" If you continue at that pace"
Hands tight in fists, lying in my coat pockets fighting for warmth. I could feel the cold crystal air flow through my lungs and back into the pure air. Taking each breath one after another, calmly waiting for the warmth of the shop. Only a few steps away until I met the shops gates. Walking through the wood doors I took a realization of how it looked much more comfortable than in my mind. Although chains held slaves from being free, they seemed to take a good amount of care for their slaves they were to sell. Lanterns filled the rooms, leaving a soft warm aura, but whimpering and moans fighting back that aura and restlessly trying to starve for attention.
Walking through the hay filled halls - the bedding for the slaves - I happened upon a different energy. The neko gave of a sad aura but looked as though it were a hyper one. Kneeling down I placed my hand up against the wood bars that prisoned the sorrowful slaves. " Hello, I'm Akihiro" I smiled gently, showing that I would show no harm to the neko.
Looking up at the sign to the left that said the nekos name I simply said nicely, " and you must be Machiko" my voice soft and mannered I made sure not to frighten the boy. " let's talk for a while" hoping to get to know the boy a little and figure out how he acts and with his personality. " I'll start" I smiled. " - what are three things you like?"
" soon enough you're bound to arrive at your destination."
