#kiarastar

It was hard to imagine this woman was related to Lyra. There were similarities in their appearance, but where Lyra was welcoming Kiara was cold and closed off. Staring at Cherie she finally spoke.

“So you’re the little human that befriended my sister.” She crossed her arms, looking unimpressed.

Kiara had been enjoying walking the back roads when the tingle of magic caught her attention. Curious and wary she focused on where the magic was coming from. Stepping into the shadows she disappeared to reappear in the shadows of a garden.

Lyra had snuck away again while the others were out of the house. Making her way through the forest easily and towards the castle Gellert had told her about.

She only made it to the field of thestrals when a cold breeze stopped her. Turning around with the look of one bring caught with the cookie jar.

“I thought you were off to the city.” Lyra said softly as another figure stepped around the trees. Taller and leaner than Lyra but the same fiery red hair. Kiara’s hair was braided back so her sharper features were more noticable. Similar enough to tell they were related, but opposites in so many.

“Where are you going? This is far past our barrier.” Kiara hissed out. Walking forward with crossed arms. Lyra glanced around.

“I was meeting a friend.” She answered. Kiara looked confused. A creature friend? Lyra did tend to look after all the creatures in the forest. Her gaze lands on the thestrals.

It had taken a lot of talking, yelling, and magical tantrums but finally the two had been able to talk through the events.

Kiara was furious that Lyra had endangered herself. The what if’s running through her mind. But Lyra stayed adamant that this mage was of no threat. That he was kind and wanted to help. When Lyra showed her the crystal she was tempted to snatch it from her and destroy it. Fear that it was a trap.

This was... not ideal. Kiara was not meant to run a flower shop. Where Lyra had the green thumb, Kiara needed to keep her hands away from the flowers. Knowing her luck simply touching the delicate blooms would end badly.

Heaving a sigh, the woman decided to keep herself busy with the paperwork and register. Greeting guests minimally and simply leaving them to look. She knew it wasn’t the best customer service, but it’s what she could manage. They needed to shop to run but why couldn’t Rose have been able to cover?

The shop was empty of people. Then, hearing the bell ring over the door Kiara offered up her welcome from the register, not looking up from the papers.
