There was a small kid, hobbling in front of the Coffe shop window. He seemed like a goat, white fur, blue eyes, short horns about as long as an inch, and a snout from which two fangs protruded from the upper lip.
On his head were two long and floppy ears. He wore child-sized clothing, a T-shirt and Jeans, but no shoes. Instead of human feet, he had paws, with three toes and claws at the end of each paw. He also had claws on his hands at the tip of each finger, and paw pads on the palms of his hands and undersides of the tips of her fingers.
On his neck was a designation, A-007, and he was fiddling with a small pocket knife. What made him slowly hobble was the fact that occasionally he'd grasp his side and make a pained face.

Chase looked at the kid, "Huh?"
-
He didn't hear, being outside. However, he did stop because he was deciding between the ice cream shop or the coffee shop
-
Chase decided to wave, to be friendly.
-
The man's gear and weapon made the kid go pale. Didn't sit well with him
-
Chase only had his sniper rifle on his back. Otherwise, didn't seem so scary.
-
The weapon scared him enough. He definately would need convincing otherwise.
-
Chase sighed. "Puma. You can transmat the weapon away," Chase spoke to his Ghost. The sniper rifle was gone in seconds.
-
He looked at him, shyly
-
"Hmph," Chase turned the other cheek.
-
He entered the shop, standing a distance away
-
He decided to be friendly, "I won't hurt you..."
-
"P-Promise?"
-
"I promise you," Chase replied. He gestured for the goat-kid to come and sit across from him.
-
He did, a little nervously "S-So..what are you? Who are you?"
-
"My name is Chase Mantz. I'm a guardian," he attempted to explain.
-
"What's that?" He asked, curious
-
"I protect civilizations," Chase summarized, "So, yeah. Sorry about having my rifle out earlier. I forget that stuff scares people."
-
"You protect people?.........That's what they said, too. They hurt me a lot." He said quietly
-
"Who hurt you?" Chase asked, concerned.
-
"The people who did this to me." He said, quietly
-
"Who did that to you?" Chase asked, calmly.
-
"doctors and soldiers...."
-
"Soldiers...." Chase seemed to be caught by the boy's words. He sighed. "I'm not the same soldiers as them."
-
"I-I hope you aren't"
-
"So.... what's your name?" He asked. He took a sip of the iced coffee.
