Solo or RP Format
Counts as 5 RP growth Points
Solo word minimum is 750, RP post minimum is 7
Another year has passed in Tendaji, meaning a new opportunity for the residents to accomplish their goals and dreams. Typically, this is a time for setting promises to oneself and others on what to do in the year ahead. There are many different superstitions on how to make a New Year's Wish: some toss their written wishes into the sea, others will burn them at a shrine, and even more will whisper them to representatives of the gods.
No matter how one goes about doing it, all will take the time to ensure that their wishes and promises have the best chance to come true in the New Year.
[ What is your character's promise for the New Year? Go about their practice of setting their goals and dreams in the way they feel is most important. Maybe they go to the shrines, or wish under a star, or honor the god(s) they follow. The goal of this World Event is to make a wish for the next year however your character chooses fit. ]

With the new year upon them she wanted to get a new look. Something different from her kid attire that she was used to wearing. While it wasn't bad she wanted something a bit more geared for her teen years but of course still pretty and suited to her.
As she looked around the market for the perfect place to go she caught sight of a certain someone she wasn't overly fond of. Seeing Siel was like someone pushing her 'annoyed' button and it getting stuck. Nykinae stared for a second, silently judging the boy, before she simply turned with a flip of her hair and did her best to ignore his presence. Instead she found something to look at that she might be interested in buying.

With the new year came a plethora of new changes. Siel was a few inches taller, no doubt thanks to his father's blood, and a little muscular thanks to all the extra chores. It seemed that the more trouble he got into the more work Siel was tasked with and while that normally got under his skin, seeing as Morain and Lutana got off so easy, today he couldn't find it in him to care. He'd slipped away! Right out from under their noses!
Without so much as a coin to his name the teenager strolled the marketplace basking in the glow of freedom. At some point either one of his siblings would rat him out or he would no doubt walk into his fathers, but until then Siel was as happy as could be. Even when his fortune started to turn he couldn't help grinning. A smarter man would have taken the hint and walked away, especially if he was trying to remain unnoticed, but Siel was not a smart man.
Instead the taller teen kicked up his pace to sidle up next to her. "You wound me, princess! Really, my heart is in absolute tatters after that harsh dismissal."

She thought that perhaps he would have gotten the hint that she was less than pleased to have come across him during her shopping experience. However, she heard his voice right beside her and she had to take a deep breath before she turned her head to look at him. Kina forced a smile but it didn't reach her eyes at all. "I really dislike that you call me that. I'm not your princess." To her the only people allowed to call her that was family. She turned away from him again, giving the earrings she'd found her attention. Nykinae picked them up and brought them to her ears before she checked the looking glass that was set out for customers to use. They were a pair of beaded earrings and she was trying to decide whether or not they looked good on her.

"No, you're definitely not." Siel couldn't help, but to laugh. "Somedays you're the witch who haunts my nightmares and others, when I think of your face covered in seawater..." He smirked. "You're like a living goddess. A painting come to life." His split eyes crinkled as his grin only seemed to grow. Siel was truly a brat, knew it, and didn't really care to change.
He may have turned away, truly, if she hadn't turned towards the earrings. They were a cute little set, but he just...Clicking his tongue, Siel looked over the offerings and picked up a delicate little golden pair instead. They were a little pricier, but the metal work seemed worth it in his eyes. "Try these instead. They'll look better with your eyes."

The bratty insults were met with her gritting her teeth. Trying to ignore Siel when he was right there was difficult. Only because he managed to say just the right things to irk her. Kina was in the process of taking a deep breath when she heard his tongue click. "... Yo-" She stopped when he told her to try a different pair to go with her eyes. She put the beaded set down and took the golden pair instead. One was brought up to her ear but she didn't look at the mirror. Instead Kina seemed to show it off for Siel. "What do you think?" Her other hand went under his chin to make sure he was looking. "Your Goddess needs to look beautiful." Siel was a brat and Kina was a snob. She liked to look good and hated when others thought they were better than her and hers. "Hm?"

"As she does~" Siel cooed, smiling as bright as the stars themselves as he looked at her. For all of her faults, for which the pompous little git had plenty, Kina really was a natural beauty. Siel had absolutely no qualms with letting her know it, either, even if it was feeding into her bloated ego.
He didn't mind having his head led around like some sort of dog. In fact, the teenager even moved into a sort of crouch so that it would be more comfortable on him and when the stall vendor quirked a brow he just chuckled. "Worshippers will come from far and wide to bask in your glory. Nations will fall at your feet and empires will spring from the ashes."

Him crouching down was nice since he was far taller than she. Of course the fact that he could flatter her so easily made her slightly annoyed. Kina squinted her eyes at him. "Mhm.." She set the golden earrings down and while she seemed to be looking over the selection a bit more she grabbed Siel by the front of his shirt and pulled him closer. "And you? Would you fall at my feet?" If he claimed a nation would be he wouldn't then that would mean he was greater than they. Nykinae truly wished to know if the boy thought himself so great. She thought he was cute, something about him always drew her eye, but he was a brat. When she turned her head back to look at him they would be close enough for her to look him in the eye and judge whether or not he lied.

"Woah!" Siel's mismatched eyes widened as he was jerked forward and for a moment his balance was almost ruined. He took a hasty half step forward just to avoid falling into her. What kind of girl is this? The older she got the bolder she became and he had yet to decide if that was a blessing or a curse.
Can't hurt to find out.
When his senses returned to him Siel laughed, and just as quickly his laughter turned into a devilish grin that only made his golden eye shine all the brighter. "Ne-ver." He said it slow and precise. "If someone built a temple in your honor I would burn it to the ground and an empire? Well, I'd raise an army and conquer it."

There it was! The sharp side of his tongue. Kina gave a slow smile to his response. His hasty step forward had been unexpected but she couldn't blame him, it kept him off her at least. Still keeping the hold on his shirt she moved her other hand to his waist, letting her fingers touch him like she might embrace him, but kept going past him in the end. "Good, even a Goddess has standards." Kina insinuated that he was beneath those standards. The hand that had slipped past him grabbed the ink well that the shop keeper was using for inventory and brought it up to pour over Siel. With him crouched down and pulled close there was no way for her to miss getting the black ink all over him and his shirt. With a perfectly innocent smile she looked up at him. "While you are pleasing to the eye, this Goddess is done with you." She put the empty ink well down and let go of Siel's shirt so she could take a step back.

Any retort he'd had died on his tongue the moment something started to slide down his hair and onto his clothes. Siel grit his teeth, closing his eyes for the briefest of moments before he slowly turned to see that it was - ink?! Baba is going to kill me! This was so much worse than just getting seawater on his clothes! At least that could be washed but now...now they were ruined.
She may have been done with him, but he was far from done with her. As she was taking her half step back Siel turned his leg, just enough to catch behind her heel and yanked, hoping to make her fall. It wasn't much, but he was nothing if not petty.

Seeing as he didn't have some witty comeback she was thrilled. A smug look was given as she stepped away from him. However, when he went to trip her she went slightly wide eyed and grabbed hold of him by the shirt again. Kina was trying to gain her balance. So long as he kept his then it would be fine. If he didn't then they were both going down. "You! Idiot!" She glared at him. "Don't you even think about getting me dirty!"

Just like the incident with the ocean, Siel was primed to be brought down with her. Unlike that time, however, the boy had gained his footing and instead slipped an arm behind her back to hold Kina steady. He stumbled a bit, enough for him to reach out for the stall with his free hand, but thankfully they were both kept mostly upright.
"Yeah, actually, I did." He laughed. "Seeing you covered head to toe in mud would be the greatest thing in the world, but seeing as I'm already dirty enough as it is I think I'll spare you. Just this once and only because you like me so much you couldn't help clinging to me in your time of need."

With Siel stumbling she had a look of fear, like they might actually go down into the dirt. When she didn't end up all dusty she seemed to breath easier but what he said made her look at him as if he'd slapped her. Did she hear that right? He wanted to see her covered in mud? Covered!? Nykinae quickly let go of him and glared. "What else was I supposed to hold onto? Your imaginary friend!?" A huff and she straightened herself, fixing her shirt and then her hair. When she looked at him again she gave a look that said she was unimpressed with his appearance then rolled her eyes with a sigh. Kina gave a flip of her hair as she turned, pushing the long locks over her shoulder, but her hand stayed up so she could motion for Siel to follow her with two fingers. "Come along little worshiper."

She may have gotten a little taller, but Kina's the same as always. So much was changing with time, and while he'd hoped that maybe the stuck up little 'goddess' would have changed her tune it seemed that she was just as entitled as always.
Maybe it was because he was bored, or perhaps he was just as masochist, but Siel followed along with a snort. Little worshipper? That was a nickname he was going to have to n** in the bud lest his siblings find out about it.
