17th Ymiden, 723
Seira smiled to herself as she got dressed for the trial. Totrial was going to be a good trial, she just knew it. She and Seri were going to give a small private concert for Lia and her Shadow Walker friends since they lost the scavenger hunt that they were challenged to a couple of trials ago. A thrill of excitement ran through Seira as she thought about it. Singing in general, and giving concerts was always something that she enjoyed greatly. It was a very good thing indeed to love one's work, and Seira knew that she and Seri were very lucky because of it.
But this concert was different. It wasn't the type of concert that she and Seri gave when they were working. Instead, it was a small, private concert performed for people that she liked. People who liked her in return. Not just as a performer, though they were definitely fans of her. But Lia, Carla, and their friends seemed to like her as a person as well.
When Seira went downstairs, she found Seri in the kitchen making breakfast. She smiled at her twin then turned her attention to feeding their animals. Her task was made more difficult when Ryu wound herself around her legs while purring in eagerness for her breakfast. Seira grinned at their cat as she reached down and scooped her up into her arms.
"This would go a lot faster if you just let me work, you know." she said playfully as she cuddled with Ryu.
Ryu's purring got louder as she rubbed her face against Seira's. It was clear that Ryu wanted attention just as much as she wanted her food, and Seira was happy to indulge her. Taerin and Meiryu jumped up on her legs, clearing wanting some attention too. Seira grinned again as she reached down and ruffled their fur while Ryu batted at her wrist in an effort to regain her attention. Seira laughed happily at the antics of her pets. She cuddled with Ryu for a few bits more before setting her gently on the floor beside her. By the time that Seira finished feeding the animals, Seri had finished making breakfast, and was waiting at the table for her.
Seira and Seri ate quickly and cleaned up after themselves.
"Do you want to practice for our concert totrial? Seri asked.
"We have a few breaks before we have to be there." she added.
Seira nodded.
"I think that that's a good idea. I was also thinking that we could let Lia and her friends choose which songs they want us to sing for them since we're doing this because we lost the scavenger hunt."
It was Seri's turn to nod.
"I like that idea too, Seira."
Seira smiled.
"We should still be able to get a good practice session in before we perform the concert though. Even if we don't know which songs that we'll be performing, we know what kind of songs that the Shadow Walkers like, so we can practice those." Seira decided.
"That sounds good to me." Seri agreed.

The Shadow Walkers are a consequence from this thread. As far as I know, they haven't been written up, but I use them from time to time as flavor NPCs.
