ACTUALLY! I thought of a way to introduce Sahar and Acyn in the next post so I’ll do a quick introduction and post sometime soon!

*Interview style*

Name?

“Sahar! Nice to meet you!”

Age?

“Umm, lemme see. I know most people keep track of their birthdays but I can’t keep track of myself most of the time! *Laughs* I think eighteen! Older than Liorah, definitely! We both know I’m more mature.”

(Lies. Many lies.)

Physical traits: “I’m not as tall as Liorah, but who is? About 5′ 6″, and kinda curvy/chubby. Dark skin, very curly black hair, brown eyes. I love jewelry! I usually wear earrings and bangles and bracelets and necklaces and whatever else! And I love bright colors and patterns! I’d wear all the colors at the same time if I could! I like skirts better than pants, it means you can hide more knives!”

Personality traits: “I like people! People are nice and interesting! I like taking a risk now and then, but not as much as Liorah. *Laughs again* I think everything will work out just fine sooner or later and people say I talk too much but you don’t think that, do you?”

Family: “I’m an Orme, we’re nomadic but we mostly stay in the tribe. I have both parents and two older sisters!”

Skills: “I love to sing, and I play the rebab and tambourine and I can’t help dancing when I hear music because what else are you supposed to do? Oh, and I throw knives! That’s fun! I can hit someone in the heart from fifty paces! Want to see?!”

How do you know Liorah?

“She’s my best friend! We’ve been friends since we were little! I still remember how we met but we vowed secrecy about that because everyone just started to forget about the camel and– *Claps hands in front of mouth* Nothing.”

 

Now Acyn! Still interview style because it’s more fun!

Name?

“Acyn. Do we have to do this? We both know you know this.”

(He’s definitely one of those characters who has a vague fourth wall awareness but never actually acknowledges it XD)

It’s for the record. 

“I had nothing to do with that. It was all Liorah and I’ll testify that in court if needed.”

What did you do!?

“Ask her. She knows.”

*Defeated sigh* 

Age?

“Three hundred and twenty. Next question.”

We both know that’s not true.

“Prove me wrong. Besides, why are you asking me if you already know?”

(He’s seventeen, but he’s also determined to make a pest of himself, so he’s not answering. In case anyone hadn’t noticed yet, I have no control over my characters.)

Physical traits: “About 5′ 8″, but Liorah insists I’m shorter. It’s ridiculous how proud she is of being taller. Nondescript. Brownish skin, brownish hair, brownish eyes. My closest friends have walked by me without recognizing me, which I consider a blessing.”

Personality traits: “I like sarcasm because murder charges are expensive. Humans are idiots as a general rule, and I have so far met exactly one exception. Death is inevitable and I hope it comes quickly.”

(To this day I have no idea how he and Sahar are friends. He’s actually a really kind and open-minded person who won’t judge anyone until he has plenty of data and has thought about it thoroughly. He just has a weird sense of humor. XD)

Family: “My parents are examining trees somewhere up north and I’m probably not going to see them anytime soon. I don’t have siblings, glory be. I have to put up with Liorah already.”

Skills: “*Sarcastically* I can copy manuscripts. A lot. I can lose at sword fighting. I can break down Liorah’s ego whenever needed. That’s my favorite.”

(He’s a scribe’s apprentice and he basically lives for books.)

How do you know Liorah?

“She and Sahar adopted me a few years ago and I can’t get rid of them. I’ve tried repeatedly. Trust me.”
