A Little of Everything

[•Mouse•]

" Even if you're not around me you're still just you. However, it's a the 'gifted' " At this she performed air quotes. " you. No matter what you're still Ven." The girl nodded her head firmly, not really caring if he was impressed or not. Everything Carmela did was for a reason, for the fact she wanted to and felt it was the right thing to do. It was done with a sense of pride and she never regretted ever doing anything.

[Ven]

"I think that sadly you may find more than one me." Ven said his voice sounding not exactly happy at thinking about his powers.
"You see I have an interesting past, some weird stuff, bad stuff, scary stuff. I got way to much happening in my head. It's why I'm enjoying you specifically. Your powers are.......Releaseing something. Getting the snake out of me, making me human, normal natural. Not that I hate my powers, but Iy feels like ditching a ten year old headache." He paused realizeing he must of sounded uncomfortably serious.

"Sorry if I got a little solemn on ya there." He said apologetically, cracking another grin.

[•Mouse•]

" Scary, Bad and weird stuffs? I don't like that kind of stuffs. Personally, I like the happy and fun stuffs. Life is far too short to live it in scary moments." The young girl nodded, her smile faultering a bit as Ven got a little further into the topic of his past. Though she was curious, Carmela knew better than to pry. And in hearing his appology shrugged and hugged the boy, allowing him to know that she was quite fine with hearing such things.

" We're friends! I don't mind, It's just had for me to be serious one-hundred percent of the time. I'm just a kid!" Chuckled the girl looking about the area with great intrest.

[Ven]

"So am, at least now I am." Ven said, grinning, his voice happy once again.

"And trust me, I think I enjoy the whole, kid thing as much as you." Ven said stroilling allong happily. He could hardly remember the any time before the experiments, he had so few good childhood memories, he might as well have been born a snake, hatched from an egg.

"Well anyway milady, where do want to go?" He asked the hand that wasn't over her should gesturing in a circle around them, pointing at everything.

[•Mouse•]

Carmela took the mall in, all it's sights and sounds. There were stores everywhere for everything. How could the mundane people that flooded these places pick them out so easily? Carmela grew fascinated with a store whose window display had a large teddy bear in it, but her eyes wandered around once more. One place? She didn't care, she was a wonderer, there was no one place she wanted to go specificly.

" I don't know...I was just wondering around aimlessly before I saw you looking about." Carmela spoke in absolute honesty, giving her small shoulders a shrug.

[Ven]

"The pet store maybe?" Ven asked, cocking an eyebrow innocently as he did so. He had always liked animals, not that partly being one didn't have anything to do with. However as a reptillian he had this thing about eating mammals smaller than him. With her, he could do whatever he wanted with small mammals, no probleem, as long as she was with him, he could do pretty much anything it seemed.

"Whattya say?"

[•Mouse•]

" I say...Let's go!" The girl began at her strange walking pace which would gradually shift between fast and slow as she lead him through the crowd towards the animal shop. She loved puppies and kittens and simple adored anything soft and cuddly. If it wasn't obvious she was the 'typical' girl. There was an odd sense of excitement which bubbled through Carmela as they drew nearer the store and she smiled widely.

[Ven]

"And here we are." ven said grinning, a letting a hand flutter in the direction of the store.he began to wlk towards the store slowly, pondering the various types of animals that could be inside of the small shop. he always found in interesting that some stores had such a bland selection while other managed to hold multitudes of exotic and strange creatures.

"Anything you want in particular? He asked looking into the glass as they walked in.

[•Mouse•]

" I don't know, but I can tell you one thing...I wanna hold the chinchilla!" Proclaimed Carmela as she skipped in, leaving Ven's side for only a minute. She returned with a ball of fluffy craddled in her arms. A small black chinchilla sat nibbling something and she smiled, returning to his side as she looked around and smiled at all the animals.

[Ven]

Ven grinned at the small furry creature. For once he didn't feel the urge...to, well eat. He wasn't hungry, nor did his mouth slavate upon seeing the small creature. /God/ he thought/ I love this girl/ Of course he didn't mean it entirely seriously, but he was beging to really enjoy this girl.

"You want that?" Ven asked, sticking a hand in his pocket, fiddling around with his wallet.

[•Mouse•]

" If I had more money, yes. But...I don't and the nice people let me pay in installments. They're holding him for me 'til I'm done paying everything off! His name is Monty!" Giggled the girl kissing the top of the fluff ball. She was known to come to this store at least twice a week to pay Monty a visit and to prehaps pay of more of the bill. She leaned forward, examining a bird cage and the blue macaw inside and said hi to it. The bird said it back and Carmela burst into giggles.

[Ven]

Ven turned away from carmela breifly to speak to the storekeeper, finding out how much was left on the tab for monty. He quickly fumbled with his wallet pulling out a few crushed green bills and placing them on the counter, finishing off the price of monty, he then countinued to pick up and pay for a small bag of food for the rodent.

He attempted to fit all this into the small amount of time that camela was talking to the parrot, a hurried manner about him as he bagged the food, and gave the storekeeper the money. He had forgotten that it actually felt good to do nice things.

[•Mouse•]

She turned, Monty having positioned himself in the bend of her elbow, nibbling on his snack. She smiled down at the puffy little chinchilla before looking up. Eyes fell on the bag Ven held in his hand and she tilted her head to the side. Pointing with her gloved hand she looked at him with great wonderment.

" Whazzat?" It sounded as if she suspected the boy of something and made Carmela feel like a cop interrogating a witness.

[Ven]

"Well, uh, it's, um....hey ya wanna just take Monty home now? I kinda paid for him for you?" Ven said, flicking his thumb backward to the storekeeper. He had to admit he had imagined Giving her monty in a semi more artistic way, but he found that the message came across just as well when he did it in the rushed manner he just had.

"I got some food for him too." he said rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

[•Mouse•]

" Really?" She looke somewhat stunned at first but darted over, and with great care as to not squish Monty, hugged Ven. She was happy, Monty was now fully hers and would go home with her today. She's set up his cage she had bought him and get him all set with the toys, igloo and all the other goodies she had bought prior to buying the chinchilla.

" Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!" Carmela spoke extremely fast as she hugged Ven close. He had bought someone he hardly known, or finished of the payments on the chinchilla, something. Carmela was extremely hyper now, and when she pulled away held Monty before her face.

" You're mine now, Monty!!" The girl said and rubbed her nose against the chinchillas.
