Micino clinged to Nyla as soon as she stood before her friend. Whimpering as the tall man scared him. Burying his face in her back. His hold innocent and childlike. Not at all what you would expect from a teenage male. He buried his face in her back and whimpered a bit. "Scary..." he said in a scared voice. Playing with a wet strand of hair that was laying near his hand in a very catlike way. He looked around Nyla at the man. Blinking fearful eyes at him. When he got near he bolted and crouched down beside Palmer. Picking him up and nuzzled him. Petting him gently. Purring happy his kitty friend was near. Tail swishing but still twitched at the end like he expected to be beat. He nodded his head. "me too! Me too!" he said. Running over and nuzzled nyla's shoulder purring. "Food? Food? Please?" He asked with tail out and swishing. Looking at her with adoring eyes. He adored her because she treated him like he was special. Not like he was a freak because he was a neko. "nyla...the shadow man hurts me in my dreams..." he said with a whimper.
