I keep stars in my pockets
wear daisies in my hair
wear daisies in my hair
The man's rough response earns him a mocking tongue when he turns his back, and her magic shifts to place a dark, dreary rain cloud above his head that follows him discretely until he storms out of the store. She pointedly ignores him with a tilt of her head, smiling smugly as Caly earns them the pretty fabric, proud of the person she gets to call her sibling.
When the bolt lands against the table, her hand somehow reaches out from the folds of the other materials, snagging it to add to her pile like a hoarding chipmunk fitting just one more acorn in its mouth. Nova lets Caly handle the payment and whatever other sweettalking she's got planned, humming to herself as she admires their haul. It's not until they get outside that she talks again, bright and cheerful. "You're so amazing! That guy didn't stand a chance!" She giggles, adjusting the pieces in her arms so that she can squeeze her sister's hand, only letting go when the upholstery starts to shift.
Nova manages to arrive at the lighting store without incident, slowing as they approach the sparkling displays of glittering fixtures (and definitely not because they've already been there). Her mouth hangs open before curling up in a beaming smile, enchanted by how bright everything is, just wishing there was more color to make it perfect.
The blue of her wide eyes finds where Caly points, taking in the waterfall of crystals that hangs from the ceiling. Tiny stars are etched into the larger pieces, casting subtle pointed shapes in the light it emits. She smiles, her gaze glued to the shining structure. "Ooh. I like that one. Do you think they can add more stars? Like dangling crystal ones?" She looks to the merchant expectantly, the innocent sheen of her eyes not unlike a child begging for a piece of candy, threatening tears if the answer isn't to her liking.
Nova agrees with Caly's choice but wants to add more stars!

Nova
but I tuck you tenderly in the folds of my heart
and take you everywhere
and take you everywhere
