 Little Nizumi had scampered away from her parents -on the promise she'd be back before the sun even THOUGHT about going down- to explore the nearby city. Her golden eyes nearly bugged out as she took in the sights around her... So many things, colors, people, Zunes! Why hadn't she come here sooner?
The kit darted around the streets, giggling at everything. Human kits toddled by with their parents, some reaching out to pet her, and she couldn't resist bumping her head lightly against their little hands. Every time she turned around, it seemed, she'd find a human by a cart thing, with all sorts of different goodies. Some had shiny trinkets, some had yummy-smelling long meaty things, others had sugary treats! She didn't see very many kits without parents though... Making her feel all the more lucky to be out on her own!

It was the first time he had ever been in this city. The sun beat down on him and Preacher had stopped to rest from the long travel. From where he sat he watched all the families and smiled softly. "So many beings here."

After a while of wandering, Nizumi was starting to tire. The sun was quite hot and the metal on her paws was starting to hurt...
Finding her way to the city park, she cooled her paws in a small human-made pond. Gazing across the waters, she wished she had a toy duck to play with... Hmm...
Frowning, Nizumi pattered around the park until she found a small chunk of a branch. Using her teeth to nibble away carefully, the kit managed to produce a sort-of-duck-looking object. "Mm, would be easier if I could just use Alchemy..." Sighing and shaking her head, she trotted off back to the pond, unaware of anyone that might have heard her.

Of everyone there the male zune took interest in a younger girl. It was obvious she was alone and he couldn't help wonder where her parents were. From where he sat Preacher watched her work. "That is a very nice duck you made."

"EEEP!" She hadn't noticed the tall male Zune watching her, so when he spoke she nearly jumped from her skin. "Oh! Hi there!" Giggling, Nizumi batted the duck-thing out of the water to show the male better. "His name is Mort."

"Oh dear. I'm sorry little one. I didn't mean to scare you." Leaning down he smiled kindly, "Ah! That is a fine name for a duck. And you made this all on your own? "

"Yup!" She nodded excitedly, then frowned. "It'd look better if I could have used alchemy..." Shrugging, she plopped the wood chunk back in the water, playing some more and humming to herself.
((eh.... guess she's got a habit of being in her own little world!))

Quirking a brow, "Alchemy? I can't say I've ever heard of that." The male blinked for a moment. "Oh where is my manners. I am Brother Owens. But most just call me Preacher." He bowed his head.

"It's magic~" Nizumi replied, like it was the most normal thing in the world. Then she turned to look at the male when he called himself 'Brother'. She tilted her head right, then tilted her head left, then flipped upside-down eyeing him all the while. "You don't look like my brother. And I only have one, so you can't be another brother," She giggled. "Another brother, that rhymes!"

As she tilted her head Preacher blinked. Then when she rolled her he couldn't help but smile. But it was her words that brought a soft chuckle to his lips. "No. I am not your brother. It is a term given to one faith. I bring teachings of light and love. Of forgiveness." He sighed at the last word. Oh forgiveness. The thing he strove for most. With a slight gesture, "But you say magic. I can't say I myself have seen any. But I have heard that many miracles can be done by those that possess a great blessing."

Nizumi blinked several times -still upside-down-, first at the others chuckle, then the word 'faith', and again when he sighed. Why did he sigh? Was he sad? Why was he sad? "Who made you sad?" The kit seemed as if she didn't hear anything he said after the sighed word, just picked that to focus on. It was still bouncing in her head though... Miracles? Blessing? Just who the heck was this guy?

He watched her for a long moment then sat down in front of her, "It is a very long story. But in the end. I made myself sad. I've done things in the past I'm not proud of. And I myself am looking for forgiveness."

"Oh." Ok. She didn't really understand what could be that bad... "Like when I wander away without permission and Momma scolds me, then I say I'm sorry and she forgives me?" Maybe this Preacher guy wandered away from his momma and was too scared to go back and say sorry?
She flipped upright. "I can go with you!" Never mind the fact that no one but her had any flippin' clue what her thought process was.

"Unfortunately no. What I did was far wor..." As she asked to go with him Preacher only stared at her. "I appreciate the offer little one. But I dout your family would like you traveling the world with me looking for those in need to help."

The kits face fell, and her tail stopped wagging for a second. Sadly he was right. If his momma wasn't close by... then SHE'D get in trouble! Again!
Ok, so no world traveling.
Wait...
Her eyes bugged and suddenly one would swear steam was coming out of her ears. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING A TINY LITTLE RUNT?!?!?" Up on all fours, she glared at the meanie man. Just like her daddy, she hated being called little, and ended up putting words in the other's mouth when they did.
(( -facepalm- -_-' ))
