Cringing, Sora knew she couldn't hold out. Jumping backward, this caused many of the monsters to fall on to their faces, as they tried to pounced. Without any a moment of hesitation, Sora lunged toward the Accessory Shop door, opened it, and slammed it closed. She half expected the them to start ramming the door, that did not happen. Silence.
"Hello there!" A raspy voice cut through the silence.
Sora turning to see a middle-aged blonde man standing behind the counter. He had intense blue eyes, a cigarette in his mouth, and a I-don't-give-a-damn composure. Although he looked rough, Sora could tell that he was a nice guy.
"Oh, it's just a little girl," he muttered, disappointed.
Sora walked to the counter, and greeted the man, "Hey, gramps, I'm not a little girl!"
"That's Cid t'ya," bellowed the man, "So, are ya gonna by somethin' or not, kid?"
She shook her head. "No, I just..."
"Wondering? Can't blame ya though. Not many people have much anymore. I once hadda dream, y'know? Back before my world was connected, I wanted t'go inta space." He paused for a moment, before continuing, "Now, I got tha' chance. It's just not the same, but it fulfills that dream inna way too." She looked back to the girl, she looked pale. "I'm not borin' ya, am I?"
Looking back to the door, Sora lied, "No," She shook her head, and made her way back to the door.
