"Papa?" Asked a young girl, as she quietly peered into the dark cave her father would usually reside in. There were vines hanging at the entrance, obscuring her vision- she couldn't see inside, "Papa? It's been hours, are you alright?"

Of course he's okay Naomi! It's Papa, why wouldn't he be?

The little girl reassured herself, with a small determined nod. Her choppy silver hair bounced as she started running back to the spring she'd usually train in, "I need to get stronger, so that I can protect Papa!" She spouted loudly, a huge toothy grin on her face.

Naomi heaved, a thin layer of sweat over her skin as she threw her head back and greedily breathed. "That was at least two miles, c'mon," she panted out, swallowing thickly and dropping to her butt. She'd ran for the past ten minutes, throwing some jade shards at targets she had put up a couple years prior.

Rustle.

She swiveled around, quickly forcing herself to her feet, "Who's there?!" She called out, taking on a defensive position and glaring at the brush the sound had come from.

"Ah, please- we don't mean harm," said a soothing voice. Against her better judgment, she dropped her defense and fell back on the grass, as the bushes continued to rustle, before a figure popped out, "So sorry, we saw you running by our home and became interested."

There were two boys, one with pitch black hair and just as dark eyes, and a boy with salmon pink hair who she guessed was the older boy's younger brother. The older one, was carrying the little one on his back. The silverette huffed, "Don't just follow someone, who knows- I could'a been dangerous."

The boy smiled down at her, "And yet you didn't attack."

The youngest of the three slid down his brother's back and bounded over to Naomi, he was an adorable blubbering mess that confused the the girl. He straight up just plopped himself in her lap and began to twiddle with her accessories, he seemed to really like her earrings- as he kept tugging them to inspect them, "Shiny!" Was the only thing she could make out.

"Ack-" Naomi grunted, as her head was forced down at an odd angle, "Ow, ow, kid- stop!" Her hands grabbed his, and as gently as possible pulled his hands away from pulling at her earrings, "I-I'm glad you like 'em, I guess."
