"You're here!"

You quite suddenly felt something tackle you into your side, to nearly knock you over. Looking to your right, you see Gabi's brown haired head snuggled deeply in your black cardigan.

You immediately rested your shoulders and became unalarmed. "Gabi, good morning." You smiled welcomely. She peered up through black knit and gave you a wide toothy grin.

She seems to be a girl who warms up to people quickly, not that you didn't mind.

"Morning? It's the afternoon Y/n."

You looked up from Gabi and darted off into the sound of the voice. Falco stood, easily on the tall dark ladder, almost touching the ceiling with the top of his blond head. It looked like the boy was putting away some little jars of spices, maybe different herbal teas, in one of the high cupboards.

Levi, planted at the bottom, with a usual scowl, not bothering to give you a glance. He was too busy worrying about Falco or those poor glass jars he had in hand.
"I swear, if you do not watch what you're doing," Levi growled, catching Falco's undivided attention.

Gabi let go of her iron grip around your waist and swung around to the front of the counter.

"I'd say it's the morning for me, Falco." You said standing next to Gabi, looking up at the towering boy. Levi had finally taken a quick glance at your straight figure.

You hadn't seen Levi sense yesterday evening, and his keen idea of cleaning. You didn't have fun per se but you were alright to help him out yesterday. A favor.

You're not eager to become close friends with Levi, but something deep down inside you told you, you were wrong.  He was an interesting man that left you in a trance quite often.

"I'll get your order, just after this brat is done taking his sweet time," Levi proclaimed.

Falco easily ignored Levi's comment and continued to put the last item on the shelf. Shutting the cupboard and  smiling to himself, he easily and steadily, started to walk down the ladder, one foot at a time.

"By all means, it's okay. I'm actually in no rush this morning." You stated. "I have the day off today and I was thinking about doing some adventuring."

Gabi looked at you with gleaming eyes and chimed, "Adventuring? You mean to tell me you haven't seen the whole city yet?"

You shook your head and calmly stated, "No, actually I haven't. I've been too busy unpacking and working a new job."

Falco jumped off the ladder on the last step and strolled his way, close to Gabi's side. Levi exhaled loudly, as he started water to boil in the kettle for you and your tea.

You stared at Levi's back as Gabi seemed to be pondering something next to you.

"Gabs," Falco started off with her nickname, "whatever you're thinking, it's not good. You've got the weird face you do when you are coming up with something not too good."

Levi let out a tsk in front of and as you looked down to Gabi's face. Her once questioned face was now turned into a frown as she gawked at Falco.

"Actually, Falco I do have something good. What if Y/n comes into town today and we can show her around." Gabi said suddenly, with excitement in her eyes. "Like a tour!"
