The Twins

The two women sat in the teahouse until the night slowly descended onto the city.

They had said nothing for the entire day, just looking out the window, but as the luminous pearls that illuminated streets at night slowly began turning on, and the city began calming down, the two women rose from their seats and left the establishment.

The city was always bustling with life. During the bright hours of the day, children, adults, and even families would be traveling on the roads. Servants would be hurrying to do their tasks, and officials would be rushing back and forth through the streets to make it in time for their meetings.

During the evening and night, the city was less cramped than during the day; however, it was just as lively. The restaurants and taverns were bursting with life. Some came to drink good wine, while others came to indulge in food and other pleasures.
