Kenzy Jane walked silently along the path her gaze drifting from store to store. Curse her failed memory, why couldn't she remember where she was! She knew why.. at least she thought she did. It didn't matter, she turned into a shoe store her gaze shifting along the many many shoes. She wasn't a Suval, no just a simple Were Creature but she had the memory of a suval. Come tomorrow morning, she'd only remember parts of today.
Kenzy's hand slowly traced along the shoes on the wall. Her eyes stopped on pink pair of ballet flats. She bit her lip faintly and slipped one on testing the size. Satisfied that it fit she put it back then carefully shifted her way to the resister, the man was to busy reading something with a naked lady on the front to notice the child. Silently she grabbed a plastic bag then went back to the shoes and shoved them in. A smile crept across her lips and she skipped happily out of the store.

Abyss trotted slowly through the mall, obscured by a wall of thick mist. He hoped that the mist would allow him to go unseen, if not unnoticed, but wasn't very optimistic. It was a given, of course, that someone would notice the mist, but he doubted that there were many people who would venture into it. <It's times like this where an Announcer would come in mighty handy...>, he thought to himself, shrugging. Abyss continued to walk around the mall, kinda wishing he had a human form. As he walked, he saw a girl skip out of a store with a plastic bag. <Girls and their shoes... Something I'll never understand...>, Abyss thought to himself, shaking his head.

In her bliss she forgot to account for other people.. or massive amounts of fog which at the time of entering hadn't crossed her mind. Within only a few moments of leaving the store she found herself running into something. " owie.." she said softly as she took a step back rubbing her forehead " S-sorry" she mumbled faintly her gaze slowly shifting up to the man standing before her. He wasn't human...that was for sure. She took another step her eyes fluxing between scared curious and unsure. She wasn't honestly sure how to react to this strange man before her, even less sure if he knew she had stolen the shoes. She bit her lip faintly and took another half step back, managing to trip over her own feet she found herself on the floor. A soft sniffle passed her lips. Before she even had time to look back up at the man she was crying.

Abyss sighed. "What a pain... The first girl that wanders into my mist ends up crying...", he sighed, trotting over to her and offering his hand to the girl. "You should pay more attention to where you're going. You might run into someone less laid-back than me... And, believe me, that can be a real drag.", he said, his face expressionless as usual. Abyss looked the girl over. She seemed cute, in the typical little kid way, despite also looking scared and a tad guilty... Abyss took another look at the bag. "... I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that you didn't pay for those shoes...", he commented boredly, trotting in place for no other reason than to hear the soft clopclopclopclop of his hooves. It was one of the things he liked about being a centaur-like demon.

Kenzy sniffled and slowly took his hand trying to force stop the crying. Faint little whimpers kept passing her lips as he spoke it took a bit of time to translate in her mind. Less laid back, she wasn't sure what that meant but she knew from what he said it was good to be laid back. As she was standing her arms reached up in the typical 'hold me I'm adorable' look.. until he spoke of the shoes. She blinked a moment then looked down at the bag in her hands then back up at the man as she tilted her head. Bit's of her pink hair fell into her face and she slowly spoke, her accent (Brazilian) thick. " Shoes...are mine." carefully saying each word her hands still in the air Kenzy gave a soft smile then a light giggle. Slowly her gaze shifted down to study the being before her " You a..." she paused frowning a little " Cavalo" she said in her native tongue over pronouncing the word like it would help him understand what she meant.

Abyss gently helped the girl to her feet, then let go of her. "You gonna be okay?", he asked, more out of courtesy than anything else. Not that he didn't care about the girl's well being... Especially considering his frightening appearance. One-winged centaurs from hell weren't exactly at the top of the list of favorite things of young children, after all.
"I wasn't asking if they were yours or not... I just wanted to know if you stole them is all...", Abyss said, his voice lacking any anger. In fact, he sounded bored out of his mind. "Whatever... It doesn't matter...", he added, shrugging. In response to the girl's comment, he asked, "What's a 'Cavalo'?", raising a nonexistant eyebrow.

Kenzy nodded when he asked if she would be okay. She gave a faint smile afterwords even though he was once again asking if she stole the shoes. She didn't answer right away and it proved the better of idea's for he seemed to be over that subject anyway. She thought a moment. How was she to explain such a word as cavalo.. she tapped her chin a little and frowned slightly. "Ah!" she said then reached out to take his hand leading him through the mall a few stores, after a moment she stopped and pointed to a large blanket hanging in the window with wild horses printed all over it " Cavalo" she repeated her small hand pointing up to them.
She studied the plush looking blanket for a moment then turned on her heels to face Abyss " Cavalo?" she asked this time now studying his body the confusion now obvious on her face.

"Good...", Abyss responded, looking off into the distance.
Abyss blinked, letting the girl lead him through the mall. <Must be a fairly odd sight, a cloud being led through a mall by a girl...>, he thought to himself, sighing. When the girl pointed to the blanket, he resplied, "Nah. I'm not a horse... I just look like it from the waist down. It's hard to explain what I am, and it's really quite a pain, so I'll just be me, if it's all the same to you.". Abyss sighed. Why did he have to be born as a demon? It was all a bit of a pain... He saw the girl's confusion, but was unfazed. More impressive was that she hadn't run screaming in the other direction as soon as she saw him. "Besides, it isn't like it really matters what I am... Your parent's'll probably just dismiss me as a dream, and, after a while, you won't remember, so I may as well save myself the time and just be on my way...", he added after some thought, turning to leave.

Kenzy listened quietly. He was only half horse. This was new very new, but she couldn't exactly say it was completely strange seems how she shifted into an animal. She wouldn't bring that up right now though this man was still talking. Her parents. At the mere mention her gaze and aura dropped "Kenzy Jane doesn't have parents.." she said softly. Not bothering to try to stop the man that was leaving.
She let out a soft sigh " Everyone leaves Kenzy Jane alone." she whispered then slowly sat on the floor where she was. At this point there was no need to stand, no need to do really anything. She'd be a lone regardless of what she did her gaze shifted down to the shoes in the back and a soft sniffle passed the child's lips.

Abyss stopped. The girl didn't have parents...? This was new... Not to mention unexpected... Didn't humans usually have parents? "Your parents are... gone?", he asked, not really convinced of the necessity of a euphamism, but not wanting to upset the girl any further. After some thought, he turned toward the girl and again offered her his hand. "Come on. It'd be heartless of me to just leave you here alone...", he said, attempting a smile, "So I may as well take care of you until we can find someone better...", he continued. "Oh, also, if you've got enough money, you should probably pay for those...", he added, pointing to the shoes, "Not that it makes any difference to me, though... Money's a fairly pointless concept, if you ask me...".

Kenzy nodded softly as he spoke. Her gaze was on the ground when he turned back around to face her, her entire mood had changed, it was obvious in the lack of posture and courage. When he reached out his hand she slowly lifted her hand and rested it in his. She gave a faint smile back to him though she let it fade quickly. He again spoke of the shoes, she looked down at them a moment then dropped them to the ground. " I don't want them" she said softly then let them slip from her hands as they walked. " where are we going?" she asked timidly almost afraid to talk to this new man who was suddenly willing to take her under his wing, if only for a few it was still more then she had right now. She gave a soft smile again then looked up to him. " Kenzy Jane is an animal too" she said with a nod.

Abyss smiled as the girl took his hand. He'd seen humans walking around with their children countless times. They were at parks, schools, the mall, and some even went camping in the Endless Forest. Abyss had often found himself wondering what it would be like to be one of those humans. One of those parents. Abyss picked up the shoes before walking again. "Nonsense. You obviously wanted them enough to steal them... Anyway, if you want something, ask. I'll figure out some way to get the money to buy it for you.", he said, slinging the bag over his right shoulder. "Do you like forests?", he asked suddenly, as if out of the blue.
"Really? What kind?", Abyss asked, only mildly interested.

Kenzy nodded and slightly, she had wanted them. The soft pink colour would look nice with the dress at the house. She blinked as he spoke of a forest. " I like forest's... but sometimes they are scary.. " she paused then slowly spoke again " monstros." she said softly her hand gripping Abyss's tighter at the thought. She shivered faintly then looked up to him again " Fox" she said then smiled with a nod. She'd show him later for now her mind shifted back. " Kenzy has stuff at her house to get.. " she said then gave a few energetic nods. Her gaze shifted back up to Abyss. He didn't really want her, she knew that but something about the current company made her feel a little more safe. But how long would it last this time?

"Really, now? Well, you don't have to worry about monsters. It's a real pain, but I'll fight them off if they try to hurt you. By the way, I live in a forest. And I happen to love it. That could be because there aren't any demons dumb enough to set foot in my territory, though...", Abyss said somewhat boredly. He gently held her hand, squeezing it ever-so-slightly to comfort her.
"A fox, huh? Sounds interesting.", Abyss replied, looking around at the other humans. To be perfectly honest, he had no clue why he'd decided to adopt the girl, but he certainly couldn't leave her to be alone, so it seemed right. "Okay. But take only what you need, and maybe a few other things. But you'll be carrying anything non-essential, so pack as lightly as you can.", he said in response to her statement.

Kenzy smiled. Not having to worry about the monsters! This was going to be so cool. She let out a soft giggle, she didn't understand what he meant about demons but she smiled happily and gave a nod. Her gaze shifted up to the horse man, now that she thought about it he did look scary. There was no need to be scared of him. He squeezed her hand as if he knew what she was thinking, and she smiled again her gaze shifting back to where they were walking.
"Yep! A white one!" she exclaimed with a smile. She was skipping slightly now a soft hum passing her lips " I can take only important stuff." she reassured him, she didn't exactly have much. Even less then what he was probably expecting.
