Introductions

The girl's eyes tear up in the outside's light but quickly adjust to it, as her legs remember how good walking felt, as she follows the man into the light.

A gentleman in his late forties was waiting by the door, in the wet, empty street. “Sir.” He bowed, placing a coat over the Master’s shoulders. “Jonathan, meet…” He waved his hands towards the girls, waiting for each to present herself. “Kim.” The auburn haired girl curtsied, while the redhaired simply stared defiantly and spat on the sidewalk. The lord pulled hard onto the leashes, making all three of them gasp for the precious air they was suddenly denied. "She’s Red.” He said, smiling. “And…” “Helen…”, She says, straightening her back, gently smoothing out the small tattered clothes she had.

"I am Jonathan.” The butler retorted, with a warm smile. “It’s a pleasure to meet you all. Please!” He hands each of them a soft cloaked coat. Kim got a deep blue one, for which she smiled and curtsied again. Red snatched her burgundy one and pulled up her cloak with a scowl. Kind eyed, the gentleman nodded to her, then turn and handed Helen her own forest green coat. “Please.”

“Thank you”, she smiled happily, amber eyes warm and bright as she took the coat, placing it over her shoulders.

Except for a tiny sparkle in his summer wheat coloured eyes, the lord was expressionless. He turned around and started walking down the street, tapping away, Jonathan in tow.
