"Ahh...Hey kid"
The boy stood by the tree, watching him from afar, Qin hesitated before speaking again
"It's getting kinda late, are you hungry? You, probably haven't eaten huh?"
The kid just kept staring...This is starting to get creepy
{Is he retarded or somethin'?}
(Mammon!)
{What? I ain't wrong! The b*****d we're stuck with responds at least!}
[Weren't you the one who was claiming the Master as his own? Now he's a b*****d?]
{So what?! I'm his system I can call him whatever I want! And there ain't nothing a pompous prick like you can do 'bout it!}
.....Pompous?
[...Did you just call me pompous?]
{Yeah? So what?! Ha! Let me guess, you've finally realised that I'm the superior system!?}
[I simply didn't realise you knew words that big]
{Ha?! The hell you talkin' bout?!}
"In Azrael's defense I....didn't realise you knew words that long either"
[Ha?!]
(I didn't either!)
{Are you f**king with me?! I know more words than all you dumb***'s combined!}
[Yes, yes. I believe you]
I can hear your eyes' rolling Azrael
{....Are you f**king with me?}
I guess Mammon can too
{I bet you don't even know half the f**king words I do you motherf**ker}
[I assure you I have no such thing]
"What's that meant to mean Azrael?"
[I'm a system, how would it be possible for me to have a mother? Truly such imprudents]
That's what your correcting?!

He's talking to himself.....
The boy watched from his place by the tree, it was a strange sight to see, a kid with ears and a tail talking to himself in the middle of the woods--He's making a weird face again--his tail was swishing back and forth, he wondered if it was really soft, the boy flinched back at the thought.
No, I should leave while he's distracted...
"Hey kid?"
He flinched back, glancing up to the hand reaching out--when did he get over here?!--the boy flung himself backwards hands coming up to cover his face, it was going to hurt, he knew it was, it always did. The boy squeezed his eyes shut, bracing himself in preparation for the inevitable
....huh? why....why hasn't anything happening? The boy blinked, glancing up the fox ear'd man from before stood a few feet away--when did he move? For a moment nothing happened the fox ear'd man lowered his hand slowly, then he moved to sit down.
"I'm sorry...It looks like I scared you, my names Qin, what's yours?"
My name? The boy didn't answer, he simply watched the fox ear'd man--Qin--from where he was.
".....Do you not want to tell me? That's ok! In fact it's really smart, you shouldn't hand you name out to strangers!"
The boy came to a conclusion, Qin was strange
"So umm...Kid where exactly are you from?
The boy shuffled backwards, no. No!
"Hey, hey calm down! I just want to get you home, I swear! You're parents are probably worried so--"
"NO!"
Qin flinched back
"You talked.....wait no why wouldn'--"
He paused but the boy was too shaken to notice, he wasn't going back, he finally got out! Never! He would never go back! He's rather die-
"That's why"
The boy flinched, glancing back up, Qin was watching him, hands by his side. He looked...strange
"I'm sorry--" He looked away "--I won't take you back, but...I can't leave you here I'm sorry if I make you uncomfortable, but I can't just leave you here, if you'll let me, I can take you to a village, afterwards if you don't want to stay, you can go....but if you'd like to, you could....come with us"
While speaking the fox ear'd man--Qin--slowly lifted and reached his hand out, a smile on his lips. The boy hesitated glancing down at his hand then back at him, amber eyes met violet, they were warm, not like the fire, nice like...the warmth from before.
The boy reached out--hand shaking--he paused--small hand held out over a larger one, and glanced back up, Qin smiled and the nervousness fled from him, hand now placed in the larger one.
"Just...till...the...village"
The boy coughed, it hurt to speak, talk... I just talked....He flinched back he wasn't supposed to talk! Qin was being nice! He would get annoyed now, if he didn't hit him before he would now, he raised his voice and spoke out of turn. The boy's hand tightened around the bigger ones--he was trembling now--No, no! He needed to let go! He needed to--
"Let's get you some water"
The boys head snapped up, what?
"Are you confused? Haha, you're voice! it sounds like you need some, come on"
He began to stand carefully tugging the boy up with him, once they was standing he linked their hands with a smile.
"This way we won't get lost"
The boy watched him and once, and once again came to a conclusion....Qin was strange, very strange but....It....was a nice type of strange.
