Knock, knock. Who’s there?

Scherìs was strolling from the kitchen with a half-eaten pastry when there was a knock at the door.  Changing direction, she heads toward the door and finishes the pastry.

She half turns away from the door as she yells, “I’ll get it!”  At the same time, she grasps the door knob and pulls the door open.  When she turns back to the door, all she sees is black.

Her brow furrows, “Why is it dark already?”  She looks upward until she sees his eyes.  Swallowing hard, she says quietly, “oh... hi...”

Before her is a very tall, dark Au ra, who she has never seen before.  He’s wearing garb she has seen before.  Something akin to what the Sekisegumi wear, except in black with silver accents.  A very long katana hangs at his side, causing her to believe that maybe it was the Sekisegumi... Did Qara kill someone she shouldn’t have?

The Au ra makes a brief, amused snorting sound at Scherìs’ surprise.  When he does speak, it’s a low, deep baritone voice that inquires, “Hello, little one.  Is my sister home?”

She blinks, then finds her voice.  “Sister?  Sister.  OH!  You must be Qarukhel!  Qara will be so surprised!”  Turning her back to the door, she yells as loudly as her little body will allow, “QARA!  IT’S FOR YOU!”

I Spy With My Little Eye...

Scherìs was at the top of the mansion’s stairwell leading to the basement.  She just barely had her head stuck out so she could see what Qarukhel and Qaraghoa were doing.  A moment later, a female Miqo’te head joined hers spying on the twins.  Scherìs side-eyes the new arrival and whispers, “Hi River.”

“Hey Sher... What’cha doin’?”, the Miqo’te asks.

“Seeing what Qara is like when she’s really happy.”

“Oh.  Is this about to get gross?  Is she going to kill the cute guy she’s talking to?”

Scherìs sighs and looks at River, “No silly, the guy is her twin brother, Qarukel.”

“Ohhhhh... So he is real.  Are you going to invite him to your room?”

“Uh... why?”, asks Scherìs.

“Because he’s a cute guy.  You know... so you can get to know him.”

Scherìs turns her head to River slowly and looks at her with a confused expression, “But... I’ve already met him...?”

“Noooooo... I mean get to KNOW him.”

Scherìs blinks, finally realizing what River meant.  She reaches up and grabs the hair on the back of one of her ears and yanks it.  “Ow!  Why did you do that?”, asks the Miqo’te, grabbing her now painful ear.

“Because you’re being goofy.”

“Why?  There’s nothing wrong with being with a guy.  Unless... wait... Are you wanting to live dangerously and bed Qara?”  That comment earned her an elbow to the ribs, with Scherìs replying, “She’s like my big sister...”

“So if she wasn’t, you’d bed her?”, asks the Miqo’te.  Scherìs, rolls her eyes and says, “Just like a cat, thinking about sex all the time.”  River pouts and says, “Am not... I can open doors... I have thumbs.”

“So... no guys and no girls... What?  Maybe farm animals?”

Scherìs blinks and says loudly, “WHAT!?”  She realizes a second later what she’s done and she turns back slowly to see if the twins heard her.

They did.  Qaraghoa is staring at both Scherìs and River with an eyebrow raised while Qar has a bemused expression on his face.

“Uh, yeah... um... Sher?  I... uh... suddenly remember a doctor’s appointment I need to be at.  Toodles!”  The Miqo’te stands up and runs out of the house, slamming the door as she leaves.

Meanwhile, Scherìs gulps and smiles, waving goodbye to both the twins before running upstairs and hiding under her Moogle bed.
