[fieldbox=Cordelia Sinclair, #8ae261, solid]"Jules! We're almost there!" The white haired girl was almost jumping up and down in excitement as they led their horse down the gravel road. Her fire orange eyes were bright, sparkling with happiness. Although they had been walking for a while, her energy hadn't waned. The dancer was wearing a long, light green dress, that seemed to float around her body. Despite having been travelling for a while, there didn't appear to be a spec of dirt on it.
She twirled again, stopping to have a look at her brother. Walking backwards, she pouted at him. "Can we hurry up a bit? I can't wait to see her again…" Without waiting for a response, Cordelia spun around again and began to skip. The wind seemed to pick up, blowing her hair and dress around wildly but it didn't seem to bother her in the slightest. If anything, it appeared to give her more energy and her laughter rang out through the trees.
They had been on the road for a few days now, having just left another small town. They, Cordelia and Julian, were travelling performers, who lived off the money they earned through performances and whatever they could find on their travels. With Cordelia's easy going nature, they made many friends who were more than happy to help them with whatever they needed. She had at least one friend in each town they revisited, and was always happy to see them. And most weren't exactly… Human, so to speak. Which included the one they were currently headed towards.
Vivian was a kitsune, a friend they had met a while ago. Cordelia had been out wandering, and had been enchanted by her tails the moment she had seen them. She had wanted to touch them, but hadn't exactly known whether it would be okay or not, so she struck a deal that she would perform for them in order to touch her tails. It worked, and the tails had been the softest thing she had ever felt.
While it was one of the main things Cordelia was looking forward to, it wasn't all. She wanted to hear stories of the kitsune, and make new friends. And she couldn't wait to get there, so she could do all those things. "Hurry up!" Soon enough, the town came into sight, and she let out a whoop of joy. "Race you there!"[/fieldbox]
[fieldbox=Julian Sinclair, #36c3e2, solid]Julian watched as his sister danced ahead, a soft smile on his face. He was leading the horse, as they had been unable to afford a car and it was hard enough to get petrol out in these small towns anyway. Most towns they went to had places for horses luckily, though he wondered if it would have been cheaper to get a car in the long run. Perhaps he would talk with Cordelia once they arrived, but he knew she was attached to Smokey, their grey horse. It would likely be a difficult conversation.
Sighing, he ran a hand through his own white hair. He was wearing travel clothes, preferring not to get his performance ones dirty, along with boots. While his feet were sore, he knew how much Cordelia wanted to get to the next town and so didn't complain. "Okay okay, we can hurry up a bit," he chuckled, nudging Smokey on a bit faster. The horse was carrying practically all their gear, which was most of Julian's instruments and Cordelia's fans. They could afford a break when they got into town.
As they continued on the road, the musician's mind began to wander. What pieces would he play for this town? They had already been here before, and so it had to be something new unless they specifically asked for a song. What instruments would he use? He needed to start composing more as well. The violin was his best instrument, and the one he had most songs for, but he needed to branch out.
Soon enough, the town came into sight, and he only laughed at the suggestion that they race. Cordelia took off like the wind, while he made sure that Smokey didn't injure himself on any sharp things that could possibly have been stuck into the ground. It would give his twin plenty of time in the spotlight, without him being there, which was just how he liked it. They would arrive soon enough.[/fieldbox]
