Kin withdrew her wandering hand and looked down at the ranting geezer. All his words got in return was a mocking tongue. “Nyeee~” Still, she couldn’t be too mad at the interruption. It gave her a moment to gather her thoughts. To regain control. Now if only her heart would stop racing... The trickster’s smile sharpened into a crescent grin. Turns out her new friend was thinking exactly what she was thinking. “Oh, I like the sound of that~! We can make a game out of it...” Tag and hide-n-seek were her favorites. So why not both? “Quick, grab the ammo!” She lifted a finger, aiming a playful poke at the wolfish woman’s nose. Where there was a snoot, there had to be a... “Boop!”Kin took a step back, spread her arms. “Now... Catch me if you can~!” She underlined the taunt with a wagging tongue and leaned backwards. Her whole body shimmered with ghastly light. Instead of flopping against the roof she passed right through it. Only a haunting giggle was left hanging in the air. One short free fall and a surprisingly soft landing later the trickster sprinted out the building. Not through the door or even a window, no... She slipped through the back wall, still bathed in that eerie glow. Her quick getaway took her towards the barns. Hay piles were a cozy hiding spot and she knew just the one with a good view to take potshots. A.J. Godfrey

Some adventures resulted in no treasure. Kin didn’t mind though. She enjoyed simply exploring. It was fun to wander and wonder. “Anniken, hm? A lovely name~” Her heart skipped a beat she felt Anniken’s touch upon her. Suddenly she was super aware of how close they were... Masking the bubbly little thoughts behind that unwavering smile, the trickster introduced herself in turn. “Some call me Harle, but my friends call me Kin.” Her eyes twinkled as she leaned closer for a whisper. “I wonder which one you will call me~” Little things could tell so much about a person. Though this one didn’t strike her as a dull killjoy. The adventurous fingers hesitated briefly. Kin glanced down. If this pocket was empty, then maybe... Should she...? What if her friend got the wrong idea? The thought was quickly pushed aside, hidden into some nice mental closet. What was a wrong idea here anyway? She could always say she was just joking. Only playing around. Slowly she started reaching for the back pocket. Yeah... However, her hand twitched, stopped, at a sudden shout. “Hey!”Down below, the bushy-bearded elder was glaring fiercely. He shook his cane at the troublemakers, complaining loudly. Like a breathless barking of an old dog. “How dare you grumble mumble harrumph humbug?!” Okay, well, he probably was saying something wise there, but the trickster didn’t bother listening. In her ears, all the lecturing had started sounding the same. Just dull grumbling that blended together into nonsense. A.J. Godfrey

Much to the playful woman’s bright glee, the kitty cat didn’t deny the snuggles. Her hand played in his fur, patting and stroking. So soft, so smooth~! Cute things were her favo... hm, second favor... Okay, maybe not even the third, but they were definitely high up on the list of favorite things. Especially ones so small and cuddly.
When the new friend, Topaz, introduced himself, Kin repeated the name. “Tooo...paz. Topaz...” Slowly she rolled it over her tongue, as if trying to memorize it. After a pause for pondering, she nodded eagerly. “I like it!” Short, sweet and cute! “My name is Kin. Niiice to meetcha!” She left her last name out on purpose. This little guy didn’t need to know such tiny details, right? Right...
Wonder sparkled in the golden eyes as the knowledgeable kitty explained the berries. “Oooh? Is that sooo?” Beneath the pretend awe, the trickster tried to keep her smile from getting too sharp. Too devious. But it was just too perfect... She knew some people who were so nice that they deserved some extra berries in their breakfast porridge.
Kin blinked, snapped out of her plotting by a strange sound. She released her hug and glanced around. “What the-?” Her fake accent slipped briefly, but she quickly caught herself. “Huuuh~? What are theese things?” She brought a finger to her lips and tilted her head, as if the motions would help her thoughts roll better.
After a pause, the trickster’s puzzled expression brightened again. She leaned down to poke Topaz. Poke. Poke poke. “Heeey, do you think they will let me huuug them?” She had no intention of actually doing it though. These things looked like some kind of... weird fish lizards... And she didn’t like slimy things. But if she could catch one and slip it into someone’s bed...

Hoooi!
Yus, and this mischievous spirit would totally tease the lights out of Kaida. Even if the scary truth about poison was revealed, Kin wouldn't worry at all. She would drag Kaida into her brand of madness ooor target the poor gloomy girl with it. Either one is fun for her!
Hm hm, what kind of jobs does Kaida usually take? Cuz Kin likes treasure hunting, capturing things and exploring dangerous areas (and occasional slaver beat downs). What sort of fate would drag a killjoy and prankster face to face?

Yus, Kin will definitely teach Sovereign how important it is to take things lightly. She will definitely poke fun at his status though. Authority figures get no respect from her, not unless they turn out to be super impressive and/or charismatic.
So a slaver beat down mission it is then! Where do you wanna have the thread? Would it be somewhere familiar, like Basalt Town? Sneaky little rats running their nasty business right under the new guild master's nose. Or would you prefer somewhere foreign? A place where both Sovereign and Kin are visitors brought together by luck? Sovereign Pale

Yus, lots of similarities between Sovereign and Kin! Both wear a smile as a mask and find fun in poking people. I think the biggest difference between them is motivation. Sovereign seems to have big goals, plans in motion and stuff he wants to change. Kin, meanwhile, just wants to have fun. Playful order vs. mischievous chaos kind of thingy.
They would definitely get along well. Causing chaos, sharing jokes and beating up killjoys. It would be super interesting to have them team up for something. Taking down terrible people sounds perfect. Liiike... Slavers for example. Kin absolutely hates slavers because she's all about freedom. Anybody who takes freedom away from others is immediately on her prank list. And kick list too.
What do you think? What kind of terrible people does Sovereign despise?

A jubilant “Yaaay~” left Kin’s lips when she was granted her reward. Much to her immense glee, the ears were exactly as soft and fuzzy as expected. Like fabric that was way too fancy for her to afford. The compliment was met with a sly comment. “Oh, I know plenty of tricks...” She underlined the claim with affectionate scratches right behind the ears. Deftly her fingers danced, playing with the stranger’s senses just as much as they played with her fur. There was something so strangely captivating about the woman. The fluffy tail swaying back and forth started seeming rather hypnotic. While the curious blonde suppressed the odd urges whispering in her ear, she still found herself wondering... Was it fluffy like a pillow? She wouldn’t have minded spending the rest of the day like this... However, a trickster was still a trickster. Stronger than curious urges were the whispers of mischief. While one hand continued to work its magic, the other moved to pull the wolfish woman closer. She plotted to guide her into a hug, pressing against her gently. Another set of scratches offered distraction and encouraged the motion. Slowly, slyly, Kin’s affectionate touch go adventurous... One hand caressed the fuzzy ears, while the other explored the stranger’s clothing. Especially around the pockets. She was betting there would be a money pouch somewhere... around... here, maybe? A playful whisper laid another layer of deception, something else to think about. “You know~ I didn’t catch your name~”A.J. Godfrey

Sudden shouting stole Kin’s attention. She turned towards the voice and her gaze widened. Ooh, a talking cat! She had heard of them, but never actually met one. Stopping the gathering, she shifted quizzical glanced between berries and the lively stranger. Well now... Was this little critter underestimating her? Thinking she was just some ignorant traveler? Hm~ That could prove handy...
The trickster cocked her head, seeming oh so very puzzled by the claim. “Huuuh~? But they look sooo pretty...” She slowed her speech just the tiniest bit, stretching it like a simple farmer would. Her features found a relaxed, disarming smile. She waited for the cat to get close.
Just a little closer...
Suddenly, Kin reached towards the feline stranger, arms open for an embrace. “Aww, you’re sooo cuuute~!” The line between deception and truth blurred. She honestly did want to squeeze the fluffy little thing, snuggle him against her chest and caress that smooth fur. “Do you have a name, lil buddy~?” If the cat allowed himself to get caught in the hug, he would’ve gotten cuddled relentlessly.
Between the snuggles -or failed flailing if the cat resisted- the trickster voiced an innocent question. “Sooo, um, why are these berries bad? They look tasty to me...” Beneath the ignorant facade, she was fishing for ideas. Maybe this cat would know some interesting things she totally shouldn’t do with them.

Lush green forests covered the mountainous landscape. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, playing on the moist moss. Beautiful flowers and odd plants flourished. And the breeze carried a cheerfully whistled tune.
A lithe figure stalked through the quiet greenery. The playful light revealed a brightly smiling blonde woman. Her dark jumpsuit blended with the shadows as she rustled through thick bushes. A fallen tree trunk invited her to tiptoe along it, leading her over a glimmering stream. Though she was a stranger to these lands, she moved with fearless curiosity. Everything was new and interesting!
Kin stopped at the end of the trunk, peering at the path ahead. She reached down her jumpsuit and pulled out a rolled up map. With a ponderous hum she studied her surroundings. If she was somewhere over here... Then to the west, there was supposed to be a place called Rhyolite Village.
...Or was it east?
The trickster flipped the map upside down and cocked her head. Hm. Nope. Didn’t make any more sense like this either. Oh well! She stuffed the map back into her clothing and hopped down from her perch. Tiny details like being totally lost could wait. She had a super important errand to run, you know.
Kin searched around until she found a promising bush. Hm, yes, triangular leaves. This had to be the one... It was heavy with bright red berries. Anyone from the area probably knew those happened to be incredibly poisonous. Yet she produced a small pouch and started eagerly filling it. The whistling gave her task a leisurely rhythm.

The crescent grin sharpened as the stranger took the bait. Kin stifled a snicker beneath her breath. Little did her friend know that this bet was rigged... From this distance, the only options were hilarious failure aaand the itty-bitty chance of smashing success. That’s right! Either way, she would still be entertained! Truly a devious plan. Aaaand... Boom. After an impressive arc, the fragile bomb found its target. The elder was nearly knocked over from sheer surprise. A messy splatter covered his face. Upon recovering from the shock, he started furiously spitting out yolk and shards of eggshell. Meanwhile, Kin doubled over, clutching her gut. Gleeful giggling danced in the wind. “Mweehhehehehee~!” She laughed herself breathless, flopping over and gasping like a fish on dry land. Even when it started hurting, she still squirmed with laughter. After a while the playful woman finally managed to get a grip. She bounced back onto her feet. A happy sigh left her lips as she wiped away her tears. “Hee~ Nice throw. Totally worth a muffin.” A fair payment for fair entertainment. But before she would share any sweet treats, there was something far more important to do. Suddenly the trickster’s tone gained a sly edge. “Buuuut~ I haven’t seen anyone spit out delicious things...” Her eyes twinkled like tiny stars as they suddenly focused on the triangular targets. “Which means...” Grabby hands reached for the ears, an eager motion that embodied the word ‘gimme’. She had no intention of stopping at just one touch though.... If the wolf-eared friend kept her word, she would have received relentless petting and patting. Said ears were in for poking, brushing and twiddling. Even her hair wouldn’t be safe from getting messily ruffled. It was super special research, you know. Kin needed to find out if they really were as soft and fuzzy as they looked. Important stuff. A.J. Godfrey

Hoooi!
I like that idea! Kin would make it her super secret mission to poke Miss Serious and Dignified until all maturity goes out the window. For that I think some kinda thievery mission would be perfect. They could sneak into some secure place, steal something fancy and important, and then make a daring escape from grumpy guards, yus. Along the way Kin tries to convince Mercy to try things her way. Aaaand shenanigans ensue.

Kin was winding up another throw when a new voice caught her off-guard. She froze in mid-motion, almost dropping the egg. The questions buzzing through her head -namely when and how- had to make way when the stranger’s words fully registered. Sneaking up on her was one thing, but... Someone... wanted to join her fun? Now this was a first.
Surprise flipped into glee. The prankster finished throwing that egg before turning her attention towards her new friend. “Sure! Help yourself~” She opened the sack a little further, letting the nameless woman take her pick. Lucky thing there was enough ammor for two!
The golden gaze studied the stranger from head to toe. And back up again. Kin let out a pondering hum. Hm hm, yup yup... She had no idea who this was. Seemed nice enough though. Usually people who caught her in the act were all don’t do this and stop that.
Speaking of such people...
In the distance, a grumpy elder waddled in view. His bushy beard and brows covered most of his face. If white facial hair made a man important, then that guy must’ve been the big chief. Stomping his cane furiously, he demanded to know what was going on here. ...Or that’s what Kin guessed anyway based on the frantic gesturing. She couldn’t quite hear his grumbling from so far away. All the scolding just blurred together anyway.
The trickster’s lips curled into a sly smile. She aimed a playful point at the steaming grump. “Hm~ I bet you a muffin that you can’t hit that dusty old dummy over there~” She underlined the challenge by lifting the sack, offering more ammo.

The morning sun carefully peeked from behind the horizon. A rooster snoozing on its perch snapped awake and greeted it loudly. The sound got the people of Dacite Village stirring, preparing for a new day. In a cold, uncaring world, the average folk had no days off. Still, many wordlessly wished this day would be like any other. Quiet. Serene. And without surprises.
To them, Lady Luck smiled and whispered... No.
One poor farmer was faced with a mystery. His search through the the chicken coops yielded... nothing. Odd. There should have been at some eggs, but all the nests had been picked clean. Stranger yet, there were no signs of struggle, damage or panicking poultry. Like the thief had been... some sort of ghost... His wife sighed at the wild theory and suggested that maybe it was just a fox that got into the coop again. While the puzzled man eventually agreed, he couldn’t help but wonder... What kind of fox would only steal eggs?
Meanwhile, some manner of foxy figure was scampering up the side of the largest municipal building. A black jumpsuit rustled softly with each motion. Bare hands and feet found good grip from small holes and edges. Golden eyes gleamed, accompanied by a sly smile. A playfully hummed song danced in the breeze.
Soon enough Kin found herself on top of the building. She plopped down at the ledge, watching the little people scurry below. Well, big people, but they looked little from here. She patted a small jute sack by her side, careful not to crack anything. Not just yet anyway... Upon picking some suitably challenging targets, she reached into the bag. A mischievous whisper left her lips.
“Bombs away~”
Roughly two seconds later a white projectile whizzed across the air. It flew in a long arc before coming down. Yellow yolk splattered against the ground. Soon another bomb came down to make a mess. Worse yet, it brought friends. Anyone unfortunate enough to be lingering around the main municipal building was getting bombarded mercilessly. And the mischief-maker had brought plenty of ammo...
