Truly on her own for the first time in her whole life, Seria didn't know how to act. She slowly moved through the village, timidly, avoiding everyone she could. The mouse's low-hung tail, sagging posture and blank facial expression made it clear that something awful had just taken place in her life. Her gray eyes no longer seemed cool and collected, but now cold and dead; such was her entire previous life.
She let out a terrified whimper at the realization that she was more or less doomed at that point. Her family had meant everything; supporting, guiding and aiding her for so many years in her life. They had provided for her future and, indeed, her entire life. Now they were gone and she was alone; with no other friends or even true acquaintances, the mouse had nowhere to go.
There was little left to live for.

*Dantin was just walking through the village. No particular errand to run just... looking around. Everyone else at the house was either not there or doing stuff better left undefined. The street wasn't too crowded, it was just a side street after all. So in saying, he felt very stupid when he accidentaly ran into a young mousemaid walking down the street. He hadn't been looking where he was going, this being a testament to that.*
"Oh, I'm sorry!" *He said before getting a good look at her. She looked rather sad and forlorn, like something terrible had just happened.* "Y- you ok?" *He asked. The question sounded like he was asking if she was ok because he ran into her but she was bad off and not because of being run into.

There couldn't have been anything more startling to Seria than a mouse she didn't know bumping into her. She gasped and backpedaled a few steps before realizing that Dantin posed no threat to her. Searching her mind for an actual answer to that question, she stammered awkwardly for a few seconds before getting out something coherent. "N-not really... No... I'm not..." She neglected to mention her newfound homelessness right then.

*Dantin's normal expression turned into one of concern.* "Um, whats wrong? Did I hurt you?" *He asked somewhat dumbly. He didn't say it dumbly it's just that the question itself sounded a bit awkward for some reason. That reason Dantin wasn't too sure of, though... safe to say that it was more than just bumping into her as to why she wasn't ok.*

"No, I... I'm not hurt, you didn't, you, no, I'm... You didn't hurt me!" Finding that speech was increasingly difficult to achieve without sounding like she was missing half her brain, Seria stared at Dantin in a combination of misery and fear while trying to piece together something to elaborate on her situation. "No, I just... I got kicked out of my house... Forever..." He'd probably lead her off to kill her, but that was, in her mind, perfectly welcome.

*Well, that was an answer to Dantin's question if he ever heard one. He definintly didn't have any idea of what to do except offer his condolences... which coming from a complete stranger might seem a bit strange.* "Oh, er, I- i'm really sorry to hear that." *Once again, it sounded rather lame and Dantin wasn't real sure as to why it did.*

"I just kinda lost my life here... Are there any good places I can die at?" This was barely sarcasm. With nothing left to live for and a spontaneously hateful family, Seria had no place to call home... Nor beasts to call her parents. She looked up at Dantin hopelessly. "It's over."

*Dantin was more than a bit surprised to hear her say something like that.* "Look, it's not over. So you got kicked out of your house, why should you care? You just find a way to get another one. Life goes on. There is no good place to die so you might as well keep on living." *-Where in the heck did that come from?- Dantin thought to himself. That little speech actually sounded somewhat smart. At least he thought it did...*

"What are you talking about? My parents hate me. I'm not welcome in their house now. I can't... I don't have money to finish my schooling, I'm not qualified for a job to even support myself. Don't tell me about a new life because there's no way I can..." Seria heard her voice start to raise as it progressed, until she was nearly shouting at Dantin. The mouse trailed off when she realized tears were welling up in my eyes. "My parents hate me..."

*Dantin couldn't help but let these next words come from his mouth. His mouth started moving without first consulting his brain.* "At least you have parents..." *He was immidiatly sorry he had let that out. Of course he still might have a parent still alive somewhere but his mom had gone crazy long ago. In fact, she's why his dad was dead... but that wasn't the point right now and he shouldn't have even brought it up.*

"So? They'll probably kill me if I go back there..." Seria felt tears start to course down her cheeks, against her own will. There was nothing she could even do to stop it. Feeling her emotions get the better of her as she continued sobbing, her already poor posture began to waver noticeably from all the stress. She had no future now; no life. Nothing was worth being there for.

"Well then don't go back. Find somewhere else to live untill you can start making money and then get your own place. I'm sure some beasts around here would help you out if you asked them." *Of that he was sure. Most of the beasts in OF seemed nice enough and most would most likely help her if she did indeed ask.*

"What are you..." Overrun with emotion, none of Dantin's words registered at all. Seria let her tears flow freely down her face in a futile attempt to rid herself of her feelings. She began to all-out collapse, her knees buckling out from beneath her.

*Dantin was forced to step forward and literally catch the mouse as she started to fall.* "H- hey! I'm just trying to help, sorry if I haven't..." *It seemed that talking to him had only made the mouse even worse off than before.*

"I can't take this!..." Feeling Dantin take her in his arms, Seria instinctively responded by hugging onto him, tightly, while still sobbing uncontrollably. However, she was now doing it into his shoulder, which wasn't actually that much better. How often does this happen to beasts?
