Kuan: -Runs off sobbing-

Kristen: *Blinks as she watches Kuan run by*

Kuan: -Rolls on the ground sobbing- I'm not a whore! I'm not a whore!

Kristen: ..... *Slowly raises a brow as she watches him, clears her throat*

Kuan: -Stops his crying and looks up at Kristen. Sniffles- Hello there Ms. Rainbow.

Kristen: Ms. Rainbow? *Slowly shakes her head* I am Kristen *Crouches down* May I ask what your name is?

Kuan: My name is Kaun-Yin..

Kristen: Why were you crying Kuan-Yin?

Kuan: You can just call me Kuan..or Yin. -Paws at the ground- Someone thinks I may be a prostitute..

Kristen: *Blinks slowly* But you are just a child

Kuan: -Fidgets- I want to be a Geisha when I am older.

Kristen: *Smiles a little* You look like you could play the part

Kuan: You think I am a bad person too? ;3;

Kristen: *Shakes her head* No *Reaches down to lightly tug on his kimono* I meant that you look like a Geisha. Your kimono is very pretty

Kuan: -Sniffles- You mean it?

Kristen: *Smiles* Yes, it suits you

Kuan: -Smiles- Thank you Kristen. Your clothes look nice too.

Kristen: Thank you Kuan *Slowly tilts her head* Where are your parents?

Kuan: -Ears drop as he frowns- ....I don't have parents...

Kristen: *Slowly frowns* But, who takes care of you then?

Kuan: No one. I live by myself.

Kristen: How sad...

Kuan: -Smiles a bit- It's okay! I've figured out how to take care of myself, and..I find out how to play by myself, so I'm fine, really!

Kristen: It must be lonely though

Kuan: ....Sometimes..

Kristen: ...What do you enjoy doing?

Kuan: I um.. I practice dancing and I..I think of poems. Sometimes I talk to myself.

Kristen: *Sits on her knees* I have a friend that dances, he's rather good when he's not falling on his face

Kuan: Really? That's nice. -Ears flick as he thinks- Do other Namrah not know their parents?

Kristen: *Nods slowly* There are many Namrah that do not know there parents

Kuan: -Nods as he listens- Sometimes I wonder what my parents might be like, and why they left me alone...I hope it wasn't cause they didn't want me...

Kristen: I am sure that is not the reason. Many kits simply get separated from their parents, and are sadly unable to reunite with them

Kuan: -Paws at the ground- What is it like having parents?

Kristen: I am not the best person to ask *Smiles sadly* I do not get to see much of my parents

Kuan: Oh. Alright then. From what I have seen though it looks like a wonderful thing.

Kristen: *Nods in agreement* I have to agree. It makes me wish that I had been closer to mine.

Kuan: I'm sure they still love you though. Parents are suppose to love and care for their kids right?

Kristen: I am sure they do as well, and I love them. But, I am not close to them. I could not tell you much of anything about them, what they like of dislike, etc.

Kuan: -Nods- Alright then. -Looks around and notices how dark it is- ..I should find my sleeping place for the night.

Kristen: *Blinks slowly* You do not have an actual building to stay in?

Kuan: -Blinks back- Building? What building? I sleep outside.

Kristen: But why? It is not safe

Kuan: Well...I have no where else to go. Like I said, I have no parents or anyone to take care of me. I don't have a home, or know anyone who can let me live with them.

Kristen: ..... *Frowns* Would you like one?

Kuan: -Ears perk- You know a place I can stay?

Kristen: You may stay with me if you wish

Kuan: R-really? You'll let me stay with you?

Kristen: *Nods* If you want to, yes

Kuan: I-I don't want to bother you or be a problem. Y-you don't have to let me live with you if you don't want to..

Kristen: It would be no problem. I would enjoy the company

Kuan: -Smiles- If you are okay with it, then... -nods- I'd like to have a home.

Kristen: *Smiles slowly* Alright *Climbs to her feet and brushes off her skirt* Follow me Kuan

Kuan: -Nods and more than happily follows after Kristen as he giggles-

Kristen: *Laughs softly while walking towards the main building* How long have you been around Kuan?

Kuan: Um.. -Sticks his tongue out and thinks- I think I hatched on Valentines day because I remember other Namrah going around giving out stuff and saying "Happy Valentines day"

Kristen: *Blinks in surprise* And you have been alone that long?

Kuan: -Slowly nods and looks up at Kristen- Yes, I have.

Kristen: *Frowns again, then steps up to the entrance of the main building. Holds open the door for Kuan* After you

Kuan: -Hesitantly crawls in to the building and looks around- Do you live here by yourself Kristen?

Kristen: No, there are many that live here

Kuan: Wow, it must be a lot of Namrah then...

Kristen: *Nods* It is *Walks to the guest room she stays in and holds open the door* In here is my room

Kuan: -Scampers on over and peeks in to the room. Looks back up at Kristen- Where will I be staying?

Kristen: The bed is big enough for both of us *Begins gathering her pjs* Tomorrow I will ask Riri for a bed or futon for you if you wish *Sets a large black t-shirt down in front of Kuan* You may change into this for bed if you wish. I will be right back *Slips into the bathroom*

Kuan: -Silently looks around the room for a moment and then starts to strip from his clothes, rolling and flopping a few times, to change in to the shirt Kristen set out.-

Kristen: *Comes back out a minute later wearing black PJ pants and a large white t-shirt* Are you ready for bed?

Kuan:Yes Kristen! -Sets his clothes to the side and trots over to the bed, tries to hop and scramble on-

Kristen: *Laughs softly, walks over to help him up before slipping under the covers herself* Good night Kuan

Kuan: -Smiles and curls up on the bed- Good night Kristen, and thank you.

Kristen: *Smiles* You are welcome Kuan

Kristen: *Picks up the pieces of paper and flushes them, then slips out to see what the hell is going on*

Riri: -Stumbles and waves at Kristen. Face plants on to the floor-

Kuan: -Blinks as he watches the Ishie paper. Carefully paws at some pieces-

Ishie Paper: *Bites at Kuan's paw*

Kristen: *Walks over to Riri* Are you alright Riri?

Riri: He's a stone cold fox! -Flails and twirls on the floor-

Kuan: -Yelps and shoots under the bed-

Kristen: What?

Ishie paper: *Cackles and bounces in circles*

Riri: Ishy! He has gone rogue!

Kuan: -Scoots deeper in the bed and watches in fear-

Kristen: So he is responsible for the little pieces of paper? *Steps on one as it hops by*

Ishie Paper: *Cackles and rolls under the bed after him*

Riri: Yes, yes he is!

Kuan: -Whimpers as he tries to escape from under the bed- KRISTEN!

Kristen: *Ears perk* Kuan? *Turns and heads back to the room*

Ishie Paper: *Chatters and bounces after Kuan*

Kuan: -Runs out crying and hides behind Kristen- Kristen, they are trying to hurt me! -points at the all paper-

Kristen: *Frowns at the pieces of paper* It is alright Kuan, I will take care of them *Steps on several of the pieces of paper*

Kuan: -Sniffles- Why are they so mean Kristen?

Kristen: Because Ishie is a jerk *Steps on the remaining pieces, then looks around for more. Crouches down by Kuan* Are you alright?

Kuan: -Pouts and nods- I'm fine, but they bit me...

Kristen: Where did they bite you?

Kuan: -Holds out his paw- They bit me here, Kristen.

Kristen: *Takes Kuan's paw and leans close to examine it* It looks like they did not break the skin, so you shall be fine Kuan *Smiles at him*

Kuan: -Smiles- Alright!..What do we do with the mean paper?

Kristen: *Lets go of Kuan's paw then gathers up some of the pieces of paper* We flush them down the toilet

Kuan: Will they be able to get out?

Kristen: No, they will not be able to get out *Heads into the room and to the bathroom once she's gathered up all the pieces of paper*

Kuan: Oh, alright. -Follows after Kristen and warily looks around for any more pieces of paper-

Kristen: I think we got them all...in here anyways. *Flushes the pieces of paper* I imagine there are more of them scattered throughout the house

Kuan: -Ears pin back- Really? I don't want to get bitten again!

Kristen: *Looks down at Kuan, then crouches down again* Come here

Kuan: -Scampers over to Kristen and looks up at her-

Kristen: *Picks Kuan up and stands* How is this? They can not reach you up here

Kuan: -Smiles and curls up in Kristen's arm- This is good!Thank you!

Kristen: *Smiles and cradles Kuan as she exits the bathroom* You are welcome Kuan. Is there anywhere that you would like to go?

Kuan: Anywhere is fine Kristen. -Wags his tail-

Kristen: Let us go see if those papers are causing chaos else where *Heads out to the hall*

Kuan: What happens if there are too many of them?

Kristen: Then we make a hasty retreat *Walks down the hall* I imagine I could out run them

Kuan: ..I hope so. You are very brave Kristen,

Kristen: Thank you Kuan *Looks into the game room*

Ishie Paper: *A bunch of papers are bouncing around and wooting*

Kuan: -Whispers- They are happy about something..

Kristen: So it would seem *Slowly tilts her head*

Ishie Paper: *As one, the papers turn to "stare" at Kristen and Kuan* Ohhhhh

Kuan: ....Should we run?

Kristen: *Shakes her head and slowly walks away*

Ishie Paper: *The paper go back to wooting and hopping around once Kristen and Kuan are out of sight*

Kuan: What are they happy about Kristen?

Kristen: I am not sure Kuan, it could be anything when it comes to Ishie

Kuan: Who is Ishy?

Kristen: He is my human...and someone that you should avoid

Kuan: Really? He is that bad?

Yarrow: *Smiles a little* Oh... *Pales when he remembers and stiffens* They were just joking, right?!

Kristen: Yes, he is. He enjoys torturing others

Kuan: Oh, alright then. I'll try my best.

Kristen: *Stops outside the kitchen, ears perking at the sound of stuff behind thrown around* ...Do you think we should look?

Kuan: -Looks around and slowly nods-

Kristen: *Slowly pushes open the door*

Ishie Paper: *Inside, hundreds of papers are having a little food war*

Kuan: Whoever clean that up...will not have a fun time...

Kristen: That will be me... *Winces when tomatoes begin flying*

Kuan: You clean this whole place?

Kristen: No *Smiles* My boyfriend Van is the main caretaker here. I only help out

Kuan: Van? have I seen him before?

Kristen: *Closes the kitchen door* You may have. He had dark skin, and black and red hair

Kuan: -Blinks as he tries to match someone to the description- I think I have seen him around here...

Kristen: But you have not met him?

Kuan: -Shakes his head- No, not yet.

Kristen: *Looks back at the kitchen door, then down at Kuan* Would you like to meet him?

Kuan: It guess it would be nice.

Kristen: *Walks away from the kitchen to search for Van* Hopefully he will keep you company as I clean...

Kuan: You think they will leave the kitchen?

Kristen: They may. If they do not, I will make them leave *Knocks on the door to Van's room*

Kuan: -Wiggles in Kristen's arms-

Van: Coming! -Sounds of tripping can be heard from behind the door. Opens the door- Hello Kristen. Who is this little guy?

Kristen: Hello Van *Smiles* This my friend Kuan-Yin. Kuan, this is Van

Kuan: -Waves shyly and mumbles a hello-

Van: -Smiles and gently pets Kuan- He's a cute little guy.

Kristen: *Nods* Yes, and my newest room mate *Gently hugs Kuan*

Kuan: -smiles and purrs.-

Van: New roommate?

Kristen: *Laughs softly at the purr* Yes, Kuan is staying with me in my room

Kristen: *Paws at Daveigh's door*

Daveigh: -Opens the door and stares down at Kristen. Smiles- Hey Kris.

Kristen: *Smiles slowly* Good afternoon Daveigh. Do you mind if I come in?

Daveigh: Oh, yeah. -steps out of the way- Come on in.

Kristen: *Slinks into Daveigh's room* I'm not interrupting anything, am I?

Daveigh: -Shakes head- No, I wasn't really doing anything.

Kristen: Would you mind if kept you company then?

Daveigh: Not at all. Make yourself comfortable.

Kristen: *Hops up onto Daveigh's bed* How have you been, since we last spoke?

Daveigh: I've been alright. Been hanging out with this new guy I met. You?

Kristen: I have been....Honestly, I have not been doing much at all *Slowly tilts her head* New guy? Have you made a new friend?

Daveigh: -Nods- Yeah, a guy named William. Kitsu hangs around, or used to hang around him.

Kristen: *Just barely twitches at the mention of Kitsu* I hope that his personality is better than hers

Daveigh: Oh, way..way...way better... He doesn't even like her, or acts like he doesn't, but he still tolerates her.

Kristen: He must have a remarkable amount of patience if he can tolerate her

Daveigh: Probably. So, why have you been well..not doing much?

Kristen: *Shrugs slowly* I am sorry to say that I think I'm becoming a bit of a loner

Daveigh: -Frowns- That's not a good thing. Why is that?

Kristen: I do not know. I just, no longer desire company as much as I used to

Daveigh: She may be your sister, but you shouldn't let something like that get to you.

Kristen: But it is not just her *Shakes head* I have come to realize I am not particularly close to any of my family. Or any Namrah outside of the ones who live here

Daveigh: Maybe..you should talk to someone like you? I know there are others whom keep to themselves a lot cause they have no one but themselves.

Kristen: Perhaps I will, if I ever work up the desire or the interest to meet new Namrah. Until then, I believe I am content with those I have here

Daveigh: -Nods- If that is how you feel then, I wish you luck in working your way through this.

Kristen: Thank you *Curls up, making herself at home on Daveigh's bed* So, any ladies, or men, catch your eye yet my friend?

Daveigh: -Shrugs- Not really. I guess I'm starting to get a thing for someone, but I'm still unsure about it and all.

Kristen: *Ears slightly perk in interest* Is it that fellow you were talking about before?

Daveigh: -Taps his desk-...Maybe, could be...yes..

Kristen: *Smiles slowly* How interesting. You will tell me if anything comes from it?

Daveigh: -Nods and smiles- Of soure I will. You're my friend. Why wouldn't I?

Kristen: *Shrugs slowly* Some like keeping things a secret. Believing theirs friends will gossip or something

Daveigh: Yeah, but I trust you won't do anything like that.

Kristen: *nods slowly* And I would not. So, he cute?

Daveigh: Well, to me he is. Not sure what others think.

Kristen: I believe that you must have good taste, so I will take your word for it

Daveigh: -Chuckles- Thanks. Anything happening in your love life?

Kristen: *Shakes head slowly* No

Daveigh: Well, what happened to that kid who has been following you around?

Kristen: He went home, thankfully

Daveigh: Ah, so he found his parents? Well that's good.

Kristen: *Nods slowly* It is very good. I am not yet ready to raise a child

Daveigh: Well, if he did end up staying, I'm sure you would have done a great job with him.

Kristen: Maybe. I am glad I will never find out though. *Shifts* Do you plan on having kids Daveigh?

Daveigh: I'm not all too sure. I have no problem with kids. If I have any then great, if not..still great. I'm fine either way.

Kristen: I am sure you would make an excellent fahter if you were to have children Daveigh

Daveigh: -Shakes his head- I don't know. My parents were.....ok I guess, so it makes me wonder how I would do, if ever.

Kristen: One should not compare themselves to their parents when thinking about being parents themselves.

Daveigh: I know, but, you know, certain traits can pass over.

Kristen: That is not a pleasing thought

Daveigh: No...no it is not..

Kristen: *Sighs* We need a sbject change. Is there anything you wish to talk about?

Daveigh: Hm..Valetines day is coming up.

Kristen: That is the holiday where one is supposed to give candies and various other romantic gifts to the one they like, correct?

Daveigh: -Nods- You are supposed to gift something to the person you like. Something small, or big. It can me material, words, actions. Just..something to make them realize you care.

Kristen: Will you be giving anything to your friend?

Daveigh: ..-thinks-..I'm not so sure..

Kristen: You will wait and see?

Daveigh: -Nods- Yeah. I suppose. What about you?

Kristen: *Blinks slowly* What about me?

Daveigh: You going to do anything? Spend it with a friend, gift something, lounge around?

Kristen: *Smiles a little* Perhaps I will spend it with you if things do not progress farther with your friend

Daveigh: -smiles back- Sure, I wouldn't mind that.

Kristen: Then that shall be my plan. *Stares off into space for a moment* I really should get him something though

Daveigh: Him who?

Kristen: ...Van

Daveigh: Oh, right.

Kristen: Does he likes flowers?

Daveigh: Well, I don't know of any problem he may have with them, so I'm sure he wouldn't mind.

Kristen: I shall leave him a flower then

Daveigh: I'm sure he'd like that.

Kristen: Perhaps *Closes her eyes* Where could I leave it for him to find it?

Daveigh: Um..maybe by his door or something?

Kristen: I can not leave it on the floor, it may get stepped on... *Frowns* Perhaps I should tape it to his door?

Daveigh: Hm, that might work. Ties a ribbon around it or something and stick it on the door.

Kristen: Do you know if he has a favorite color?

Daveigh: His favorite color? He likes blues.

Kristen: Dark or light?

Kristen: *Walking through the halls in her butterscotch summer dress that goes just a little past her knees, and white tights. Frowns a little as she wonders where her friend could be*

Daveigh: -Is standing outside the door of his room making sure he locked it properly since he doesn't want anyone to get in while he roams around the building-

Kristen: *Comes to a stop when she sees Daveigh standing outside his room. Silently walks over to join him*

Daveigh: -Pulls on the door knob a few times and then pockets his key. Is about to walk off, but spots Kristen out of the corner of his eye- Oh, hey there.

Kristen: Good evening *Slowly tilts her head* Have I caught you at a bad time?

Daveigh: -Shrugs- I don't think so. I would say this is the best I've been for a while now...

Kristen: *Ears drop a little* I have heard... *Looks at the door* I was not referring to your mood though as I was expecting it. I was referring to you locking up, I am wondering if you have a previous engagement that you are going to

Daveigh: -Shakes his head- No, I was just going to wander around the building since I've basically just locked myself up for a while.

Kristen: Would you like some company?

Daveigh: I guess that wouldn't be bad. Better than continuing to keep to myself.

Kristen: *Looks up and down the hall* What direction shall we go?

Daveigh: We could..head to the roof?

Kristen: *Nods slowly* Alright *Turns to start walking to the elevator at her usual slow and relaxed pace. Turns to make sure Daveigh is coming with her*

Daveigh: -Slides over and checks his door once more before following after Kristen- So, who told you what happened?

Kristen: Van told me... Are you worried about someone breaking into your room?

Daveigh: Oh, that makes sense then. You probably heard about Jazz to right? -shrugs- Well, you never know..it is Ri's place after all.

Kristen: *Nods slowly* How have you been handling it?

Daveigh: Like some kind of sick broken hearted pre-teen from a sappy tv show..

Kristen: *Pushes the button to call the elevator* I am sorry

Daveigh: It's alright. It's not your fault anyway. It just..didn't work out. I guess there really was no love or connection there.

Kristen: I am sorry that you got hurt *Slowly slides her gaze over to stare at Daveigh* You will find love Daveigh

Daveigh: -Keeps his own gaze on the floor and smiles sadly- People keep saying that. I keep telling myself that. I don't know how long I can keep telling myself that since it feels like a lie.

Kristen: *Reaches over to rest a hand on his arm* Some day you will find someone Daveigh. Someone that sees what I see, maybe even more, and realizes how special you are.

Daveigh: I don't know. I really doubt that right now. If this was baseball I'd be out of the game right now.

Kristen: *Steps into the elevator when it arrives* I thought that it was 3 strikes and you are out in baseball?

Daveigh: I did lose three times. I lost Kevin twice...

Kristen: *Blinks slowly* I had wondered if you had feelings for him *Tilts her head back and stares up at the ceiling of the elevator after hitting the button for the roof* But, in my mind, Kevin only counts as one strike since he is only one person. Besides, love is not baseball, it is much more difficult

Daveigh: Well baseball is more fun and less stressful when you strike out and give up..

Kristen: You are simply down for the count, I am certain that soon you will smack a *Face scrunches up* is it touchdown? Or homerun?

Daveigh: It's homerun. Touchdown is for football, Kristen.

Kristen: Oh... is that the one with all tackling? Or the one with the black and white ball?

Daveigh: -Blinks- It's the one with the tackling. The one with the black and white ball is Soccer, and in that you score a Goal.

Kristen: I see *Sighs and steps off the elevator when it arrives at the roof* There are so many different kinds of sports, I am not sure how anyone can keep up with them all

Daveigh: -Follows Kristen out and shrugs- There's Tennis, badminton, ping-pong, basketball, baseball, softball, racquetball, soccer, rugby, football, swimming, fencing, surfing, wakeboarding, track, ..a bunch more..

Kristen: *Walks over to the fencing on the roof and sits on it, her feet dangling over the edge* Such a long list *Tilts her head* Do you play any?

Daveigh: I used to play soccer for my high school. I don't really remember why though..maybe it was my parents.

Kristen: You did not enjoy playing?

Daveigh: Not really. I usually just played for fun.

Kristen: Were you any good?

Daveigh: I made the team, so I guess I was.

Kristen: Did you ever get hurt when playing?

Daveigh: It is basically a contact sport, so yeah. You get in to accidents, others trip you, you might smash heads, ect.

Kristen: *Winces* Sports always seem to sound vicious

Daveigh: I guess it is cause it is so competitive that you can't avoid it either way.

Kristen: I see
