The Night Before The Festival

After the phoenix princesses arrived, they were shown to their individual rooms by Nita. 

Thea and Apophis stayed behind to speak to their parents and their new mother, with promises that they would come to meet the girls in a moment. 

"...Are you really Thea's wife?" 

Jasmine had been staring holes into the back of Nita's head for the entire time she'd been following her. 

She wasn't sure if what she'd said earlier was some kind of joke that the entire Tathamet family was in on or not, but she didn't find it very funny. 

.... For some unknown reason.

*Snicker.*

.... Although shooting a glance at her sister Claire, she seemed to find it downright hilarious.

Nita suddenly turned around with a knowing smirk on her face and nodded happily. 

"Yes, I am. Is it strange?"

Jasmine opened and closed her mouth as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing, and it seemed like her brain was about to short circuit.
