"Hm, you could be dead you know." Enyln narrowed her eyes only taking a moment to look at the cup. "Anyway, I'm guessing you're alone?"

"I am well aware that I could be dead." Alec snapped, getting to his feet shortly after. Crossing his arms he glanced outside. "Why do you want to know?" He asked, his eyes shifting from Enyln to the strip of pavement outside.

"You really shouldn't take your eyes off of someone you just met, especial in a world like this." Enyln sighed and shifted, "and no there's no one out there." She dodged his question by repeating herself, "are you or are you not with a group? I'd like to get a head start of you are."

"No, I totally have an entire band of people back there with guns." Alec sneered, crouching to sit once more. "There isn't anyone else here." He said, sitting the cup he had dropped upright. "What made you think that sneaking up on someone would be a good idea?"

"No, I totally have an entire band of people back there with guns." Alec sneered, crouching to sit once more. "There isn't anyone else here." He said, sitting the cup he had dropped upright. "What made you think that sneaking up on someone would be a good idea?"

"Oh you know, I kinda have a death wish." Enyln offered a sarcastic smile along with a glare. "And what makes you think sitting down is a good idea?"

"Yeah, fair point. I just figured that if you were to try and hurt me you would have done it already." Alec leaned back on his hands. "Plus there aren't any other people near by…you don't really have to regularly take things from people out here."

"Yeah, but some might find joy in that kinda stuff, you never know." Enyln shrugged again still not letting down her guard. its a trap. screamed a little voice in the back of her head. run now.

Nykidia walked down the road doing a little hum kicking glass out of the way. She adjusted her hat, which was a teal blue beanie. She started looking for a place for shelter seeing that there was a storm coming.

"Some?" Alec said, standing up once more. He scooped the cup up in his left hand and walked back over to the counter, straining his ears for the tiniest sound. He still had yet to decide what to think of the girl, especially since she had slipped through the window unannounced.

Enyln took a few steps back out of habit. Even though she didn't want to seem scared. "I'm not the some, if that's what you're thinking." She shifted around awkwardly not knowing why she was even here still.

"I didn't ever say that," Alec said, staring down at the used ground up coffee beans. Who knew how old they were? It was quite possible that they had been in that back room for years. Alec stood up straight and turned around, "So, why did you come in here?" He asked, motioning with a flick of his hand to the back room. "Was there something you wanted?"

Nykidia almost jumped out of her skin when she heard voices. "People? Here?" She thought looking around the empty town. It sounded like it was coming from a shop. Nykidia sighed. "It's probably just animals." She thought but never the less she started walking to the shop. "Even if there aren't people here than I can still see if there's any food."

Alec stopped moving altogether as he peered through one of the large windows in the front of the shop. He strained his ears, listening for movement outside. Sure enough, he heard foot steps once again. How much worse can this get? First one person sneaking up on me, and now (maybe) someone else coming over here.

As Nykidia got closer to the shop she felt like she was being watched. "Stop" she told herself. "No one is watching you. Calm down." That didn't help one bit.

Keeping his eyes fixed on the window, Alec listened as the footsteps became louder, suddenly echoing in his head. That was one thing that he had come to completely despise in this new, quiet world. His sense of hearing. Everything was either horribly loud or blocked out altogether.

She rounded the corner talking to her self. "Stop. your freaking your self out. There's probably no one here. Your over reacting" She said to herself out loud not paying attention to her surroundings.

Alec's eyes narrowed as he watched the girl round the corner, and come into view of the shop. He let out a long sigh, "And just what do you want…?" He mumbled, just loud enough for the stranger to hear. How many people are going to pop up today? If I were superstitious I'd think they were all coming back from the dead…

Nykidia jumped back and almost fell. She took out a Knife. "What do you mean?" She said slowly walking towards Alec. "How many of you are here?" She said looking around.

"What do I mean?" Alec mumbled once more, his eyes still narrowed. "You're the one with a knife… Well there is the one behind you. She just kind of showed up, just like you." Glancing at the knife, he added, "And by, what do you want, I meant exactly what I said. There usually isn't anyone here but me, and now here are two new people." Alec slid down the counter, and sat down. "And in the same day," he added, a slight panic creeping into his tone.

"I-I, Sorry" she said putting the knife away. "I'm a bit jumpy. I've been alone for a while. Here let's start off again. Hi I'm Nykidia."

Alec looked up from his place on the floor and gave a curt nod. "I'm used to being alone as well, it's weird with both of you showing up in the same day. My name is Alec." Motioning to Enyln, he added, "I don't even think she knew that. We haven't talked about much."

"I don't even know where I am. I just followed a road and hoped there would be a town. Is that coffee?" She said looking to the coffee pot. "I haven't had coffee in almost a year."
