There Will Be An End

[Ricia]

She seem to unfreeze when Mousey threw the blanket over her. She moved to untangle herself, but she was so nerved she just fell over and tripped. When she pulled the blanket off over her head, she looked back at Mousey again as he pulled out food.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Cover up you'll catch the chill," the elf told her bringing her the plate she was kind of cute acting kjust like a cat he had to stop himself from laughing at her.

 

[Ricia]

She was still in shock that she actually did what he told her to, putting the blanket over her shoulder. "Uh.." She said finally speaking. What did you even say in this situation?

 

[InsaneTruth]

he sat back down crosslegged "Eat, I don;t got poison in it," Mousey said then he leaned back and almost plopped onto his makeshift bed.

 

[Ricia]

"Thank you..." She said finding her voice. With that, she turned to eat rather hardily. She more like scarfed down the food.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Mousey waited rubbing his eyes he really did not like the process of waking up it was so tedious.

 

[Ricia]

She finished what he gave her in no time flat, then let out a content sigh. Almost forgotten where she was at. "I... wasn't gonna take it all.. just a few silver.."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Don't got any," Mousey said "Told ya I was a street rat too, takes all I got to keep this place." he said with a sigh "Stay and rest it's not much but its warmer then outside," he was trusting her to sleep in here only because he knew she was telling the truth and was unlikely to kill him asleep or otherwise.

 

[Ricia]

He was right, she was not out to harm anyone. Just looking to secure tomorrow's meal like any child on the street. "Your not some weird-o who puts lil kids in cages and pokes them with sticks?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Nah, fresh out of sticks and cages," Mousey yawned. "I just want to sleep without some kid breaking into my stuff,"

 

[Ricia]

Her ears dropped, she obviously felt some kind of bad after the statement, specially since he just feed her.... and now letting her stay. "I'll be quite."

 

[InsaneTruth]

He waved her off and curled up "Just sleep kid, names Mousey by the way Dark Mousey," he introduced himself eyes closed.

 

[Ricia]

"Miuccia..." She said wrapping the blanket around her more. She closed her eyes as well, but she was half expecting to be kicked out or attacked.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Mousey just fell back to his fitful sleeping. He muttered in his sleep as if his visions didn't stop even when his mind and eyes were resting. In reality his mind was showing him all the visions of the day again running through them like a slideshow.

 

[Ricia]

Miuccia closed her eyes and curled into a corner of her own. Mousey's muttering had her on edge... but she found sleep a bit easier then normal since she was the warmest she had been all winter.


She was woken late by a knock some time in the morning. A voice called through the door.


"Really, are you still asleep at this hour?" It was Axesort. He had just returned from the city. He just rode through the night instead of stopping. He even decided to keep the horse... if not to eat if the winter got bad.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I'M UP,'' he called sitting up before hopping to his feet and running to the door undoing both the bolt lock and the normal lock ''Had a visitor last is all,'' he told tje dragon in elven form. ''come on in, gixie come help me set up since yah slept here all night,''


Star looked at Ashur Mousey was such an odd elf.

 

[Ricia]

"A visitor.." Axesort said with a bit of though as Mousey let him in. He had with him the usual warm meal.


Miuccia rubbed her eyes before getting up, not 100% sure if Mousey was talking to her. "What do I do..?" She asked sleepily.


Axesort saw the little ears pop up on the other side of the counter.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"yeah this gixie broke in so I fed her,'' the elf laughed "guess that sounds a bit odd, you can start by helping me eat a bit,'' he told the neko. It was obvious he was taking pity on the child. "Ashur this is ... I was asleep when you said your name,'' he admitted

 

[Ricia]

"You want me to feed you?" Miuccia asked. Her face squashed together in confusion when he said he wanted help eating.


Axesort raised an eyebrow as Mousey talked about the little girl. Usually his first response was to eat intruders... not feed them.


"You are dirt poor and have a bag visiting your shop.." Miuccia said when Mousy introduced him.


"Right... Starbright.. go buy another meal." Axesort said, handing down a silver to her.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Ok," Star told Axesort and dashed of to get one.


"Yah didn't have ta but thanks," Mousey told Axesort. "you be nice. Lord Ashur is a new ... acquaintance of mine, he's a good man so mind your manners," he chatised the girl "He brings me hot meals when he visits, now sit and eat," the elf ordered the Neko.


"I couldn't put myself to turning her in Ashur... look at her she's as defencless as a house kitten. She can't survive on the streets with nothing but her wit,"

 

[Ricia]

Miuccia sat when Mousey told her too and took the meal he pretty much handed her. She ate it happily though.


Axesort scratched his head slowly, taking in Mousey's words. Really... Starbright needed someone to entertain her. He seemed to shake his head a bit. Suddenly thinking to bring in another child. What was he? A baby sitter? Then again...


He sighed again, "Really, you sound compassionate about it." That was the least he could say. Mousey was more rambling than actually coming up with a plan... but the guy bare afforded to take care of himself.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Mousey smiled "I was a street rat, I know how hard the streets are," he told Axesort "Kids got it rougher, I might not be able to offer more then a roof but its more then she had," Mousey sighed he had no meens of his own he rubbed his head.

 

[Ricia]

Axesort sighed, "Well... Starbright needs someone to play with. Since I just lay around the caves all day. I'll pick up some extra fur and cloths before going home."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"You... want to take her in?" Mousey asked a bit skeptic he was willing to take in a street rat who didn't even know he was a dragon just because Starbright needed a friend? The elf was in disbelief he saw no lie in the words and in his shock he just sat down where he had been standing "Wow..."

 

[Ricia]

Axesort watched Mousey. He had nothing better to do with his time right now.... In fact time was all he had... on top of that, he had other ideas. His talk with Soki was very enlightening about Starbright... and perhaps...


"What is your name child?" Axesort asked.


"Miuccia..." She said, only been vaguely listening.


"What do you think of dragons?" Axesort asked her.


"Whats a dragon?" Miuccia asked before taking another bit.


Axesort raised an eye brow and looked to Mousey.
