There was so much commotion in the street that day, it was a wonder that there wasn't a larger crowd encroaching on the building. To add to the curious sight, the building had only recently been opened. Or re-opened, renovated, who really knew with all the construction that was constantly going on? It wasn't as though Nina ever came down this way very often, either. She had mainly been curious about what sort of building it was as she scoped out the street, a county map that was folded over itself in hand. She had waited until the excitement had died down and the crowds were gone before she gathered herself up to visit the place. If there was one thing she hated about being outside, it was the masses of people.
That, and the high level of heat that started encroaching on the town as soon as the calendars neared summer. Her right hand was almost constantly shielding her dark eyes from the blinding sun, so she tried to stick to the shadows as much as possible.
It didn't take her long to notice what had caused the ruckus earlier in the day. Seems there was a new church that had opened just earlier that week, taking space on the site of where an old one had been before. It looked as though they were trying to conserve as much money as possible when building, however; it was obvious where new bricks had been laid on top of the old foundation bricks. She frowned at this discovery, thinking it was a bit of a shame, especially when it appeared that the older church was of a much higher standard.
Glancing up at the roof's mandatory decorations, she couldn't help but scoff even further. This place was just a patchwork mess when one took the time to admire the architecture. Unfortunately, that seemed to be one of Nina's hobbies when out and about.

It wasn't often that him and Edes agreed on something when it involved the twins, often one or the other giving in when true reason was given or the situation got out of hand and the one option was all that was viable. So when the twins started fighting, well, when Faedessi started whining and crying nonstop upon realizing how much more attention her brother was getting they had both figured a little separation was necessary. Since Fennyl seemed to enjoy being with Edes more and Faedessi only really calmed down around Cody, who got which twin was the easiest decision to make. Promising to not stray far and return as soon as she was asleep, Cody grabbed a bag of supplies and marched out the door with the baby in tow.
And of course, it quickly became apparent that was what she had wanted. As soon as they were a block away her crying ceased and instantly busied herself by playing with her father's similarly pink locks. He didn't mind terribly so long as she didn't decide to pull hard, which she never seemed to or want to do. It wasn't until he noticed the church to his right that seemed mostly empty that his journey to tire the girl out came to a pause for a rest himself. Edes and Fennyl were lucky, being able to make others drowsy so long as they were within the vicinity meaning the two had it far easier in the long run.
Cody gently shifted Fae to his other shoulder only to pause halfway. Wait, he recognized that dual-colored hair and odd tattoos. The memory of her was far clearer than most, as was their little adventure since he wasn't trying to piece together a hundred fragments into a single, solid memory. The old church and the strange maze beneath it were fairly vivid in his mind, mostly due to the haul in loot he managed to get from his little escapade with death and his insanity. It was that day that his mind had broken, shown the true cracks within. Faedessi, noticing her father's sudden stop and lack of attention, pulled hard on his hair in hopes of startling him.
Luckily it worked too. "Ow! Careful, Fae. Nina? Is that you?" he called out, finally shifting her to his right arm. Faedessi simply giggled and cooed softly, appeased for a short while of her simple demands.
