"Oh no! What should we do?" Aristia asked with the same fervour, an expression of horror on her face.
One look at her face had Leilani bursting into laughter. She quickly regained her composure.
"We have to cleanse the princesses in the river." She said seriously, then chuckled. "They need a bath."
"Alright, this princess has forgotten where the bath is. Can princess sister show me?" Aristia asked.
"Oh, forgetful princess. I will show you. Look there!" Leilani pointed at a small bucket of water some distances away.
"Oh! I remember now! How could I be so forgetful?" Aristia patted her forehead, causing Leilani to giggle almost endlessly.
Leilani quickly went over to the bucket. "Come quick, princess sister. We have to wash so that we won't smell. Hmm, she's already starting to stink." She pinched her nose and blew the air away with her other hand.
This time, Aristia laughed heartily. [This girl. Really.]
She followed to the bucket and waited to dip her doll.
