"Unnie ain' sure whad he's lookin' for no more, Miss Serry. Unnie ain' sure where he's goin' no more eye-fur. But Unnie don' mind; Unnie'll keep lookin', no madder whad, because ass whad Unnie does."
He smiled a sad little smile from under his hood, fingers still twined around Cerenah's hand. "Unnie's been around for an awful long dime, Miss Serry. Unnie's used da bein' lefd on hiss own."

Cerenah was, quite obviously, a teenage girl. As such, the way Unnie spoke, his fragile size and how he told her of his being alone just endeared him to her further.
"Well... You don't have to be alone, Unnie. There are plenty of people in the city - my Mum and Dad will like you, I bet! I'm sure Vrass would too! You could come home with me, then we can all try to figure out how to help you."

Unnie listened quite intently, as per his unwritten rules, right up until Cerenah said something that sent all of his neatly arranged thoughts skittering into disorder. He squawked, though only softly, in reaction to something that she had said, and seemed confused as to whether he wanted to cling tighter to her hand or let go like he'd been burned.
"Miss Serry..." For the first time he sounded uncertain, feet shuffling this way and that, burying themselves in the soft sand. "Unnie doesn' fink... he doesn't fink ass a very good idea..."
If he had had the mind to work it out, he would have realised why he had been sent to exactly this beach at exactly this time, but Unnie lacked such deductive ability. "Unnie... he finks- id would be bedder if Unnie wend somewhere else."

Cerenah continued to look confused, and a little bit hurt at the vague rejection of her offer, as Unnie suggested he go elsewhere. "But... I don't understand, Unnie. There's nothing wrong with my family, I swear. They're really very nice people."
Why on Earth wouldn't he want somewhere to stay, even for a short time? "I really don't want to leave you here all by yourself, Unnie. I'd feel much, much better if you came home with me. You don't even have to stay; we could find you somewhere else to go."
Damn consciences and their lack of allowance for abandoning others.

Unnie made a soft, uncertain sort of sound, and would have bitten his lips had he possessed any teeth with which to do so. Instead, he sucked on his tongue worriedly, still clinging on to Cerenah's hand.
"Unnie didn' mean... Unnie doesn' fink Miss Serry's family're bad or wrong... Unnie juss finks ad dey'd be happier wiff-oud an Unnie."
In Unnie's mind, Mister Helthas had found himself another special friend, and The Jack had never needed him, but all these years later the little creature was still drawn towards the man who he had made his own. After so many years, he still remembered everything he had promised to keep safe.
"Unnie... Unnie ain' sure whad d'do."

"Unnie... Unnie ain' sure whad d'do."
Cerenah stooped, bending at the knee to peer at Unnie with a concerned expression spreading across her face. "You don't seem like you're bad or wrong, Unnie, so you won't make my family any less happy. Why don't you just come with me for tonight? Then if something isn't right tomorrow, we'll find you somewhere else to go. There are... you know, those places. To help people find homes and families. Wouldn't that be better? I just... I'll feel awful guilty if I leave you; I wouldn't want you to get hurt or freeze during the night. What d'you think?"
If Unnie had had a little more practical intelligence, he would have told Cerenah that he had lived for a very, very long time, sometimes alone, sometimes with other people. Unnie was not afraid of very much any more, not even being alone; Mister Helthas had gone, after all, though Unnie didn't blame him; Mister Helthas couldn't be blamed for getting lost.
For a moment he simply looked at Cerenah, unable to find the words to explain what he was thinking. He was, of course, able to get by on his own, but he was neither suited or well adapted to such an existence. Without teeth, he struggled to feed himself, and he possessed something very far from a sturdy body... Unnie missed Miss Nal and Mister Helthas terribly. He even missed Miss Garrett, even if she could be terribly rude and a little bit mean.
"Unnie... Unnie..." He crept a little closer, letting go of Cerenah's hand to offer her his lifted arms; Mister Helthas always used to carry him when they needed to go somewhere.

Cerenah didn't hesitate to lift the frail being into her arms, albeit in a slightly clumsy manner - she hadn't much experience with kids, barely out of her kid-years herself.
"There we go," she murmured as she stood herself upright, arms securely wrapped around Unnie. "Don't you worry... We'll figure this all out and see if we can't find what you've forgotten. We've got a lot of practice, you see. Mum and Dad are both really forgetful," Cerenah explained as she turned and started walking away from the beach. "My brother and I are good at finding things nowadays. Especially Dad. Maybe that's why Vrass got him that phone," she mused to herself. "Maybe you can track him with it."
The teenager giggled at the thought. Lost your father? Click on the computer and he'll pop up.

Unnie didn't weigh very much at all, being practically a skeleton draped in copious amounts of folded yellow-brown skin. Used to being carried, he settled himself comfortably against Cerenah's shoulder, his head tucked up, gripping her carefully. When lifted, his tail hung down, limp and useless, the hand at its tip swaying oddly.
"Unnie remembers. Unnie remembers everyfink," he told her, voice even softer now that he was close to her face. "Unnie never forgeds nuffink. Unnie was a good Special Friend."

Tempest Kane sat out on the balcony of his fifth floor apartment.
Sitting in a cheap plastic lawn chair colored white. There is yet another chair for the same description to his right and a plastic table in between the two chairs.
His feet are resting on a tiny board that holds together the wooden railing in front of the balcony.
He's wearing a white t-shirt, faded blue jeans with a hole in the left knee and is..well barefoot really... sipping on a cold beer in a brown bottle watching the waves roll in.

Leila Abril had been walking along the beach, her heels in her hands, and she was wearing a bikini with a long skirt. The sun was setting and she smiled up at it. She then noticed that someone was sitting in a chair. She walked over, her hair blowing in her face. "Tempy?" She giggled and ran over, practically tackling him. "How are you!" She smiled and sunk into the chair next to him. She pulled her hair back and looked over at him with a large smiel on her face.
Glimmer was just swimming from the beach when she heard voices talking. She then surfaced from the water and looked around.
Tempest Kane Tempest smiled running his hands through his hair as he said "Leila... that outfit on you is...wow! You're deffinetly just... wow." he thought "smart really smart be the drooling creepy guy with bruised knuckles" he then took a swallow of his beer and lowered his legs sitting upright for a moment. "Leila this beach was empty a moment ago... someone drowning out there?"
Leila Abril looked out an saw someone and shrugged. "Why wouldn't you just spend all your attention devoted to me?" She raised an eyebrow and put her arm on his. "What did you do today?" She smiled and brushed her hair aside. She wasn't in the mood for other people, only for Tempest. "Is it bad I called you Tempy?" She giggled.
Tempest Kane reached over and wrapped his fingers around hers "You just convinced me. It took some arm twisting but looking like that..." he then shook his hair from his face and said "I had a quick fight today, made the promoters unhappy but I got paid all the same. Three punches and putting his head through a table ended it fast." he then smiled and sat up looking at her as he said "You can call me anything you like as long as you smile when you do it." he then finished with a wink
When Glimmer finally let herself free, she suddenly felt so naked. She realized that she was wearing a two piece bikini, almost too revealing. She didn't really expect that someone would be on the beach.
Leila Abril smiled and squeezed his hand tight. "But what if I don't smile?" She questioned and then looked at him with wide eyes. "Promoters unhappy? Is that because it ended so quickly?" She rested against the chair and closed her eyes. She could smell the beach scent drifting up to her nose. "Why did you pick the beach?" She asked quietly.
Glimmer was slowly walking away, afraid that someone would see her like that. Wearing a very skimpy outfit, her father would surely kill her if he saw his precious daughter dressing up like this when people are around.
Tempest Kane looked Leila up and down slowly "Well looking like that also helps your case alot too. I'm sorry where are my manners...did you want a drink or something? There's water, beer, and cokes in the fridge. I'll be happy to get you anything you like." after thinking about her question a moment he rubbed his chin and thought back "Well you know how sometimes people take really crummy paying jobs to get ahead? Well when I was fighting in the lesser circuits I promised myself once I was making enough money... even if it was just a shack I'd have a place on the beach."
He couldn't believe he'd missed her first question but none the less he did and so answered with "Yeah the promoters get really mad if things end to quick. There's no money to be made betting on all the little things that happen during a fight. Like who draws first blood, if a body part will be broken, sprained, whose it will be... everything. Knockout bets are placed before the fight though...it's all the side bets that make them their money."

Leila Abril nodded as she listened. She got her way up an grabbed two beers from the fridge. She handed him one an sat back down in the chair next to him. She popped the top off and took a small sip. "I love the beach. I wish I could live on the beach." She whispered the last part as her eyes were transfixed on the water. It had always made her calm and reminded her of her home. She let out a sigh an her brow creased a bit at the realization. She rubbed her forehead and smiled over at him.
smiled touching her hand again "Where are you living now and are you happy there? This place isn't much but I can fix it up if you'd like to stay here. If it will make you feel better I'll even sleep on the couch. There;s a lock going to the bedroom so you'd never have to worry about any trouble." his face cringed he couldn't believe his mouth had gotten away from him so quickly

Leila Abril "Did you just ask me to move in?" She smiled and looked over at him. She mulled over the idea and made a face. A good face now, not a bad face. She rolled her head over and looked at him. "So you wouldn't sleep with me? Do you hae a twin or something?" She let out a small giggle and squeezed his hand once more. "That would be nice. Although." She leaned closer. "I do have a huge apartment. Would be a shame to let that go. Once you fix this place up however, I would love to."
