Scott stood in the shadow watching the snow leopard in the bronx zoo. He hated seeing it caged up like this. To be confined to such a small area. The lions got so much more space compared to it. He began to think "i'm gonna break it out." He looked to the left then the right. he wanted to make sure he know the area before he came back later in the night. He leaned in as close to the creature as possible. He whispered almost inaudibly "i'll be back for you brother."

((OOC: heh heh its a lil long ^^ ) Lucia had finally gotten today off from the cafe. Her eyes fluttered open when the light penetrated through her lids. Her blue eyes opened to the morning as she rolled over and read the clock. 6:00 am blinked in a bright red. She let out a moan and put her soft pillow over her head. "I wanted to sleep in today!" she yelled to the empty air. She laid there in hope that sleep would once again fall over her, but sadly an odd thing about her was that once she had woken up she couldn't fall asleep again. She rolled out the bed taking the blanket with her. She wasn't a fan of pajamas, but it was cold in the morning air to no be covered in something. She stood and made her way to the door where her housecoat hung and pulled it down. She then slipped the cloudlike softness around her. She went through her home to the door and opened it stepping outside. She was lucky that she lived out in the middle of nowhere. The air was fresher and it was just so much more enjoyable in every way being out there. Although the city also had its good things which she was very great full her wings could easily soar that distance. After she had stared at the sky enough for the morning she decided to mak her way back inside. "Well i should probably do something today since I can't waste it sleeping I'll waste it with something else!" she declared to herself as she often did living alone in a one room house with one tiny bathroom, and the kitchen, dinning room, and living room all rolled into one. She went back to her room and picked up a stuffed animal that happened to be a tiger. "I know!" she said standing up form her bed "the zoo!" she finished her thoughts. She then ran to her closet with excitement. "Yay! I don't have to wear boring back t-shirt with a boring black skirt and an apron she swore that she would one day go to work in a maid outfit.....it was much more fun. For now though she could wear anything! This made her very happy. She slipped off her house coat and put on a black tight t-shirt with purple skulls scattered around it. This deffinatly showed of her figure a little more then she was normally comfortable with, but she loved the shirt and for some reason she found tight shirts more comfortable. She just prayed it didn't make her annoyingly sizable breasts that noticeable. She then slipped on a pair of black pants. These pants weren't every day black pants. They started as short shorts with little belts running down to connect it to the actual pant part. The pants part were very baggy and loose. Over the short shorts she putt on a skirt that was missing 3/4 of it on one side and had a belt attached to it. She then added a long dark dark grey trench coat with really baggy 3/4 arms. Hopefully this would help hide her figure. She ran out the door of course firstly putting on her trusty black goggles with painted grey and purple wings on the side. Once she was outside she turned into her demon form. Large purple bat like wings came out and carried her away through the skies. As she soared she did some fun loops and such. She absolutely loved flying and never took it for granted. Soon she saw the cit of New York in front of her. Once she was closer she used a spell she was taught to make her self invisible as she always did getting to the city. She couldn't do it for long and sometimes it didn't;t work as well as she'd like but it was good enough for hiding a purple flying demon for 5 minutes or so. She dropped her self in a back alley where they was not a soul besides rats and stray cats. She then turned back into normal and was in walking distance of the Zoo! She walked out of the dark alley taking her goggles and putting them around her neck. Lucia became even more excited with every step. She then reached the gates. She waited and waited in line and then eventually got to th end and payed to get in took a map and went on her marry way. She had been holding a stuff tiger that brought this idea so she decided that she should look at the wild cats first. She finally got to her destination. Everyone there seemed so happy and excited with family or as couples. Thats when she noticed one man. She looked but his long hair covered his face as he leaned forward to the snow leopard. She thought he seemed lonely. She was a pretty lonely person to, she didn't like getting close to people. Her demons misfortune tended to take effect if she got to to close. "a simple conversation couldn't hurt right...." she thought to herself. She walked up to wards the snow leopards cage. "A very pretty animal isn't it?" she asked hoping not to startle him.

Scott had smelled her coming. She was no human. He pressed his finger to his lip and shushed the leopard. It would probably growl at her knowing that she was strange.He was surprised that she approached him. She must have realized that he wasn't exactly normal either. He turned his face to her and smiled "Yes it is beautiful. It shouldn't be stuck in a cage like this. It just doesn't belong here though." His eyes shifted to leopard eyes. "Like some others here." He winked at her and his eyes where back to there regular brown human eyes again. "Have you seen the bears yet. I have always loved polar bears. I came here a few years back when there was the blizzard it was so happy. You probably would have liked it. It reminded him of his home that he's never seen." He turned back to the leopard with a forlorn look on his face.

Lucia smiled back at him. When he talked about the leopard not belonging she looked at the animal with a type of sympathy. 'would this be like how the demon world was her cage once they took her away from the earth." At least she had gotten back to where she believed she belonged even if it was a bit harder of a life and she wasn't fully accepted.She looked back at him as he winked at her. Was that wink supposed to mean something? Thats when she sensed something. Lucia had learned to sense souls of humans to tell the good from the bad so she could tell whose souls she could steal and still have a clear conscience. The soul she sensed was very tightly in tuned with the animals here. She could also sense the souls of other beings if they had one of course.
He then mentioned the polar bears a smile went on her face from the news. "At least they had one good day. It would be nice if things like that happened more often for these animals." She said, but the smile faded. As she took another look at the wild cat in front of her. It's eyes looked tired and its body slumped. The eyes were not fierce the body was not proud. Not like it should be, not like the great hunter it could be in the wild. All so humans....and her can get entertainment out of watching it suffer. It made her feel bad inside for being so excited for coming earlier. She then thought about that wink. Was that a hint did he want to break them out? She then looked back at him. "I'm Lucia, what's you name?" she asked with a smile on her face her blue eyes looking into his brown ones searching to see if her assumption was correct.

He grinned mischievously exposing his leopard teeth. "You can call me Scott. Not many of your kind come to the zoo. If I recall they all say it stinks. That it smells of human and sadness and not of animal. I was near the elephants earlier and I personally think that it smells like animal. That or you guys have some serious jokes and are great at insulting." He chuckled lightly. He was trying not to inhale in an obvious way. His sense of smell was all that would give him any upper hand in this situation. If he could smell things he would be okay. So far he couldn't smell any more with her. He was surprised what could a demon possibly want in a zoo? well better yet what could a were-snowleopard possibly want in a zoo? He really had no right being here. He wanted to run far away to the ancestral home of the snow leopard because he felt as caged as it did. He couldn't go away. Not just yet he couldn't. He had family things to deal with. But until then he could help this leopard and the other animals that he could. He let his eyes shift back to leopard eyes. He looked Lucia over with them they where better then human eyes and he wanted to pick up ever little detail. He looked her over a couple of times before saying "I love your taste in clothes."

She looked at his face to see his teeth that resembled the cat right beside them. Was he more within nature then she had thought? Was he even human? Was he something different like her? He then replied to her question. His name was Scott. She liked it, nice and short. Her eyes grew when he continued. He said 'your kind' as if knowing she wasn't human like those round them. She listened to what he said. It was true her kind would think exactly that, however she was not like the rest of her kind. She didn't see humans as under her. Maybe some yes, but that is the individual not whole race's or species. If he wasn't human what was he? A druid of some kind? A creature part man part animal, something near a were-wolf?
She watched as his eyes as they changed into something more animal, very cat-like. They raked over her up and down her form a couple times. He then commented on her clothes. Her strangely white face had a slight amount of pink fill up her cheeks as she looked away for a second. "Thanks. I like it to...hence why I wear it." she stopped a few seconds before continuing. "And yeah, that sounds like how my family would see it, but I'm a little..." she paused on the last word "different." She looked at the leopard then back at him. "So what are you doing here? Doesn't it hurt seeing your family treated like a prisoner?" she asked looking back at the leopard.

He noticed her turning slightly pink and he turned his face away abruptly. He was looking out toward the crowd of amassing human. She was probably embarrassed by him staring so hard. He listened to her talking. So she was different from her family? Well she was in the same boat as him.
He replied to her "What am I doing here? I don't really know. Right now I'm checking out the area in preparation to help out my buddy here. It physically hurts me to see them like that so i'm going to 'Help' them out if you know what i mean." He snapped his fingers and they sparked.
"I'm going to get them out regardless of if my magic is strong enough to melt these here bars or not. But i can't do it in broad daylight. I'll be back at night. I hope i see you later." He ran his fingers through his hair and began once again inspecting his surroundings. He needed to remember all of it for later when he broke in. He grinned he thought he just might have gotten a strong new ally for it.

Lucia paused at his words. He was going o break them out. She looked at the leopard and back at Scott. She thenstarted reading the information about the leopard. Her fingers traced the cool plastic and went over the words as she took them in. She then looked back at Scott. He seemed to be inspecting the place. She looked at all the animals around them. They were caged and it did seem horrible, but would breaking them ot solve anything? Where would they go? Wouldn't they just get oose in the city only for people to round them off possibly kill them since they have gotten out once they could again. Is this really saving them? She thought to herself. She went up from behind him and tapped his shoulder. "Scott I think we should talk some things over. We can come back here if we need to, but why not tlak over some icecream maybe?" she asked giving him a smile. She really wanted to help him and maybe she could help with the plans, depneding on if he had answers to the problems she had thought of.

He turned back to her with a quizzical look on his face. He let the silence go on until it was bordering on awkward and then he said. "As long as I pay." He smiled and beckoned her over to his side. "I'll lead the way to the stands."

She walked over to Scott's side. She a slightly sad face. She let out a sigh. "Fine you can pay." she answered sad that she couldn't buy him something. She didn't go out often and liked paying for herself and other people when she could. She then looked around seeing large masses of people. She liked them, but still wasn't used to crowds like this. She didn't want to get lost form Scott. She spent the majority of her time on Earth as a child so she was still child like with some things. Without really thinking she just grabbed onto Scott's arm. She looked with widened eyes at the crowd and back up to him. "Okies then to the ice cream then shall we?" she asked.

He tried not to laugh as she came over with a frown on her face. "Oh come on what's with that face? If you really want to I'll let you pay for the already insanely overpriced icecream cone. Though I don't think you wanna break bank just one one tasty treat." He spent almost all of his time at work then added onto the money he inherited from his old teacher he had more money then was good for him. Most of it just sat around. He liked being able to spend his money on some one. He was a little bit surprised when she grabbed his arm, but seeing the way she eyed the crowd he thought it was better this way. He wanted to pull her closer to him. He felt undeniably compelled to protect her or something of the sort.

Lucia smiled triumphant that she would get to pay. Shehoped it didn't cost too much since she wouldn't get payed tell next Friday. She was sure she would have enough. she was excited for the ice cream plus she needed ood for though about this whole plan. That was when she noticed they had yet to move. "So Scott..." she paused. "Wheres the ice cream?" she asked giggling a little bit. "You do know where it is rght? If not then we're out of luck cause i don't" she said look for her map in her pockets with her free arm. It seemed to be missing and a sense of panic washed over her.

He began leading her. Toward the ice cream vendor. He noticed her mounting panic "The ice cream isn't on the map. You'll have to follow me. I'll take you to it." He wanted to let her know that he had spent every day for the past week here. He was continually studying the place for days and days on end. He thought it was weird to say that though so he kept his mouth shut on that topic. He glared at any one that seemed to be getting in the way he was splitting the crowd quite nicely. He felt at ease with Lucia. No pretending to be something fake anymore not when he was with her. It was an awesome feeling if it weren't for the fact that he was conscious of his surroundings he'd have picked her up and jumped from where they where to where they needed to go.

"Oh I see" she replied a little sheepish. She had gotten excited over nothing. She hated how she often over reacted with things. No matter how small she always did. She started walking with him through thecrowd. It seemed to oddly ease through the crowd so quickly. It was so busy she wasn;t really expecting it to be that way. Not that it bothered her, not bumping into anyone made the large crowd that mucmore bareable. "So how far is this ice cream?" she asked. "If it's not on the map wouldn't it be farther away?" she popped another question.

He gave her a gentle smile and chuckled. "Don't worry about toning it down here every one is freaking out. This is much diferent from the usual humdrum boring rituals that is there lives." He was hungry as well. Even if it wasn't icecream he would have had to go get some food regardless. "No It's not that far." He pointed up ahead. "Around that corner and we're there."
