[b]The two seem thoroughly confused, but still flinch a lot none the same. They look as if they are terrified of him, like he'd hurt them, or something similar.[/b] "H-Hi." [b]One of them speaks. They have a feminine voice, which is very shaky, and laced with fear.[/b]
-
*i tilt my head, looking a little sad and confused* why're you scared of me? I have no reason to do anyone any harm right now, especially you, since we've only just met.
-
"Th-That's what they said too. And they still beat us and burnt us and mocked us and called us names! How are we not to know you won't rat us out?"
-
For starters, i cant burn. Secondly, im not very strong and my punches feel like a gentle breeze. Thirdly, i dont work for anyone and i have no way of ratting anyone out to anyone. If someone tried using me to get information or to get someone else, all they would get is a blank stare. I dont do betrayal. *looks generally unthreatening, only standing 4ft tall and only wearing tattered brown cotton shorts*
-
"How would we know that? You have no way of proving it!" [b]She was practically yelling at this point, but quickly quieted down. She grimaces, and puts her hands in front of her face.[/b] "Please don't hit me..."
-
*is slightly even more saddened* I wouldnt dare, why do you assume i would do that? *remembers feeling fear like she was at the moment and is sympathetic*
-
"It's what they did if we yelled at them..."
-
Well... i'm not 'them'.. right? *is trying to use a calm and friendly voice*
-
[b]That calm and friendly voice only serves to make her even more scared.[/b] "That's what the last people that we tried to get to help us said too! And they were in kahoots with them!"
-
*stops talking and is beginning to feel like a failure* b-but.. i.. im not.. *takes a step back, eyes slightly watery*
-
"We can't tell if you are... I'd like to be able to trust someone, but it's not easy..."
-
*wipes my eyes with my hand-paw, revealing the pink paw pad on my palm and fingertips (where a human's fingerprint would be)* I *sniffle* know the feeling...
-
"Me and my brother, we've been on the run too long... We just want to be safe..."
-
*sniffles* This might be the safest place i know, besides The Tower, but that's far from here. I only just arrived a few days ago. Before then.. well... i dont remember much, but what i do remember... *shivers* It was so cold...
-
"It's so cold here for us... How do you people live like this?"
-
Well, im covered in all this fur that keeps me warm.. I guess everyone else is used to it. *notices the gate is closed* Would you like to come in? Its warmer in here than out there.
-
"Y-Yeah. We'd like that."
-
*gently taps the bar of the gate with my foot-paw and it slowly opens* The Dojo has temperature conditioning on the inside so its warmer in here than out there. *is back to looking somewhat cheerful*
-
"Oh thank the Sun. I thought we were going to freeze to death." [b]They both walk in, the brother walking off to the right.[/b]
-
*the gate closes once youre in, returning the temperature to something that keeps everyone cozy* Im glad i could help.
-
[b]Well, not cozy for them, exactly. Cozy for them would be close to 100 degrees. So they'll just have to settle for not freezing.[/b] "Th-Thank you."
-
I do what i can. *nods my head* If you ever need something warm and fluffy, im your fox.
-
"Heh. I think my coat has that covered, but I'll keep it in mind."
-
Just to be clear, i meant that as in i work great as a natural heater ALIVE. sorry if you meant well. Ive had to deal with fur poachers before and it wasnt a nice day for anyone...
-
"I meant it as you being alive. What reason would I have to kill anyone here?"
