[mellifluently]

[Mahalia has already spoken to Fela about adding a room onto the little house her older sister made, but she wasn't quite so quick to create it as Fela had been. She hadn't brought that much dirt back with her, and she didn't want to make any mistakes.

Inspired by Dejana's home, she wanted to fit as much of her parents as possible into one space, and she'd deliberately taken days of careful planning, visualising the exact shapes and placements of things and where they would fit. It was only when the whole thing came to her mind as easily as it would have done if it was a true place in her memory that she decided it was time.

She sees Fela lazing outside and isn't sure if she should disturb her. But it is her sister's home, even if she does have prior permission, so she goes to her.]

Fela? I'm ready to try building.

[She has taken a great amount of pride in her little house. Fela has, really, very little concept that the structure she had envisioned for herself was simple, that perhaps she could have furnished herself more comfortably. It made her happy just to have it, rooted firmly into the ground and belonging to her. It was a novel sensation to her when she could barely keep hold of her own memories.

There were memories in the house now. Little routines that triggered themselves, smells the reminded her of a friend, items that had gathered themselves on the shelves and counters that represented something special. All hers, all important, but she did not mind sharing it with Mahalia, did not mind at all in fact. She would have left any of those things behind in favor of her sister. As it was, the Garden offered them an alternative and Fela was more than happy to let her little sister make as many additions to the house as she wished.]

Hm?

[She stirs from her light doze slowly, stretching out before shielding her eyes, smiling.]Are you?

[mellifluently]

I have it in my mind. I just have to...

[She has kept the sand she collected in the wild dunes gathered up in one of her head scarves, and she clutches it now, a little nervous, a little excited. She wants it to work. She wants a part of her home here, a part of her parents. For herself, and to show Fela.]

The space we agreed?

[Planned out so as to link into the existing house, although a doorway would probably have to be created once it was placed.]

[Fela pushes herself up from her sprawl, combing her hair back into order with her fingers as she stands. She gathers up her blanket just to be tidy, putting it over one arm as she comes to join Mahalia in looking at the house.]

Yes, that should be fine. I'm excited to see it.

[While there had never been any doubt in her mind that her sister would stay with her, Fela's concept of privacy and personal space was rather different. She's more than happy to accommodate Mahalia in whatever way makes her happiest.]
