Even though the twins were allowed to be in quaranitine together, Cheriss and Demariss were bored. There was nothing to do in here and they still had days to go. They tried telling jokes, sharing stories, even trying to guess what the other was thinking. A very short game of Eye Spy took up less than a candle mark that first day.
Cheriss had listed all the herbs and flowers useful in scenting candles the second day. On the third Demariss took the same herbs and explained cooking uses. That topic just made them both hungry and a bit homesick. That night Cheriss went sleep crying, missing home that badly.
Day four dawned the same as the last three. Today they were to go over the friends who might miss them by now. But as they started talking neither wanted to talk about home that day. So instead they started guessing what the other might Impress. Of course they had to be silly about it.
Cheriss paired her big brother with a bronze. That alone set off the twins into an mark long giggle fest. Then De suggested that his sister Impress the same. Eyes wide she smacked him and asked Demariss why. When he did the tomboy screetched loudly and smacked him again.
Then they got serious. It was more probable that they both would Impress greens. Or perhaps a blue for Demariss. Neither of the pair thought about the mutations in flitters that they had seen at home. Quite honestly they forgot about them in their excitement.

Tesni pushed open the door of the quarantine unit. She was glad to be working here today. Yesterday had been a rough day in the infimary. She and two other Healers had assisted a birth, the baby was early and breech. They had saved the mother and the child, but it had been harrowing. The Candidate Quarantine was much more relaxing, and furthermore, Tesni had just Searched two from South Sands and dropped them off with Arktos less than a mark ago. They should be in here shortly.
She heard chattering in the common room and walked in to see who it was. Ah, the twins... and Jaysen should still be around here somewhere too. The place was getting a bit crowded. "Good morning, how are you feeling today? I mean, besides bored to tears," she said with an impish grin.

Jaysen was laying on his bed, arms behind the back of his head and his fingers interlaced when he thought he heard voices coming from the common room. Misty, too, looked outside the door and chittered something at her pet. "Sounds like we're no longer alone, Misty. But yes, I'd say we have new arrivals." He got off the bed and rose to his feet and waited for Misty to get settled on his shoulder before exiting the room and walked down the hallway in the direction where the voices were coming from.
He saw Tesni at the far end of the common room, her face turned as if she were addressing someone and was speaking, but he only managed to catch the tail end of the conversation. As soon as he walked in, he nodded to the woman before seeing who else was present. Oh, a brother and sister? That was interesting. At least he and Misty wouldn't be so bored by themselves now. The queen firelizard trilled a greeting at the siblings before Jaysen spoke up. "This is about as bad as the doldrums, Tesni, but at least now I won't be quite as bored." He gave her a mock glare before grinning, then turned to give his full attention to the other two. "Greetings to both of you. I'm Jaysen, recently come from Azure Isle. This," he gestured to his gold flit, "is Misty."

Cheriss was startled at the sound of voices. First a female then a male sounded off in short succession. There was someone else there? When did this happen? Blushing faintly she looked to her twin for guidance. This was a rare moment for Cheriss, normally she was one to jump into things. But the topic they were just discussing made the teen uncomfortable. Eyebrows raised she waited on a clue from her brother.
Demariss was just as startled as his sister, but was better at hiding somethings. Glancing at Cheriss for a moment to reassure her with a grin, Demariss chimed in after the other male, "Hi there, Jaysen. I'm Demariss, and Cheriss is currently speechless. Hello, Misty. What a beauty you are!" He praised with a smile lighting his eyes.
Cheriss took this as a good sign and chimed in as well, "I am not speechless! De you know better!" She screeched with a mock blow to her brother's head. After pulling on a winning smile, Cheriss turned to the others in the room, "We come from Green Valley our selves. Our Bran is around somewhere, but don't ask me where!" She finished on a slightly self conscious note. Giggling softly she waited to see what would happen. Surely the boredom would slow soon!

Jaysen nodded at the siblings. "Well met, both of you," he said, grinning at Cheriss. Misty likewise crooned with delight when Demariss paid her a compliment. "Green Valley, huh? I can't say I've ever heard of it. Then again, Azure Isle is pretty much cut off from the rest of the continent unless you arrive by ship. Or dragon," he added. Cheriss then said something about "our Bran" but the sailor couldn't quite figure out what she was referring to. "Oh, you brought a pet with you?" he asked. "I was lucky enough to have Misty stay with me in quarantine. I'd be lost in these strange waters without her." The queen flit likewise trilled in agreement. She'd be just as lost without her pet.
Jaysen then took a chair near the siblings. "So, mind if I ask who Searched you two?"
