The Half-kin, Alluria, slowly walked around the town square of Hearthrown. People called out hello and she responded in kind. a big black wolf lumbered behind her and everyone treated him as if this was normal, of course it was, it had been a few years since Baxter came to live with her, everyone had just grown used to him, the butcher even threw him scraps every now and then.

"how are you this morning, Miss Rito?" an acquaintance asked, an older man who had once been her school teacher.
"I'm doing alright Mr. August, what about you?" Alluria replied.
"good, thank you for asking"

she nodded and kept going about her shopping.
the people here all treated her strangely, she was unique, she could use magic but she wasn't supposed to be able to, everyone pretended like they didn't know but they did.
when she realized she had zoned out Baxter gave her a look that asked [i]'are you alright?"[/i]
"i'm fine Baxter" she replied, petting him "let's get the last of this and head home, yeah?"
Baxter nodded and she hurried to the last stall she needed to visit.
