As Protos, Rahk and Ro found out very late that they hadn't needed to eat. Their guardian, Astan, had simply assumed they needed human sustenance and had offered it to them without asking, and since they had enjoyed it, the girls made a point of eating at mealtimes like normal people. It was only as Alters that they first experienced the sensation known as hunger. As much as they liked eating, they both had to admit they had liked things the way they had been in this regard.
In all other things, however, they vastly preferred the way things were now.
The freedom was perhaps the best thing of all. One of the very first lessons they had learned was that they weren't human and that if anyone found out what they were they would be taken away and experimented on before they were brutally murdered (or so Astan said), but that didn't make spending the majority of your outdoor time sitting in a backpack any easier. Now that they looked more like very short people, they had been given permission to go out alone.
"Only in the daytime and only between here and the old apartment," Astan had said. But the twins often went much farther than that.
Today they had spent most of the afternoon speeding through a shiny outdoor shopping complex, playing a strange version of tag in which they were both It. They ran up and down escalators, in and out of stores and through fountains seemingly at random, coming together every couple of minutes to tag each other as hard as they could, then dissolving into giggles before running off again. Well, one of the two giggled. The other looked like she was laughing, but no sound emerged from her parted lips.
They had come together this last time directly in front of a weird looking costume shop and had silently agreed to take a break. There was another series of fountaining spouts here and a couple of bathing-suit-clad kids darted back and forth between them. A nearby ice cream cart had provided the Essentics with snacks.
Ro looked up from her vanilla cone. Feel that? she asked. Rahk nodded. Someone's here.
