Still a bit chilly out. Wish I brought a coat. Thought Jason as he walked through the large city that was much different from any other he had been in before. It had the familiar strangley disorganized yet organized flow that he was used to but the similarities eneded there.
He would walk through and stop by a store here and there looking through the windows to browse over what was displayed. He was impressed. there were things here most of his friends back home would who give up quite a lot to even seen some of this stuff and here he was in a place where it was common to see. There was of course still things similar to what he knew back at home but even those had small little twists to them that made them fit into the city a bit more.
Hmmm not sure what to buy though. Most of it seems like pretty cool stuff. I could pick up some cool gifts for everyone back home here. Too bad I got here after Christmas. Well there are always birthdays and then next year as well. He thought as he continued his walk.
Like usual he didn't really stand out. He had on his normal cloths (The stuff in my character pic) And he was walking with his staff much like it was a walking stick as having it over the back of his shoulders would cause problems such as whacking someone upside the head. Something he really wanted to avoid happening. He rounded a corner and suddenly found himself on a street that had severl resteraunts and he felt his stomach rumble. Wow I guess I;ve been out longer than I thought. Breakfest was quite a while ago and I missed lunch. I guess something to eat would do me good. He thought walking into a place selling burritos and so forth.
He grabbed a few burritos and a glass of cold tea then found a seat at an empty table then sat down and started eating the first burrito. he cast a glance around seeing the place wasn't really busy but it still had quite a few people suggesting the fact that the food was good here. After his first bite he found his guess to be correct. He kept to himself while he ate for the time being and even though he didn't eat slow he decided to take his time with his meal and just relax during his late lunch.

Tavia blushed as she looked around the city. It was really her first time out in it and she wasn't really all that used to it at all. She swallowed hard her auburn tail with the white tip swishing to and fro. She wasn't sure where to start but she had grown tired of the room she stayed in and had come down to the city to shop and just enjoy some of the outside life. Being cooped up inside was just not her style.
She walked for some time when her stomach suddenly growled. She had never eaten outside of being in her dorm and so she wasn't sure exactly where to go. She had spending money but that wasn't the point she wasn't.. well she had never spent money in the city before. It was then she saw a young blonde boy eating and drinking something. Nervously Tavia went up to him her green eyes looking down at him as he sat on the bench her busy tail flicking nervously.
"Umm.. excuse me.. but I.. I was hungry and wondering.. how.. you got .. what you are eating?" she said shyly as she blushed gently and smiled.

Jason turned hearing a voice to see a girl standing by him. The first thing he noticed was the ears. His eyes opened slightly wider but for only a brief second when he realized they were real. He still wasn't used to meeting others who were not human. He didn't mind it but instead looked forward to it.
He gave a smile in response to her question understanding from the way she asked that she wasn't used to getting food this way. "It's pretty simple really. You just go up to the counter and look on the menu and tell the person what you want and pay the amount needed." He said in a relaxed and friendly voice. He noticed her blushing and that her tail swished a bit. She was clearly nervous. "Tell you what. If you are nervous I'll even go up ther with you." he said standing up in a smooth motion.

Tavia blushed and tugged on the edges of her short black dress. (Siggie) It was short and she had those high black socks going up her small pale legs. Little black ribbons in her hair just behind her ears that were cat like and not human. He was going through a rather basic description of how you got some food here and she blushed biting her lower lip with her perfectly straight white teeth as she looked at him shyly. He seemed to understand that she might need more help than just a quick and brief explanation. He offered to help. She gasped and a happy innocent look crossed her face.
"Really?! Oh would you?! I would appreciate it really I would. I have my own monnies." she said as she dug into a small pocket and came out with a five dollar bill and some change she had gotten together.
"Is this many monnies enough?" she asked as she looked up at him shyly.

"Well I would hardly offer to do so if I didn't mean it." He said still smiling and gave a nod in response to her question. "Yeah that should be enough to get something toeat and drink." He said still not able to help but observe her. She seemed mostly human but was clearly not so. he knew he'd have to get around to asking what her race was.
Was was polite enough to not stare but his focus was clearly on her for the moment. "By the way my name's Jason. A new student at the Academy. Who are you?' He asked offering his hand in greeting.

Tavia smiled and giggled at him in that cute manner her tail swishing happily right now that she was getting a bit more comfortable. She even had enough money to go buy dinner. Which was a huge thing because she really was hungry. She smiled softly as he seemed to be curious about her but didn't ask anything. He introduced himself and held out his hand. Well now she had never met anyone else besides Audric before and he really didn't let her come out much so she didn't know what it was that you did with a hand. So she took his fingers in hers and remembered something she had seen on that funny picture tube and shook his hand really hard. By accident of course and then giggled because she had done it right.. so she thought.
"I'm Tavia!" she said with a smile. "Nice to meet you Mr. Jason." she giggled softly as she tilted her head to the side softly.

Jason gave a small chuckle as well as it became clear she had only seen people shaking hands and had never done it before. She introduced herself and seemed to go from shy to outright pleased very quickly. "It's good to meet you too Tavia. but go ahead and just call me Jason. I think I'm a bit too young to be called Mr." he said keeping his smile.
"Well let's go grab some food for you." he said leading her to the counter. "Well go ahead and take a look you could get pretty much one of anything here for the money you have with you." he said.

Tavia smiled as he told her to just call him Jason. That he wasn't old enough to be called Mr. But then.. that was impolite. You called someone Ms. or Mr. until you knew them well enough not to. Or unless they said so but he had only just met her was it really okay to do that? She nodded softly and bit her lower lip in indecision as he led her over to the stand. It sold all manner of things most she had never even heard of before except in modern books and by other people talking about them. Living in a forest most of her life was not helping the poor kitten as she stood there her tail swishing to and fro.
Luckily for her there were pictures next to the food so she could at least put a name with a picture. There was a hotdog, burritio, a hamburger, fries, and various drinks. What was a Dr. Smepper.. no Pepper yeah pepper.
"Ummm a .. hamburger and a .. Spit? No.. its a sppriiiite." she said to the man and handed him her money. The man gave her back her change and she put it in her pocket. Soon he handed her a foil wrapped round thing and then a cup filled with bubbly fluid.
"Thank you." she said and went to the bench to sit and eat with her new friend Jason."

"See not that hard at all. I'm willing to guess this is your first time eating out lke this." He said taking his seat again then taking a bite out of his food and washing it down with a bit of his tea. He found Tavia very interesting. She definatly seemed like she didn't get out much. And didn't seem familar with alot of things in a city type area. Definatly smart though. She's picked up on things decently from what I;ve seen if this is her first time doing this. He thought.
"So do you study at the Academy as well." He asked wondering if she had magical talents like most people in this city.

Tavia opened her hamburger foil wrap gently and gasped and the tasty goodness within. She picked it up and bit into it a little bit of mustard got on her cheek but she didn't seem to notice. Her little feet danced up and down in her small black shoes and her tail was flopping back and forth happily. She smiled as she sipped her sprite and giggled happily.
"They're so tasty!" she said happily as she took another bite of her wonderful burger.
"It is my first time eating out. It's so good though. I never thought other people's food was good like this." she smiled and hummed as she took another bite totally unaware that her mustard spot had just gotten a tiny bit bigger.
"I do go to the academy. Do you? I"m pretty new though. Don't get out much either. Not allowed to. Supposed to stay inside. But I couldn't take it anymore. So I snuck out." she giggled.

Jason couldn't help but smile. It was interesting watching her reactions. she didn't seem to feel the need to express herself in anyway but what she actually felt. he didn't see that quality in alot of people. "Yeah the food tends to be pretty good or the place wouldn't stay in buisness." he said and gave a small chuckle at the seeing the mustard stain. he grabbed a napkin. "Hold still a second." He said gently but quickly getting the mustard off. "You definatly must be hungery he said chuckling.
"Yes I got to the Academy. I'm pretty new as well." he said answering her question. But a slight bit of concern came to his mind at hearing her having to sneak out. "Why aren't you allowed to go out? You seem old enough and smart enough to be able to handle yourselfwhile out and about." he said curiously.

He told her to hold still and she froze. It was obvious that she was used to following orders it didn't matter to her really who gave them. But if Audric had been here any that he gave would in fact over ride any that Jason gave to her. Soon there was some yellowy stuff on his napkin that had come off her cheek and she blushed but didn't start moving again as he hadn't told her yet she could move. He asked her another question but she didn't move but she would answer as it was exected of her.
"Audric. I belong to him. He tells me I can go places or not. And he didn't say it was okay to come here today but I was bored and he had left to do some studying he said. And .. I haven't been out in weeks. I'm a kitty I need fresh air and sparkly things." she said as she shifted her eyes to look at him.
There was a collar around her neck as if it was the final straw of the 'this is mine' policy she seemed to have around her. She waited though. She was still frozen but man! She was hungry and thirsty but she was going to be a good kitty because if Audric found out she snuck out and was bad it wouldn't be good so she knew.

Jason noticed Tavia was very still after he asked her to stop for a second. And her explaination made it very clear as to why and he picked up on it instantly. "Go ahead and eat I didn;t mean for you to stop completely." He said giving a warm smile. He took a bite from his food and his eyebrows furrowed. To him her position sounded similar to slavery. he didn't like that one bit. But then again Tavia seemed happy and that wasn;t something a slave had. She was owned. he still wasn't comfortably with the thought of one person owning another.
"I know it's not exactly my place to really say this but it's going to bother me if it isn't clear. Is this Aldric treating you as some slave? I just can't see it being right for a person to be owned by another. Does he at least treat you nicley? And though I would never speak of it to him. What would he do if he found out about you sneaking out?' he asked with a hint of concern in his voice.

She was unfrozen and she began to move again as she ate her hamburger. She hummed softly as she bit into it and smiled it was so good. She had never eaten a hamburger before she was definatly enjoying it to say the least. She looked over at Jason while he ate and seemed to wonder exactly why she was owned. Wondering if she was treated right and so forth. And she sipped her Spit.. no Sprite.. yeah Sprite to swallow down her food so she could speak.
"MMm mm I'm not sure how a slave is treated. My parents sold me to his family and they gave me to him. Because I'm a healer they think I should be with him we make a match or something. But.. he treats me pretty okay. I"m not supposed to bother him when he's reading or studying so I have to be real quiet or he gets mad. And he yells at me and stuff. But sometimes he takes me to the library so I can get a book to read. Ummm but.. I dunno.. what a slave is treated like. Am... I a slave? You think?" she asked softly looking at Jason.
She bit her lip as she waited to know what he thought. This slave thing sounded rather bad. She had read about them in books and things but she had never thought she might be one.

Jason was a bit less worried. At least it seemed she was being treated well for the most part but her being owned still bothered him to a great degree. Particularly as her family apparently had sold her. It just didn't set right with the morals he had been raised with. "Well I wouldn't say a slave really. At least he treats you well most of the time." He said sounding a bit more relived. "Sorry to pry. I was just raised with the idea that someone owning another person was just plain wrong. Are you at least happy?' he asked knowing that could be a major factor. If she was treated well and happy he would leave well enough alone. Even if he didn't feel it was right. But he had been taught that if needed it was the right thing to help people.
