Life had been hard for Procne Agnes after the Newhaven Riots had occurred. Almost all of her family was dead and the one that did survive was off who knew where, doing who knew what, and causing her twin sister no end of worry. Procne loved Philomela, very very dearly in fact. But she'd be lying if she said that the other young woman didn't make her want to rant and rave and scream her frustrations out to the skies. And that wasn't the end of her issues since the Riots, no far from it. Procne had wanted to keep the family home. Truly, she did. But between the bills quickly piling up and her own salary not making anywhere enough to cover them all, as well as the... well, the sheer pain of being there, it just... wasn't feasible. Procne could not bear to stay there any longer, even if she could afford it. Selling the house was the only option she had. At least the money was enough to clear up any existing debts, along with a good chunk of cash that she could put into a savings account. The whole thing was undesirable, but at least it helped the depressed Procne be able to start moving on in her life. No doubt Philomela was unhappy with the decision too. She had left quite quickly and Procne hadn't seen her since. At least Procne had managed to give her her new address before the pink-haired sibling departed. Arceus above, where had it all gone wrong? Procne began to take a deep breathe, drawing in air before holding her breath for a moment and then slowly releasing. She found the little trick helped to steady the nerves. Only the dull glow of a computer monitor lit the dark living room of her apartment. It was nighttime in Citadel and truth be told, she should undoubtedly be getting to bed soon. A glance at the clock on her computer screen indicated it was 2 in the AM hours. She sighed, happy that at least she had the day off tomorrow. Maybe that was why she spent yet another night trying to find out anything she could about Philomela online. Some would call it unhealthy or even obsessive, but Procne just wanted her reckless sister to be okay. A dark skinned hand reached up towards her desk from the keyboard, taking up her cup of coffee before taking another sip. It was a good thing she already put Dove in her pokeball for the night. The Kirlia would be giving her no end of grief about this bad habit. --- Tags: Philomela Agnes |

Why? Why do you still delude yourself into working for them? Our parents have died, admittedly, they raised you to help keep up appearances, but surely you would have felt anger towards the Empire for their brutal reception of the peaceful protests. I don't understand. Maybe I can't understand? I'm sorry. But this is exactly what they wanted. I don't want to take this lying down.
Philomela had received a new address from her twin sister, Procne, shortly before the former had departed to take on her new responsibilities as a Speaker for the rebel group Spectre. Philomela was honestly confused, but she was rather incapable of understanding certain 'realities' of living life under the Empire. She carried ideals of fighting the tyrannical machine which bore down upon the people, yet she was unable to grasp the idea that some people just couldn't get out of their current situation. It would take long before Philo could appreciate the views that her sister Procne had, to be able to understand the reasons why her twin received news of their parents' death negatively rather than as a galvanizing force.
However, Philo had managed to get some respite from things in the dead of night. Making sure she could not be spotted by patrol, she decided to have the great idea to see Procne somehow. It was far too dangerous to go to Procne's apartment even during evenings, it had to be around this time. Using Winterberry's psychic abilities, Philo was able to trace directions to the address that Philo wrote according to Procne. Making her way to the door of Procne's apartment, Philo began to knock as gently as she could while at the same time trying to make sure Procne could hear from behind the door.
It was time for a reunion.

Tap....What was that? Tap tap.Procne lowered her cup of coffee down onto the desk once more. Damnit, was the neighbor throwing things around again? Tap tap tap.No... Wait... That was... Her door? Procne raised an eyebrow as she began to rise from her comfortable desk chair. She retrieved Dove's pokeball from where it lay on her desk as she moved away, a delicate finger placed upon the release button. As she drew closer to the door, Procne took a peek through the eyehole and caught sight of a very familiar pink-haired girl. Her eyes shot open and Procne drew away from the peephole, quickly beginning to undo the locks on her door. Her hands fiddled with the chain, unlocking it as well before a hand gripped the knob of her door and swung the door wide open. There, standing right in front of her was Philomela. The look on Procne's face was a mixed one of relief and happiness to see her beloved sister again. The darker skinned twin moved before her sister could say anything, her arms wrapping around Philomela and pulling her close in a tight hug. "Philomela..." She practically felt like she was on the verge of tears. Procne's greeting to her Philomela was almost always just like this. --- Tags: Philomela Agnes

Philomela waited for her sister to open the door. It took a while. Understandably. Her arrival in the dead of the night, combined with the dangerous circumstances of wandering around in this time, probably would have led Procne to act more cautiously when trying to open the door. Fortunately her twin recognized her and opened the door after undoing the lock. Prior to this, Philomela had already returned Winterberry to her Pokeball, so it was only Philomela at the door. Before the pink-haired woman could say or do anything she felt the arms of Procne pull her into a hug. Instead, Philo responded to the hug by wrapping her own arms around her dear twin sister, trying to step inside so that they could be safer inside the apartment. Stroking Procne's back, Philomela sighed with relief. "Yes, dearest Procne, I am alright. I am alive, right here, with you. I am truly, so sorry for leaving you alone for so long... I hope you can understand." Philo simply said, trying to enjoy these moments of warmth and loving reunion.
Inside, Philomela had a feeling that Procne harbored some frustration towards her cause, but Philo couldn't understand why. She couldn't really understand why Procne felt the way she did. Perhaps it could change tonight? But no, it was too early to talk about it. Philo had to assure Procne that she would be fine, that she would do her best to stay alive for her.

Procne could feel Philomela's arms wrapping around her in return, a feeling that she had long missed. It made her feel that, even if just for tonight, everything was going to be okay. After a moment, she could feel Philomena trying to step inside and Procne pulled her in through the doorway, closing the door with a quick movement of a hand. "Philomela, I've missed you so much. I need you with me." Her voice was strained and her embrace tightened. She didn't want to let go. Everything inside the dark-skinned twin said that if she did, Philomela would leave again. But after some time, Procne finally began to pull away. Her hands moved to her pink-haired twin's shoulders and her blue eyes gazed into Philomela's eyes. "I..." No, she couldn't say it not right now. After a moment, she sighed and then wore a tired and weary smile on her face. "You must be hungry. Let me make you something to eat." Procne always had been the cook among the family. Slowly, almost hesitantly, Procne finally pulled away and walked over towards the kitchen, flicking on a light switch. --- Tags: Philomela Agnes |

Philomela felt Procne's arms tighten around her, and she blushed when her twin said she needed her. Philomela didn't want to leave Procne either. A part of Philo wanted to convince Procne to join her in her crusade. At the very least, they would be together. But Philo also at least understood that their opinions differed. Philomela couldn't comprehend the reasoning behind their difference of opinion, but she knew that the difference existed. Eventually though, Procne hesitantly pulled away. Philo could feel her twin's hands on her shoulders, their eyes looked into each other. Procne wanted to say something, but quickly changed her mind by stating that Philo must be hungry. The pink-haired sister knew that Procne was a great and wonderful cook, but honestly, she wasn't very hungry. Mostly thirsty. Besides, poor Procne looked so tired and weary. Philomela walked over to Procne as she walked into the kitchen and turned on the light switch. Standing behind Procne, Philomela wrapped her arms around her twin sister.
"It's okay, Procne. I'm not hungry. I'm just thirsty. Most of all, I've missed you so much. I wanted to see you too. You look so tired yourself, I couldn't make you do all of that for me after I've left you alone for so long." Philomela said, giving her sister's neck a bit of a nuzzle.

Procne had barely taken a step into the kitchen area before Philomelia was right behind her and embracing her from behind now. A bit of a blush colored her cheeks as Philomela nuzzled her neck, all this time alone had almost made her forget just how affectionate her twin sister could be. Procne chuckled slightly. "Yeah... I guess you do owe me a little, hmm?" She playfully responded to the other woman before leaning into the embrace. One of her hands placing itself over one of Philomelia's. "Maybe in the morning though. Right now, I think I can sleep content for one night.""Ah, I didn't even think about you coming over though. Erm..." Procne scratched her head, the cogs not really working at this late hour. "I suppose there's the couch, but I don't have any extra blankets or pillows so..." Ah. That left one other place. "We could share my bed though." A small grin made it's way onto her face followed by a slight giggle. "Sheesh. How long has it been since we've done that?"--- Tags: Philomela Agnes |

Truthfully speaking, Philomela had almost forgotten how much she had been rather touchy-feely with Procne, even when they were young, they were often bonding with each other even though they were raised in radically different ways - Procne was to be the 'public' face of the Agnes line, while Philomela was the 'renegade soldier,' in many ways they were built to be opposites. Yet they truly loved each other, and related to each other in a way perhaps only siblings could. Philomela smiled as she felt one of Procne's hands touch her own. In fact, Procne didn't anticipate Philomela suddenly coming over either, so she neglected to prepare any extra beddings for Philo. Of course, that left only one alternative. Procne suggested they could share her bed. Philo giggled just as Procne did.
"I do not even remember, it has been much too long since we last did that, hasn't it?" Philo grinned, trying to hold Procne's hands. "That said, perhaps it was rather good of me to come so suddenly if it means we can relive our tender times together, dear sister. I have missed you so much and I wouldn't like anything more than to be able to be with you, physically, as close as possible."

Procne's fingers laced with Philomela's, a feeling of utter content washing over the silver-haired twin. There she was, with her beloved twin and feeling as happy as a Magikarp in water. Though a bit of a nagging feeling began to overtake her when she heard how physically close that Philomela wanted to be with Procne. She bit her bottom lip. Could it be that she...? There was only one way that Procne could find out. She simply had to say it. "Philomela... There's something I need to tell you." She removed herself from her sister's arms and turned around to face her proper. The less rebellious of the pair took in a deep breathe, pausing and releasing after a few seconds each. It was now or never, after all. "I love you. I really love you. But... I also love you as... As more than a sister. I need you. In so many more ways than one. I don't know what I'll do without you." She couldn't bear to look in Philomela's eyes right now, her cheeks a burning red against the darker caramel color of her skin. "I understand if you... don't want to stick around after hearing this. But, I really needed to tell you."--- Tags: Philomela Agnes |

Philomela stepped back in surprise as Procne removed herself from Philo, turning around such that they were standing face to face. Procne, who Philo knew was less rebellious than herself from their clashing points of view, would proceed to say something that would make Philo shake. Not in a negative way, mind. As Procne confessed her true feelings for Philo, the pink-haired twin couldn't help but also feel her cheeks go a deep red as she looked intently at Procne, who was also blushing madly. Philomela gently cupped Procne's chin with her left hand, gently stroking her chin with two fingers and moving Procne's head so they were looking into each other's eyes again as the silver-haired sister tried to avert her gaze. Despite the fact Procne thought that Philo didn't want to stick around, all Philo could think was... Why can't we just agree?" No, Procne, dearest. I could tell from the way you pulled me into your arms. From your voice, from your eyes. I'm so glad, you told me," Philomela said, stepping forward so their faces were very close to each other. " I love you too. Truth to be told, I hadn't really been occupied about thoughts of love these times. But when I saw you again, when I went to see you again, I was excited. I was so excited. I felt a burning feeling of passion well up inside me. I guess that means I feel just the same way towards you. No other person, man or woman, has ever instilled such a desire within me. Except you." Philomela expressed. Philomela wanted so desperately to ask Procne. Why can't you come with me? But she knew, that Procne did not want to get involved in these affairs. No matter what expert rhetoric she could employ, Procne was one of her kind. Even if they would be lovers, they were still family. They knew each other better than anyone knew either of them. For now, Philo knew she had to at least let Procne know she felt the same way. * tag Procne Agnes |

Procne's chin lifted and her head moved as Philomela moved to close the distance between them. Yet she was ready for the rejection, ready for the- And then Philomela spoke. She spoke about the way that Procne acted upon seeing her sweet sister once more, about the way that the silver-haired twin's presence caused the selfsame feelings in Philomela. Her sister loved her. As more than a sister. A beautiful smile began to appear on Procne's face once more. A mixture of her relief and the sheer happiness that she felt in the situation. There was a small bitterness left, that feeling of knowing Philomela would still go back into danger again. But now that Procne had managed to get out the one thing she held back from her twin sister, her lover, Procne had few regrets left in her life. "And it's the same for me. I've never thought of anyone else like this except for you. I needed to say it. And I'm very happy that I did." Her arms began to wrap around Philomela once more, drawing her sister close before placing a kiss upon her lips. "I love you, Philomela." A hand briefly reached out to flip off the light switch before Procne practically dragged her beloved into her bedroom. Nothing sordid took place, but the feelings of cuddling close to Philomela and being able to hold her sister in her arms again were more than enough. ... Morning came after a night full of shocking surprises. When Philomela awakened, she would not find Procne in her bed. Rather, she was in her kitchen area this morning, humming a happy tune while preparing a wonderful meal for herself and Philomela. It had been so longed since she cooked for someone other than herself. And in a fashion, she forgot how wonderful it did feel to cook for other people. If she wasn't an archivist, then who knew? Maybe she'd quit one day and become a chef instead. Eventually Philomela would wake up and enter the living room where she would be greeted happily by Procne, a beaming smile on her face as she happily called out a good morning to her beloved twin. --- Tags: Philomela Agnes |

The moment Philo saw that pretty, beautiful smile on Procne's face, she couldn't help it. She couldn't help but feel such feelings of affection and love for her dear twin sister. The only thing marring those emotions in her was the inevitability that Philo would have to leave again. However, she wasn't going to leave in the morning anyways. It was way too dangerous, even for her own standards, to be walking around the Citadel in broad daylight when she was basically wanted for treason. She risked enough to even come here to see Procne. But hearing the confession and being able to consummate their relationship made everything worth the risk. Philo attempted to press herself closer to Procne too when she felt her dear twin's arms wrap around her. Their lips pressed against one another softly. When Procne told Philo she loved her, Philo responded similarly. " I love you too, Procne." Philo said as sweetly as she could. She giggled softly as she felt Procne drag her into the bedroom, it seemed both of them were rather tired and wanted to spend the night cuddling together in each other's loving embrace. The sound of birds chirping outside signified the start of a new day. Philomela slowly opened her eyes and yawned, rubbing her eyes and realizing Procne was not in bed next to her. Blinking, she slowly got up and walked out of the room, being greeted by the pleasant and wonderful sight of Procne already up and about in the living room. " Good morning, sister dearest," Philomela smiled just as brightly back towards her. " How's my lovely Procne doing~?" she asked. * tags: Procne Agnes |

Procne giggled happily as Philomela greeted her in turn, returning her beaming smile with a bright one of her own. Ah, it really did feel like the start of a brand new day. Moving towards Philomela, Procne hooked a slender arm around her pink-haired sister's shoulders and drew her close, placing a kiss upon those sweet lips before responding. "Absolutely amazing, my beloved Philomela~." As she moved back to the oven top, Procne licked at her lips, enjoying the sweet taste of her sister that still remained there. "Breakfast will be ready in just a moment. I decided to make a whole spread to celebrate!"Eggs, bacon, toast, pancakes, sausage, it was a large breakfast to say the least. "Hmhmhm~. I haven't cooked this much in a long time. It feels so nice." Procne finished the last of the practical breakfast buffet. She set up three plates at the small table that she used for dining, a bit of a curious thing that was soon elaborated upon as Procne retrieved Dove's pokeball from where she had left it last night after Philomela's arrival. The capture device opened with a small pop and from a flash of white light emerged the Kirlia with a cheerful cry of it's own name. "We've got a guest today, Dove. Philomela's come over~!" She cheerfully informed her faithful Pokemon friend, the Kirlia turning upon the spot to look at the pink haired twin before curtsying and projecting a voiced greeting into her trainer's twin's mind with her Telepathy. After doing so, both Procne and Dove seated themselves at the small table. "Let's dig in!"--- Tags: Philomela Agnes |

Philomela was absolutely ecstatic to see her sister Procne in such high spirits. She blushed as she felt her silver-haired twin's lips once again press against her own before she responded by saying she felt really amazing. It seemed she was making breakfast. Honestly, Philo didn't remember the last time she tasted her sister's amazing home cooking. She idly wondered why Procne didn't just abandon her responsibilities as an archivist and become a pro chef. She could manage it! Even if she didn't want to associate herself with the conflict, she could be a chef and serve whoever she wished. She could be safe if she served those dogs from the Empire and at the same time she could be generous to anybody else. Philo at least respected choice. As it was, Procne didn't have much choice but to continue her work. Philomela walked over to take a peek at what was being served. It was quite frankly reminiscent of a breakfast buffet. Pulling out her Pokeball, Philomela sent out Winterberry, their father's Gardevoir, as Procne set up the table and sent out her Kirlia. Philo herself felt the telepathic voice of Dove in her mind, eliciting a warm smile from the pink-haired lady. Winterberry telepathically projected her voice into Procne's mind as well, expressing gratitude and thanks to this warm welcoming party. Byron sadly wasn't a stickler for breakfast like this, anyway, so he wasn't sent out at all. " Mmm, yes. Let's eat! I've missed your wonderful cooking, sister! Just looking at what you made makes my mouth water." * tags: Procne Agnes |

Dove was excited to see Winterberry again, even moreso than Procne who was still happy to see her mother's old Gardevoir as well. She was sure it that the angelic Pokemon was doing her best to protect Philomela. As the Pokemon chatted away in their own language, Procne giggled at Philomela's words. "Haha~! Well, thank you. I've really been considering becoming a chef of late. Maybe it'll be better than what I'm doing now." She flashed a smile, one that wasn't as bright as before, but not with the same weariness of last night. Just somewhere in the middle. "Now come on, eat before it gets cold." With that said, Procne dug into the meal before her. After a little while, she began to speak again. "By the way, Philomela. Have you managed to make any new friends while you've been away?" Her beloved sister had always been a solitary girl, though being out in the world proper may have at least helped her to grow more outgoing. It'd be wonderful if she could make some proper friends. Arceus knew that without her own trusted friends, Procne would have been alot more depressed instead of just having the occasional bout. She truly did owe them for helping her to properly grieve over her lost family. Well, lost save one very special lovely twin sister whom was now her lover as well. --- Tags: Philomela Agnes |
