Arrakeen, Arrakis, Saturday Morning
Hania pouted. "Why don't I get to be a boy?"
Leto, who currently looked exactly like his twin sister, grinned at her. "You were unlucky, perhaps. But I think you would have to have lived in Fandom, not just visited."
The girl dropped down on the couch next to him - her - and didn't look pleased. "It's unfair."
Leto wrapped an arm around her. After a couple of minutes of doing an impression of his sister, the real Ghani had showed up and revealed the whole thing to Hania. Well, they had her guess which one of them was actually her father. She guessed wrong.
"But you know, you, Ghanima and your mother are the only ones who know this." It had been easy for Alice to figure out, since it had happened before and she never shared a bed with her sister in law. "Which means we have a secret." His grin widened. Hania liked secrets, at least if they were her secrets.
"So, we don't have to tell Irulan? Or Farad'n? And we could go to Tabr?" This idea clearly improved her mood.
"We don't have to tell them," he said. "Wouldn't it be a good game to see how long it would take them to figure it out?"
It would be a brilliant game.
[NBF. Of course I couldn't resist. Can be open if you have any reason to call Leto or be on Arrakis.]
