[center][color=7FFFD4][I][h2] The Abandoned Warehouse with a Cat [/h2][/I][/color][/center] Serephina looked down at her cat and smiled at the fact that she had calmed down. Odette was batting at a stray part of Serephina's hair that had fallen away from her face. She then looked back up at the boy and half smiled at the offer. She was after all very thirsty. She walked into the room and set Odette down gently on the couch. She plopped down lazily and swatted at her tail which had landed on top of one of her back legs. She wouldn't show it, but she was very grateful for the boy's offer to let her stay and get warm. She hadn't really realized it but she was in fact cold, hungry and thirsty. The adrenaline she had felt from entering this place and first seeing the boy had distracted her from her bodily needs. She then thought about her cat. She was sure she must be hungry and thirsty as well. Serephina didn't know whether or not she had caught a mouse or something while she wasn't looking or not. She sat down on the couch next to Odette and stroked her speckled head. She purred in delight at her owner's touch. She wasn't sure where the boy had gone but she decided she needed to speak to him at least a little bit. She felt bad now that she had gotten so in his face. He was nice after all. He was generous enough to let her into his space and somewhat care for her. She owed him something. . . At least a thanks. So she called out to him. [i][color=7FFFD4] "Thank you for letting me stay here. I really appreciate it. And I completely understand the whole not trusting thing. I've never had anyone I could trust my entire life except my best friend. But she's not my best friend anymore so, that went up in smoke. What do you do here anyway? Do you just steal food and stuff like I do? Or do you actually have a job and money like a normal person?" [/color][/i] This boy was younger than she was. He looked about 17 or something like that. But then again, there were people in this world that looked WAY older or WAY younger than they actually were and completely throw you off when they confess their age. She was 18 but looked like she was 22. She used to buy alcohol without being carded when she lived with her grandparents because people just assumed she was in her 20's. She guessed that was a perk of looking older than you were.
