"I think it is late enough for us to go out," Elara said, her soft voice blending with the quiet hum of the night outside. The moonlight streaming through the window painted silver streaks across her floor as she glanced at the time, it was almost midnight.
"Finally! I can't wait to run for the first time ever!" Lily's voice rang out in her mind, full of infectious excitement that made Elara chuckle despite herself. There was such a raw, unfiltered joy in her tone that it almost felt like the air around them brightened.
Elara shook her head, her lips curving into a smile as she ran a hand through her hair, taming a loose strand that had fallen over her face. "You know, Lily," she said with a quiet laugh, "given how much I know you till now, it's like you're a little curious child who wants to try everything all at once."
