Sayuri hummed a tune as she walked down the gently sloping hill that led from her house. Her garden turned into a small wooded area and at the base of the hill a gentle stream flowed. All the land was hers; it belonged to the property, an old Japanese styled house.
She was outside for no particular reason, the day was fine, a light breeze disturbed the tree leaves, and made flower heads bob as if they were listening to her tune.
'You have a fine ear for music,' came a voice to her left. She started, turning and raising an eyebrow. Why she didnt run away at the sight of the gentleman that addressed her she wasnt entirely sure...maybe because despite his appearance - a satyr! she didnt feel that his presence was a threat.
'Thank you,' she said, dipping a little curtsey and smiling.
'And you possess a certain innocence...you believe in the magic of the worlds, where others have become closed to it,' he stated, getting to his hoofed feet and stepping from what Sayuri realised was a fairy ring.
'Would you like to be closer to the magic?' he asked.
Not knowing why, she nodded.
'Then take this,' he pressed something metallic and heavy-ish in her hands. She glanced down at it, wondering at the odd tools hanging from the chains.
'Guard it well...' was all she heard.
The satyr had vanished once more. The strangely dazed feeling that had come over her since he started talking was dispelled. But the object was still in her hands.
'What is it?' she questioned out loud, holding it up and watching the sun glint of the silver.
'And what does this have to do with the magic of the world?' she turned, walking back up to the house. She would find out what this object was. And then wonder what, if any, impact this thing would have on her life.
'He didnt even give his name,' she realised, chuckling as she went inside.

'So you're a ladys' chatelaine huh?' she addressed the object that sat on the table of her house's verandah. Research at her local library, and after talking to the dusty old lady librarian, had led her to a book on sewing and embroidery. The chatelaine was an implement that could hold things like a needle case, thimble case and scissors. It was also useful for hanging keys, purse, watch or other valuables from the chains. It was an old fashioned item to be sure, she hadnt recognised it when she was given the 'relic' and even when it had been identified hadnt know its true purpose until she had done some research.
She looked out and up at the darkening sky. Night was drawing in. The chatelaine would have to stay outside. Luckily the verandah was waterproof, she wasnt sure she liked the idea of something so shiny getting rained on. She glanced once more at the metal shining dully in the waning light before going inside.

The next morning reveals something strange on the verandah... wet, tiny footprints that lead up to the chatelaine and seem to pace around it a few times. The footprints seem to vanish then, but the person who made them couldn't have gotten far... the water from them still hasn't dried!

Sayuri yawned, getting up slowly and pushing back her patchwork quilt. She turned, dangling her legs over the side of the bed, and pushing her feet into the slippers on the floor next to her bed. She yawned again, stretching and shuffling out of her room.
'Coffee,' she mumbled, walking to her kitchen. She opened the kitchen curtains, looking out at the sun that was just peeping over the horizon. The grass that she could see from her window was still dew-wet, and she made toast whilst her coffee percolated. Once the toast was made, she buttered it, putting the plate on a tray, her coffee in a large mug on it as well, and a teeny pot of jam for her toast, and she wandered outside to have her breakfast on the verandah. She put the tray down on the wooden table outside; which was lucky in a way because she got the shock of her life when she walked over to the Chatelaine.
'What the..?' she exclaimed, bending down to look closely at the damp footprints. Despite the warmth of the morning sun, she felt the hairs raising on the back of her neck.
'Is someone there?' she called out, feeling a little foolish doing so. But all she could hear right then and there was the trilling of the birds as they sung their morning chorus.

The following morning, the Chatelain seems to have vanished! The footprints are back... but this time, beneath the table is a wriggling bundle of fur that seems to freeze in place the moment you come into view.
Welcome, Catta!
(I apologize, I forgot to save the larger version of the pic. >_<)

Sayuri had felt rather foolish that morning that she found the damp footprints, shouting out into her garden as if she expected someone to answer! She had taken her breakfast back indoors, leaving the Chatelaine outside as the satyr had suggested to. That very next morning she was back outside, looking out at the view as the sun slowly started warming up the day. She almost dropped her cup when she heard the scrabbling noises from below the table on the verandah. She put the cup down, kneeling and peering under the table;
'What the?' she mouthed, looking at the small, cowering bundle of fur. Bright eyes blinked out from the head area, and a sharp chattering noise streamed from the creature as she reached out towards it.
'Okay, okay.' she said, retreating and sitting on a step that lead off the verandah. From there she could see under the table without having to move towards the obviously terrified creature. It was odd. The furry little thing resembled a ring-tailed lemur in appearance. But from what she could see, the face was a little more humanised. Where had it come from? And why had the Chatelaine disappeared on the same day? She needed answers of a sort; and clothes she realised, shivering in her nightgown. She headed inside, and dressed hurriedly.

Sayuri hurried back out from her house, her hair a tangled mess as she tugged down on the top she had thrown on. She had grabbed a piece of fruit, a banana to be more precise, as one of the things she knew about true ring-tailed lemurs was that they ate fruit and leaves being vegetarians. She hoped that this..whatever it was had the same likes and would be lured out. She walked slower, leaving the verandah and skirting it slowly before going over to the steps that lead to the garden. She sat on them, peering underneath the table. The creature had gone!
'Where are you?' she mused, twisting around to look as she stood again. A scrabbling noise from her right and above her made her look in the cherry tree that was so close to her house its branches tapped on the verandah roof.
'There you are!' she chuckled, as a pair of bright eyes peered back from within the coiled bundle of fur on a lower branch. She waved the banana up towards the creature who blinked a little and uncurled slightly. Sayuri peeled the skin back, waving the soft fruit as close as she dare without frightening the lemur-child. It squeaked softly, edging down the branch, making it dip lower and nearer to Sayuri, who held out a hand along with the banana. Finally the little creature leapt into Sayuri's arms, grabbing the banana and chewing on it, making noises of content. The lemur-childs tail coiled around Sayuri's wrist and its wide eyes blinked up at her.
'Well hello there,' she said, stroking between its - her ears she amended, having checked briefly what sex the little thing actually was! She finished the banana, gave a teeny burp and then jammed a furred hand in her mouth, falling asleep in a trice. Sayuri carried the babe into her house, debating what she was going to do. Was this child missing from somewhere?
Or was this the magic that she was meant to expect?

Sayuri had gotten quite used to little Catta (for that was the name she had bestowed on the foundling that had found its way to her), being around the house. Sayuri had made Catta a hammock-style bed by putting two brass hooks up on opposite wall corners in her room and hanging a sheet between them. A soft toy and a cushion joined Catta in there, and she would curl up in there at nights, chattering softly to herself in her baby nonsense before falling asleep.
In the mornings Catta would clamber out of the hammock, make her way to Sayuri's bed and clamber along side her, curling into the crook of her neck, her tail draping across Sayuri's chest. The first morning Catta did this made Sayuri jump - she thought someone was attacking her in her bed and she leapt up screaming! It took an hour to coax Catta from off the top of Sayuri's wardrobe.
When Sayuri woke up, she would swing Catta onto her shoulders, carrying her into the kitchen, making herself toast or having a croissant with her coffee, whilst Catta would eat her morning diced banana, satsuma's that she peeled herself and got sticky with the juice or any other sweet fruits. If the day was nice Sayuri took Catta into the garden, letting her clamber up and down the branches of the trees of her small orchard. Sayuri was beginning to bless whoever had brought Catta into her life. Was it the Satyr who had visited her but once? She didnt know - but she was happy with Catta..and it seemed the lemur-child was happy too.

Sayuri_Nitta (( Thanks hun *tugs into arpee as well* XD )) Sayuri tried to untangle Catta from her hair. The lemur-babe had skittered up onto her head at the sight of the people on the streets and was now trying to scalp her with her tiny fingers, as she approached the quaint cottage sitting amongst the trees. 'Catta please.' Sayuri muttered, untangling more hair from the girls fingers. 'That really does hurt!' TormentedAngie Angie was out exploring, as per her usual activities. This time, however, she was quite alone. No need for "protection" when you're only a little ways away from home, right? Her mind kept flickering to the wand, and what would happen with it. She'd been watching it for a few days now, but no signs of new prints, or that it had been disturbed in any way, but that didn't discourage her. She just knew, if she waited long enough, the answer would come to her.
"Just wish that voice had been a bit less...riddling," the fox-girl mumbled, not realizing where she was wandering to. Rather close to the cottage in question, Angie paused as she thought she heard another voice nearby. Raising her voice slightly, she called out to them. "Hallo there! Anyone around?" Sayuri_Nitta Sayuri finally succeeded in untangling Catta when a voice sounded. The lemur squeaked, shut her eyes and curled into a tight ball with her tail wrapped around her in Sayuri's arms. She walked towards the direction of the voice. 'Hello?' she said then saw the woman. 'Hi there.' TormentedAngie Angie waved brightly, tilting her head slightly as she noticed the furry squeaky ball in the woman's arms. "Quite the bundle you've got there." Chuckling softly, the fox-girl's ear flicked around, listening about her. "Nice day for a walk, isn't it?" Her tail wagged happily as she neared the other woman. "My name's Angie. Do you live around here?" She wasn't naturally such a chatterbox, but today seemed to be an exception. Maybe it was the over abundance in sugar she'd eaten earlier... Sayuri_Nitta 'It is a nice day. Or it was till Catta took fright and tried to pull my hair out,' she rubbed her scalp ruefully. Catta's eyes opened again and she peered out at the woman from under her furry tail. 'I'm Sayuri. I live out of Barton.' TormentedAngie Angie smiled in response. "She's quite pretty." The girl peered back at Catta, as her ears pricked forward curiously. "Nice to meet you Sayuri! I live just over..." Turning around, the fox-girl pointed off towards a clump of trees in the distance behind her. "Over there!" then she turned back to Sayuri and Catta. "What brings you two out this way? I hope I didn't distract you from something important..." She was always worried about whether she was bugging people or not.. Sayuri_Nitta 'Thanks.' she smiled. 'She's usually sweet but too many people frighten her right now.' Catta uncurled her long tail fully, blinking with round eyes at the strange woman. She chittered a greeting at her, an ear flicking. 'Oh no. We were just out getting some fresh air. I was also going to see if i could locate that Satyr again.' she chuckled. 'The one that gave me the Lady's Chatelaine. The one that vanished and was replaced by this little bundle.' TormentedAngie Angie's ear flicked again. Was she hearing this woman right? A satyr had given her an object and disappeared? Hmm.... "Funny. I was given charge of a rather pretty object recently. I wonder if the results will be similar?.." She mused quietly for a moment before nodding. "I haven't seen any satyr's around... But that doesn't mean one isn't around here. Maybe I can help you look? Though I suspect I'm not much help at all." Chuckling, Angie peered back at Catta, grinning at the chittering. "You needn't worry little one. I'm about as fearsome as a feather, or so people tell me. Sayuri_Nitta 'Its hard to tell I guess. I really didnt expect to receive Catta.' she laughed. 'I guess we can look inside the cottage?' she shrugged. Catta squirmed in Sayuri's arms then launched herself at Angie, scrabbling onto her shoulder. 'Umm..' Sayuri giggled. TormentedAngie The fox-girl was a little surprised at the furry bundle launching at her, but experience with Ryuuen held her still until the creature was settled. "Well you're quite friendly when you want to be." Laughing, Ang nodded to Sayuri. "It's as good a start as any!" She was eager to find this satyr, now, and find out what she could, if there was anything to find out in the first place. Curiosity killed the cat, no one ever said what it did to the fox. Sayuri_Nitta Catta peered at the large, twitching fox ears, grabbing one with her hands and nibbling lightly to see if it was edible. 'Catta!' Sayuri scolded, turning around and catching the lemur-babe. She waggled her finger. 'Let Angie's ear go.' TormentedAngie Angie squeaked, a rather odd sound, as Catta nibbled on her ear. "OH that tickles!" Wiggling the 'offended' ear, Angie couldn't help but continue to giggle. Her ears were sensitive, but not overly sensitive. Such actions would tickle but not harm. "She's alright, really. It just...-giggle- tickles. That's -giggle- all." Reaching up, Angie pat Catta gently on the head, while looking around. "So... which...way was this cottage again?" A sheepish grin spread upon the fox-girl's face, as she hadn't actually seen the building yet. Sayuri_Nitta 'Well okay,' Sayuri said, slightly mollified. 'Umm this way I think,' she pointed to a break in the tree-line. She was sure she had seen a stone chimney poking up as she approached the wooded area. Catta looked inside the ear, satisfied that it wasnt edible and chittered inside it. TormentedAngie Looking off towards the direction Sayuri pointed in, Angie thought she saw the place in question. "Ahhh, alrighty!" Flicking her ear in response to Catta's chittering, Angie headed off towards the cottage. Boy, she hoped Sayuri didn't think her scatterbrained, though such an assumption would be quite the truth. She chuckled softly to herself at that thought. Sayuri_Nitta Catta hung onto Angies ear as she moved, and Sayuri followed, watching the lemur babe like a hawk. She didnt want Catta to get caught up in Angie's hair. That would hurt. 'I wonder if anyone will be inside?' she wondered outloud as they tramped across the grass and between the trees towards the small building. TormentedAngie "I wonder who might be here. I never realized this was here before... Then too, I just moved in not that long ago..." Angie's musings were out loud, though she'd meant for it to be thoughts only. The clinging lemur was nearly forgotten as the wand resurfaced in her mind, all the questions and wonders she had about it still unanswered. Would this satyr in question be the one to answer them, or would she still be as clueless as ever? Sayuri_Nitta Catta groomed Angie's ear, chittering softly and ceaselessly as the two women walked along. 'I'm not sure. If it is the satyr - well maybe he can tell me something about Catta.' she said. TormentedAngie Angie nodded, unsure of what to make of this whole deal. The closer they came to this cottage, the more nervous she got. But why was that? Fear of the unknown, more than likely. Angie always did have a nervous streak when she was entering a situation she'd never been in before.
Reaching up, Angie remembered Catta once more, stroking the little girl as they walked. To hear the soft chittering in her ear helped calm the fox-girl, easing her anxiety. Sayuri_Nitta Sayuri stopped at the cottage door, listening for any sounds of movement before knocking on the wood. 'I hope someone is in.' she listened again waiting. Catta grabbed the stroking hand and checked that for a banana as well. TormentedAngie Unfortunately for Catta, Angie didn't have a banana. All she had was a shiny ring on her finger. Though, as curious as the little one seemed, that'd probably be just as interesting.
Angie stood back, allowing Sayuri to knock on the door. No reason for her to be close to the door when she wasn't the one knocking. "Yeah, hopefully we didn't catch whoever at a bad time..." Sayuri_Nitta (( Jaden is 'sposed to be coming in... *whistles and waits* hehe )) Catta turned the ring around, then tried to chew on it. Finding it non-tasty and hard she carried on twisting it, squeaking happily whenever the light caught it. TormentedAngie ((Yaaay!)) Angie chuckled at the antics of the little one. Of course, the ring wouldn't taste good. If anything, it probably faintly tasted of soap, as the fox-girl had gotten done with dishes not long before she headed off for a walk.
The ring, having 3 heart-shaped rubies inset in it, as well as a pair of tiny diamonds on either side of the hearts, sparkled and shimmered a deep pink in the sunlight. "Pretty isn't it? A special someone gave that ring to me..." Angie smiled, remembering days long past. Oh those were the days... Sayuri_Nitta 'A special someone? Are you no longer with that person?' Sayuri asked curiously. Then she looked apologetic. 'If its okay to ask about it of course.' Catta tapped the ring with the tip of finger, chattering to herself again. TormentedAngie "It's alright to ask, I don't mind." Angie smiled at Sayuri before glancing at the ring again. "I'm still with him, though he's far away right now. I keep holding onto the hope that he'll return to me someday. I know he will, just not sure when is all." Reaching up to scratch between Catta's ears, she looked back up towards the cottage door, her eyes sparkling as she thought upon her love.((Wow, someone opened the skies up... it was just sunny here...sort of... And now the downpour going on would make niagra falls jealous o.O Talk about a weather change O.o)) Sayuri_Nitta She nodded; 'Well I'm sure he will,' she smiled at Angie, and Catta stretched her back, arching it and making happy little noises. Sayuri looked at the cottage. 'Doesnt seem like anyones in, and I guess it would be rude to just enter.' she said. TormentedAngie "Mmm. I think you're right. I do wish we could've talked to someone, but everyone's so busy these days, it's quite understandable. It was more then worth the try though, right? For me, I got to meet you and this adorable little one..." Pausing only slightly in her words, Angie's fingertip poked Catta's nose gently. "So my walk was more eventful than I expected it to be!" Sayuri_Nitta Catta went cross-eyed as she tried to look at the finger poking her nose. She squeaked softly at it and grabbed it with a little hand. 'True,' Sayuri smiled. 'Catta does seem to have taken a shine to you. Or she thinks you taste nice..' she giggled. TormentedAngie Laughing, Angie couldn't help but shake her head at the little one. "I'm glad that she finds me enjoyable.... for whatever reasons. She's quite the character herself. You're quite lucky, Sayuri." Turning back towards the direction they came from, Angie tilted her head slightly. "You two are welcome to visit my home whenever you like. I don't often have visitors, at least, not that I know of..." Frowning a moment, the fox-girl thought about how much time she actually spent at home, and how many comes someone could've come over without her knowing. "As much as I'm out, my luck would be that everyone's given up coming over to see me, since I'm rarely home. But! You're still welcome to come by whenever you like. We'd love to have more people around." Sayuri_Nitta 'Well I'm sure we'll take you up on your offer sometime soon,' she held her hand out and Catta jumped along her arm to her shoulder. 'Its time for this little girls nap I think. It was very nice to meet you.' she smiled. TormentedAngie "Indeed.. it is getting kind of late in the day isn't it... And I do have some laundry to take care of..." Angie mused to herself before turning towards home. "It was definately a pleasure to meet you two. Have a safe trip home!" And with that, Angie bounded off towards her own house, having remembered some rather unpleasant housework that needed to be attended to.((Thank you Sayuri! *glomps* It was good to rp with you, maybe we can do it again soon!))

Sayuri_Nitta Sayuri pushed Catta away from her ear. The little lemur girl had a tendency to chew or poke them. Catta chattered in annoyance, clambering from her shoulder and onto Sayuri's head, getting tangled in her hair. 'Owww..' Sayuri complained, untangling Catta a little as hair started getting pulled from the roots. She walked towards the cottage she had visited before and was pleasantly surprised to hear voices. She hadnt spoken to anyone since meeting Angie and she walked towards the noise. Jaden Silvermoon Jaden 'tsked' softly, tilting his head as he looked to Antonio. "Not polite," he pointed out, motioning to Eileen. "If it weren't for her, you wouldn't exist little one. Show a bit of respect, hmm?" Getting to his feet, he turned towards the path once more, somehow just knowing that another was on her way. "I see we're having quite a few visitors today." Sayuri_Nitta 'Mother....puddle..' Sayuri amended as Catta tried to scalp her in her excitement to get down and greet the new people. She grabbed the squirming baby, and smiled at the woman with the child and her eyes rounded at the sight of the satyr. 'So you werent a dream,' she commented dryly. 'Hello.' Jaden Silvermoon Grinning, Jaden watched Catta even though he spoke to Sayuri. "Well, I've been called a dream before, but I doubt it's in the context you're speaking of..." with that, he leaned forward and caught up the lemur-girl, lifting her over his head to let her dangle from his horns. Sayuri_Nitta Catta made her chirping noises of joy as she swung from the horns, little paws clinging to the hard, branch-like horns, her long, fuzzy tail out behind her as a counter balance. 'No more like a 'What did I smoke' that night feeling. But I'm glad you are real. Maybe you can explain where Catta came from?' Sayuri laughed at Catta. 'You wont find anything edible up there..' The lemur-babe trilled a noise, continuing to search for the fruit which must be on this strange tree - it was here.. Jaden Silvermoon "Catta..." he started to explain, wincing when she caught hold of an ear instead of a horn. "Came from the same place I did." He looked down to the dark-skinned boy once more. "And where Antonio came from as well. Arcadia." As if that answered everything, he turned his attention back to the children, dropping down to sit cross-legged in the grass. Sayuri_Nitta Catta swung a little, moving as Jaden did, and she scurried down him when he sat on the ground, chattering away to herself and peering at the other boy. 'But why did she get left with me? Does she have parents?' Sayuri persisted. Jaden Silvermoon "Yes," Jaden answered, smiling to them both as he leaned his elbows on his knees. "As did all of us. However, Arcadia is changing... our kind won't survive much longer unless we adapt to THIS world and the new ways that are driving out the old. If we'd stayed there, we'd likely have not survived past a few more generations. This way, we'll live on, adjusted to live here." Sayuri_Nitta Sayuri nodded, twisting a strand of hair around a finger as she listened; 'So what exactly is she? I mean, you..Arcadians for lack of a better word, are known as what?' Catta rolled around in the grass, coiling up in her tail and peering at Jaden through a gap in her fur. Jaden Silvermoon "Faeries," Jaden answered simply, grinning and giving a poke at the fluffed tail. "Catta is a Pooka... a fey kith that can take the form of animals, and generally keeps the animalistic tendencies even in their normal form. Antonio here is a Sidhe... sometimes referred to as the 'aristocracy' of the Fey." He looked up then, tail buzzing back and forth in the grass as he grinned. "You can guess what I am, right?" ((I'm gonna have to go REAL soon here. It's 6:30am and I haven't been to bed yet.)) Sayuri_Nitta Wow..well she hadnt expected that answer; 'A faerie?' she echoed. 'Uh..yes,' Sayuri said, trying to assemble her thoughts. 'You are a Satyr.' Catta uncoiled her tail and squeaked in protest, creeping closer to Jaden before scuttling back to Sayuri and hitching a lift on her leg. (( ok hun - silly person =P )) Jaden Silvermoon Jaden leaned forward, tickling Catta's back before getting to his feet and stretching. "I do apologize for my abrupt departure... but I do believe there are other guardians I need to confuse. Good day!" With a flourished bow and a grin, the satyr vanished completely, leaving only a pair of hoofprints in the grass. ((*PASSES OUT*)) Sayuri_Nitta (( *laughs* go to bed you banana XD )) Sayuri laughed, blinking as the Satyr disappeared - Catta chittered as he did that, twisting her head around before running up Sayuri's leg and perching on her shoulder. 'Well, I think I need to go home and wibble for a year..' she laughed, before walking off. (( sorry Eileen if you are still around but I wanted to play some online gamezzz now hehe ))

Time had passed since Sayuri had been told what Catta really was; not just a ring-tailed lemur which she had kind of guessed anyways. Things were peaceful, Catta was to be found up trees through most of the daylight hours, especially after Sayuri adopted a Fourth Waller child which Catta wasnt too happy about. The Fennec fox that Sayuri had named Aini was a whiny little thing and took alot of Sayuri's time even though she was trying hard to divide herself equally between the two of them. But Catta seemed happy enough, a banana and a tree seemed to be enough to keep her content.
Sayuri often wondered if Catta would ever grow bigger then she was. She was eating well enough to be sure but still looked the same small bundle of fur that she was when she arrived. Sayuri only became worried when Aini grew only a month or so after Sayuri had adopted her. But who would she ask? Maybe if she could get hold of that Satyr again he would be able to explain why Catta hadnt grown...

Sayuri hummed as she carried folded and ironed clothes to Catta's room. They were only little onesies, as Catta was still so small. Sayuri gave a sigh as she walked along the long corridor, branched off with sliding paper doors that led to other rooms. What was she doing wrong that Catta wasnt growing? The lemur pooka had been with Sayuri for months now, and even Aini had grown in that time.
'Good morning sunshine,' she called as she slid open the door to Catta's room.
'Ning!' came a call in the gloom for the window shutters were still closed.
'Who is there?' she called, flicking on a lamp and she was pounced on by a small furry body. She shrieked, then realised who it was as she held the creature out in front of her.
'Oh..my..goodness,' she mumbled.
'You've grown!' she hugged the pooka girl to her, running her hands over her head and tickling the ears which had become larger and fluffier. Catta's tail had lengthened, and become fuller, and she felt heavier in Sayuri's arms. She was still very affectionate though, and she nestled into Sayuri, laying against her chest and listening to Sayuri's heart. Catta wriggled, tapping Sayuri's kimono with her little fingers, tracing the patterning on the silk.
'Well my big girl, lets get you some breakfast and then I think we need to go clothes shopping.' Sayuri smiled, carrying her from the room.
'Nana?' asked Catta.
'Yes you can have your morning banana,' Sayuri chuckled. It would seem that Catta's vocabulary was expanding already, which was good to know as squeaks and high pitched barking really didnt convey alot. She was very happy that Catta had grown, and she hoped that it would clear the air as far as Aini was concerned as the lemur pooka had seemed jealous when the fennec fox babe had sprouted before she. Sayuri got Catta set up with a banana and juice drink before going to wake Aini, so that she could have her breakfast of cereal and mealworms, and then they would all go out to the shops.
