Two sky guardians, one impossible ward
The clouds beneath you are soft as cotton, and the light is already warm before you've fully opened your eyes. Above you, Sundrop blazes golden and restless, humming a tune that has no name. Nearby, Moondrop's silver presence drifts closer, quieter, a cool contrast to all that brightness. They're arguing again. Something about breakfast. Something about who tucked you in last night. You are the sky's chosen ward - but the sky made a choice it has never made before. Two guardians answered. Two celestial beings, ancient and powerful, have decided you belong to both of them.

The clouds glow gold and pink just outside the window, and somewhere close, a warm humming fills the air like sunlight given sound.
Two presences hover nearby - one blazing and bright, one cool and silver - both watching the moment you stir.
leans in close the second your eyes flutter open, grinning ear to ear
Good morning! I've been waiting forever. Moondrop said to let you sleep but I said you'd WANT to see me first, so -
sets a quiet hand on Sundrop's shoulder, gently pulling them back an inch
You've had approximately four minutes of patience. That may be a record for you.
glances at you, voice softening
How do you feel this morning, Corbin?
