I keep stars in my pockets
wear daisies in my hair
wear daisies in my hair
The thoughtful pause has Nova biting her lip, leaning forward in anticipation. Then he's agreeing to their every term, adding that her designs would be in the windows and she absolutely adores that idea. She hops in her delight, trying very hard not to squeal. "I'd love that! I'll send you some sketches tomorrow!" It shouldn't be too hard since she won't be able to sleep with all the excitement.
She lets Caly sign on the dotted line with a handshake then twirls out of the shop with a flurry of sparkles and a giggle. Her steps are light and her thoughts running on an adrenaline high that doesn't abate even as they make their way inside. The pile of different fabrics plops on a table, aesthetically pleasing in the low dusk lighting of the bar.
Almost like she's been given a cue, Nova steps up next to Caly, all glittering energy and spastic excitement as she bounces. "Don't forget to tell him how good you did!" Looking to Vesper, she beams and gushes with pride. "Caly was amazing! The fabric lady had already promised this one to another guy, but Caly convinced her that it was better - what was it? 'Advertising'? - I don't know, but she got her to give it to us instead of him!" Laughing, she leans farther on the bar, her feet lifting from the ground as she kicks them out. "And then the lighting guy didn't want to make more star gems, but Caly flashed him a sunny smile and he was agreeing to upgrading the one he had and adding two more! Now the whole place is going to be covered in starlight!" Nova throws her arm out as she pictures the thousands of little stars that will scatter the room, a hint of illusion magic making it flicker with her thoughts before she's turning back to Vesper. "Isn't she the best?! She can convince anyone to do anything!" Her eyes find Caly, sparkling and completely convinced that her sister is secretly a demigod.
Then, as if she's only just remembering in the midst of her sister's amazingness, Nova adds, "Oh! And I get to draw lampshades that he'll put in the windows!" She lets out another loud giggle, designs and ideas already flowing through her head, obnoxiously bright and beautifully complex.

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