<strong>Town Square</strong>- Anice Xantelli<br/><br/>"Okay, food it is!" Anice said.<br/><br/>There were vendors with powered carts who could sell hot dogs, ice cream, burgers, and sodas among the more traditional vendors who sold raw or cooked fish, coconuts, fruits from the island plantations, etc. There were many foods produced on the island, much more than one would think, though the source of the food was sometimes suspect. She bought him an imported hot dog and a fried Mahi Mahi piece along with some mango juice to make up the locally produced foods. For herself, she stuck with a burger and a coke, she liked the things that reminded her of home.<br/><br/>"Go ahead, eat up," she said, "I didn't want you to have to walk around in dirty clothes so I took the liberty of changing them for you. I hope you don't mind."<br/><br/>Anice blushed a little, he was far to nice a person for Maria to get a hold of. A bite of her burger went into her mouth, it was well done and very good but she had to be careful not to eat to many lest she start gaining weight. It would be a good deed if someone was spared from Maria, so Anice decided to do it even if it might be wrong. She concentrated a little a made her mark on Alex, it wasn't physical and he wouldn't feel it, but any other Xantelli who tried to take him would see a big 'property of Anice' sign in their head if they tried to torment him. For a long time she had been afraid to use her powers, but she had reasoned that if it was to spare someone worthy from a worse fate it was the right thing to do.<br/><br/>"I saw you in a shipment bound for the Bed & Breakfast run by Maria," Anice explained, "I didn't think it was right that you were among them. You looked too innocent and to proud. So I decided you should come along with me. I'm really sorry, and I can't say much, well actually I can because you're my.... well.... paid servant from now on, okay. I don't know how you ended up in this situation, but I'm really sorry."<br/><br/>Anice played with her food a bit and looked away as if worried about what he would think.
