Kitty nodded slowly, careful not to drip water anywhere, as she listened. She watched Jared get up to check on his brother, but her attention quickly went back to the book. Her eyes sparkled in curiosity as she silently studied the page. She softly started reading the page aloud, becoming more and more intrigued as she went. Finally, she spoke up a bit more, “You know, these gods of winter are fascinating. They remind me so much of the Snow Queen. You’ve heard of the story, right? Did you know it was adapted into a ballet?” Kitty straightened up a little in excitement, using her hands to illustrate her point as she spoke. “It’s such an attractive ballet. So much grace and intimacy. Two lovers separated by the jealousy of the Snow Queen, oh! What I wouldn’t give to do that ballet again.” With a touch of disappointment in her voice, she hunched over a little, resting her arms on her knees. “But of course, a big production like that requires an entire dance company. Not something I could ever do. Not here at least. It seems nobody here knows any sort of dance, let alone have the physical skill to handle professional ballet.” A smirk stretched across her face. “Nobody besides Jared’s shadow dancer I mean.”
Suddenly, the smirk evolved into a full smile. “Hey…” Kitty turned around to face Jens again, her voice containing hope once more. “Could that be a thing? Could Jared make more dancers and we could… like, merge the acts?” Kitty gasped in excitement as ideas started flooding her head. “Think about it! Shadows and fireworks! Dark and light! The elegance of the shadows and the passion of the sparks would create such a mood! Such setting! The ambiance! It’d be so riveting!”

Jens turned around, still in the doorway; ''Snow Queen ? I can't say I've heard that story... and I never saw ballet before your show. Mom was more about waltzes, so me and Jared could woo girls.'' he paused, chuckling, because Jared danced like he had two left hands instead of feet, and their wooing skills were under a heavy layer of dust from having never been used.
He had some sympathy for her when she hunced on herself in dissapointement, although his eyebrows rose disbelievingly when she mentionned Jared's shadows. They were a mimic on her own skills, they had no skill of their own, and he waited until she had suggested merging acts with her dancing skills, fireworks and his twin's shadow to say as much.
''When you say it like that it sounds truly marvelous...I'm sure everyone would love it.'' he said with a soft, encouraging smile, before frowning; ''The shadows were just mimicking you, so the skill is all yours. Honestly, I have no idea how many separate shadows my brother can make; and I'm not sure either if they could dance without mimicry. It would be a lot of work, co-ordinating this. What kind of numbers are you thinki-'' he abruptly stopped, not having expected to have arms embrace him, as well as his twin's shadow tendrils snaking loosely around him.
''Jen...'' mumbled a sleepy Jared, ''You w-weren't in bed with meeee.'' His stutter was almost completely gone as he nuzzled the side of his twin's head, as he had not yet noticed Kitty and was tugging his brother backward. ''I hate sleeping a-alone, y-you know that... j-just come to bed with me...'' he trailed off, noticing Kitty over Jens' shoulders.
''I-I'm s-s-sorry I-I-I h-hadn't s-s-seen y-you.'' he stuttered, jumping backward in dismay, wing tendrils flicking around nervously, those around Jens tightening in alarm, almost tripping while Jens flailed to regain his balance despite the fact that his twin held him tight (having managed to free an arm), and that shadows had snaked around his legs.
''Goddamnit Jared !'' Jens hissed at his twin, putting only a token effort to disentangle himself. It was more about the fact that they weren't in private, where he didn't mind too much when Jared was being possessive... (actually it was nice to be cared about that much).
Or maybe he was being insecure; both were pretty much the same for his twin...
Jared felt embarassed, not having known Kitty was there, and his wings were still in plain sight, though in a more defensive position - they hadn't been visible earlier, since he had been using all his personnal power reserve, which included them.
''Wh-what w-were y-y-you t-talking a-b-bout ? I-if i-it's n-not i-in-indisc-crete ?'' he asked timidly, still holding his brother tightly. Why had Kitty been talking to Jens alone...? She could have waited until he was awake; Jens had told him to rest while she was there and in hearing range. She'd seen him fall asleep, right ?
