Julian was still making an effort to catch Killer's words, but Shay's ears were much more sensitive. She allowed what she heard to link freely to Julian's mind, making the strain of having to listen much easier.
"... look, call whoever you want, I cant answer an questions, I cant remember anything about my life"
"Liar," Julian snapped coldly. But Shay hushed him.
"I think he's crying."
"What?" Incredulous, Julian edged closer to the door, making sure to nudge the money along with his foot. When he caught the sound of Killer's muffled sobs his eyes widened briefly in surprise, then he erased this look to one of cool impassiveness. In one deft movement he scooped the bundle of money off the ground and stowed it in his pocket. His hand moved habitually to where his lighter and cigarettes were in his jacket pocket, but he stopped himself, thinking the fox dæmon's boy probably wouldn't appreciate him smoking in the shop. His other option was to go outside, but that was not about to happen, no matter how stressed out he was.
So all he did was observe tersely, "The guy's a great actor."

A girl came out of the forest, crawling on all fours like an animal. Her hand hit pavement, and she stopped, looking at her surroundings.
"Rahrah oor rawr?" she muttered to her daemon, a large black wildcat beside her.
"Rawr reerur Ur," her daemon muttered back.
There was some noise from far away, and both girl and daemon jumped up. The girl switched to two legs, and started running, her daemon pounding beside her as a wolf. They ran as far as they could and stopped when they saw a person standing outside a door. There were other people in the room, as the girl could see through the windows. They were all making strange noises, and she was frightened to the point where she was frozen to the ground, unable to move. Luckily, no one noticed her, and she circled the building.
There were some other windows back here, and she couldn't see any people through them. She tapped one with her finger, drawing back when she heard the noise it made. She went back and tapped it harder, her desire to know what substance it was made of overcoming her fear. She tapped harder and harder until she was punching the window, and it broke suddenly, the resulting crash making her daemon jump and turn into a weasel, burrowing into her arms.

Killer, wiped the tears from his face when he heard the window break open. "There's not a house withing 50 miles! that must've been a window to this building" he said as he bagan to circle the building. suddenly he saw (whats your characters name?) standing by the window. He shoved her aside and jumped into the building, forgotten colesly behind him. forgotten landed on him and he swatted her aside, and called her a stupid wolf. Then he looked around to Julian. "you... I recognise your face, can you tell me what I am, what my past is, and what the hell happened?"

(ooc) My character's name is Ur. Well, at least that's what her daemon calls her.
Ur shrieked as she was roughly shoved aside by Killer. She watched him jump through the window and followed slowly and cautiosly.
"you... I recognise your face, can you tell me what I am, what my past is, and what the hell happened?"
"Wattahellappened," said Ur, mimicking Killer without knowing what he said. She crawled through the window and landed on Killer. She growled at him and her daemon flew through the window as an eagle, then changed into a leopard in midair and landed next to Ur, his claws piercing Killer's skin.

Killer cried in agony as soon as the eagle's talons pierced his skin. "Get him off... all I want is answers" he said as Ur pinned him to the ground and her dæmon was clawing him.

Ur had the strangest sensation as Rahrah fell on Killer. Hei changed from a leopard into a small, sandy brown cat, and she pulled him off the boy and hugged him, glad that he was no longer touching anyone but her. She sat in the corner, watching the other people while cuddling her daemon and growling occasionally at him, in a language they alone understood.

The second Julian heard the window smash he froze, then Killer appeared.
"you... I recognise your face, can you tell me what I am, what my past is, and what the hell happened?"
He said nothing. Help came suddenly in the form of a strange, feral-looking girl with an unsettled dæmon. Once he saw that Killer was distracted Julian darted back into the rows of bookshelves, his heart pounding.
"We have to stop running," he murmured, leaning against one shelf.
Shay wound around his legs. 'Would you rather fight?' she thought to him.
'No ... for the first time in my life.' He sighed and absent-mindedly pulled the alethiometer from his jacket pocket, taking in its every small detail. Realization struck him like a thunderbolt. 'Wait - this is a truth-teller, right?'
'It can tell us if he's lying or not,' finished Shay.
Julian briefly rubbed it with his sleeve - not that it needed it, it was already gleaming - and, feeling foolish, muttered, "Is he telling the truth?"
The alethiometer reacted instantly, its dials spinning around in a blurring pattern. Julian stared, bewildered. It was too fast to follow. How could anyone read this thing? 'Well,' he thought to Shay at last, 'it's not saying "serpent", I can see that much.'
'Then maybe he's not lying.'
They exchanged a glance. At length, Julian placed the truth-teller back in his pocket. "We've stayed here too long," he said aloud. Shay nodded, leading the way back to the front door. They paused before leaving the safety of the bookshelves.
"Ready?" the sand cat dæmon asked. When Julian nodded affirmation, she hesitated, then hissed, "Go! Now!"
He bolted. Lunging past Tobias and Vulpes, he swiftly unlocked the door and ran out onto the street with a speed born of desperation. Shay raced alongside him as always. This time, he had to lose Killer. He couldn't let his dæmon be snatched a third time; it was more than he could handle.

Ur finally got over the shock of having her daemon touched, and she got up and clambered back out the window. Rahrah turned into an eagle again and followed her. Once ouside, hei turned into a panther and glanced around, making sure it was safe. They snuck silently around the building, Ur crawling on all fours like she was used to. Once around front, they could see Julian and Shay, far away and running. Ur looked in all directions and growled to Rahrah.
"Oor keeka, Rahrah?"
"Aro," said Rahrah, pointing a safe-looking direction with his tail.
They set off, Rahrah changing into his tiger form in case any danger came, and Ur crawling on all fours and sniffing the air occasionally, her ears peeled for even the slightest sound. She pulled some meat out of her pouch to eat, and listened hard. She heard water nearby, and headed towards the faint sound.
(ooc: she's going to the fens)

Killer was alone in the room by Tobias after everyone left the store.
"please" he muttered.
