Aria was upstairs in her and her sisters two story mansion-sized and was busy putting Sonata's clean clothes away in her dresser from the load of laundry she'd done earlier that day, she'd already made hers and Sonata's beds and had put her own clothes away that she'd washed earlier. Sonata was currently downstairs in the living room and Adagio was watching her, to prevent an incident from happening like what had happened the day before with the cookie, Aria'd specifically told Adagio not to offer Sonata anything, since Adagio didn't know what Sonata could and couldn't have because of her anxiety. Aria'd also told Sonata that if she wanted something to eat to come and ask her because Aria knew what she could and couldn't eat or drink because of her anxiety, she had everything written down on her phone. Aria always had Sonata's clothes organized in her dresser by colors, she was just finishing all Sonata's pink clothes in their designated drawers, she heard yelling come from downstairs, followed by what sounded like crying but she wasn't sure. Knowing what most likely was going on, Aria immediately set the laundry basket down that had her younger sister's clothes in it, turned and quickly walked out of Sonata's bedroom door and towards the stairs, her protective sister mode for Sonata taking over her, because she was fairly certain Adagio'd done something that made Sonata start crying.
Aria walked down the stairs, turned and quickly started to walk down the hall towards the living room, the crying grew louder as she got closer to the living room and she could now make out that Sonata was screaming her name through her sobs as she made her way to the living room.
"What happened?!" Aria asked in a slightly raised tone of her voice as she walked into the living room, quickly taking in what she saw, Sonata was sitting on the floor by the three toy horses she'd been playing with when Aria'd left her in the living room and she was crying really hard and was extremely worked up and Adagio was standing in front of her with her arms crossed and an angry expression on her face.
"Ari!" Sonata exclaimed through her tears, turning to look at her older and protective sister while she continued to cry.
"Come here." Aria softly said, walking over to her younger sister and gently bending down and picking her up. Sonata wrapped her arms around Aria's waist, her arms around her shoulders and buried her face into the base of her neck and continued to cry.
"Thank you. You can take this little brat and deal with her elsewhere, I'm done." Adagio exclaimed flatly, turning and walking back over to the doorway that led to the kitchen.
"Well what happened?" Aria asked flatly, gently rubbing Sonata's back to calm her down.
"Ask her. I don't feel like telling you, but, she can." Adagio answered before walking into the kitchen through the doorway.
"What happened Nata?" Aria softly asked her younger sister as she walked over and slowly sat down on the couch, continuing to rub Sonata's back to calm her down.
"I don't know, I was just playing with my toy horseys and she came into the living room from the kitchen and started to yell at me for no reason." Sonata explained through her sobs, starting to calm down a little.
"Adagio come back in here." Aria said, calling into the kitchen to get Adagio to come back into the living room.
"What?" Adagio asked flatly, appearing in the living room through the doorway a couple minutes later.
"Why'd you start yelling at her for no reason? She just told me she didn't do anything bad and you just started to yell at her." Aria asked, explaining to Adagio what Sonata'd told her.
"It wasn't for no reason, she was making those stupid little horse noises again and that drives me crazy." Adagio answered, gesturing to the toy horses on the floor and then at Sonata.
"She likes to make little horse noises when she plays with her toy horses, there's no problem with that." Aria explained, giving Adagio her "are you serious" look.
"I don't care. She's just a little brat." Adagio said, walking back into the kitchen again.
"Ari can we go upstairs to your bedroom?" Sonata asked a couple minutes later, she was still crying a little but she'd calmed down and had now moved her head to rest it on Aria's right shoulder.
"Sure. Do you want your toy horses?" Aria answered as she slowly stood up and gave Sonata time to adjust herself so she wouldn't fall, asking if Sonata wanted her toy horses.
"No." Sonata answered quietly.
"Ok, let's go then." Aria replied before turning and walking out of the living room and down the hall towards the stairs.
Aria turned when she got to the stairs and walked up them, reaching the top a few seconds later and then making her way down the hall, past Sonata's bedroom to her own bedroom. When she reached her bedroom, she shifted Sonata to her right arm before quietly opening her bedroom door, walked into her bedroom, turned on her bedroom light and then quietly shut the door behind her. After this she walked over to the bed, sat down and then moved to sit by her headboard and then set Sonata down on her lap, Sonata turned to look at her when Aria set her down on her lap.
"Ari." Sonata said a couple minutes later.
"What?" Aria asked softly, smiling at her younger sister.
"Am I a brat?" Sonata asked, looking at Aria with a questioning look on her face.
"No, you are not a brat, don't listen to Adagio, she just doesn't get it." Aria answered, gently leaning over and softly kissing Sonata's forehead.
Sonata didn't answer, she just nodded and then looked down at her hands which were now rested in her lap for a minute and then looked back up at her older sister.
"I love you Nata." Aria whispered as she slowly reached up and wiped Sonata's eyes and face with her left hand to get the tear stains off her face and the tears out of her eyes.
"I love you to Ari." Sonata whispered back, smiling at Aria, cheering up now that she was with her older sister.
