[IRP] Secrets of the Empire

[Breadophile]

After Kalin spoke, she was contemplating what her pegasi was doing flying around. Must've been a strange sight to the locals...

Just then, Kalin was distracted from her present conversation with the dark-skinned fellow.

"Kalin?" Paige said in surprise. "I would have thought you'd left on a job. It's nice to see you've stuck around Pherae."

"Paige...?"

She turned her head. Yep, it was Paige all right.

"Paige!"

Kalin gave her a bear hug, trying to avoid slamming Paige's head against the breastplate (for what it was worth) while hoisting her in the air. She gently lowered Paige and released a few seconds later.

"It's nice to see you too! I'm looking for a sibling of mine and I think he may have come this way. I'm pretty sure it was my crazy of a mother sent him on some mission, but I don't know. He sort of left without telling dad or me. Let me know if you've seen him. According to dad my hair color is exceedingly rare, and he shares it. He also looks like a really pretty girl, especially with... uh... his cloak. Nevermind, just know that he looks like a really pretty girl. His hair is also extremely long and he's slightly shorter than me. He loves reading, so the library seems like it would be the place to find him. He's also a huge asshole. Sorry I can't give a better description, but I'm pretty sure he's unique among the population with just those traits, especially the last one."

She paused.

"Ah, b-but don't tell him I was looking for him! I don't want him to know that I care or anything! Besides, if he found out he would probably skip town. What about you? What brings you to these parts? Oh, and meet my new adoptive little brother Sam. He looked like he was down on his luck."

"I was bribed with food." The boy said.
