Almi & Merill al-Ghuraab

Elven (eastern) twins joined by the thread of life itself, and more so by all they've endured. Almi and Merill are mischievous, discourteous, curious and not quite sane. They are most often found together, fluttering about like excited birds or lazing by the warmest hearth—sitting quite comfortably on the precipice of madness.

Their dedication to Virgil is sacrosanct; they'd sooner kill themselves than betray the king. More than that, though, they feed off his nearness. If you were to find them fluttering or lazing, he is very likely nearby or in the same room. Remora, those two.

Beyond that single constant, the chirruping, larking twins are nothing if not capricious. They are drawn to the tiniest, most insignificant of things, regularly missing the forest for the trees. When not training or being lectured, they can be found crouched in corners, skulking by scullery maids or perched atop precarious roosts throughout Saradin.

Almi is the more outspoken of the two, and also the sister more inclined to confrontation. Merill, while no less impish, is the more subservient twin—little as that means where they're concerned.

Appearance
Buoyant and restless, they are generally walking on either the balls or heels of their feet, and scoff at shoes. Only after being censured by Virgil or when especially sleepy do they revert to a flat-footed gait. Like most eastern elves, they're a head shorter than the average human, with pointed ears and angular faces—though the twins have a distinctly impish touch to their features. An easily imagined curve to the corners of their lips.

Their matching cherry-red tunics and disheveled chin-length hair, sunny as the wheat fields beyond Saradin, make it difficult to tell the two blithesome elves apart. Look closely and Almi's wandering left eye—a sindoor strabismus—is a sure enough marker.
