245 BICKERING edited (1/2)

”Thank you for saving me.” A little girl approached Senja and spoke timidly.

Senja recognized her as one of the children inside the burning carriage. The girl wasn't alone, she was with the other children. Since she couldn't recollect them all, Senja assumed they would've all been in the carriage as well.

However, the thing that most caught Senja's attention was the duo that escorted the children. The two men looked to be in their mid-20's and were twins.

While one fixed his eyes on Senja, the other walked closer to her.

”Sheng come here! It's purple!” He called to his twin by waving his hand after he ascertained Senja's hair colour under the dim light of the night.

The other twin jogged to his brother's side. ”It's indeed purple!” He said. ”How do you think she got this color?” The fellow named Sheng curiously asked.

”Maybe she was born with it?”

”No. I think she has some rare disease; don't you?”

”Hmm.” The first twin drew closer to Senja rubbed his chin while he was thinking. ”There is a possibility for that.”

”Do you think it's contagious?” Sheng shrieked behind his brother.

Senja's lips twitched when she heard their conversation. They're talking as though she wasn't there!

”Excuse me, who are you?” Senja interjected. Their conversation would run wild if she let them alone.

”Oh, we forgot to introduce ourselves. He is Sheng, my little brother and I am Xun. We are twins.” Xun grinned.

Well, that's obvious!

Their face was almost identical but for the shape. Sheng had a round face while Xun's jaw was a little bit square.Plus, he was also taller than Sheng.

”I am Senja.”

”We know you.” Sheng said cheerfully.

”You are quite famous, you know?” Xun chimed in.

”I guess so.” Senja mumbled, a little uncomfortable by their attention.

”Big sis, can I touch your hair?” The little girl who approached her earlier tugged at Senja's dress and looked at her expectantly.
