A lone girl with snow white hair and two blades that crossed her back walked through a forest, herblack leather boots digging into the earth with each step she took. She reached a oak tree that streached about 100 feet up into the air and started to climb its branches, making sure to only step on the stirty ones. Her target was a the top where numerous apples dangled from the branches.
[I'll make him 17 in this

Markal woke up and yawned. He looked around to see what had awakened him and saw the girl climbing up the tree he was in. He was far enough up she probably hadn't seen him yet. He swung down lower so she could, but didn't get too close. He was a little wary of the blades on her back. "Hello."

Luna let out a yell in suprise upon hearing the boy and nearly lost her grip before regaining her composure and shot a glare at the boy who had startled her. "Don't do that." She said with a stern look, turning back to her target. "You scared me half to death." She added without looking back at him.
Markal grinned. "All in good fun." He looked up to see what she was so focused on. He'd been eating the apples before he fell asleep in the branches of the tree. He swung down by his legs and watched Luna's progress. She was slowly making it up.
Luna continued to climb the tree, trying to ignore the person watching her as she did so. She was about half way up when she stopped and looked at the boy. "You just gonna stare at me till I get to the top or what?" She asked feeling a little annoyed. She was also climbing in high heeled boots and a dress, which only added to her annoyance.
Markal shrugged. "Not much else to do." He swung back up to a sitting position and jumped to another branch, catching it with his hands. He swung to another branch, executing a flip. He entertained himself in this way and ended with launching himself up to the very topmost branch. He was mostly just showing off at this point.
Luna watched the boy execute the flips from branch to branch, looking unamused. "If thats your way of trying to impress me, its not working." She said and sighed. "Look, I haven't eaten in awhile, I just want an apple." She said continuing her journey up the tree untill she reached the apples. She picked the biggest one she could find and polished it on her dress. Finally, she took a big bit out of it, enjoying the tast in her mouth.
Luna nodded and swallowed. "Nice to meet you. I'm Luna." She said and took another bite of the apple.
Markal thought for a moment then said, "It suits you." He reached out and grabbed the closest apple. "Oh, and watch out for the green apples."
Luna looked over at the boy. "Why, whats wrong with the green apples? And why would you say my name suits me?"
"Luna means moon right? Well, your hair looks like moonlight. And the green apples are poisonous." He took a big bite out of his apple. "Not deathly so, unless you eat a lot of them."
"Ah, poisonous." She plucked a near by green apple, rolling it around in her hand. Then she jabbed a long fingernail in it, drawing out some juice. "Funny how something so deathly can look to appetizing, huh?" She thought out loud, sniffing her finger that was now drenched in juice.
"Yeah. Suppose we can't all be sweet and defenseless." He threw down the apple core and watched it fall.
Luna stopped and looked over at Markal. 'Whats that suppost to mean?" She asked feeling a little confused.
"Just that, well the green apples don't want to be eaten so they put up defenses, make themselves poisonous to others, while the red apples are so sweet and delicious, but they don't survive long." He had a far-away look in his eyes and looked as if he were remembering some long ago memory.
Luna looked towards the boy thoughtfully, then she sensed something about him. "Your not a normal boy, are you?" She asked him with a concentrated expression.
Markal grinned. He'd snapped out of his thoughts. "Nah, normal's overrated. How'd you know?"
Luna grinned back. "I'm a wiccan, I can sense things." She said while tossing the green apple that was in her hand to the ground. "And what about you? I know your not a wiccan."
"I'm a were. As far as I know, at least. I'm not really sure what my mom is." He wasn't quite sure what a wiccan was but it sounded cool, kinda like it had to do with magic. Well that or wicker baskets
