Alyssa stood away from the small crowd that had gathered around the cage, her arms folded tightly over her chest. She was slightly nervous, the woman really didn't like being around too many people, really. A soft sigh came from her, as she tried to calm her rapidly beating heart. It seemed this was one thing she'd never get used to, being out and about with more than a few others around. Though, practice makes perfect, if she could just get good at it, it wouldn't matter if she was comfortable or not, right?<br/><br/>So, she forced herself into the group, gingerly moving through the tight spaces, not wanting to so much as touch anyone else. Finally, she stood outside the cage, and got a good look at the catboy inside.<br/><br/>Her eyes travailed along his body, and watched the tail that seemed to be in constant movement. She leaned against the bars, ignoring the sign that warned otherwise. She'd rather risk him scratching her up than having one of the strangers pop her personal bubble.<br/><br/>Truthfully, she'd never shown interest in owning something like this. But it had been years since her parents, well, step parents, had died in that accident. She....she had no interest in returning to a situation like<em>that,</em>but still. One got lonely after a while. The house they'd left her was big, especially for a single person. She only had a couple friends, none of which she was particularly close to. Actually, it had been one of them that had alerted her to this little sale, knowing that she didn't have anyone else. She'd have to remember to repay her, somehow. Even if she didn't get the catboy.<br/><br/>It wasn't a matter of money. Being the sole owner of a toy factory she had more than enough. The question was, was she ready to take this step? She was sure she could care for him properly, but....<br/><br/>The crowd began to thin slightly, none of them interested in him enough to buy. She supposed it might have been because he was male, as females seemed to be more popular, though she couldn't have been sure.
