Reminising

[Mira Nightingale]

In times of peace, like it had been during her whole life, the city walls were a place Mira came to think, to reminisce, and to hide away from the life she held. Sometimes she hated her life, with all the things her parents expected of her, all the suitors who drooled over her behind her back, and acted ridiculous to her face. Her parents wouldn’t even let her take fencing or basic magic lessons. She truly led a sheltered life, cut off from the world.

And here she was, walking slowly across the tops of the city walls under the dark sky and bright moon and stars. Her sky blue light dress whipped around her ankles in the mild breeze, which wasn’t very cold for the time of year. She had sandals of a darker blue on her feet, and her hair was pulled back into a high bun with wisps escaping from its sides.

After a moment she stopped walking and turned to face the inside of the walls, seeing a few candles twinkling in windows or on the streets. She also heard the quick clop of a horse in a trot, and the memories of her accident flooded into her mind. She shivered from the memory rather than the cold, and continued walking.

like was trudging through the streets, scaring rats to amuse himself saw a figure of a woman on the city walls, she seemed to be trembling even know it was not cold but then she proceeded in moving along the wall and behind a house, luke ran after her and shouted as he ran "what are you doing up there?, you will hurt youreself it you fall!"

[Mira Nightingale]

Still walking in comfortable silence, Mira spotted the lit windows of her own home that she shared with her parents, and quite a few servants. Her brother used to live with them as well, and although many of his belongings still remained in his former bedroom, she hadn’t seen him since he had left two years ago.

Suddenly startled out of her thoughts by a loud voice, she turned as she watched a young man sprinting toward her, she raised an eyebrow out of mild curiosity at what he was shouting about, but then she heard his words. What are you doing up there? You will hurt yourself if you fall! Her eyes narrowed ever-so-slightly, and she turned to face him.

“Why do you think I’d fall?” she asked him, crossing her arms stubbornly. “I’ve been up here plenty of times.”

"well, how was i supposed to know how many times youve been up there, no matter how long ive been here, theres always someone who does fall and kill themselves, and al- hey, i forgot to ask, who are you?" luke shouted as he stared up at the girl on the wall

Mira let a bemused smile cross her face as she listened to the stranger explain his motives. “Mira.” she replied, calling down to him, as she carefully sat down on the side. “Mira Nightingale. And who are you, stranger?” she called back, a rather bemused expression still on her face.

“People actually fall and kill themselves?” she repeated, a slightly worried, slightly apprehensive look on her face. “In that case, I’ll be extra careful.” She would be extra careful. If she had ever heard about people falling to their deaths, no matter how hard that seemed to be to accomplish, she would have come up here less often.

((All right. They seem fine, though, even though they’re just a little short. I’m a long-post freak, lol. ^_^))
