A young genome sat beneath a tall apple tree. He wasn't the tallest thing in the world, being around five feet, six inches tall, but he was strong and lean. Like most genomes, he had shoulder-length hair and a long monkey-like tail. His hair and tail fur were black. His eyes were yellow. He wore a black, sleeve-less tunic that showed off his chest, a pair of black boots, some blue pants, and a black beret with a white feather sticking out of it. The hat was worn at an angle, giving him a roguish look. He wore blue gloves that looked sort of like mitts except that the index fingers were seperate from the other fingers.
Kinta Bladetail was feeling quite moody, which was proven by the way his tail slowly thumped the ground over and over again. It was quite uncommon for him to be like that and it would no doubt make his companions worry. Well, what's left of them anyway.
Moon the arsial had to return to Manadara. His father, King Rowan, took the human babe Ayame, promising that he'll find a suitable home for her. Adli the wizard was killed in a battle. (Kinta's hand strayed to what was left of his right ear, which half was removed during that battle)
Kinta took a bite out of a tart apple, then sighed and dropped it. He didn't even want to eat.

Not too far from a particular apple tree, a boy, Ciro Silverhorn to be exact, was running as fast as he could from a girl no older than him. He was the same exact height as the person chasing him, which was about 5'5". His unique silver hair was short and parted to the side, his eyes were a dark purple. "For the love of god, I said I was sorry!" He yelled back to her, stumbling over a rock as he was making his escape. As he caught his balance, he looked up to see a stranger sitting among the tree's branches. "Hey, what are you-"
He was cut the second his pursuer leapt unto his back. She tugged at the sides of his cheeks from behind. He must have been used to this sort of thing to remain standing like that. "I'm gonna kill you, Oniichan!" She hissed. Her long silver hair reached her waist, but it was currently knotted and messy to the point that random strands hund down in front of her face. Big lilac eyes, one curiously darker than the other, that were normally filled to the brim with childlike excitement where now on fire from pure rage. She was wearing what was probably some form of pajamas, but instead of a cute nightgown her clothing was made up of baggy pants, an over-sized T-shirt, and no shoes what-so-ever.
"Come on, Evelina! I swear, I didn't-" He was interrupted a second time, but this time even what he did say was pretty much incoherent thanks to his pulled and sore cheeks.
"Didn't what? Think that the rooster you left sitting in my bedroom would wake me up at sunrise? Or that the freshly waxed would have me slipping every which way I went? Or prehaps you didn't realize that the little demon from your summoning spell would attack me when I happened to stumble upon it in the bathroom!" Her tone dripped with bitter sarcasism as she realized the hold on his face and hoped off his back. Before he could show signed of relief for his freedom, she brought over her leg in a round-house kicking style to send him crashing into the closest tree trunk.

[[It's alright, I understand.]]
Evelina blew some stray hair out of her face, fists clenched angrily at each side. She blinked in surprise, snapped out of her fury when she heard a voice addressing her from above. She craned her neck back farther than necessary, adjusting it's position when she saw where the source of the voice sat. She tilted her head just a bit to one side. "Oh, umm. . .thank you?" She was a little confused to find an outsider sitting in the tree, but this only jump started her curiousity as to who he really was in the first place.
"You little brat, that hurts!" Ciro groaned, his back against the very tree he had crashed into. He forced himself back onto his feet, making his way over to her. He placed his hand on top of her head before using the opposite arm to get her in a headlock. The "noogie" based punishment began afetr that. "Now now, you should present yourself lady. Instead you ran around half the town in your pajamas looking like-"
"Like a what?!" The girl shouted, stomping as hard as she could on his foot. He yelled out in pain, and she considered that just payback for the headache he had given her. With a short huff, she turned and started stomping off back toward the nearest houses, not even bothering to attempt to fix her messy bed head or straighten her not-so-flattering clothing.
The twin left behind sighed, rubbing the back of his head. He knew that was all he would have to deal with concerning his morning pranks, but he still didn't look forward to returning home where a huge mess awaited him. It was then that he remembered the stranger still up in the apple tree. "Hey!" He decided some tavern advertising wouldn't harm anyone. Besides, he had nothing better to do at the moment. "You got a place to stay?"

There was a crash coming from the direction of the kitchen.
"Evelina! My dishes!"
"Owwie. . .it's okay, really, I'm fine. It's not like I cut my hand on the broken glass or anything." The second voice could be heard as Ciro pushed open the door.
A sigh came from the cook, a slightly older woman who could be seen standing by the stove. She looked like a taller version of the youngest sister, but her hair was a pale pink and tied up in a loose bun. She kneeled down, wrapping up Evelina's hand with a clean rag. "You can bandage it properly later. . .wait a second, where did those bruises come from?!" The younger of the two was hidden by the wall, so her injuries remained a mystery to the eavvsdropping guests.
Soon enough Evelina was hurrying out into the dining area, her left hand wrapped up in the white cloth. "It's nothing!" She was holding up a tray in skillfully in one hand as she manuvered around tables. Her hair had been combed and made presentable by now with a small section on one side fashioned into a braid with a lilac coloured laced ribbon running through it, weaving in and out of her silver hair. Her waitress uniform was a cross between a maid outfit and something you'd find in an anime waitress cosplay. The girl slipped two plates as well as drinks onto a nearby table before leaning the tray against her hip and turning toward Kinta. "Oh, hi! Your the guy from earlier right?" Evelina smiled as she recognized him. She took a menu from the bottom of the tray, having been prepared for new customers. She handed it to him before turning to walk back to the kitchen. "I'll be right back to get your order!"

Kinta stuck his hand into one of his pockets and messed with the bag of gold inside. He could tell that he had more than enough money to pay for a room and meal. Those swords he sold a while back were really worth a lot!
When Evelina returned to get Kinta's order, then genome said, "I'm not very hungry. Some apple cider, please." Kinta paused a moment. "Actually, I think I would like some cheese and broccoli soup, grilled steak with mashed potatoes, a spinich and strawberry salad, an apple pie... No, wait, make that two pies. Some bread with honey, and..."
After about six more items, Kinta was finished ordering.
