When the witch-ninja girl, Hanna, bumped into me and then profusely apologized, her daemon began to laugh about something he had told the girl.
'Not a very nice familiar,' I thought to myself.
Hanna pretended to stomp on his tail.
“Hey watch the tail.” Dusk dodged her foot and moved away. “I thought Midori was the mean twin.”
As Hanna stuck out her tongue, I listened more closely. Twin?
“Do you have a twin?” I asked her out of curiosity.
“Yeah Midori…she’s my sister…” she answered and a sad look clouded her face and she bowed her head.
A bit concerned, I asked, "Are you alright?"
She shook her head and looked back up at me, "Well, it's Midori. You see, I can't see her."
I looked at her weirdly and replied, "Uh, no, I'm sorry but I don't get that at all."
Dusk gave an exasperated sigh and explained, "She can't see her in the Scrying Glass."
I nodded and thought for a little.
"Well, your sister is a ninja? She probably has some ninja spells or whatnot working. These are dangerous times afterall," I tried to give her comfort.
She nodded a little and said, "You could be right. But what if-"
Placing a firm hand on her shoulder, I cut her off with, "No 'if's'! None! You got me! Saying things like that will only cause unnecessary worry and stress!"
She nodded again but I could tell that she was still worried.
I messed up her bright orange hair playfully and told her with a smile, "You're too young to get grey hairs, ginger. Tell you what. At the next town we stop at, how bout you and me share a room? I could tell you bout my own twin!"
"Sounds like a plan," Hanna replied with a small smile.
"Great," muttered a sarcastic Dusk who thought he was mostly inaudible, "We get to share a room with an Elf."
I reached down and grabbed him by the fur on his neck, growling "What was that, Daemon?!"
He was about to either respond with a snide remark or fight back, but I dropped him back down and reached to touch the cool metal of one of my leaf swords.
Casually, I scanned the trees on either sidde of us and whispered into Hanna's ear, "Hmmm...seems we have company."
