Deadman's errands

Quote:

Nia this time would pay close attention to the movements of Kau's lips. It processed to all of his personalities. His tail dropped however, lowering his eyes. Protection, one thing that escaped him. His heart hurt, his body hurt from all the pain that had surrounded him. Tally looked sadly as Nia for a moment, she wondered how he felt towards Ace the only friend he had come in contact in these lands though the other Nia probably didn't care too much. Nia looked at Kau. "Promise" he whispered. "Promise no hurting, too much pain for Nia anyway." he said struggling to place the words on his deaf ears.
"Is it okay if I go see a friend sometimes though, she is nice." Nia perked his ears regardless if they didn't work. This time he yelled a little louder but he didn't know that. As Tally sat back on his head. "Nia's been abused his whole life, he's giving his heart out to you which is rare even if he isn't all there." The rat told Kau.
