Princess Nina was relieved.
Utterly, completely, and adorably relieved.
Her brother chipmunk had comforted her, and now she felt safe enough to smile again.
"Brother, when I see you next time, I'll show you my art," she announced proudly, lifting her little chin with the dignity of a royal but the wobble of a child who had been crying not long ago.
"Oh? Wow, you have new art?" Luca tilted his head, genuinely excited about it. He'd always found her drawings adorable, much to the distress of a few guardians, although he still wondered if she really loved chipmunks that much.
"Yes!" Nina puffed her cheeks. "I drew Mr. Quackers as a heroic knight and Snowy as a flying dragon. Then of course, I drew my brother Chipmunk as the princess!"
From somewhere off-screen, Snowy sneezed as if rejecting the idea. Mr. Quackers gave a proud flap of approval.
