Oh ? Well..greetings there. Who are you ? [Her eyes casually took the male in before shifting away].
*startled when suddenly spoken to* O-Oh…Good day, ma’am…*bows slightly* I’m-…um…I’m not quite sure. My name is Alistair….
[She arches a slender brow and looks back to him. He seemed to be a nervous type..and no matter her mood, it wouldn’t do good to be rough with him. In any case, she was much better than yesterday. So there was no harm in at least..trying to be civil. Her heart did tug slightly at his shyness but it was that kind of crap she was trying to stop. So with holding her distant expression, she spoke]. You can relax. I am not going to bite you dear. My name is Mari, it is a pleasure to meet you Alistair. That is a lovely name.
Thank you…*He straightened up a little in posture, tugging his worn trenchcoat over his slender body. He wouldn’t want a lady to see his tattered clothes beneath* Nice to meet you, Ms. Mari. *His lips tugged into a tiny smile that brightened his tired expression. Though, his pale blue eyes seemed blank no matter what expression he attempted*[Mari notices the action and this time, pays more attention to his clothing and then his face. Her eyebrows knits together as she examines him.] Alistair..is everything alright ? Also, where do you live ? [Her eyes softens a tad and she sighs softly.]
*With Marii realizing his pitiful physical state, he folded arms over his abdomen in a shielding gesture* I suppose not…*he mumbled quietly* I don’t know where I live…
[Pursuing her lips, she makes a decision there and then. Standing, she brushes her clothes before approaching him.] Well this would /not/ do. Come with me. We will work this out. [Why she was doing this, she did not know..but he looked like just a kid and he didn’t look very well. She wasn’t just going to leave him out on the streets.] Follow me, please.
E-Eh?! *Ali blinked, mouth parted in surprise before swallowed a lump in his throat* But…I don’t want to trouble you…*he mumbled and shook his head, feeling guilty* I’m fine..I can handle myself!If you were troubling me, I wouldn’t have bothered and suggested it. Now come on. Hn. We will pass by my house first to deal with your clothes and the issue of food….Hn. You say you cannot remember where you live..by chance..do you have any idea what you are ? You’re not human that’s for sure. [Steeling herself against the touch ; she went to wrap her fingers around his hand and pull him lightly. It was a new and strict rule, that she gave herself to not let anyone touch her and resist from doing the same to others. Keeping that distance, she hoped in the long-term it will keep her from repeating her mistakes again and again with people.]
I-Bu-*Ali toddled after the woman with faltering strides. He hadn’t felt cared for in so long, maybe it was just because of his memory but, the hollow feeling in his heart made everything alien to him. At the mention of ”not being human”, Ali stiffened* I-…I know…what I am…at least, I think I do. *He let one of his small yet defined fangs show whilst he spoke then pursed his lips* Please, you’ll only get into trouble if you help me…I don’t want anyone else to get hurt for my sake…please.[Mari almost snorts derisively, her eyes focusing ahead as she maneuvers with Alistair , her hand keeping a firm grip on his own, as to not lose him in the crowds]. Don’t worry about it. I am more than capable of defending myself, should danger decide to present itself. In fact, it will be a welcome. Hmm. A vampire of sorts but not quite. Half human, half vampire. Hn. I will look after you until your memory returns. During that time, you will have a place to stay, food and clean clothes. So don’t worry Alistair.
I-I don’t doubt that…*Ali could tell from the strong grip that Mari was capable and he sighed, his mind was too tired to argue back. He was hopelessly lost by himself. The tiny fragments he still had from his memories were vague and felt like puzzle pieces that were discarded in the wrong place or fitted with the wrong piece.* Um…Mari…? Th-…Thank you….
