They didn’t have to be just words, they could lead to change. It wasn’t going to come all at once, just baby first. Sophie started to say something, but quickly decided against it. No need to push her luck. “Me? I don’t really have a story.” What was there to tell, she led a quite boring life. It was far from anything worthy of a story.

“No story? C’mon, everyone’s got a story. Did you grow up here or get trapped here?” She asked. Mira herself had come to New Fantasia looking for... someone. But once she stepped foot into the town, she couldn’t quite remember who she was looking for. She knew that it was impossible to leave, though. And most of the locals looked at her like she was crazy when she told them about that impossibility.

“I know what it’s like to be down on your luck.” She shrugged. Without her father around, her life had been pretty difficult with her step-family. She’d spent a lot of nights not wanting to go home. “Hey, are you hungry? I was on my way to grab some breakfast.” she offered.

Mira didn’t often gain respect for others, but the fact that this woman knew what it was like and didn’t have a trace of pity in her eyes was definitely a plus. When the blonde then offered food, Mira’s eyes lit up. If there was one thing she loved, it was food. “I’m gonna let you in on a little secret... I’m always hungry.” She grinned. “Name’s Mira, by the way.” She said, gathering up her stuff and shoving it into her trusty backpack.

Adam watched the other for a moment he knew he was being his normal self but he couldn’t find it in him to care. He never understood why people gave false sympathy to someone they didn’t know or even care about when it came down to it. “Most of the time yes” He mused before smirking “I’m always an asshole but you being abandoned doesn’t make me feel like one, It happens more often then not, I was abandoned when my mother died.” He looked at her “Is the bench comfy at least?” 

Mira shook her head, her blood heating up with anger that she couldn’t control. “No, no, no. Your mother didn’t abandon you. She didn’t choose to leave you. She did not look at your face and decide that she didn’t want you anymore. There’s a difference.” She said, her face flushing red. If there was one thing she hated, it was ignorance.

Ella stood still. She definitely woke the poor girl and now she was standing over her staring. “Oh no, I’m so sorry - I hope I didn’t startle you, I just, was trying to throw this blanket over you, you looked like maybe you were chilly.” she stumbled through her words.  

Mira was surprised. It wasn’t often that someone tried to help her. She sat up and looked at the blanket. It was wasn’t even an old, ratty blanket, either. It was nice and fluffy. Mira wanted to laugh how the blonde stumbled over her words. She loved making people uncomfortable; it made her forget about her own problems somehow. “That’s... actually really nice. Thanks, doll. Most people pretend I don’t exist, y’know.”

Sophie couldn’t imagine what it was like being homeless. Growing up her family wasn’t what you would call rich, but they were far from struggling. She hoped she was never in a position where she was. “You shouldn’t have to be.” Sophie said softly. “Just because you are used to something doesn’t make it okay.” She probably sounded like a hypocrite, given the fact that she had just been staring at the woman herself. 

Mira tilted her head at the woman. She was too nice and Mira almost wanted to break her heart, but she decided that it wasn’t worth the trouble. She shrugged at the young woman. “Pretty words, lady. That’s all they are.” Mira replied and moved into a cross-legged position. “Anyways. I don’t wanna talk about this anymore. What’s your story?”

Adam looked at the woman for a moment she was quite a little spitfire when it came down to it. She didn’t even seem to care about his comment about her being homeless. “Well if that’s the case then I suppose a park bench can’t be helped. Was it your wit that got you kicked out of said places or?” He replied back.

Mira let her mouth drop often for half a moment before her lips closed again in a frown. What was with this guy? He seemed to lack human empathy... but then again, so did she most of the time. But she was technically a cat, so she didn’t have to have empathy. Mira shook her head to clear her mind of her mental struggle and scowled at the man. “Ha. I bet you think you’re so clever, huh? No, I was abandoned as a child. Feel like an asshole now?”

“ – i mean, no,” the blonde scoffed, “been there, done that. you’re just hogging the bench.” she remarked, gesturing to the bench, “you know – the beach is far more comfortable to sleep on. sand sucks, sure, but you won’t get such a crick in your back.” tink knew a thing or two about trying to get comfortable when you didn’t have a bed to stay in – but if she had her way, she was never going back to that. “you want a sleeping bag? i got an old one i don’t use anymore. i sleep in a hammock now.”

Mira blinked at the girl. It wasn’t often that she met another person who had been homeless. The gangs on either side of town didn’t count because they were mangy mutts. She made a gagging motion when the blonde mentioned the beach. “Nope. No way. I hate sand. It gets everywhere and I don’t usually have access to a shower, y’know?” She said. When the girl offered her a sleeping bag, Mira tensed. She didn’t like taking things from people because accepting help lead to owing them and owing them often lead to friendship and... well, Mira didn’t want friends again. “Nah. I like being self-sufficient. But thanks, Goldilocks.”

Adam hadn’t meant to stare at the women but then again she was completely spread out all over the park bench. The act alone seemed very catlike if it hadn’t been a women staring back at him he would’ve just marched on yet here they were one staring at the sky while he stared at her. “Not really, but I wasn’t staring at you due to your homelessness, more the fact you’ve take over the whole park bench with your body.”

Mira cocked her head. People usually ignored the fact that she was homeless, but he just walked right out and actually said it. Interesting. She let out a harsh laugh. “And? Where do you suggest I sleep?” Mira challenged, crossing her arms. “Cause I’ve been kicked outta most places in this city.”

Sophie knew it was rude to stare, yet gaze kept flicking back to the woman sleeping on the bench. She told herself to ignore it and focus on the book in her lap, but she couldn’t help but wonder if the other was okay. The woman speaking startled Sophie. Great she had been caught staring and dragged attention to herself, the last thing she wanted. “I- well… ah, sorry. I didn’t mean to stare.” Sophie returned her attention back to her book, hoping that would be enough to placate the woman.

Mira sat up on the bench and looked at the woman on the bench across from her. She knew not to judge a book by its cover, but she couldn’t help it. The woman looked prim, proper, perfect. It must be nice to have the means to look like that. And she was reading. Mira couldn’t remember the last time she picked up a book. “Stare away. I’m used to it.” She said, decided to antagonize the woman and ruin her perfect day in the park.

[from-noir]

Mira was used to sleeping on park benches. Usually, she shifted to her cat form to sleep because it was usually easier to find small, comfortable spaces, but she must have passed out after laying down on the bench to ‘rest her eyes’. She stretched out on the bench and immediately felt that familiar ache in her back. Mira groaned and opened her eyes, blinking in the sunlight. When she noticed someone staring at her, she continued to stare up at the sky and said: “What? You never seen a homeless girl before?”
