Danny smiled, confused.  "I think they're still sleeping.  If you'd like, I can act as a spokesperson."  She pulled her collar up against the wind.

[KittKat chunky~]

Katka jumped  when Nestor tapped her shoulder, pulling her jacket close around her instinctively. The jump was accompanied by a stifled mewl of surprise, an embarrassed flush rising through her cheeks as she muttered "Oh, its you..."


She shot one last glance at Danny and the other girl, then turned away from them to hear what Nestor had to say. It was not surprising that the two hadn't noticed her, she had a tendency to hang around conversations and only have people realize she was there at the end. With a sigh, partly at her own social awkwardness and partly at the whole situation, she looked up at Nestor with a questioning look.

Nestor bit his lip, looking from side to side nervously and sadly. "Um... it's... it's about your friend the wolf," he said. "I checked on him this morning, and..." He looked down at the ground with a sigh, then looked back up. "I'm sorry, but he's gone."

[Kaya]

" i am going to be blaient. where are all of you from. not very often an entire group shows up without even leaving a single scrap of a paper trail." she smiled a bit and herd some distant murmmering, looking to her left and over Danny's shoulder. "looks like two more are up. know whe nthe others will be..?"

[KittKat chunky~]

Katka's lip trembled, a pained expression passing across her face. She bit down on her lip, hard enough to draw blood, stopping the trembling. "Oh-" was all she could manage, then a shuddering sigh and she turned away from Nestor, wiping away the tears forcefully with the sleeve of her military jacket.


She took a couple of steps towards the nearest wall, leaning heavily against it as she choked back another sob and muttered "H-he was all I had... for a father most m-my life..." Finally she slid down the wall until she sat in a crouched position, back to the bare bricks, her whimpers muffled by the sleeve of her jacket that she pressed to her mouth.

Nestor looked at Katka sadly, then kneeled down and wrapped his arms around her in an attempt to comfort her slightly. "It's alright," he said, gently patting her back. "He might be gone, but he'll live on in your memory... and in your heart."

[Aldrea945]

Danny thought for a moment.  "Last I knew, out of town for them.  I don't know where I'm from.  Are you part of the police?"  She leaned on the wall, glancing around for a car.  "The others may not be up for a bit.  Long night."

[Kaya]

"no, i am not. just a curious persron keeping tabs on potiental bisnuess threats." she hears the muffled sobs and looks back over at the girl trying to hold back tears. "looks like one of your friends has heard a bit of upsetting news."

[Aldrea945]

Danny winced.  "Can't say I blame her for crying."  She stepped over to Katka, resting a hand on her shoulder.  Even with such a small display of trying to comfort her, she felt rather awkward for it.

[KittKat chunky~]

Katka sniffed, gulping air after the tears as she wiped the back of her hand across her cheeks. With tears still in her eyes she stared at sleeve of her jacket. Mr O'reilly had given her the old military jacket years back, when she had first moved to Britain, the memory of it still vivid like it was yesterday.


The jacket had been far too large for her then, but O'reilly had simply grinned down at her; out on his gravel path in the warm summer evening. He had ruffled her hair fondly, scooping her up onto his shoulders as they walked back towards the house she and her mother were renting"You will grow into that jacket one day my girl. And by that point it will be you fixing that old car of mine, I tell you..."


With a shuddering sigh Katka stood up, pulling the jacket close around her. 'And grown into it I have...' she thought bitterly, thinking back to how lithe and thin she had been as a youngster. An energetic storm her mother had always called her, chasing the neighborhood dogs and getting covered in oil from head to foot in O'reilly's garage every other day.  She flicked her fringe aside and slipped out from between Nestor's arms, an embarrassed flush already rising in her cheeks again as she muttered "I'm fine... really."

[Cifero Windtail]

Nestor sighed, sensing that what Katka said was only partly true... for he knew how she felt as well. "If you say so," he said, standing up and glancing over at the woman wearing the clothes of a man. "And you are?"

[Kaya]

"not of importance of you unless you ca ntell me what your name is." she smiles slightly but could not help but stiffle a yawn behind her gloved hand

[Aldrea945]

Danny turned to her once again, noting the stranger was a fair bit taller that she was.  "My name's Danny."

[Kaya]

"nice to make your aquiantince. my name is Elizabeth. if any of you are intrested.. i have a job offering. but.. i want to talk to... everyone at once. i dislike repeaing myself."

[Cifero Windtail]

The cat bowed slightly. "Call me Nestor," he said. "It is the name I was given at birth, after all."
