Snippet #2457807

The boy struggled to stand up while telling her his address, which she repeated to herself in her head a few times to be sure she remembered, and then went over to help him stand. He kind of reminded her of a scared, injured animal. But a smaller one, that would be more panicked than defensive. Like a rabbit. Or small dog. As they began walking, he started clinging to her arm, which only added to her description. But she didn't push him off, like she would to most people, telling them to get a grip. He looked to terrified for that.

When she looked down at him, she found him staring at her, at which she raised her eyebrow mockingly and smirked, despite the situation. She couldn't help but notice the bright blue hair. She didn't like blue. It suited him though. But red would suit him better, she thought. The smirk changed to a genuine smile and she lightly patted his back before looking around for his house again.

"I followed that hunter dude to apologize to him but I end up getting attacked by a drunk with a knife. Guess I won’t be able to now,” he said, shaking his head at the last part. She gave him a look before finally saying something that may not have been so kind.

"That was stupid."

As she was saying this, he kept looking back, which by reflex made her look back too. Crows? They weren't doing much but look at them though, so she let them be. Besides, his house was in sight now. Still, he started trying to walk faster, which Shina didn't think was a good idea but they were close enough for her not to stop him. "Who are you, anyway?"

"I could ask you the same thing. We're here. Is there anyone else inside? Especially someone who might shoot me for coming in?" She asked, avoiding the question. She wasn't really sure why she did, either. She had nothing to hide. No secrets bound to her name. Maybe it was just because it was something she wasn't used to sharing. And she didn't really now him either.
