[Flashback] What's in a name?(blythe)

[Jokor]

The woman nodded at him."You can sleep as soon as we get over there,"
and she started to lead him in the direction of the alley he pointed to,almost carrying the boy. constantly talking to keep him awake and coaxing him on."almost there... come on." she whispered,

As they arrived at the entrance of the alley the boy slipped out of the woman's grasp and entered the alley, pulling the cloak he was wrapped in with him. When he was inside he just lay down at one of the walls and closes his eyes, intend to get some sleep even with the cold wind that was blowing this time of the year.

[Blythe]

Blythe led the boy over to the alley that he had pointed out, and when he got there, he pulled the cloak they were wearing off of her, and walked over to one of the alley's walls. Blythe watched as the boy's eyelids seemed to get heavier and heavier, since he blinked tiredly a lot, before he finally closed them. He must really be tired, Blythe thought to herself.

The wind was whipping around them, howling like the wolves. He can actually sleep through that? she asked herself as the boy simply sat against the wall, his eyes closed. He seemed peaceful enough, she thought, as a shiver ran up and down her spine. Blythe was freezing now that the boy had the cloak. She rubbed her hands together, and jumped up and down a bit, trying to get warm.

Blythe wasn't tired, and even if she was, she knew she wouldn't sleep. Not in a place like this. Not really, she'd always have at least one eye open anyway. And someone had to keep an eye on the boy, after all. So she stayed awake, simply watching, everything. But she didn't see much other than rats digging through the trash.

[Jokor]

The little kid simply snoozed trough the entire night, not having any bother about the cold at all, or just being so used to it that he could ignore the cold. Though he did scoot a bit towards the woman subconsciously for the warmth and shelter against the cold winds her body could provide. But not waking up at all until the next morning.

The little kids eyes slowly opened as the first rays of light landed on his face the next morning, He slowly opened his eyes and rubbed the last rests of sleep out of them. before he looked around and scanned the environment for danger.

[Blythe]

Blythe stayed awake for most of the night. Dozing off for only an hour, waking up instantly when she heard tiny footsteps. It was a feral cat chasing after a mouse. She didn't know who won.

When she checked, she noticed that the boy was still asleep. He seemed peaceful, had inched a bit closer to her, even leaned his head against her shoulder at one point. She found it cute, ran her fingers through his greasy hair for a bit before resting his head, hopefully comfortably, up against the wall again.

The boy awoke a few hours later when the sun peeked out of the clouds, and the rays hit him directly in the face. Blythe watched as his face scrunched. She thought he didn't want to be awake, and was fighting the need to open his eyes, or perhaps, even to cover them, with all of his might.

Eventually, he rubbed his eyes and looked all around him. He still seemed kind of stuck in the realm in-between sleep and wakefulness to Blythe. "Sleep ok?" she asked, as she fished a piece of bread out of her bag split it in two, offering half of it to the boy. The bread's crust was brown and crunchy, it crackled when she split it, and the inside was cold, white, yet fluffy. It smelled good.

[Jokor]

The little kid nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard a voice.
"Sleep ok?" The boy relaxed a bit as he saw it was the same nice lady who dragged him here before he fell asleep and gave a small nod.
Still a bit sore from yesterday's beating he warily looked at her as she fished out a piece of bread out of her bag. The kid looked at the bread like a hungry dog would look at a piece of meat that somebody held right in front of him.
Beginning to salivate as she split it in two, smelling the scent of fresh bread,when she offered one of the pieces to him, he quickly snatched it and began to devour it immediately. Looking towards her with pleading eyes as he quickly finished it, begging a bit for more.

[Blythe]

Blythe held the bread out to the boy, watching him salivate. He seemed like he was ready to pounce on the bread. He snatched it quickly, and devoured it quickly. It was like the bread was never there to begin with.

The boy looked up at her with wide, pleading eyes. They seemed to be begging her for more. "Guess you were hungry," she said as she scratched her head and looked back at him, then into her bag. She didn't have too much left. Just her water-skin, a little more bread, and some fruit, among other inedible odds and ends. Blythe pulled out a bright green apple, shining it on her dress. "Here you go," she said to the boy, as she held it out to him.

[Jokor]

"Guess you were hungry," the woman said as she scratched her hand. before looking into her bag. the little boy silently tiptoeing a bit closer to find out what she still had in that big bag of hers. Only to be a bit surprised as the woman suddenly pulled out a big green apple and rubbed it a bit back and forth over her dress before holding it out to him. "Here you go."
The boy just smiled a goofy grin at the lady before taking the apple and began eating it, just a little bit slower as the eating frenzy a few moments ago. Looking at the lady while he chewed on the apple, keeping an watchful eye on her.
"Mrphf qphebqp" The boy said, completely intelligible because of all the apple in his mouth a few bits flying out of his mouth and on her dress.
He swallowed as he heard himself speak and didn't understand himself.
"Why are you here?" The kid asked, looking at the lady with big unsure eyes. An asking look in them.

[Blythe]

"Mrphf qphebqp" the boy said. She didn't know what he was saying through the mouthful of crunchy apple. Some of which flew out of his mouth and onto her dress, slightly unnerved, she wiped it off.

"Why are you here?" The kid asked, as he looked at her, with big, questioning eyes. "Just looking for someone," Blythe replied simply, with a shy smile. "Feeling better now?" she asked the boy as she watched him eat.

He must really be hungry, Blythe thought as she watched him engulf the apple. And perhaps a little chilly, the wind was picking up again, and was sending chills up and down her spine.

[Jokor]

"Just looking for someone," the woman said with a shy smile on her lips.
"Feeling better now?" The little kid nodded a bit and shifted a bit closer to her as the wind picked back up trying to warm himself up a bit more.The cold still passing through the lady's cloak that was wrapped around him like it wasn't there. Still chewing on his apple as he did so. "Your warm," he muttered as he nuzzled closer towards her, not really caring that she could be dangerous or something, he still felt sore from the beating he got yesterday, she was nice to him, she was the only person who was nice towards him. He threw away the core of the apple when he was finished and looked back towards the woman. "You got more?" He pleaded again, hoping to get some more tasty food from the kind lady. but he also slightly shifted towards her bag and tried to look inside it, curious what she still had with her, though it was very obvious he tried to do it, he practically was trying to stick his head in the bag. Not really caring what the women thought about it.

[Blythe]

The boy nodded as he continued munching on his apple and moved a bit closer to Blythe. The wind picked up again, and Blythe began to lose feeling in her extremities- hands, toes, nose, it was just so darn cold! "You're warm!" the boy said, as he moved even closer. Really? She sure didn't feel warm, Blythe thought to herself.

The boy finished the apple, and threw the core over his shoulder. "You got more?" he asked her, as he moved closer to her bag, and practically stuck his head in it. Blythe laughed. He must be really really hungry she thought, and rather bold, as she gently lifted him away from his shoulders, and held her bag in her lap more tightly.

Blythe opened the bag, and handed him the water skin. "You should have some water now, you eat much more and you'll be sick to your poor little stomach before you know it..." she was searching for the kids name, but soon realized she had never been supplied with one, so she ended with, "little one."

There was a short pause, before she added, "you have a name?"
