You hear his voice ring out in your head, "I mentioned earlier that your friends go first right?" he asks.

"Oh..." Ashton replies sucking in a breath, "That's my bad I guess. Don't you think we should tell him his owner is gone, even if we don't tell him how he died he'll eventually find out something. I think he may be a Cadejo... so he's pretty smart?"

(Finally found a good image, sorry it took so long.)

I smile sadly, realizing we both have the same problem. Loneliness. Im about to ask her about her begging business when I feel somebody watching me. I turn around and find some strange guy with a bulky briefcase, a lab coat, and sunglasses. I call out, Can I help you?

I shake my head and take of a pair of sandles on my back paws then I nudge those towards him as well I wondered if he could morph too but I didnt take the risk

"Yes I remember." I reply

"As long as you are within school grounds no one will even know the difference. This school has really high security tonkepp people like us safe." she replies enthusiastically but not nearly as much as Neeshki.

I nod in agreement "So what classes do I have?"

"Same here." I shrug, smiling.

She looks around nervously, before nodding "Okay, we will tell him, but be very cautious and nice about it. I don't want to mentally scar him too much."

No, I answer. He neednt be concerned for me. I wasnt really concerned about him.

"Hm? I'm looking for..." he trails off, "... my son." clearly a lie, "He ran off a few week ago, I spotted him in this area yesterday, he hid in a nearby house but by the time I got in he was gone." the guy replies obviously not expecting you to have started conversation with him first.
