The boredom that had been hanging over Cassian all afternoon vanished completely, replaced by an unmistakably excited grin as he looked down at Fenja.
She was kneeling in front of him while he sat comfortably on the edge of the bed.
For the first time, he had the chance to properly compare the two sisters.
Fenja's light blonde hair had been braided from the front before gathering into a long, slightly loose ponytail, allowing the rest of her hair to retain its natural volume. A few stray strands framed her face, softening what was otherwise a rather sharp and composed expression.
Truthfully...
Fenja was beautiful.
Compared to Kirja's softer features, Fenja possessed a more refined, almost noble kind of beauty. Her sharp blue eyes gave her face a quiet intensity, while the warm glow of the candlelight made her fair skin seem almost luminous.
Cassian couldn't quite tell what Fenja was feeling.
