Allegra found her smile fading slightly and she looked at Kayne sympathetically. She felt bad when people lost loved ones. She couldn't even imagine living without her parents. Sure, they were annoying and clingy and protective. But they loved her and they were there. That's all that really mattered.<br/><br/>"Sorry about your mum..." she mumbled, not wanting to push the conversation and put him in a sad mood. "She sounds great. I like chocolate better, honestly. But I don't dislike fudge."<br/><br/>After purchasing some extra Skittles, the pair walked to Kayne's lovely old car and loaded the groceries in the back. Allegra got in the passenger seat and smiled, as Kayne spoke up.<br/><br/>"Next stop, the hunting shop, eh? Gotta get a 9mm for anti-insect defence measures!"<br/><br/>"Damn right. The sooner we get those things out of there, the sooner I'll sleep soundly, not having nightmares of scorpions in my sandwich," she replied, shuddering slightly, giving a nervous laugh. "Once they're out, we can give the place a makeover. You're lucky. Making and fixing things, making them look pretty, is what I do."
