The old stomping grounds
Who: Ebele and open to Staves
What: Ebele visits her old home
Where: Staves kingdom
When: Tuesday afternoon

It had been a long time since she had been back there, it felt like ages. She had taken a horse out early and rose into the Staves kingdom on her own only carrying a small dagger in case she ran into any problems. She didn't run into any trouble as she entered the kingdom, keeping her head low. It was nice to be on familiar grounds, traveling through streets she used to race through as a child.

It was strange, almost as if she were walking through a dream she had once a very long time ago. She even had to reach out and touch one of the stone walls to make sure it was real. Running her fingers along the stone she smiled. She knew the risk in going home but it was nice to just sneak in for the afternoon. As long as she didn't get caught by anyone important. She meandered the streets a bit more, re-aquatinting herself with the shops and the stands, the locals. She didn't quite blend in but it was nice to pretend for once.

Leighton tended to not spend much time with the royal family because of their melodramatic antics and psychotic breakdowns that he couldn't bother to keep up with. He preferred having the attention on him but the days of their gawking looks on his feminine appearance were shorter lived than he had anticipated. Nowadays he spent his time wandering about the city streets. He hadn't lived there long enough to know his way around properly but it didn't matter - he was only interested in people watching and him being watched by other people.

Rounding a corner his eyes couldn't help but fall on his cousin, Ebele. The two had grown up together like sisters and, if she didn't already stick out like a sore thumb, he could pick her out in a crowd anywhere. He hurried down the street up to her. He wanted to sneak up close enough to her to make some sarcastic remark rather than greeting her with a simple 'hello' but he couldn't manage to get to her through the crowd of people flooding the market. Leighton thought nothing of it and just began screaming out her name, "Ebele! Ebele, darling! It's me Leigh! Ebele!!? Get out of my way tubby," he said swatting at a random commoner.

Hearing her name she panicked a bit. Her heart jumped and she started moving through the crowd a bit faster, hoping her pursuer would come to the conclusion that they were mistaken. But she stopped. Leigh! Turning to face her cousin she let herself smile for once and even giggled when he told a rather rotund towns-person to get out of his way. They had practically grown up as siblings and she had to admit if there was anyone in her family she had missed it was Leighton. He was like her in a sense, he marched to the beat of his own drummer, if anyone would understand getting away from it all, it was him.

She pushed through the last few villagers and flung herself into Leighton's arms, hugging him something fierce. "My stars! It's been far too long Leigh!" Remembering where she was and what she had done, she lowered her voice and her face became more grave. "I must try to keep a low profile on my visit though," she said in hushed tones.
