Event Private Adopted

Kadasha had stayed at the orphanage for over a year now, and now she was being taken home by a man she barely knew. People told her that he'd take care of her. She didn't really believe that, but she had no choice. All her things were packed up and loaded into the car, all but her precious stuffed toy that she kept holding on to, half her face buried into Shay's back. Shay had assured her that everything would be just fine, and if it wasn't he told her that he'd take care of it. If it came from anyone other than her sentient stuffed toy, then Kadasha would've been worried. She avoided eye contact with her new parent and just looked out the window to see the trees and buildings go by. Neither the girl nor the shaymin doll said anything, afraid to be told to keep quiet. The child was anxiously hugging her toy tightly as if she was afraid the man would rip him off of her. She'd be devastated if that ever happened. Shay was the most precious thing to her after all. The only thing she had left.

Kadasha got extra protective about Shay when the man mentioned him, and she just hugged him more tightly now. Still she kept quiet, trying to pretend that she didn't hear him. It was at this point that Shay started to look more animated, glancing at the man. "It's Shay," he said. Shay sounded a little cautious. They still didn't know this man, and now he's basically got ownership of the two of them. Being a little anxious was warranted. Though, truth be told, the man didn't sound mean. Maybe that was a good sign?

"And her body guard," Shay added with a firm nod. Kadasha was just listening, still unmoving and just looking outside. There were a few greenish wisps outside her window, seemingly following the car. Meanwhile, Shay just looked at the man, still not sure how good he'd be. While he wasn't there when Kadasha's family was all happy and smiling, Kadasha told the doll how everyone got along. And how her parents suddenly started ignoring her and each other. That wouldn't be a problem though, right? The man came alone, so he probably didn't have a wife, otherwise they'd go together, wouldn't they? "Is it just you?" the doll asked.

Ahh, so his significant other had passed. Maybe that's why he adopted Kadasha? Poor guy, he must have been lonely all those years. Kadasha may not have lost anyone that way, but she felt very lonely all the same. Shay nodded to Noel. "For as long as I can remember," he told him. Kadasha sniffled a little and Shay could feel sadness creeping in. She must have remembered something again, he thought. He could only generalize his guess to the first few months he was with her. That was the time where she really got attached to the toy after everything had been going bad for her. He felt some happiness at first, probably as Kadasha remembered how happy she was when she had something new to play with, but it slowly turned sour when, he guessed, Kadasha realized why he was given to her in the first place. "Could we talk about something else?" Shay asked.

"Well... no," Shay answered, somewhat cautiously. "We did visit the park though. We... only got caught a few times." He was unsure if the orphanage told Noel how many times the two of them sneak away, but that could possibly derail the conversation enough from the topic of large bodies of water. How much did the orphanage tell him anyway? "Last time we were there, the Christmas Tree was still up."
