The faint sounds of howling creatures reached her ears with the movement of the trees. It was relaxing to be in such a place at a time such as this. Her items next to her, she closed her eyes, sensing every being which resided in the town, and she could see parts of their life stories. Everyone had one of course, and some were more brutal than the others. To her, these times were used to get a sense of everyone, since it was never certain who would become friend or foe. As sleep was about to overake, she felt her hand being moved to the side and quickly opened her eyes to see a young fox, she smiled briefly and petted it's ears.

Sighing softly, he walked around the forest without a purpose. Just to walk was his goal, walk and think. Running his hand along a tree, he just sighed once more, not really knowing what to do.

She heard as the creature whimpered and inspected it's body slowly. She saw something stuck in it's paw and frowned slightly. She held it tightly, whispering softly. "It will hurt." And with her other hand she pulled off a stick from its paw hearing it whimper loudly, she tried to calm it. "It wont ail you any longer." She pressed her hand against the wound and concentrated her energy to let the wound heal. She watched as the fox laid it's head on her lap. She turned her head, momentarily. "It was just the fox."

Walking still further, he just ran a hand through his hair, not even really seeing who it was, just knowing some creature was sitting there, and he continued walking on.

She sat for a few more minutes, before rising to her feet, putting the creatures head on the ground. "Now I must leave you." She frowned slightly, and picked up her items walking off in another direction, but soon sensed the fox following her around. She chuckled softly, and stopped, looking at it, while holding her bag over her shoulder. "Do you wish to come with me, is that it?" She knew the fox couldnt answer it, but asked anyway. "Very well, you'll travel with me." She started walking again and sensed the fox following her once again. "We must give you a name.." She stopped momentarily, saying the first thing that came to her mind, wondering why. "Desmond?"

He heard nothing and just decided to sit down and let his senses go down, so he wouldn't be bothered by anything of even a simple aura, and just closed his eyes to relax.

She shook her head, feeling the Fox's paw on her foot and looked down at it. "We'll need to give you a name. I opt for Larry." She shook her head smiling. "You are losing it Saira." She laughed and watched as the fox ran away from her. "Well he certainly disliked that." She followed it, wondering where it was going. The fox on the other hand was making its way through the trees and found a sleeping Desmond there. It came towards him and brushed its body up against him.

He stirred when he felt the fox and looked down at it, petting its smooth coat. "What brings you here of all places? You must have better places to be." He smiled and just shook his head.

She found herself searching for her new friend, wondering if the name really scared it off. She spoke loudly enough for it to hear her. "Very well, Larry was a stupid choice for a name, what do you say to Julius Caesar?" She chuckled to herself, seeing part of the Fox's body with someone else. The Fox merely, moved its head to Desmond's touch, licking his hand as he did so.

He continued petting the fox silently, and then took his hand away and looked up, seeing someone there and threw his senses back on high alert and then relaxed again. "Just you." He laughed.

She watched as the person petted Julius and when she finally stepped close enough she found out who it was. "Yes just me, just as it's just you." She looked down at Julius smiling slightly. "Does Julius suit you better than Larry?" The fox just licked her boot. "Well I'll take it as a yes." She chuckled, then turned to Desmond. "It's been a long time, Desmond. And something's very different about you."

"Yes, it HAS been a long time, and changed how?" He eyed her curiously and shook his head, watching the fox for several seconds more and then looked back at Saira.

She sat on the floor next to the fox. "Your aura has changed, it's no longer filled with darkness. And you seem a bit happier, though there's still sadness. I would venture to say something of recent caused it."

"You could say that, and you could call it my brother. Idiot that he is got me to change my ways, you know that whole story." He nodded and shrugged. "Introduced me to a family I would have never had, had I not listened."

"Ah, so it was your brother." She laughed slightly. "Well the Idiot, as you call him, must have meant a lot to you in order to change. I'm happy for you, I truly am Desmond." She smiled genuinely. "You must be happy to have gained not only your family back." She petted Julius' back. "And I have an inclinatin that you will soon gain your own family."
