Melia woke up in the morning with the rays of the sun hitting her eyes. She was exhausted, completely jet-lagged for just getting back from Paris just the night before. Melia was a make-up artist, but a very talented one at that. Although to many she did not deserve the fame. Since Melia got popular from doing how-to video's on the internet. She eventually got up, hearing the sounds from her brother downstairs. Melor. Her older brother of coarse, by only a year. They both had the same birthday, which is why most mistook them for twins.

Melia dressed quickly. Wearing something very simple compared to her normal attire. Melia had to changed her style completely in order to get into half of her gigs. Although it was worth it. She was able to give her brother the life they both longed for. Not a rich one, but a comfortable one.

You see, the siblings grew up with no father. And their mother left when Melor was sixteen. He had to get a job at the tea house next door in order to provide for his little sister. Melor never completed high school. Now he is going back for his GED finally. After seven years. Melia headed downstairs of their loft apartment. Melor was laying on the couch in his boxers. A math book in front of him, and himself sleeping.

"Brother." Melia said sweetly. Rubbing her own eyes. He woke up slowly. Stretching hard.

"Morning... oh wait! Check my answers." Melor said to his sister. Holding up a piece of paper with nothing but chicken scratches. Melia took the paper as she went into the kitchen. Checking every single one of his answers. Although found he only had one right.... A small sigh came from her lips. Her brother was not an idiot as many thought. Math had always been a great weakness to him.

"Lets go next door." Melia suggested as she came back into the living room. Grabbing her tote bag filled with make-up of all sorts. She decided to go with a relatively simple look. One that would make her green eyes just pop. She applied her make-up. Just very simple browns and a bright blue.

Melor in the meantime went upstairs. Changing into a pair of dark jeans, and black button up shirt. He also put on a few necklaces and a bulky bracelet before sliding a black light wool coat over his shoulders. For a man, Melor did care deeply for his looks. Although maybe that was just what picked up from his sister. He came down just a second later. "Alright, lets go." The tea shop next door was one Melor visited at least a few times a week. His sister also when she was in town. Before leaving Melia made her brother take his math book. She would tutor him while there. It was a quiet place after all.

After all that the two were finally ready, they went outside and walked the short distance to next door. Wiping their feet at the mat before going inside with the ring of the bell. They had been coming to the building since they were just mere children. Buying sweets with extra quarters and lunch money. They took a look around, Melor being the first one in gave a small wave to the regulars and owner. Then Melia followed the rhythm. The two would appear to be twins. Melor was only slightly taller standing at six feet even. While Melia was just two or three inches shy of his height. The two took a table in the corner. Their usual table when they were together.
