Leaf: Hello there!

Leaf: What's your name Sweetie? Mine's Leaf.

James: "Uh- Im J-james." *he flinches back into the tent as leaf approaches*

Leaf: *sits on the ground* You have a very lovely name dear! There's no need to be afraid of me, I'm not going to hurt you.

"O-Okay.."

Leaf: *sweetly smiles*

*he relaxes a bit*

Leaf: Why are you outside?

"This is where I live."

Leaf: Outside? In a tent?

"...Yeah.."

Leaf: What about in the winter time? *she begins to sound like a loving and worried mother*

"It gets cold."

Leaf: *thinks* Ah ha! How about you come live with me?

"..I-I don't know.."

Leaf: Oh?

"S-someone told me I could live with them and- and-"

Eliza: I'm not going to hurt you. Do you have any parents???

"No.. *hes shrinking back into his tent slowly*

Eliza: ok.... Do you need a home? Like a real home. Not just a tent in an ally.

"...You're gonna be all nice, then i'm gonna go inside and youre gonna hurt me!"

"I promise I won't hurt you. I just want to help you."

"She makes good decisions then."

Eliza: yeah. And I thought she would choose that new Greek restaurant across the street, bc she is so into that kinda things.

*he laughs*

Olivia: *doesn't look up from her book* Mom, I did think about choosing that restaurant.....

"Whatever would have been picked i would have eaten it. Thank you again for the food."

Eliza: you're welcome!

*he yawns loudly* "oh- sorry-"

Eliza: it's ok

"Wait! Can I take my things?"

"yeah"

*he reaches into the tent and grabs a ruined blanket, a shredded pillow and a small stuffed bear*

"are you ready now?"

"Uh-huh." *he bundles the things up in his arms*

"then let's go!" *Her warm smile comforts him*

"Alright." *as they walk, his hand slowly reaches up to take hers*

They walk to her apartment together~~~
*Opens the door* "welcome! It may not be much, but it's home."

*he looks around the apartment* "Wow.."

Two girls come running up to her
?? And ??: Mom! Your home!!!
Eliza: hey girls!

*he flinches back as they run up to her* "Ah-"

Eliza: ok, so, this is James. He's going to be staying with us for a while.
??: nice! I'm Olivia. Nice to meet you James!
??: LET'S GO! ANOTHER ROOM MATE!!! BTW, I'm Opal.

*hes overwhelmed by all the people* "Uhh.."

Eliza: *looks over at James* "are you ok?"

"Y-yeah. Just a lot of people in my face-"

Eliza: "Ik. It'll take some getting used to. I was just like that when I was young. Here." *she pulls out a bag of candy and hands it to him*

*he regards it skeptically* "I'm okay." *he remembers what happened last time someone gave him candy*

Eliza: ok *gives the candy to Olivia and Opal* if you need anything, just come to me

"Alright." *he looks at the kids* "...Hi?"

Opal and Olivia: hi!

"How old are you?"

Olivia: I'm 10
Opal: and I'm 7

“I’m 9. Nice to meet you.”

Olivia: nice to meet you you too.

"This place is pretty nice."

Olivia: it's really just an ordinary apartment. What part of town do you come from?

"I don't know, downtown.'

Olivia: ok. So, what kinds of things do you like???

"I don't know, um, drawing."

Opal: same!!!
Olivia: Opal, can you pls relax for 5 seconds.
Opal: fine.....

*he smiles* "And...reading." *he pulls out a tattered book from his bundle of blankets*

Olivia: ooh. Which book is that
Opal: let's just say that my sister is a huge nerd.
Olivia: Opal....

"It's Holes by Louis Sachar."

Olivia: I love that book!

"Yeah! This copy's kinda ruined, though.."

Olivia: give me a second *runs into her room and comes out a minute later with a book* here *gives him the book* it's a new copy.

"Oh, that's yours. I can't take it-"

Olivia: if you change your mind, I'll always be here.
Opal: *mutters* (with 10 million books)
Olivia: Opal!

"So, that's your mom?" *he looks at eliza*

Olivia: yeah. She's really cool. Every week, she takes us out to eat. It's either this hibachi place, an Italian restaurant, or Mexican.

"Wow! I usually eat whatever bread is left out by the bakers at the store accross the street, so that sounds amazing!" *he's as thin as a piece of paper*

Eliza: *walks back into the room* ok, where should we go tonight? *Looks at James* do you want to choose where we eat?

"I don't know what any of those taste like so I don't care."

Opal: can we pls go to that Mexican restaurant.
Olivia: we went there last week. What about Italian.
Eliza: that sounds good. So Italian it is!

"Alright." *he's seeming much more relaxed now that he has some things in common with the rest of the people who live here*

Later at the Italian restaurant ~~~

Eliza: so... Opal, how was your day?
Opal: Mom.... Why do I have to talk about my day....
Eliza: bc you have to
Opal: fine *tells her about her day*

*james sitting down can just sit at the table properly* "This place is really nice!"

Olivia: yeah. It's one of my favorite restaurants in town. The fetachini alfredo is really good. 10/10 recommended.

"I'll have whatever you think I should have."

Eliza: you should try the spaghetti.

"Okay then! That's what i'll have."

*the waitress comes and they all place their orders*

*he gives his order to the waiter* "Thank you!"

Waitress: your welcome *walks away*

"I've never actually ordered at a restauant like that."

Eliza: there's always a first time for everything.
Olivia: *pulls out a book and starts reading*

*he just observes the restaurant*

Eliza: *talking with Opal*

*he looks at olivia* "What're you reading?"

Olivia: *looks up from her book* a book about Greek Mythology

"What's it called? I go to the library from time to time i may have read it."

Olivia: A Journey Through Greek Myths

"No, never read it. Sounds really interesting though!"

Olivia: it is.

*he waits for the food quietly*

The food comes 5 minutes later~~~

*he has it infront of him* "Thank you!"

Waitress: your welcome *heads back to the kitchen*
Olivia: *hasn't looked up from her book yet*
Opal *looks at the page Olivia is on* OMG, how are you not tired of reading about Demeter and Persephone.
Olivia: it's really interesting, ok.
Eliza: Olivia, Demeter can wait for later. You should eat.
Olivia: fine *puts away her book*

*he starts to eat* "I haven't had this much food in a long time."

Eliza: dang.... How much do you normally eat every day

"Not much." *he keeps eating*

Eliza: ok.....

"Thank you for the food, by the way. It's delicious."

Eliza: I knew you were going to like it.

"Mhm!" *he continues eating happily*

Opal: *watching him*

*he finishes his plate* "Wow, I'm stuffed."

Olivia: *finishes her meal and goes back to reading*

*he looks around the restaurant* "You go here every week?"

Eliza: we go here about every 3 weeks. We take turns choosing where we go. This is on fact Olivia's favorite restaurant
