Orphan to Orphan

Kichi had just been talking to a kid and now where was he?  The wolf stood up glancing around the misty landscape.  Everything seemed strange here but no threat was presenting itself.  The fireflies around him reminded him of the last time the firefly guy had shown up.  Following them, the grey and white wolf was less surprised this time by his sight.  He was still an odd sight but no harm had happened last time Kichi had met with him.  Again more items for sale for these mushrooms and crystals?

What was this guy wanting mushrooms and crystals?  There were enough mushrooms sand crystals all over the place but were the random ones not good enough for him or perhaps he didn’t like picking them up?  Perhaps the firefly guy was leery of the sickness but if so why collect them?  As Kichi hadn’t gotten sick yet he wasn’t worried if this guy had a part in it or not.

“Dangers ahead?” Kichi questioned cautiously, “What sort?” Kichi glanced about the wares and back up to the firefly man.  “Sorry, I don’t have anything.  I just saved a pup’s life though and need to get him somewhere safe.  Will these things help?” Tilting his head he offered a bargain, after all, he had been reasonable last time.  “Look, if anything in that sack would help can I have it to better protect the kid?  Oh, and how’s the cloak?” He’d got the guy supplies for it at least, had he bothered making it?  

So did saving a kid cause the fellow any softening of his heart. “I could grab you something again if it helps.  I’d offer you a meal but I’m betting we eat different things.”
