It was time for a break. Pausing her games, Mia stretches out her limbs and takes a lazy shuffle towards the kitchen, where boundless snacks awaited.
Unfortunately though, giggles from the bathroom kidnapped her attention;
“Now now…” Eve scolded gently. “You won’t get any cleaner like that.”
“I won’t get any cleaner with you in here…” Beth sighed in response, and at this point Mia had to poke her head in.
Of course Eve was ‘helping’ their little sister bathe. Half her usual size and getting probed at every angle by Eve’s curious fingers, the tween looked… politely uncomfortable, shall we say.
“Uh. Weren’t you watching TV downstairs?” Mia frowned at her big sister.
“I was,” Eve shrugged, “But then I went to see how little Beth was doing!”
“And uh, got in with her?”
“Well she’s at an important age, Mia!” Eve gasped earnestly. “All that puberty and stuff. I just wanted to make sure little Beth was developing properly!”
“And… why is she so little?”
“Well it just saves on bath water, doesn’t it?” Eve splashed at her playfully.
“That didn’t,” Mia sighed. “And getting on with her doesn’t either.”
“Course it does. You don’t need to run another bath if you share.” Eve smiled warmly, and Beth squeaked in response to her fingers exploring. “Speaking of which, wanna join us? There’s plenty of room…”
