(I hope this is ok, I've never been confident about my intros.)<br/><br/>"Please brother, just this once?"<br/><br/>"No. And before you ask again, no!" Keno was doing his best to sound serious, but he was having trouble keeping the smile from his face. His sister, Aross, sat in front of him, glaring angrily up at her much taller sibling. She was just too cute to be mad at.<br/><br/>"But you've let me go with you before!"<br/><br/>"Yep, and do you remember how that turned out?"<br/><br/>An awkward moment of silence passed, a blush spreading across Aross face as she turned her gaze to the floor.<br/><br/>"Please be careful out there."<br/><br/>Keno laughed, wrapping his sister in a furry hug, rustling the fur on her head as he released her. "Always. Don't worry about me, I'll bring you home someone to eat."<br/><br/>With that, Keno slipped out of the door of their small apartment, leaving Aross alone in the small room.<br/><br/><br/>"Now then... Where will I strike today?..." Keno pondered, staring out of a shadowed alley out onto the morning traffic.
