Daily Dose 2

I missed adding yesterday so today I'll just add something random.  Or actually, I'll talk about Xilf.

Xilf is the childhood friend of Sync.  Her parents are lower-class commoners that live near the docks.  Her father works with hard labour, filling boats and warehouses.  Her mother helps at a general store every odd day.  They have a rocky marriage due to temper issues and gossip, blablabla they're never seen again.  Why?  Cause Sync can't speak to them, he can't tell them what happened.  They still believe, 4 years later, that she's traveling the world with a criminal. And if they saw him, they'd probably beat him silly for just taking her along.  Then they'd report him.

So anyway, Xilf, she doesn't particularly get along with her father, maybe ok with her mother.  But she doesn't like to go home because of the fighting and yelling, causing her to spend most of her time at Eugene's house.  Which helped fuel Sync's friendship with her, but they are already best friends so it just strengthens it.

While she's not at home, Eugene's, or running around with Sync she spends her time with her group of orphan/poor-buddy-people in the slums. All roughly the same age, similar interests, sometimes family lives.   Together they either talk or travel, sometimes play some games of pickpocket around uptown of Queth.  Sometimes they go out of city to practice swords, Xilf giving them pointers from Sync, whom is learning from Knight academy at that time.

Sync is also friends with the orphan/poor group and will often times skip his Knight training to join them in their misdemeanor endeavors.  Which causes his classes to fail and him to drop out, but that's a whole other story!

Xilf is roughly 17-18 years old at the point of her relevance to the story, has long black hair usually seen in a ponytail.  She wears a leather jacket(not modern leather jacket, something more like this jacket) with a black shirt and pants.  Overall she's pretty regular.  Hmm, she is intelligent in most cases and capable to an extent, not gifted in combat, and mostly agile.

Her and Sync became friends after Eugene kept talking Sync to the docks as a child where he met Xilf while she was helping her father unload a boat.  Of course they kept meeting and Sync got more and more used to not being formal around someone so they started to play together, then grew up together, then escaped the law together!  Yay!

And without spoiling anymore of the story I will finish here.  She's not really going to be part of the story beyond Sync talking about her so it's pretty much all unneeded information.
