Charlie was starving, the guy at the nightclub hadn't taken her bait so now she was wandering around looking for a good victim. Finally, she ended up just leaning against a building on a busy street and wait to see what it offered her.
And what her luck a lost child. She leaned down as she saw the small child quivering as people passed by him without a care. "Are you lost kid?" Charlie asked softly, her aura pulling at the child's fear and increasing it slowly. She could feel his fear building, and his energy from that fear seeping into her. The child was shaking, and there were tears.
The child gave a light nod, but kept his distance, his mother had, afterall, told him to stay away from strangers.
"What does your mother look like?" Charlie questioned wondering if she'd get an answer from the boy, but there was no such luck. In the distance she could hear a lady calling out a name, "Peter!"
Charlie blocked out the sound, and in so doing blocked it out so the child couldn't hear the voice either. So the child wouldn't be able to respond to his mother's call and leave Charlie hungry.

Just then, a man ran past, and she could feel the grief and guilt pouring off of him in waves, much stronger than the boy's nascent fear.

Her gaze drifted from the boy towards the running man. She pulled on his emotions even more as her aura passed over him and tried to pull him back towards her. While this happened Charlie released the sound wave block that would keep the child from hearing his mother.
The child heard his mother and hurried over to her. "Mommy!" The child cried and hugged his mother's leg tightly as if afraid to let go and be lost in the crowd again.

Erik walked past Charlotte and noticed the little dude. "Dont eat him." He said calmly walking past. "Well, you know what I mean."

Bobby had been running for several blocks - it was time for a breather. He leaned forward, with his hands on his knees, and waited for his respiration and heartrate to normalize. He didn't notice the girl behind him, or the young boy running off.

She turned towards Erik, "I was trying to help him find his parents." She stated losing focus on all her meals. She guessed she could just feed on him. Seeing the mother and child reunited she quickly caught up with Erik. "I thought I told you I wasn't this Tally chick you thought I was." She stated casually. "Why would I or how would I eat an adorable, scared little kid like that?"

As the pain in his lungs subsided, the pain in his heart resurged. He turned back the way he had come, and saw the couple Charlie and Erik. There's something about that guy...do I know him? Maybe the waiter at Chez Flippy? The one that served me and Ruby... At the thought of Ruby, a fresh wave of grief washed over him.

Go lick Lightning Coacto thought for a moment. He had not really thought about doing private parties, that usualy ment he was close to his audience then he would like to be. But if the money was good he would give it a shot. "It depends, on what the mother looks like" he teased the lady, " I never thought about it. Unless you don't mind my face. I was scared as a child and most kids under three are scared of my face." showing his face to the crowd he wondered their reaction. They backed up, a few of them putting a hand over their mouth, but the little boy who rode the tiger glanced up completely unphased.

((What happened to Ruby? I missed out on something... sweatdrop ))
Erik glanced at Bobby. Another familiar Face. The Silver Streak, if he recalled correctly. "You see something interesting?" he asked.

J_e_z ((What happened to Ruby? I missed out on something... sweatdrop )) ((He thinks she was killed at the end of the Mimic War, she went out alone to do some battlefield healing of the civilians, and never came back.)) Bobby turned away, "Sorry, thought you were someone else." His mouth spoke the words, but his mind still screamed Ruby!

"Now I think you've mistaken me for someone else - to my knowledge, "Silver" was a horse."

"Oh, Sorry...I'm doing that a lot recently. I thought you looked like this guy Bobby I used to know. Silver was his...nickname..." Erik said shrugging.

At the mention of both his names, Bobby paused, That smirk...Lucidity? But he's dead...just like Ruby Bobby shook his head, "Sorry, can't help you."
