Sai was away on some princely buisness. Because the twins were so small yet, Fin had deemed them unfit for travel and stayed back with the children. They all, including Fin, had started to chafe of late at being indoors or only being around the palace. So Fin took them for a walk, since the little drama queen, Yui had declared the courtyard had lost her interest, Fin decided to take them down to the market.

The twins in each arm and Yuitama and Miaka, holding hands, Miaka holding onto Fin's skirts with her free hand. Miaka suddenly pulled at Fin's dress a few times, to get Fin's attention. "Mommy, Yui go bye- bye." Fin screeched 'What?' and looked about her franticly. ''Miaka, where did she go?!" She asked, panic in her voice as Miaka pointed to the the smallish figure of Yui, running as if towards something. "Yuitama! Stop!" Fin tried to shout for her but due to the market's noise, the child did not hear.

The twins began to cry as Fin hurried to find Yui, her eyes welling up with tears of fear. She looked behind her to make sure Miaka was keeping up with her. She was, barely. Fin slowed down to a fast walk so that she wouldn't loose two daughters.

Priscilla Grey enjoying the warm, spring afternoon with an enjoyable dance routine. The muscians to the side played a tune dedicated to the sun for warming the skies and melting away the winter snows. It was a dance to remind commoners that although Spring may bring raid attacks, it is a time of rebirth and life. However, it also meant more citizens were out, enjoying the high sun before it would get chilly again at night.

Thus, Cilla and her few musician friends were getting what money they could. Dressed in a normally spring outfit, the auburn haired lass wore a haltered, linen top of a spring green. embroided with black thread. The bottom consisted of many skirts, a short, uneven black one over a light green one; a longer white skirt beneath it all. She wore a belt of gold bells for affect. Dark red hair was braided, white, clothe roses placed along the braids.

With a cheery grin, Cilla danced and twirled, maybe subtly pushing their coin basket closer to the crowd. As the song ended, Cilla took a pose with another performer, the crowd applauding the dancers and musicians, all whom bowed modestly. The redhead clasped her hands behind her back, freckled face smiling and thanking those who dropped some loose coins into the basket.

It was then, amongst the people coming forward was a little Yamani girl, all by herself, whom Priscilla noticed, The dancer knew that a little one as richly dressed must be a daughter of some high-ranking person - maybe there would be a reward of sorts for finding her. The girl could easily cast aside her dislike of nobles if it meant money for treating herself to something nice.

Kneeling down in front of the girl with a wide smile, the dancer greeted the girl, "Hello there, little one. Did you enjoy the performance?"

Yui had stopped when she reached her destination, the performance. Yui watched ,a little awed. When one of the dancers spoke to her, she smirked. "Yea, it was alright.Why do you wear bells? Aren't they annoying?" She asked, being her usual Yui-self.

Fin finally caught sight of Yui and ran to her, Miaka doing her best to keep up. The twins were not happy at all the bouncing. So as soon as they reached Yui, Fin sighed and took a deep breathe, for she had lost in with the first bit of exercise she had gotten since the twins. Miaka, also was a little out of breathe for that was a lot of running for her little legs. As soon as the bouncing stopped, so did the crying. "Yui! Don't ever run away like that again! You scared me half to death." Findabhair said sternly. "I'm sorry mother. I wanted to see the bell lady." She said and pointed to the woman. Fin finally realized the girl and smiled at her. "Hello, thank you so much for watching over my daughter."

Aw, she's already gaining the sarcasticness of the nobles! How precious, Priscilla thought through a fake smile, adding in her own mind, Its not wonder I can't stand them. The twenty-year-old clasped her hands, still standing barefoot on the cobblestoned as she patiently replied, "To add to the music, m'dear. The dancing would be quite bland without them. No, they do not get annoying." For all the Cilla disliked nobles, there was no use getting angry at them until they got angry at you - it was a free for all after that for the redhead.

When the younger woman appeared, the dancer stood up, slightly scratching at her nose. Hands clasped infront of her as she bobbed her head at Findabhair, "Never a problem, milady." The girl commented, examining the oddness of the group infront of her. It was no doubt the woman in front of her was younger, and of Tortall blood - the blonde hair gave it away. Yet, it was also obvious the two, Miaka and Yui, were Yamani, and toddlers, compared to the infants in the others arms.

Yet, the other woman seemed far to young to be the Yaman girls true mother, even too young to be a mother herself. It was true, Cilla was supposed to be married and with kids not to long ago, but it still unnerved her slightly at what strange family relationships going on in noble family infront of her.

"Well they'd annoy me either way." Said Yui, one hand on her hip. Fin rolled her eyes, and thought for the thousandth time since the babes were born that Yui was lucky she had her hands full. "Excuse my daughter. She has yet to learn tact." Fin said before Yui looked up at her, confused. "Yes-huh. Father taught me lots about war tact." She answered, causing Fin to giggle, unable to control herself. "No dear, that is war tactics, and remind me to discuss teaching that to a little girl with your father. No, tact is ..the right way to speak to others." Fin said, trying to explain in a way Yui would understand. Pulling her attention back on the woman, Fin smiled. "Well, may I ask your name miss?"
