After a breakfast of eggs and toast the siblings took turns in the shower as they got ready for work. It didn't take them long and before long the apartment had been locked up and they were heading down the stairs. Once at the bottom they turned left and began heading towards work. Since Sebastian needed the car to reach his many jobs, the younger siblings resorted to walking everywhere. But they didn't mind, it was good for them and allowed them to see all the scenery as they passed. Alastair walked along beside Estelle, hands shoved into his pocket. When they reached a corner he slowed, glancing down it. Estelle smiled as they turned down it. [color=violet]"Say hi to Bard for me."[/color] Alastair nodded as he paused at the Animal Shelter. It wasn't far and they passed it everyday on the way to work.

As his sister continued walking, Alastair headed over to the cages in the Animal Shelter. He noticed a lot of the dogs seemed to be barking and making a rucuss. He wondered what it was that had gotten them so riled up. He stepped in front of a large and cage and knelt, smiling softly at the golden Labrador sitting within. [color=gold]"Hey Bard, how are you doing this morning?"[/color] He asked softly as he reached his fingers inside to gently pet the dog. He had meet Bard a few weeks ago when he had randomly stopped at the shelter on the way home. He had become fast friends with the dog ever since. He wanted very much to adopt Bard but their apartment didn't allow animals so he has been visiting the dog every day.

Estelle glanced back as she saw Alastair kneel down next to one of the cages. She smiled before turning and facing forward. The cafe was only a few blocks away and she glanced at her watch, seeing that she still had time. They had left the house a little early since it hadn't taken them that long to get ready. Estelle inhaled the warm air, a small breeze ruffling her long brown locks. She was dressed in her uniform outfit, pants and a white buttoned down shirt. Her phone vibrated in her purse and she looked down, hand reaching in to search for it. Suddenly, she felt herself collide with someone or something. With a yelp she stumbled backwards, tripped over her own feet and tumbled to the ground. Her purse fell beside her, contents scattering along the pavement. Estelle lay there dazed, wondering what in the world just happen.
