Christy's - Fine Tea and Delicious Pastries

[Hidamari]

Kiri smiled frightenedly, the man seemed to know who she was, and yet Kiri herself didnt have a clue who he was. She slowly turned and headed towards an empty table keeping her arms cradled together, her small shuffling footsteps easy to recognise as she fearfuly breathed with quivering breaths, turning to look out at Cly she caught the frostbitten gaze of a hooded person, Kiri's deep brown eye's where held for a near endless second before she looked away and swallowed, Kiri pulled back a chair and sat on it wiggling into the middle, still tembling she closed her eyes trying to think of her parents in an attempt to conjer up some manner of courage. The hooded person flickered in her mind as she saw the reaper again and again, Kiri did her very best not to panic.

Now Kiri was sat down the Clytemnestra was out of sight, the smell of sweets didnt seem to be comforting anymore, and even though the place was warm Kiri still shivered, she could feel the gaze of the hooded figure, Kiri forced herself not to look, she thumbled with her hands under the table. looking down she closed her eyes and whispered to herself with short breaths.

wh...why did I come.. here... I... im not.. one... im not one of them...

the words "I want to go home, I want mommy, I want Cly" repeating over and over inside her head on a near endless loop, she was suddenly brought back to reality as the man sat down across from her at the table clanking down the plates and tea cups, Kiri forced on a smile.
