A Slack rp

Sabra Knight

Kyril sat in the middle of her bedroom and stared at the gemstones laying along the floor. Crimson stones carved with black ink, amethyst with golden engravings, rose crystals with barely a sliver of silver decorating them and any other varieties of runes gleamed before her. The sunlight from her open balcony doors was shining perfectly onto the center of the floor and the young woman found herself torn. Which set did she take with her now? Kyril reached out a hesitant hand which hovered over the golden runes before she finally wrapped one tightly within her fingers, "When in doubt go with the usual?" She tossed them into the air thoughtfully and smiled as they circled there before settling before her in a perfect line. A wave of her hand had the rest of the gemstones rolling across the floor and into their respective slots in a wooden trunk that rested on the dresser near her canopy bed. One needed a canopy in these parts so that the curtains could be closed at night to keep out insects, those little invaders who delighted in buzzing into a manor in the middle of a hot summer's night when many windows were left open for the summer breeze. Now that it was getting slightly chillier, as chilly as a Matori island could get, the insects were starting to rest a bit more and the windows were only slightly opened rather than completely flung outwards. It was such a light breeze that Kyril currently enjoyed as she stood with her skirts swishing around her ankles.

As she walked towards the balcony to stare outside Kyril had to pause. The house was awfully quiet, wasn't it? A perk of some of the family being on an outing for the day. That and she was certain that her youngest brother was sleeping still as he tended to do after a full meal. Hadn't Cahira gone out with a cousin today as well? Her mother was at a meeting with some representatives for the dancing school and she believed her father had gone with her as well....who did that leave at home? Blinking Kyril turned her gaze to study the inside of her room and to try and peer down the hallway connected to her open bedroom door. Should she go and check on everything? Perhaps in a few moments after I enjoy this sunlight a bit longer...

Aaaand there went that sunlight time. Sighing Kyril tucked a stray strand of hair behind a finned ear before turning away from her balcony and heading inside, "Shierra?" She called down the hallway before leaving the sanctuary of her room to skirt towards the entrance of the house, "Is that you?" The hybrid woman smiled as she spotted her younger sibling but as she got closer and noticed the all too familiar angry expression Kyril had to hide her grin, "Is something wrong? You seem...upset?" So upset that she had heard her from the second floor and also swore she felt the ground shake with each stomp that her younger sister had taken.

Sabra Knight

It was slightly amusing to watch her sister getting so riled up over the story but even Kyril's amusement faded at the sight of the tears, "What bast-" She quickly raised a hand to cover her lips before shaking her head, "We are not freaky at all, Shierra." Her skirts swishing the young woman squatted so that she could wipe a tear from her sister's cheek, "They're just afraid of us going in and showing them how much better we are." She flicked the tear with a finger and smiled as the droplet turned to ice and shimmered in the light before falling gently to the floor. The hybrid grinned faintly, "I mean did you want some shoddy weapon from them anyways? I'm sure papa could find you the most impressive weapon ever if you wanted one later." Kyril touched a hand to Shierra's shoulders, "And the next time some stupid boys and a grumpy old man try to do that to you you just laugh in their faces instead because they're so afraid of a girl with a weapon and probably can't even keep a lady of their own." She snorted, "What a joke saying that we're supposed to stay in the house always." Even if Kyril tried her best to be a proper lady and enjoyed wearing dainty outfits it didn't stop the fact that she had been raised in a household of independent women. And for some silly boys to make her sister cry so! Ugh, it made her blood boil! Maybe she would visit this shop later and show them exactly what could happen if they said that to a lady who was old enough to hold her own. Picking on her little sister that was just so wrong. The thought made Kyril frown in frustration before she let out a sigh, "Please though don't cry Shierra. It makes me want to go and burn down their shop for you." She confessed with a faint flush. She did truly hate seeing any of her family cry after all.

Sabra Knight

Kyril grinned, "Exactly!" She playfully smacked at her sister's shoulder, "Maybe they also were ashamed to let you see such awful mimics of real weapons!" The young woman chuckled lightly as she watched her little sister cheering up. Ah, nothing better than bashing some assholes to let her siblings perk up. She just hoped Cahira didn't go in there later as well else there would probably be a fit at that store. The idea did make her gaze gleam with mischief though as she could only imagine what her younger sisters were capable of. Perhaps all those calm years of Koril and herself had allowed more of a feisty spirit to be fostered for this next generation. Her parents were lucky to have her at least around to help out here and there.

"Of course." Kyril found herself laughing some more, "You would be able to burn it down with me but for the sake of mama and papa I recommend we avoid that route at the current moment." The hybrid reached out so that she could rustle her sister's hair before the next revelation had her hand pausing in mid-air, "You did what?" Blinking Kyril studied Shierra before slowly moving to pinch the bridge of her nose. "You know what...it's okay." She admitted finally with a faint smile, "We'll just keep that a secret between us though unless mama really has to find out." Kyril moved so that she could nudge her sister with her shoulder, "Anyways it's not fair to think that girls can't throw a punch here and there. You just gotta realize if they fight back then it's okay since you fought too." She chuckled, "Not fair to hit boys and say they can't hit cause we're girls after all. We just have to defeat them in battle instead to show them what we've really got."

"I guess he did have some sense then." Laughed Kyril quietly before her sister hugged her. Wrapping her arms tightly in turn around Shierra Kyril kissed the top of her head, "Hehe, I try." The hybrid reached out so that she could flick Shierra's nose playfully, "But just cause I'm awesome doesn't mean I can always hide every fight so you gotta be careful, mk?" She squeezed Shierra one more time before pushing up against the floor and rising to her feet, "So now that you've already had a fight for the day do you have any other plans? Seems like it's just us and I'm bored of sitting in my room sorting through my runes." She grinned towards Shierra, "Is there anything you'd like to do today?"

Sabra Knight

Kyril blinked in surprise at the suggestion, "Bake...a cake?" The older girl pursed her lips before finally nodding, "I don't see why not. We have a recipe surely and how hard can it be to follow that?" She grinned towards her sibling and held out a hand, "Let's go see what we have." As she laced her finger's with the younger girl's hand Kyril began to walk down the hallway to the kitchen at the rear of the house. It was made mostly of stone so that no fires would spread and had large windows fully open to help ventilate any smoke and heat. In the far side was a giant hearth ready to cook while a large table sat in the middle of the room surrounded by bowls and other cooking necessities, many fruits and veggies were also there while shelves built into the walls had other jars and various kitchen objects.

Now if she remembered correctly there was a book somewhere that her mother had scribbled recipes in....

Sabra Knight

"Fruity, huh?" Kyril replied before nudging her sister with a hip playfully, "You're fruity~" But she went to searching the shelves and picked at some of the bright yellow fruits laying there along with some green ones, "What about these? They're pretty ziesty and I know a golden batter can work well with them. Aunty showed me once when I wanted to learn how to cook." The hybrid began to work on clearing the table, "Do you mind running and getting some eggs? They should be in the springhouse since they needed to be chilled along with the milk and butter. Actually can you bring all three and I'll get the flour ready?" She smiled towards her sibling. Surely running to the small stone building by the house was fine. It had a small well inside that was flooded while their items were 'refrigerated' in the cooler waters that held floating metal boats that contained the jars of milk and butter along with the basket of eggs.

Sabra Knight

"Obviously." Teased Kyril in return. Everyone in their family had their quirks, but they all were loving anyways. She smiled before tossing the fruits into a bowl and could only shake her head lightly as her sister darted through a window, "What's a door?" Kyril rolled her eyes in amusement before she picked up a knife and began to prepare the fruits. The flour was in a cloth covered jar to her right so at least it was prepared. She was glad she didn't have to grind any of that today since that seemingly took forever. She simply had to just shake the yellowish white material through a metal net into another bowl to make certain there wasn't any lumps caught into it. A white cloud erupted around the table as she glanced towards Shierra who had just returned, "Oh I'm sorry." The young woman blinked sheepishly, "I forgot how much that all was." She chuckled, "But yes you'll be bigger before you know it and then you'll miss being so tiny." So much more freedom to play as a child. Kyril thought lightly as she reached for the butter, "When you come back for the eggs I can show you how to break them and we can start mixing all of this up."
