Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rose sits in a spacious cage, she just looks down nervously and straightens out her skirt. She's nervous about who will be the one to take her home, she hopes they are kind and patient with her. Her heart flutters every time she hears the bell, which indicates a new master has entered the room.

Near the entrance of the shop was a black, roomy cage. Regardless of it's dark image, the red, glowing symbols engraved into the metal attracted many customers before. When they learn about what it is, they tend to stay away though. But what do you expect? This neko was a potentially dangerous pet to own and it was hard to sell such things. He never lashed out nor did he ever speak rudely towards those interested. They would simply hear what he was capable of and go on to the next one. It seemed like the rich people coming in were more into cute, fun slaves rather than protective and loyal ones.

Solo sat lazily in the corner of his dark cage, leaning back onto the cold bars and he peered out towards everyone with his crimson eyes. He didn't really speak to the other slaves unless they did first so he was silent as a mouse as he scanned the area. It wasn't very busy today so he wasn't very motivated to stand up and try to introduce himself. Instead, he was taking it easy for the day. His black hood hid most of his face as he started to doze off a little from pure boredom, his cat-like tail, slowly flicking back and forth on the cage floor. He only hoped someone would at least acknowledge him soon........

No harm shall come to you My Lady.

After a few hours of boredom and silence, another potential customer would enter the establishment. He would only glance at her for a moment to see who she was, but most of her face was hidden by a large hat and sun glasses. She would start to scan the place, walking by all of the cute and sweet pets first. He figured that they would win her affection far before she arrived to his cage so his eyes went forward again, starting to doze off. But of course, as she came to his holding cell, his red gaze would scan her over.

Once she finally spoke, the neko looked up a little to show his face. He looked to be about 18 years old due to his fair, light skin. His tail would stop swaying as he watched the girl look him over. After a moment of silence though, he would help himself up and head for the door to his cage. Hands in his pockets, he would bow lightly as he spoke. "Good afternoon My Lady. How may I help you?" Regardless of his dark and brooding appearance, he sounded very polite. It was no surprise since he had been a slave for almost all of his life. He was bound to learn some manners along the way. His posture was very relaxed though, giving more of a 'laid back' feel rather than a 'gentleman' aura.

No harm shall come to you My Lady.

The neko peered down as the young lady extended her hand into the cage. After introducing herself as Alice, he figured that she wanted him to take her hand. It had been some time since someone had even come near the cage, let alone reach into it. His right hand came up and grabbed hers gently, making it rise higher. He would bow down a bit and give the top of it a small kiss before looking back up at her, letting her extension go. "I am Solo. A pleasure to meet you Lady Alice. Are you looking for a pet this evening?" He would take another step closer, trying to seem more friendly by being eager to be close. It would be nice to finally be adopted into a home. He grew so tired of this place.

No harm shall come to you My Lady.

"It would be an honor, My Lady," Solo replied, he finally putting on a weak smile in appreciation. He wasn't sure what he was getting himself into honestly. She seemed harmless enough but what would she use him for? Her play thing? Her body guard? Perhaps a butler of sorts? Well no matter, he figured it was better than hanging around there for the rest of his days. His crimson glare would dart to the side as he explained how to purchase him, his eyes glued to one of the nearby clerks. "All you need to do is talk to that man over there. He should have the keys to the cages. Then I'm all yours, Mistress."

No harm shall come to you My Lady.

Solo looked down at the key to his freedom once it was placed in his hand. He saw the symbolism in it and accepted it, nodding as he threaded his hand through the bars and onto the other side of the door. With a flick of his wrist, the door unlocked with a loud clicking sound. The red symbols surrounding his cage would vanish soon after as the door slowly swung open. It had been some time, but the neko was finally free to walk about. In a way.

The newly bought pet would step out and the atmosphere around him quickly changed. Though his posture and attitude stayed intact, his body soon gave out some sort of...... dark feeling. As if his very presence was evil in nature. However, as he spoke to his new mistress, his voice was warm and kind like before. "Thank you for letting me out of there Mistress. My body and soul now belong to you. By your leave then......" He would stand there patiently as he awaited to be led out of this place, happy to be able to leave. It will be nice to set foot outside again, it being months since he has seen the outside world.

No harm shall come to you My Lady.
