|| Samir ||
It was morning, the time when the sun slowly rose from the depths of the earth. It was like a bird attempting its first flight, unsteady as it got ready, but majestic when finally taking off, soaring in the clear blue sky, bringing warmth on it's blazing wings. At this very moment, it was still preparing itself for the leap and, quite similar to it, the world below was starting its day without a hurry, as it was still in a sleepy daze. But when the guardian of the day began its journey across the welkin, time as if passed too quickly. The bright rays spread across the land, setting everything in bright colours, chasing away the darkness which still loomed around. It was bound to be a wonderful day.
Sunlight entered the room through the tall glass window, bending as it did so. Although only a fraction of its actual warmth reached the inside, its strength remained firm and hit the small 'hole' in the ball of covers, which lay atop the bed. Samir, the owner of the room, had the habit of curling up, much like a dog, and creating a cacoon for himself when sleeping, leaving only a small opening for his nose. Today was no different. Due to moving while he slept, one of his eyes got unveiled and, as light from the outside hit it, its eyelid lazily lifted itself. A blue colour, just like the sky, accepted the 'intruder' and the pupil adjusted itself carefully so the lad could see. Making a sound that almost sounded like a purr, the boy dug his head in the covers. He wasn't the type to easily get himself up, especially now, when the 'cacoon' was so warm and cozy, while outside it was cold and stingy. But duties called and the thought of looking like his sister Roza made him chuckle enough to awaken him completely.
Lifting himself up to a standing position, the covers fell from his head and arms as he looked around with hazy eyes. It was the usual sight to see. A room with black and white walls, where over the black were painted white stars and over the white-black stars. The ceiling was white, whist the floor was made of
black wood. Of course, truly black wood did not exist, so the darkest type which they managed to find was used, instead of just painting it. The room itself didn't house much, only a closet, divided into different compartments which were used to store a variety of things, and a chest of drawers, both made of the same dark wood. The only colourful items were the blue curtains on the bed. There were none on the window, since the younger preferred having a clear view of the outside world.
Yawning, Samir went over to where his clothes were and changed his attire quickly. The boy was glad that the servants didn't come to dress him up like they used to when he was little, since he found it embarrassing. Stretching with a smile on his face, he walked over to the window, wearing a black vest with a white shirt underneath, black pants and shoes.
"Ah, what a perfect day." he sighed as he observed how bright the world seemed
"If I know better, someone is going to ruin it soon." he added with a pinch of disappointment and a dash of excitement.
One of the servants knocked on the door and, after receiving permission, brought in a bowl of water and towels, after which they took their leave. Going over to it, the young man put a towel tightly around his neck, in order to prevent his clothes from getting wet, and washed his face. Next he took a small bottle from the commode on legs and took some of the liquid in his mouth, stirred it up and then spewed it in the bowl. This was another one of his habits, cleaning his mouth when getting up and before going to bed. In some people's eyes, it was strange, but not to him. Taking the towel off and drying his face, he up it next to the bowl of water. The maid would come and pick it up later.
Next on the young master's agenda was nothing in particular. He did feel like having breakfast, but thought that he ought to first check up on how the rest of his beloved, or not, family was. Before walking out, however, something tickled him on the back, something he always felt when there was going to be a need to go away from home, thus he got out his cloak and, using his power, made it invisible on himself. Keeping it that way was not going to be a problem, since the feeling of being invisible was deep within his core. Finally deciding that he was all set, Samir walked out of his room and began strolling down the corridors.
'The day seems so nice, perfect for an outing. Although I myself feel like going out and about, something tells me brother dearest is going to be taking his leave.' he thought as he made his way down.
Truth be told, Samir did not know what he truly felt towards his brother. As his twin, the one he was bound to envy and hate the most was him, however, the boy didn't find himself always feeling in such a way. Indeed, there were times when the cause of his pain was his sibling, for he was in many areas better. And yet, the lad did not hate, nor despise, nor hold any form of disliking towards him. In fact, Shay was the one he trusted the most and, although he knew his brother sometimes saw him as a tool for information, he didn't care, he was an informant anyway.
[By the way, since Shay is greed, does he collect things? I read this manga where a guy had the strange habit of liking cute things and I suddenly imagined Shay as a person who collected cute items out of greediness XD That would be v-e-r-y out of character]
