The week prior to one of her sister's balls, and even little get-together's, was always hectic. It seemed to her that everyone was on edge and clearly out of there minds, and it was all she could do to get a little alone time away from the madness before she got roped into helping with one thing after another. Most evenings she was able to slip away, at least, if nothing more. It was such a breath of fresh air to get out of her home; it became so stuffy with all the preparations going on and it stirred up dust more than anything she'd ever known.

Under her dark cloak and hood were the simple, but finely-made clothes of her station as the High Lady's sister. Her dark, wavy hair was pulled back into a half-pony to keep out of her face as she looked out at the streets, though she was not aware of her small earrings catching the sun every few steps. She really had no reason to be out besides her own curiosity, so she tried to look as unassuming as possible as she casually strolled along in the beginning of the sunset's light.

She was happy to be relaxed for once. Everyone around her at home were particularly snappy today with their stress. It was a relief to be able to go about her business silently watching passersby as she wandered the streets. She was smiling privately at the giddy thought that she was practically invisible. There was no one to recognize her, for she would never wear such a covering at home, and if she were out with her sister she never wore the hood up. Naively, she thought that would be enough to conceal herself to her satisfaction of "invisible."

Truly, though, most people simply seemed too busy going about their own lives to care. There was shopping to be done and people to chat with, and she was there to witness all that she could before it became boring, dark, and cold. The only ones who seemed to have an inkling of her presence were the children that darted through the streets and between legs of adults if they came close to colliding with her. Simply amused, Kailinna moved herself to the edges and shadows where she hoped to have an easier time of blending in.

With the setting of the sun drawing ever closer a pair of fair-haired young men hurried about their business. One of them in particular was practically bouncing with every step he took akin to a horse at the starting gate primed and prepped to burst out at the given signal. The other was more reserved in his excitement but his wayward glances to the open window did not go unnoticed.

When at last the final customer had been served and every surface had been more or less properly cleared, the twin men firmly locked the doors and barred the windows of their father's shop before venturing out in the night while hastily donning their nightly uniforms.

While one struggled with properly knotting a belt the other hopped ahead as he attempted to jam a foot into a polished boot as together they headed for their post. The Cabello brothers prided themselves in being members of the brotherhood of the Northwatch Nightwatch of which the ranks consisted thus far only two members. It was for this reason that they took such immense pride in their duties as the "sole" night guardians of their beloved city in the heart of Northwatch.

Tonight was an especially important night given that they had gotten word of a festive occasion that was to be taking place in the High Lady's home. They had every intention of ensuring the security of the mansion's borders particularly from the inside if they could manage such an appearance.

However, as Oliver put it they did not wish to bring too much attention to themselves and detract from the presence of the guest of honor. It would be bad form to steal the limelight even if they were quite a pair of catches.

For now though they simply began to do their rounds about the borders of the city, sticking to the shadows in order to avoid the noble guards that also were patrolling although not as enthusiastically in Donovan's opinion. Bit by bit they would work their way in tighter circles until they reached the mansion itself. It paid to be thorough though. It was as they came around such a shadowed corner that they caught sight of a suspicious-looking person.

"Ho!" cried one of them stepping forward to catch the stranger's attention.

"State your purpose and business here, shadow-skulker," the other queried, moving to try and block off a retreat, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword.

Shadow-skulker? She was certainly no shadow-skulker! Even if it was getting to be quite dark. And she happened to be in the shadows. That wasn't her fault and it wasn't her concern. She was moving to continue on, thinking there was no reason for them to want to stop her, but then one of them was in her way, so she stopped for the odd stranger that seemed to want to block her progress.

Looking up at the two men, quite puzzled, the young woman gave them a perplexed look, as though they should know they were talking to the wrong person. When she glanced over her shoulder, though, it was obvious that there was no one else close enough for them to mistakenly stop her for. Recognizing that they were wearing a uniform but not that it was not consistent with the ones worn by the guards at her home, Kailinna conceded and made no move to try and step around them. "I'm just taking a walk," she told them honestly as she adjusted her cloak. "Getting some fresh air. Is there a problem?" she asked.

She was certain there shouldn't be anything of the sort, but it was strange to be stopped walking around in her own home town. Looking between them, she tried to decide if they were brothers who looked similar or twins. Though, the longer she stood there the more she thought she might be in some sort of trouble no one had told her about.

GoblinFae

"That has yet to be determined," the one blocking her path replied. "From where do you hail? Speak quickly," he ordered further, his chin raising with the authority he did not have. Meanwhile the other crossed his arms over his chest and eyed the stranger in silence, letting his brother do all the talking as was their custom.

Donovan was meant to be the intimidating one and Oliver the bright one anyway. "We will have no mischief out of anyone tonight. It is quite an important night tonight after all. You would do well to hurry on your way."

As if realizing his mistake, Oliver hastened to add, "but not before you answer us."

Eyeing the sword she could see at Donovan's hip, she took a step back as she gave them a skeptical look. Never had she had any of the guards question her so. As if it should be obvious, Kailinna held her hands out away from her sides with palms up as to gesture at the very ground they stood upon. "Here. Northwatch is my home, sirs," she told them confidently, thinking now, perhaps, that they were new and just didn't know to recognize her.

Hoping she wouldn't get snapped at for being outside of her home at the center of town, Kai slowly lowered her hood enough to show her face but still shield the majority of her mane of hair from the chilled air. She gave the pair a small smile, looking into the eyes of each as if to say that they should have known better but that they were forgiven. "I assure you there is no mischief here. Not from me. I have no interest in upsetting anything that's going on today. I will dutifully attend and show my support, don't worry. Now if you'll excuse me."

Raising her hood again, Kai moved to step around them and continue down the road as she fully expected she was free to go now that she'd answered their question.

GoblinFae

Two pairs of eyebrows rose in nearly perfect unison as they observed the pretty face that had been hiding beneath the shadows of the thick hood. Neither of the men had been expecting that and were momentarily flabbergasted into silence.

They nearly allowed her to walk away in their shock if it had not been for Donovan who took a step forward and knocked Oliver in the shoulder to catch his attention. A very brief nonverbal conversation occurred before they rushed to follow.

Casually each brother sidled up on either side of the woman, a brilliant smile on either of their faces. "Please, my lady," Oliver pleaded humbly. "Allow my brother-in-arms and I to escort you to where you're going. It would certainly not do to have such a lovely woman as yourself out here all alone."

"It would be our honor," the quieter one of the pair added, blushing slightly and bowing his head to try and hide it.

Glancing to each side once she noticed she'd gained some company, Kai slowed her pace as she listened to them. It was surprising that they were offering, but she supposed it was only polite of them, as guards. With a slight shake of her head she looked to each of them as she said, "I'm flattered by the thought of such an offer, but I'm sure I'll be fine. Besides, I have no destination. I really am just going for a walk, as I said, and then returning home. I have no business, no one I'm visiting.

"I wouldn't want to keep you from your post or patrol anyway," she insisted, still thinking them guards employed by her sister. "I am happy for your concern, though, thank you so much," she told them sincerely with a kind, but naive smile as she bowed her head to each. Picking up her pace, she held the skirt of her dress gently to keep it from the muddied road as she crossed to the other side of it where there was firmer ground.

GoblinFae

"You are not keeping us," Oliver hastened to answer as his brother likewise shook his head quietly. "Perhaps if you have no destination you would not mind the company as we travel. We could even escort you home once you tire of the walk. It would be no trouble to us, would it Donovan?"

The other man shook his head once more and smiled softly. "No trouble at all fair lady. If you can spare the company we would be much obliged. It gets quite old when it is but the two of us to share words with. Another would always be welcome."

Breathing a defeated sigh, Kailinna acknowledged them with a smile once she realized they were still with her. It seemed revealing herself was a mistake and had blown her chances of having privacy while out. Still, she didn't really mind their proposal as she was sure it could hardly compare to the busy buzz of home at the moment.

"Very well, then," she finally agreed as she held out a palm to gesture at the elder twin. "Donovan, was it? And...what is your name?" she asked the other, holding out her other palm to gesture to him as well.

"You can just call me Kai," she told them as she headed for a quieter side street that would take them closer to the edges of town. "Will you be on duty for the rest of the night or are you attending the ball later?" she wondered.

GoblinFae

Oliver's eyes widened in surprise before he paused to drop in a clumsy bow. "Forgive me Miss Kai! Oliver Cabello, Nightguard of Nightwatch at your service." He straightened then and offered her his arm, nonplussed by his twin's silent affirmation as to his name and slight amount of withdrawing. It was not uncommon for Donovan as the shier of the two of them to shadow his more exuberant brother.

"Well you see ma'am we would love to attend the ball but sadly there would be too many broken hearts following behind us and that would really cause too much attention when we are obviously not the main focus. I'm sure you understand," Oliver, continued with a wink and winning smile. "We will continue our work here less given a reason to make an appearance. Will you be working there though? I'm sure a pretty woman like you would be indispensable to our High Lady and her entourage."

Kai couldn't help but giggle slightly for Oliver's colorful personality. It was certainly refreshing. She hesitated for a moment but did oblige him and take up his offered arm as they continued walking. Awarding his explanation with an amused hum, the young woman reached up with her free hand to lower her hood for good. It simply would not do to be rude and cover her face while conversing with others.

"It's good to know some are so dedicated to their work," she admired as she scooped her hair from the hood to let it fan out across her shoulders and breathe a bit. "I will be working there, actually. The High Lady requires my assistance for all social events," Kai explained as she offered her free arm to Donovan with an expectant, encouraging smile before looking to Oliver once more. "Though I assure you that that has nothing to do with my appearance." If nothing else, it was amusing and a nice, welcome change to be in the presence of people who did not recognize her for her status and name.

"Are you two new to the guard, then?" she wondered. "I certainly haven't seen you before. And...I'm quite sure I would remember if I had."

GoblinFae

"Ah so the lady is intelligent as well! I expected as much," Oliver cheerfully stated. "The perfect woman through and through, why the High Lady herself must be jealous of you. Say you are without a suitor and my heart shall burst at the pure perfection before me," claimed enthusiastically, clasping a hand to his heart as if too swoon. Donovan chuckled at his twin's antics but said nothing.

Their merriment came to an abrupt stop as wide-eyed they glanced at each other over the top of the woman's head. They knew they needed to tread carefully in their answering lest they get caught with their pants down and a group of soldiers at their backs.

"I would say we have been doing our job quite well then my lady if you have not seen us," Oliver quickly amended. "Our order is on the newer side and we only patrol at night. I am sure it is not odd then for you to be abed while we march to protect your dreams. There, there though," he offered, playfully patting his hand against her arm linked with his, "you can find us again come the light of day if you so desire. We promise not to disappear come the first rays of daylight."

His praises left her with slightly flushed cheeks as she averted her eyes to stare at the ground instead, though she acknowledged his silliness with a soft chuckle. "The High Lady has nothing to be jealous of. I think she is quite the image of perfection herself," she told them truthfully. Oblivious to their looks over her head, though, she was actually quite impressed with Oliver's admission.

"Only at night?" she exclaimed, snapping her head up as she lowered her free arm in silent defeat. "My, that takes dedication. Being of the nightguard exclusively is not for the faint of heart, I know. I've heard it is very taxing. I do hope you stay with it," she tried to encourage. "I've seen many promising young men moved to other areas for not being able to handle night duty.

"But many have families and wives so I can hardly blame them. If you ever tire of it you should let me know so I can speak with the commander about giving you a more favorable post," she offered innocently. "Unless, of course, the nightguard is where you wish to remain. There certainly is the good and bad of all work.

"Is it at least agreeable with you so far?" she wondered.

GoblinFae

The twins simultaneously puffed up with pride, their heads held high as they continued to walk along beside Kailinna. Donovan winced slightly to hear her talk of addressing any issues with the captain of the guard and attempted to send his brother a warning look but it went completely unnoticed as Oliver took it all in stride.

"We actually volunteered for this post. You see it allows us to help my parents around the house and their shop. You know be the good son and nurture and care for your elders, that kind of thing. We wouldn't give this up for the world," Oliver sighed.

Donovan took his chance with Oliver's breather to add his own words to the conversation. "Thank you for the offer though we daren't complain to a lady as fine as yourself Miss. Would be bad form indeed for us to result to such base and cowardly approaches. Thank you all the same though," he said with a smile.

"How honorable," she admired with a thoughtful look about her. "And mature of you, too, to put your family before yourself. What is it that they do, exactly?" she wondered out of curiosity before she turned to look at Donovan, who had finally spoken again.

"Well, I do appreciate your kind words," she thanked him before continuing nervously. "But I assure you a complaint to me should be no different than a complaint to a friend." It was a fear of hers to be judged as someone who thought herself better than others simply for the luck of her birth when she saw herself as such a helper. She was always on guard for opportunities to show her compassion to others and be of help wherever she found herself useful, and she sincerely hoped that guards did not think her any different than any other person. "Besides, he and I are on very good terms with one another. He would never be troubled by me. But I'm happy that the work suits you and your needs," she chirped.

"Do you plan to stay in Northwatch long, then? If you're helping your," she paused and looked to Oliver and then, hesitantly, to Donovan as she decided there was no way they were not twins for she could hardly find a difference between them physically, "parents? Should I expect to see you two around more often?" she wondered with a slight blush, hoping to not give them the wrong impression about her curiosity.

GoblinFae

Choosing his words carefully, Donovan tried to work his way around her mention of the captain of the guard again for fear of being found out later. "Well then should there be any problem I will think of you then little lady. For now though Oliver and I are quite well with naught a complaint."

Oliver nodded, his fingers toying with the hilt of his sword while deep in thought. "For now we have plans to stay. I mean we work in my parents shop, it's just a general store really but it pays the bills. One day perhaps we will travel the world. But, for now here is home and here we shall stay. So never you fear we are but a shadow away should you need us," he informed her with a wink.

"Is there anywhere in particular you're wanting to go? Traveling for pleasure instead of work would be such a wonderful thing," she admitted. "I wish you luck with your goals. It's good to see soldiers with direction and discipline. You are a rare lot," she admired as she turned her attention to the rising, full moon in the sky that cast such a bright light upon the city.

"But it seems you are the true shadow-skulkers. I've found you out," she teased, pulling ahead slightly to turn back onto the main road that would lead them straight to the fort-manor at the center of town that she called home. "Though I don't think I could say I would be disappointed if I ever ran into you again," she complimented with a blush and giggle as they drew closer and closer to the gates. "Shadows or otherwise."

Both men shrugged in response. "Guess we never really thought about it much," Donovan murmured thoughtfully. "We just want to see it all I suppose." A wistful expression clouded his face as he imagined the lands they could see when at last they decided to leave home.

Oliver on the other hand mock-swooned again, clutching his chest. "My lady you wound me! Me, a shadow-skulker? Why I have no words for the travesty such words have done to my poor fluttering heart." He groaned and winced as if truly injured.

"There is no cure, tis hopeless," he breathless whispered as if he were fading.

"Seeing it all would be nice," she agreed, an understanding smile there as she looked to Donovan. It was short-lived, though, as Oliver's words caused the beginnings of panic to stir. She hated feeling as though she'd wronged someone, and he was someone she had just met, at that! What an impression to make, she mentally scolded.

"Forgive me!" she pleaded, eyes wide with innocent worry over Oliver's display. "Really, I meant no ill by it. I was only...teasing," she explained, feeling quite guilty. "You'll be alright, won't you?" Her eyes shifted nervously between Oliver and the other guards milling about the gates that were clearly watching her closely.

"Do you need to see a nurse? A doctor?" she offered, taking him seriously as she clutched his arm more firmly.

Oliver straightened quickly, waving his hands and chuckling. "No, no my dear. I was jesting. All is well." Donovan rolled his eyes and muttered something under his breath while disguising it as a cough.

"Although perhaps to make for it you might do me a rather small favor," the boisterous twin continued unaffected while patting her arm linked with his own. Carefully and gently he extracted himself from her in order to move to stand half in front of her. "I promise nothing extravagant or strange, guard's honor," he pledged with on hand over his heart and the other raised, palm outward.
