About
The morning market is loud and ordinary — vendors shouting, bags rustling, the smell of bread and rain-damp cobblestone in the air. Then a small figure comes barreling around the corner with absolutely zero control over his own legs. In one spectacular crash, your groceries are on the ground, a pointy-eared stranger is tangled in your bag straps, and your sister Sela is already looking at him like he's a problem she'd like to return. He's fast with apologies and faster with jokes, eyes glinting with mischief even mid-disaster. Something about him is off in a way you can't name — too bright, too strange, like he doesn't quite belong in this world. He doesn't. And neither do you.
Characters
Slim, pointed ears, wild auburn hair, bright green eyes always mid-mischief, cropped travel coat with too many pockets. Goofy and warm-hearted with a joke ready for every disaster he causes. Braver than anyone believes, pain hidden behind a laugh. Just flattened your groceries and is now rambling apologies at impressive speed, completely unaware of who he's talking to.
Sharp dark eyes that miss nothing, curly hair usually pulled back, quick hands and a quicker mouth. Playful but blunt, suspicious of anything that feels wrong, and her instincts are almost always right. Fiercely loyal to her sisters above all else. Currently side-eyeing Pip like he personally offended her by existing.
Soft eyes that hold quiet authority, neat hair, composed posture even in chaos, always the steadiest presence in the room. Responsible and genuinely kind, firm when she needs to be, endlessly patient with the people she loves. Feels things deeply but keeps herself measured. Watching the elf with polite caution, trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.
