A/N Holy crap guys thanks for 100+ reads! I didn't think that Rei would get this much attention so fast!

"Victor!" I wake up to Cecilia yelling at her older brother.

"What, Celia?" He asks, probably holding her newest carving out of her reach. Cecelia, or just Celia as we call her, inherited a small piece of Mom's earth and life manipulation and loves to make statues and figures out of scrap wood. I got dad's water control, and I'm close to using it to dump water on these lovely idiots, otherwise known as my siblings.

"Give it back!" The squabble continues as I get dressed and braid my hair. I have to visit the markets today, so I'll wear one of my nicer dresses.

"Hey Vic, can you do me a quick favor?" My siblings freeze as I walk into the room.

"Of course, Ori!" He says, moving to hide a partially molded piece of wood behind him. Victor is 5 years younger than me, and Celia is 3 years younger than him. Both of them grew up practically idolizing me.

"Well, 2 favors actually." Vic is well known for insisting on precise speaking, especially when you're asking him to do something. "First, give Celia her carving back." He curls his free hand into a fist at this, but I glare at him and he sheepishly hands it to her. "Second, could you make some tea for mom? I have to run into town to get more salt and a book for dad." 

"Yea, I can definitely make tea for mom!" I turn and walk out of the room.

"Thanks, Vic! Leave Celia's statues alone!" I call over my shoulder. I grab my wallet off the kitchen table and walk out the door.
