Zinnober 11th, 80 AC
Ah, the bustling streets of Vale. This time of the year they were completely flooded with humans and faunus getting ready for the Hallow's Eve festival. Spooky witches and scary skeletons littered the shops getting into the holiday spirit. Of course, this included homes as well, even faunus homes. Across the river from the commercial district, sat the residential area, and within that, several neighborhoods inhabited solely by Faunus.
Braith stood on her tiptoes, peeking her head over the window frame and looking out over the street. Braith was lucky. She lived juuuuuuuuuuuuust on the edge of the residential area, her street even lead to one of the bridges that connected the residential area to the commercial area! Sometimes, her mommy would let her walk to the commercial district with her friends, Indigo and Altan. Even if she didn't have any money to buy things, she liked being there! Seeing the shops and all the cool decorations, seeing hunters and huntresses! Oh, the hunters and huntresses! They were the coolest, Braith thought.
"
Braith, honey!" Braith's mother called her from another room and she quickly got down off of her tiptoes and ran to her mother.
"
Yes, mommy?" She said as she approached her mom. A rabbit faunus, just like Braith, though she had brown hair and large pair of brown ears. Braith's white hair and ears were still short, but that didn't matter, she liked them. She didn't care if Whitney already had her ears already grown in all the way, Whitney was just a meanie anyway.
"
Mommy's going to work now, so you be good." She smiled softly and leaned down to rustle her daughter's hair, between her ears. "And remember, if anything happens, you call my scroll, okay? You know the number, right?" She leaned back up and held out her scroll.
"
Yes! Uhm... 720... 5... 24... uhmmmmmm..." Braith scrunched her mouth up and furrowed her brow in thought. "
... Oh! 2914!" She said, triumphantly, as she beamed with pride at her mother.
Her mother chuckled before nodding.
"That's right, sweetie!" She quickly leaned back down and gave Braith a kiss on the forehead. "
I'll be back tonight, there's food in the fridge for lunch and snacks in the cabinet. I left the television on Muppet Street, so you can watch that if you get bored. I'll see you later tonight, honey."
"
Okay, mommy." Her mother smiled before heading out of the door behind her and locking it. As Braith's mother made her way down the apartment building, Braith ran by to the window to try and see her leave the street.
Yes, the bustling streets of Vale were quite the site to see, and though most residents of the apartment complexes were at work during the busy hours, plenty of happy people passed through the neighborhood to get to the commercial district. Of course, they can't all be nice, happy folks.
