[center][h3][color=f26522]Acacia 'Ace' Malikova[/color][/h3][/center] Barely had to glance at the tag along on the other side of the truck when he spoke. Acacia almost in an amused fashion watched the sour looks some of the locals gave her; some looked quizzical as the quadruped companion of hers was to be no where in sight, instead a human male took the creatures place, which made some of the locals buzz with curiosity and worry for the young boy's safety. Acacia moved to run a hand through her hair as she didn't even consider locking the truck, she simply nodded towards Ryan as he suggested he just tag along and at this point all she could think to herself was, [i]It couldn't get any worse, so why the heck not, let the human follow along like a puppy. Maybe one of the locals will drag him away... Oh that sounds like a fun idea, the locals think I'm nuts, they won't want him anywhere near me.[/i] Taking in a deep breath and rolling her shoulders as one made an audible popping noise she'd begin heading towards the nearest grocery department, she needed a few basics to get her through the next month or so and that included Truth as well. Upon entering the building she'd quickly shoot a glance at the lucky server behind the counter, obviously not too keen on Acacia showing up, she visibly looked to one of the others who were there to help and sadly none offered their services. "[color=f26522]Bread, milk, eggs, steak... Ooo chocolate, apples...[/color]" Acacia began to list off as she moved aisle to aisle grabbing bits and pieces of what she needed, thankfully being out where she was things weren't too expensive so she could stock up on a few of everything to last. "[color=f26522]So... Uh, is there anyone you can contact to come help you out? Like money wise to stay somewhere? Or what? I don't exactly know if you can sleep on that couch too many nights in a row,[/color]" she'd begin talking over her shoulder at the more than likely following redhaired boy, her voice soft and determined as she sought anyway to get rid of him, not to be harsh anyway. She wasn't exactly a people person and she wasn't exactly into taking in lost things, especially with a full moon on the way and more problems on her mind; she'd kept a lot about herself to herself and that was the way she planned to keep it... Having a human nosing about wouldn't make that all that easy.
