Briar/Daja/Sandry/Tris Round/Fight: 2/C Summary: In which Daja's young lady is given some advice. (Sibling Duty, #3)
She seems nice, Sandry announced.
Sandry--
Has a head on her shoulders, Tris added.
Tris--
You should get back to your lunch, Briar told Daja through their link. She might think you're not paying attention.
There was a flare of annoyance on the other end. Daja, nevertheless, closed her mind off from her siblings' mutterings, and hid her blush as the other woman -- several years older than Daja -- ran her fingers up Daja's arm.
Unfortunately, this only encouraged the other three to make their conversation verbal, when Daja had to go and take care of a piece in her forge.
"Daja's been hurt before," she heard, drifting in from the other room.
She slowed, unable to quell her curiosity, even as she checked whether her Living Metal creation had lost their shape in any way.
"It was a very serious relationship." That was Briar, and to Daja's astonishment, he actually sounded somber.
"DON'T do anything if you're unsure," that was Sandry again. "Or we'll know about it."
Daja's friend's reply was too quiet to be heard. Nevertheless, Daja resolved to shake it out of them once she found the opportunity -- right after she told them, in no uncertain terms, to stop sticking their noses into her business.

Hahaha. Just like Sandry to notice 'nice' and Tris to notice the lady's sense--and Briar to note Daja's straying attention (he's the master, after all). So fantastic. alsdkjfaklsdjf the fact that you mentioned Daja's lady is older somehow made me melt. Only I'm still not sure if I want to be Daja or switch with her lady...

Thank you! Tris's response was one of the last things I did, because her first didn't seem like her.
