The news of constant strife and warfare was not unheard of by those who did not want to partake. Even still, this seemingly meaningless conflict had affected the lives of eveyone, soldier and innocent alike. So why think of such bleak thoughts on a sunny day like this? Maybe because it was true? Regardless, it did not deter Kiara Bastion from navigating her way through Peak City, her brown eyes searching for a place to rest. Dressed in nothing but simple dark pants, a blue shirt, and her gray long coat, she took the look of a wanderer to its fullest. Brushing her long brown hair back from the increased speed of the wind, she almost passed the little diner completely before a small hand gripped into her own.

"There. I wanna eat there." 

The voice was small and elegant, belonging to the short girl beside her. At first glance, the existence known only as Marianne looked nothing short of a princess; with the flowing black dress, the air of attitude she carried herself in, and even the way her equally black hair was styled to cover her left eye, it was anyone's guess just how rich young girl was. Too bad she wasn't at all and this was just her personel preference of style and fashion. Her single seen red eye shining with delight, she half-led, half-dragged her companion over to the front door of Mukuan's Diner. 

"Alright, alright! Jeez, you don't have to pull," Kiara grumbled before entering the small establishment.

Such a normal looking place...certainly a change from the Destiny Conflict everyone was raving on and on about these days. That was what they were calling the war between the Ultimatum and Deux Corporation. It was a shock that his place had even managed to stayed in business at all. Taking in the change of pace, Kiara looked down at the pale hand still held in her grip. 

"Anywhere you wanna sit, Marianne?"

The younger girl titlted her head to pause in thought, before glaring at the wide windows. "Some place away from the sun please."

"Right. Excuse me?" Kiara saw a girl about her age in a white outfit with auburn hair standing near the front door. "Uh, table for two please. Can you put us somewhere without a lot of sun? And uh, one kid's menu too."

Marianne directed her glare up at her companion, obviously disapproving of such treatment. In response, Kiara shrugged off her malice and gave her a coy smirk in return.
