[b]Scars Remain...[/b]
[i]Somewhere in the dojo, thirty minutes after Kari was....killed.[/i]
Mari was hiding behind some crates and a wall, terrified, wrapped in a blanket. She hadn't cried out of fear someone would find her and kill her. That's all anyone ever did to her kind..her family..Regardless where she would go, someone would always seek to kill her and make her a hunting trophy. She had learned this the hard way when she watched her mom get shot right in front of her, her father soon to follow. Kari had taken care of their family since then, up until her little brother and sister were killed in the invasion, along with her grandmother. Kari and Mari had come to the Dojo seeking shelter, and instead Kari was dead, at the hands of some foul being. So she sat there, hiding, shaking, cold, afraid.

-
Her expression didnt change as she eyed it curiously.
-
*She motions for Mari to sit down as she lifts up a spoonful and eats it.*
-
Mari mimics her, spilling some.
-
*Her ears tilt back.* [u]Have you never used a spoon?[/u]
-
She shrugs.
-
[u]Well, basically you use it like a... A... A little shovel, and scoop up the things floating in the milk so you can eat them.[/u]
-
She nods, trying again but still spilling some.
-
[u]Hmm...[/u] *She scoops up some of her own cereal with her spoon and then holds it up for Mari.*
-
Mari eats off the spoon, chewing the rice crisps before swallowing.
-
*She smiles, scooping up some more cereal and holding it out for her.*
-
She giggles a little, repeating what she did before.
-
*She keeps feeding Mari cereal from her bowl until all that's left is milk.* [u]Are you full?[/u]
-
Mari shrugs. Cereal usually doesnt fill one up.

Edited by Skatch142: 12/31/2016 6:21:39 AM[u]What else would you like? Fruit? I can make a peanut butter sandwich.[/u] [spoiler]It does if you consume it in the immense quantities that I do.[/spoiler]
-
Her ears perk up once peanut butter is mentioned.
-
*She chuckles happily.* [u]I thought you might like that.[/u] *She goes to the kitchen and comes back a couple minutes later with a peanut butter sandwich. She sets it down in front of Mari, purring ever so quietly.* [u]Here you go varin.[/u] *She sat back down across from Mari, wondering why she just called her [i]varin[/i]. It slipped out, it was a Sphirinian term of endearment that her parents used quite often when she was little.*
-
She smiled, taking a bite out of the sandwich. It took her some time to eat but Sapphire could tell she loved it. Once she was finished, she stood up and walked over to her, hugging her tight.
-
*Sapphire hugs her back tightly, purring a little louder.*
-
Mari sighs shakily as she closes her eyes, a single tear dropping from them as she tried saying something. "th...tann...thhhann.....thhhannk y-you..." she said, struggling to pronounce the words.
-
*Sapphire holds her tighter, seeing Li'l S grow larger and write what she said on his chest..* [u]Y-You're welcome... Would you like to... Live with me?[/u]
-
She nodded, having nowhere else to live.
-
[u]I-I promise I'll t-take good care of you... Nothing w-will harm you...[/u]
-
She hugged a little tighter, another tear rolling down her face.
-
*Sapphire silently nuzzles her a little, trying to comfort her.*
-
She calms herself down, nuzzling her back. She keeps her eyes closed as she continues to hug her, happy to have somewhere to call home.
