What That, and This, and That?

[Skittlebug]

"Kura?" Thisle searches about the home that he's staying in with Kura and her family. Now that they've gotten here and settled in, Thistle really wants to explore, but not alone, what's the fun in that.

[Kender Bard]

"Over here!" Kura called out, sticking her head out of a room and waving. She headed over to him, reaching for his hand. "These rooms have doors with locks," she said in a hushed tone of awe. "How amazing is that!?"

[Skittlebug]

Thistle laughs and spins her a little, "It's great, isn't it. Do you want to see what else is in this place? We haven't had a chance to explore yet."

[Kender Bard]

"You mean more than the house, right?" Kura asked. "Because I definitely want to explore the Sanctuary a bit." She was already heading for the front door of the house. "Do you think the angels really meant it when they said we could ask for anything?"

[Skittlebug]

Thistle's eyes widen a little as he thinks of the possibilities, "If we run into one we'll have to find out!"

[Kender Bard]

Outside, Kura looked around, mostly squinting. As usual, it'd taken time to get used to the harshness of sunlight outside of Flux, but she had managed. She didn't like having direct sunlight on her face, though, and she burned easily. Fortunately, with all the trees, the Sanctuary was comfortable enough for her. She picked a direction and started walking, pausing every now and then to look at things. Not everything in the Sanctuary was exotic, but a lot of it seemed that way to Kura regardless. She picked a tulip and held it out to Thistle, grinning.

[Skittlebug]

Thistle is starting to adjust to the light, but not as much as Kura yet, when they aren't shaded by the trees he holds an arm over his eyes to avoid feeling blinded. He grins at the tulip, and smells at it, "It's so bright, ooh and it smells good."

[Kender Bard]

Kura sniffed at it as well and held on to it as she darted ahead, picking out a path through the shadows of the forest. "Look at this!" Kura exclaimed, pointing at a snake that was slithering rapidly through the grass. She touched her sign and muttered, planning on burning it.

And then a figure emerged from behind a tree and tackled her, causing her to cry out in surprise as she and he went tumbling together.

[Skittlebug]

"Hey!" Thistle shouts and throws himself onto Kura's attacker, intent on prying them off of her.

[Kender Bard]

A bit of squirming between the three of them saw the pair separated, though her attacker turned and swung at Thistle.

"Knock it off or I'm going to burn you out of your mind!" Kura snarled, already summoning her lost energy again.

The interloper backed off then, breathing hard and bleeding from a cut on his lip. He seemed to be Kura's age, but had the build of a wrathful. Kura blinked in surprise as she noticed his serpentine eyes and the hint of a forked tongue in his mouth. Snake beast?

"Leave the snake alone!" Seth shouted at them.

[Devon]

Never far behind his twin brother, Sawyer quickly burst onto the scene. He had heard Seth shouting and made his way over there faster. They were twins so of course they looked exactly alike, Sawyer always kept his hair in a different style though and he was known for sporting the color green.

"The only person allowed to put someone out of their mindsss is me," Sawyer said, hissing at the end for dramatic effect.

[Skittlebug]

Thistle swings back but the other boy is already backing off. He puts himself partially in front of Kura, ready to swing again. "You wanna fight!?"

[Kender Bard]

"Maybe I do!" Seth said, stepping forward, emboldened by Sawyer's presence. He glanced at his twin. "The bitch was going to hurt my new companion."

"First of all, I didn't know it was your companion!" Kura snapped, glaring. "Second of all, if you're going to call me a bitch, come over here and say it to my face!"

Seth took another step forward with a narrowing of his eyes.

[Skittlebug]

Oh that is it! No one talks to Kura like that! Thistle launches himself at Seth swinging angrily.

[Devon]

Sawyer intervened, tossing up a quick barrier just as he had learned from school. Shielding his twin, Sawyer then moved to Thistle's side and pushed him back. "Leave Seth alone," he said angrily.
