 Leonardo Dean Jensen The young blue haired male looked like an average male, he had on a suit and fadora to conceal his hair. He entered the funeral and scanned the room before making his way to the casket where he bowed his head respectfully and lightly touched the wooden box silently promising he'd take care of the ladies grand daughter who was a young woman. Leo was a 24 year old male, he stood at about 6'2" and had encountered training due to many life's curve balls that were tossed his way, he didn't mind found it rather enticing and liked it. He walked over to a wall waiting to see what would come of this funeral, the grandmother seemed rather worried about her grand daughter especially since some people seemed to be spooking the grandmother, he knew she'd be safe at the funeral but after 'hey Blue...looks like a decent turn out' 'you spying violet...tsk' he mumbled under his breath as he glanced to the wall and returned looking around the room. Leo was talking to a program that he had fine tuned over the years, he met this program awhile ago on some freelance work he was doing and the two hit it off, plus with him tuning her up and shaving off the rough edges and bugs she became his 'baby' so to speak, the two were like pb and j which he didn't mind and neither did anyone else, she was a major system that controlled much but later was a program that had been forgotten and left to roam around not destroyed but not used which was almost as bad in some cases.

 Mildred's mind was in a haze. Ever since granny died, she couldn't seem to keep her head on straight. The only thought she could hold onto was that just last week her granny was happy and healthy. No one expected her death. She dreaded walking up to the casket. She absolutely did not want to see her granny with a blank expression on her face. She wanted to remember her granny happy and full of life. "Millie, aren't you going to pay your respects?" Asked her aunt. When Millie didn't respond, her aunt huffed and pushed her forward. She stumbled but managed to stay upright. Her stumble brought her to the attention of the whole room. She hunched her shoulders under the weight of so many expectant gazes and shuffled up to the coffin. When she laid her eyes on her granny, the sight made Millie choke on a sob. She quickly bowed her head and rushed back towards her aunt and out the doors. Once outside, she raced to get away from the stuffy room and the pushy relatives and most of all the smell of formaldehyde that was wafting off her dead granny. The stench lingered in her nose, and coupled with the overwhelming grief made Millie retch. Once done, she stumbled a few more steps into the outside gardens and collapsed onto a nearby bench. There her eyes began to blur, until she couldn't even make out her hands in her lap, and more importantly, her granny's favorite sweater. She lifted it to her nose and breathed in. It still held her granny's scent. It smelled of baked earth. The humble scent always made her feel safe and loved. For a minute, Millie forgot that Granny was dead and felt like she could look up and see her smiling and waving. When she did, she was not greeted by Granny, but by cold harsh reality, and she sobbed anew.

Leonardo Dean Jensen Leo noticed the granddaughter whom he was asked to look after, as Violet the purple program talked to Leo about the young female he followed making sure to be quiet and unseen. Leonardo made his way to the garden and noticed the girl Mildred crying so he walked over inhaling deeply as the small purple female talked to him through a piece in his ear, he cleared his throat to interrupt her and let out a sigh before pulling a cloth from his pocket and offering it to the female he heard was special to help the world get better "um, Mildred....here, your grandmother wouldn't want you crying when there's such a pretty garden and outfit on" he said softly with a faint smile knowing the program wouldn't let him forget his cheesieness as well as his move to be blunt about knowing her name as well as her grandmother "she spoke fondly of you and liked when you smiled" he added as he came a bit closer with a hand extended to hand her the handkerchief. While looking at the sobbing female he felt a bit uncomfortable since it wasn't his usual scene, his other hand lightly patted her beck to comfort her "she always wanted us to meet but...i doubt it would have been under such circumstances, i was..." he paused thinking of how to put the words so as to not scare her or cause her to grow upset more "we were close friends, she asked me to meet you and make sure you smiled as often as possible" he said telling her a little of what the old woman had said, he knew that he needed for her to trust him but knew he'd have to protect her even if she didn't.

Millie jumped when she heard her name. She looked up and saw someone she had never seen before. And he was handing her a hankie and talking about her grandmother. She politely took the hankie and wiped her eyes. "Thank you." She mumbled. "And thank you for your kind words. I don't believe I've had the pleasure. Whats your name?" She looked into the mans face for the first time, and was surprised. He was quite attractive. She remembered the compliment he payed her and blushed. Self conscious, she pushed her glasses up her nose and swiped some hair out of her face.

Leonardo Dean Jensen Leo looked at the girl who seemed displeased or uncomfortable with his knowledge about her "um...your grandma called me Lee most the time" he said finding it funny now "shall we get back inside or?... do you wanna grab some comfort foods?" he asked curiously as he looked at the girl adjusting her glasses taking in her form before hearing Violet mention some men in the vicinity making him clear his throat as he offered her a hand, sure he knew that they wouldn't try anything at the funeral but once she left it was a safe bet they'd try something or at least keep tabs on her "has your grandmother spoken to you about your family or anything?" he asked curiously. Leo tried to figure out how much she might know and how much he'd have to help her figure out but also wondered if she was aware she was special and was going to help be a major factor in setting the city right.

Millie blanched at the thought of going back inside. She felt like she was gonna be sick again. "No I don't want to go back inside. I don't ever want to go inside a funeral home again." She said with passion. She paused, "And while I appreciate your offer of comfort food, my stomach is upset, and the only thing I want is chamomile tea, and my sofa at home. You seem to know a lot about my grandmother, why don't you tag along? If you dont like tea, I make a mean cup of coffee." She said with a watery smile. She stood and fastened her grannies sweater about her shoulders. " To answer your question, my granny never told me much about my family, other then to ignore them. I'm the black sheep of the family you see." She motioned to her pitch black hair. "I'm the odd ball out. Everyone else has varying shades of blond hair. Granny always said it made me special." She smiled sadly remembering her granny's warm words. She turned to Lee, "So will you come along?"

quote="Citizen Kitten"]. Leonardo Dean Jensen Leo listened as she spoke then when she looked to him he nodded quickly "yes but...perhaps we should stay in the garden for a couple minutes more, i would feel a bit more at ease if we stayed here till you've heard... heard some important things your grandmother had discussed with me" he said to her softly then lightly touched her arm "you see Mildred, your family...well they're quite wrong about your status, you're not the black sheep but more" he paused for a moment "the powerful sheep, you hold a great power and because of this the people who have been running the world and most importantly the government wish for that knowledge to never get out that you can right the wrongs" he said to her trying to put it as lightly as he could while getting the point across as well as the importance "she asked me to look after you knowing once she was no longer able to protect you...the key to everything that you needed someone in your life to fill those shoes" he said softly. Leonardo heard Violet let out a sigh as if pleased by his words and let out a small groan to the program "look...if you need a little time fine, but i would feel better knowing either myself or Violet was with you at all times" he spoke again then heard the female program start to murmur in his ear causing him to smile faintly "here, take this" he said to Mildred handing her a watch from his pocket "think of it as a live saving annoyance" he said to her glancing at the little screen that lightly flashed purple "there's a few buttons on it that will be useful but V could probably be intrusive without you needing to push a thing.." he said to her fastening the device onto her wrist then realized he probably wasn't being as clear as he'd like "uh...about how much of this are you catching?" he asked curiously then wondered if he should tell her to forget it and he'd been watching to many movies, best case scenario he'd play dumb and have tea or worst case, she'd run off and Violet could explain things...possibly even show little doodle simulations or if he was lucky she had recorded his interactions with the girls grandmother.
