Sute the Witch
Sute didn't stop until they were at the forest's edge. She stared into the dark leaves and sighed. She was glad the boar was uninjured. It really was a powerful creature. Hurting something like that wouldn't be easy or fun for her. Zelig, however was looking at Cole curiously.
"Well, human child, aren't you curious? On what Sute did that is. I can see you want to know, all humans have a need to know after all. It's in your blood to be curious." The demon asked, morphing from a bird to his form as a cloak. Sute flipped the hood up and looked at Cole. Her eyes were searching, questioning. Her ice-blue eyes met his and she looked vulnerable for a second. Then she tugged on his hand and began walking.
As she led him, she loosened her hand enough that if he let go, he would drop her hand, but it still held his. She hadn't held anyone's hand since she was very little and her drunken father was teaching her how to walk. Ever since then, she's never needed to grasp another's hand so readily. She frowned wondering what that meant for her.
As they neared the city gates, she reluctantly released his hand and entered the city. "Well, human child. This is Kalistos, a city of beauty and grace. Just don't hang around at night, hehehe..." Zelig chuckled darkly as Sute led them through the crowds. The markets were in full swing, filled with people, that stopped at looked at the strange boy behind her.
"Hm... Cole, we'll need to find you new clothing... You stick out a tad too much, child, can't have that." Zelig made the cloak fluff out a bit before settling again. Sute looked over at a stall selling men's apparel. Leaving Cole in a safe and easily seen place, her fingers traced over different clothes, picking out matching, well made articles. Pulling out a coin purse, she handed the man a couple coins, who counted them and nodded. Walking back over to her ward, she held out the clothes. "Look, we come baring more gifts for you. No need to thank us."
