The week had been a short one, but then again, every time Uncle Paydon came to visit the time seemed to fly by. Her parents and uncle had gone out to dinner tonight ("just the grown-ups this time, Kinley!"), so Kinley had taken the time to escape Renata, her bodyguard. She was pissed, to put it lightly. Pissed that the so called grown-ups had thought to exclude her, and pissed that her parents wouldn't let her leave with her uncle when he left tomorrow. She didn't want to stay in Solas. Didn't want to live with her mom and dad.
Why did Uncle Paydon get to travel the world and have an awesome time, and she had to sit around like a bump on a log with Mom and Dad?
Kinley was in the orchards, currently. It was off limits, and thus was one of her favorite places to escape to, when she could. She loved to climb the trees and chase the animals that were penned in the neighboring fields. She loved to eat the delicious fruit after she plucked it from the tall branches just as much as she loved to collect the rotten apples and peaches and store them under the beds of some of her least favorite estate employees.
Anyway. Tonight she had slipped away from Renata and had picked up a fallen branch and was smacking it against a pear tree, watching the unripe fruit fall. Some of the pears fell on her, and she could feel the bruises forming on her arms, but she didn't care. She kept whacking away.
