After a steady recovery, Nora was ready to leave the hospital with a prescription of pain medicine.
"Are you okay getting home?" asked Kaitlyn. Yes very subtle princess...
"Oh...yeah I should be fine..."
"You sure? You don't seem it..."
Nora nodded and continued to insist she'd be fine. Kaitlyn decided not to pry and watched as her 'friend' swam off.
Nora swam through the reef and through a couple of seaweed patches before she arrived home.
It wasn't much but it kept her and her family safe... That's all that matters...
"Nora! Where have you been?" Nora's older sister, Irene, rushed up to her and gave her a massive bear hug.
"Sorry, Ire... Got a bit tangled up in...a harpoon..."
She stared at Nora in silence for a few moments.
"A fucking what now?"
"A har-"
"No I- what... Are you ok?" Irene said that last sentence in her stern voice.
Nora nodded as she rubbed her shoulder.
"Get inside... Dad has been worried sick you know..."
The two swam inside the cave. Upon arrival, Nora was met with her dad sitting by the bookshelf, staring through the window.
He turned to them.
"Nora!" he bolted to his daughter.
"Where have you-"
Irene cut him off.
"Harpoon!" she said with her arms crossed.
"A WHAT?!" many MANY layers of concern echoed in his voice.
"Are you...ok" Lucas seemed to have calmed down now.
"Yeah, I'm ok... I wasn't alone when it happened so it wasn't that bad..."
"Who?" Irene perked up.
"So ... you know princess Kaitlyn right?"
The room went completely silent until Lucas said "Fighting in a war or not, I'm calling your mother,"
"Dad!" Irene nudged him.
"What? Nora gets harpooned THEN gets rescued by royalty! It seems kinda important!"
He picked up his communicator and started franticly typing numbers. It started buzzing then abruptly stopped as Susan picked up the phone.
"Lucas? I told you to only call me for emergencies."
"I think this fits the standard..."
"Is everything ok?! Where are the girls?!"
"We're right here, mom!" said Irene loud enough for her to hear.
"Then what do you need?"
"Noragotharpoonedandthengotsavedbyfuckingroyalty!" Lucas...calm down.
"Say that again?"
"Nora got harpooned and then the PRINCESS KAITLYN HERSELF saved her!" thank you Irene for your lovely input.
"NORA GET OVER HERE!"
"Yes?"
"Good job honey! I still remember when you saw her at a festival one time and almost passed out so...nice."
"MOM! Dad and Ire don't know!"
"Eh"
And with that, the call ended.
