"Oh I'm so sorry. " the small voice chimed as the figure bent down to retrieve the scattered papers.
I took this time to study her. The girl had a willowy figure and was of average height with cropped hair of a dubious copper colour that btougjt out her green eyes.
The girl glanced up with a smilr but froze once recognition hit her; probably recognized me from the numerous portaits. I broke her gaze when a trio of men came through the parlour door, deep on argument.
" Pleasr professor just one game, we'll go easy on ya." The shaggy blonde pleaded, making it the older man chuckle.
" Nice try Fin but I learned my lesson when-" the man stopped and met my gaze with suprise.
Suddenly all eyes were on me and they were none too friendly. The old man smiled and quickly embraced me.
" Welcome back Kira."
Slowly I took in the warmth that always acompanied the smell of old leather and dust. Flashing him a grin I started for the stairs.
" Wait, we have things we need to discuss!" He called out to my retreating back. I merely waved a hand in acknowledgment.
" Kira Winters!"
I turned , a brow raised in amusement.
" I'm sure whatever it is can wait until I take a shower old man."
He flushed.
" Cheeky brat." He mumbled.
With a husky laugh I vanished from thier sight.
