~~~~~~Story Time~~~~~~
Aislin's PoV
I follow Alyx down from the third floor of our house, where our rooms are, to the first floor sitting room where my dad is sitting with his wife Helen.
See, my family is weird. My father is Jeod Longshanks, a merchant in the port city of Teirm. He has been married for close to 17 years to Helen, the daughter of a more successful merchant in Teirm; Helen is not my mother. About 6 months before my dad married Helen he had an affair with a woman named Jazalene, she's my mother. My mother was half-Elf and half-Human; we think that's how two eggs were in her uterus at the same time, because you see Jazalene hadn't only slept with my father Jeod but had an illicit affair with an Elven man named Evander. From these affairs my mother ended up carrying two children at the same time from different men, my brother Alyxandre Evandersson and I (Aislin Jazalenesdaughter). When Alyx and I were a year old our mom left us on my dad's doorstep with a letter begging him to care for us both because she was going to pass soon. Since then we've lived with my dad and Helen (who just can't seem to stand us most of the time) and became the Longshanks Twins (due to our uncanningly mischievous and twin like behavior).
Alyx is so obviously more Elf than Human it's almost funny. He's 6'6 with dazzling hair like sun hitting water and teal eyes, his skin is pale and smooth and he has pointed ears with almond shaped eyes; the only Human quality Alyx really has is his purely emotional attitude, where as the Elves naturally show very little emotion Alyx is a very open and outgoing person most of the time. He wears his hair in a faux-hawk with the tips colored a sparkling forest green and he loves wearing leather and denim.
I on the other hand really am like a mix. I have a tan, round eyes, and brown hair yet have natural streaks the same color as Alyx's hair, slightly pointed ears, and am taller than the average human girl at 6'1; then there's my eyes, they are hazel but more green than brown and have yellow star bursting in from the outer edge.
Once we made it into the sitting room I saw Helen and my father sitting on the couch; Alyx sat in our wing backed chair with his left leg draped over one arm of it and his right elbow propping him up on the other, I sat cross legged on the floor just to the right of his right leg. This didn't seem like it would be good news.
"Children, I understand you wanted to leave early to go to Nasuada's before the concert…" My father trailed off slightly allowing us time to process this. I knew it was bad news.
"You can still go, but we are having important guests coming tonight for dinner. I will take you straight to Nasuada's or the concert after; I have spoken to Ajihad already and he's agreed to let Nasuada and Katrina know." He finished speaking and looked at us as I look up at Alyx. He grins.
"Sure sure Daddio! No problem, just so long as we still get to go. I mean like for realzies its Dangling Fate! And they like never do concerts in Teirm." My father laughs and I nod. Helen sighs.
"You adolescents can still go to your concert but only after dinner." We nod; I get up and hug my dad before leaving again to go call Nasuada and Katrina.
Nasuada Nadarasdaughter is one of my closest friends. She understands Alyx and I and is so philosophical and funny. She's a year older than us and yet looks nearly 3 years older with her long dark hair, smooth dark skin and wise eyes. Ajihad is her father.
Katrina Ismirasdaughter has known Alyx and I since we were all kids. She's the same age as us and looks it with her hair the color of polished copper and kind blue eyes like the sky. Both groan along with me over the lack of ability to hang out before the concert. About 4:30 in the afternoon, after an hour long therapeutic whine session, I hang up and go to shower so as to be ready for the concert by dinner time.
