[Third Person's P.O.V.[

•Gaito's castle•

Coralia and Gaito sat together in Gaito's chambers,the King of Panthalassa's head resting gently in the princess of Mediterranean sea's lap as he tried to sleep on the sofa.

Soft fingers comb trough his hair,sometimes finding knots in it,but neverthelessly slowly tracing past them.

"Sara's been acting differently for the past few days.Do you maybe know why Coralia?"Gaito asked while still keeping his eyes closed.

The fingers paused, then resumed brushing. "No"

Angry pink eyes suddenly opened to look up at the somewhat guilty peach ones.

"Don't lie to me Coralia,you know I hate lying"

"I know,I'm sorry"replied the once voice of the peach pearl,while she traced her fingers across Gaito's forehead,his eyes following the movements.

"It's just....Sara hasn't been talking to me much either,and I'm worried."frowned Coralia."But don't worry about me now,sleep.My problems aren't of your concern right now"

Gaito opened his mouth to speak,but the Princess' soft fingers began to brush his hair yet again,and the gray haired man found himself smiling against his better judgement,sleep slowly overpowering him.

•Later that day•

Soft footsteps echoed across the empty hallway but the princess of the Indian ocean paid them no mind as she stared at the endless darkness that's the bottom of the sea,seemly deep in thought.

"Sara" a gentle voice called her,but the said woman didn't hear it.

"Sara" the same voice repeated her name,this time more forefully, which brought Sara to finally look up at the source of the calling.

"What is it Coralia?Tell me."

"I just wanted to notice something. You've been distant lately....So much that we barely even talked."said the princess of the Mediterranean sea.

Instead of replying,Sara just laughed,then covered her laugh with her hand,but the amusement still danced in her orange eyes.

"Oh my dear Cora. Don't tell me you've missed me?"

"Maybe." replied the peach coloured mermaid quietly.

"Come here" said Sara gently, spreading her arms to give her younger cousin that's always been more of a sister to her a hug.

Without any hesitation,Coralia leapt into the older woman's welcoming arms,hugging her tightly.

"I'm not going anywhere" murmured Sara while stroking the younger princess' hair, "Trust me."

"I know." replied Coralia, "But I worry that that wrenched human Mitsuki would break your heart yet again."

Sara froze for a moment, though Coralia didn't notice as she continued talking.
