Demetri stood at the end of aisle three, he really liked animals especially cats. He was thinking about getting one but he wasn't sure if animals were allowed in the dorms. He was just tall enough to see into the cage as he could see the kittens in there. There was one black one that caught his eyes, it was completly blackwith bright blue eyes it was really adorable.
Demetri liked to come in here, he never had bought anything but e loved to come look at the animals and he had never been told not to come by. He wondered why this cat hadn't been bought, it was cute enough and seemed well behaved for it's young age. He was kind of glad it was still here, he really liked it, but he did want it to get a good home.

"Hello! Welcome to Magical Pet Emporium!" Kandy greeted cheerfully. While Demi was eying the black kitten, she crept up behind him and made her presence known by blaring a hello. In her hands was a fluffy white Persian, which she had just finished brushing out in the back. It seemed like she spent a lot of time in the back, brushing out the long-haired pets, but it was completely necessary. If she didn't brush them often enough, their hair would start coming out in clumps, which wouldn't look good at all for the customers. The cats might cough up hairballs after licking themselves, which wasn't exactly appealing, either. Worst of all, the hair would sometimes get tangled and matted, making the animals look much older and more sickly than they were!
"Do you like cats? That little black one's name is Eclipse. She's a little bit reserved, but she loves being petted and held...the one I'm holding is named Duchess."
Duchess gave Demi one disinterested glance, and looked away as if bored.

Demetri jumped a bit as he was startled by a voice. He turned swiftly to see a women behind him. "Um.. hello..." Demetri said as he looked down as he blushed slightly, he was a bit embarassed after being startled like that and he was a bit shy. He looked back up to her after she spoke."Um... yes I do.." He said softly as he looked over to the black cat he was looking at before. He had never heard it's name before, he was kind of happy to hear it.
"It doesn't seem that she liked me..." Demetri said looking at the cat she was holding. Demetri could tell this girl was not human which was why she probably didn't react strangly to his wings. Humans, no matter how use they are to different creatures and such always seem to react strange to anything with wings. Most humans thought he was younger then he was, of course who would think a three foot tall boy to be 16. "Um.. my name is Demetri... what is yours?" Demetri asked as he looked to her. He didn't like to go to long without introductions...

"Oh, don't worry about Duchess! She's like that with everyone, why, she's even more picky than Rafael! He's our current phoenix." Kandy smiled comfortingly at the pixie boy, in case her mean cat hurt his feelings. She danced around Demi and returned Duchess to her home with the other cats.
"I'm Kandyce Saele, but you can call me Kandy! Please to meet ya, Demetri! I'm in charge here, so if you have any questions or concerns, direct them to me! I don't bite. Well...I don't bite people, I mean, I have to bite food or I'd just starve, unless I decided to live off of soup and ice cream!" The pink-haired half-elf giggled at the thought, paused, blinked, and realized that what she said was probably a little too random. Her giggles turned into softer, more nervous ones.
"Would you like to hold her? Eclipse? She's really gentle, so you don't have to worry about being scratched or bitten." She gestured to the adorable black kitten. "There's no charge for that." The shopowner added teasingly.

"Oh.. I see...." Demetri said as he watched her put the cat back."Do... the cats ever fight?" Demetri asked curiously as he looked at them. He glanced back over as she spoke.ok.. It's nice to meet you too.." Demetri said with a smile. He was happy to have meet the owner, now he would feel less out of place when he came by here and he would know someone."Oh... really... that would be nice..." Demetri smiled as he looked at the cat. He really did like the cat, but he was curious as to what she meant by kind of reserved...

"Okie-dokie!" She danced around Demi so she stood on his right, closer to the cluster of kittens. She slowly slid the clear top off the little display case they were sitting in. Immediately the kittens began pawing at the sides of the case, trying to climb out, but the walls were just high enough to prevent them from escaping. Unlike the other kittens, Eclipse did not try to climb out of the case. She retreated to the closest corner, trying to hide from the hands that would soon enter the case, searching for a kitten to take out.
"We don't use cage cages here, though I suppose you could call this one. They do basically the same thing, but this way, they seem less hostile. I don't like the idea of putting animals behind bars, you know? So all of our cages are made of glass like this one. It's more expensive, but it's nicer to the animals, and it does look better. We do sell them, because that's what people like to buy...but it doesn't mean I have to like them."
She slipped her hands inside the case and made for Eclipse, who tried her best to duck away. "Oh, come on, Eclipse. The nice boy just wants to hold you." She cooed at the shy kitten. When she picked her up, Eclipse did not struggle to break free, defeated.
"Here we go!" She handed the kitten to Demi carefully. "Careful not to drop her!"

Demetri watched her as she went over to the case. He listened to her speak as he watch Eclipse."Oh I see.. I guess that makes since..." Demetri said watching her pick up the small kitten. It lookes so small while she held it but when Demetri took it, the kitten seemed a lot bigger. But of course what doesn't look bigger in the hands ofa small person. "I won't....thank you.." He siad as he looked at the kitten.
It was a very content animal he liked that, he petted the small creature lightly as he smiled a bit. He really did like him especially now that he was closer to him. "So how long have you worked here?" Demetri asked softly not looking up to her.

"You're welcome!" Kandy returned enthusiastically, keeping an eye on the kitten, just in case. Eclipse squirmed around a bit at first, and then calmed down as she had the last time, accepting that she would just have to sit there. She tried to flatten herself and hide, but when the pixie began to pet her, she gave up on hiding. The kitten gave a low purr and tried to rub her head against the boy's thumb.
"My dad used to own this shop, it was called "Oliver's Magical Pet Emporium." About 5 years ago he retired, and gave the shop to me, so I got to do all the big jobs. I've been working here since I was a little girl, running errands and sweeping up hair and stuff in the back, restocking...stuff like that! I decided that I loved animals so much that I'd like to work with them up-close, instead of working around them but not with them! A year after I told my dad that, he gave me the shop." She smiled fondly at the memory. She was lucky to have such caring parents.
"I don't have any employees right now, so I don't get out too much, but I just love working here!"

Demetri smiled lightly as he continued to pet the kitten. This cat was a vey good one, seemed very obediant and relaxed how nice. He glanced up to Kandy as she spoke. "I see that is pretty cool..." Demetri said with a nod. He didn't know where his parents worked when they were alive. "So you don't get to go anywhere? Well at least you have the animals right?" He said with a smile before looking back down the the cat he was almost unconciously petted softly...

"Well, I like to go out and explore during my lunch break. I figure I can always bring a bite to eat back, but if I spend the whole time eating, who knows what I'll miss! Why, I could meet someone who will end up being my best customer, or maybe they'll be a good friend...but if I don't even go anywhere I might never meet him!"
Kandy walked up and down the area at the front of the aisles as she talked, making sure that nothing was out of place. She never really strayed out of eyesight - that was just plain rude with someone talking to her - but she felt like something other than just standing there, keeping an eye on Eclipse. Kandy frowned at the contents of a rather disorderly shelf. One of her customers must have rummaged around too much and knocked all the boxes over, sometime when she was spacing out.
"I don't have to go far to pick stuff up for the shop, thanks to the T-Grids we have all over the place these days. That basically rules out deliveries, too...so when I'm working, I'm holed up in here." She straightened the boxes in about a minute; years of righting knocked-over displays on a busy day taught her to move quickly. "I try to go out a lot on my time off, though."

"What do you mean by that?"Demetri asked as he watched her as she walked down the aisle."who are you looking for?"He added. He could tell she really cared about this shop and as she had said before it made a lot of since why.
She did say her father owned it before hand and she had always helped. He could understand her feeling like that, he wished he had bee nthat close to his parents. "I see.. it sounds like everything is pretty much going great right." Demetri said watching her straighten the boxes. Even though he had his attention to her his hand didn't stopp moving as he never let the kitten leave his mind. It was so small and soft he really like it.

"Oh, no, I didn't mean I was looking for someone in particular! It's just...when you meet someone, a stranger, who knows what they could be to you. So if you never meet anyone, aren't you missing out? That's why I like to go out a lot. I like to travel and see new places...with T-Grids, it's not that hard or expensive! If I travel a lot, I can meet a lot of new people. I won't miss out." The pink-haired half-elf explained pleasantly. "I'm American, I just work here. So I want to go to all of the states...and I want to go to all of the countries everywhere, even just for a couple hours."
Eclipse fidgeted in Demi's hands, deciding that she didn't like her current position. It was almost as if the shopowner's words got through to her somehow. Ever so timidly, she tried to climb up Demi's shirt. She wanted to explore!
"Can I ask a question? If you could have anything in the world, or do anything you wanted to, what would it be? What would you do?"

"Oh I am sorry to have mistaken you.." Demetri said with a smile. He listened to her as she spoke. Her words made him believe she had thought this over many times it was very deep. He had never left this island as he had lived her all his life. He smiled lightly as the kitten started to climb up his shirt he watced carefully in case she slipped. Demetri glanced up to Kandy a she spoke a question. Demetri would have shrugged slightly if not for the cat. "Well... to be honest I would want my parents back.." Demetri said in a low tone. There was no trace of sorrow in his words they were almost meaningless the way he had spoken. He had gotten over but no one can forget something like that...

"It's quite alright, I probably should have been more clear." Kandy chirped warmly, flitting from shelf to shelf as she searched for things that may be out of place. For the most part, her stock was neat and tidy. She only found a single bag of pet chow that was in the improper place, and she was carrying it back to the others of its kind when Demi answered her question.
The bag fell to the floor and made contact with a soft crunch.
"Oh goodness! I'm so sorry!" The half-elf babbled, feeling suddenly very embarrassed. She was expecting him to say something like 'date a pretty girl,' or maybe 'get good grades,' you know, something teenagers asked for a lot! Not many teenagers she'd met had lost their parents. It really ruined her comparison.
She'd meant to take whatever his answer was and explain that whoever he met that day might be able to help him achieve his goal. If he wanted a cute girlfriend, maybe he would meet a cute girl, or find someone selling a love potion to woo one he already knew. If he wanted good grades, he might meet a clever student who might end up tutoring him. But she wasn't going to make that comparison now. She wasn't going to pretend there was someone who could give the poor boy's parents back.
She awkwardly bent down to retrieve the fallen bag of pet chow. Luckily, it hadn't punctured or spilled.

"Oh.. it's ok.. I don't care.. A lot of people say that they wish their parents weren't around but it is quite different when it actually happens.." Demetri said calmly as he watched the kitten as she was still climbing up him. He glanced to her as he was use to this reaction from people."Please don't worry about it.. It happened so long ago I'm over it... please do not feel bad for me... that makes it worse.." Demetri said with a smile. He really hated when people felt bad for him, he didn't knw why but he had never liked it....
