Damian came running out of the store with the shopkeeper right behind him. He turned down a dark alley and ducked into an abandoned building as the shopkeeper ran past. Damian watched the guy then went over and lit a fire in the firepit he had made. He removed a can of pop, a bag of chips and a candy bar from several pockets on his silver and black vest before sitting down to eat his meager meal

Raven had been walking along the streets when he hears the crumpling of a bag of chips. He stops, his work bag and lunch box in hand, and turns his head in the direction of the noise. That's when his eyes land on the back of a male whom is crouched in front of a sad looking fire.
Now, Raven isn't the type to bother strangers, but this young adult before him pulls at his already taunt heart strings. He silently pads forward, "Hello?" His voice gentle and his presence now known.

Damian tenses and spins around when he hears the person behind him, thinking he had been caught by the shopkeeper or the police. he relaxes a bit when he notices the guy isn't either, but only a bit. The guy could still be here to hurt him like so many others have tried to do. "Hi. You want something?"

"What are you doing?" Raven says simply and frowns. "That meal can not surely be healthy."

"probably not, but I don't have any money and this is the only kind of stuff that will fit in my pockets so I can steal them. I'm doing what I've been doing for six years, trying to stay alive the best I can."

Raven frowns, sighs and tosses the kid his lunch, "Its a turkey, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoe sandwich. An orange, and a tall bottle of coke. All yours."

Damian looked skeptical as he took the lunch and opened it up. "What's the catch, what do you want from me?" He always expected someone to want something when they gave him anything.

'For you to eat it," Raven says with another sigh. "You shouldn't be out here like this... Where's your family? Your friends? A lover? Someone to take care of you?"

"My family was killed, I have no friends or lover. I have no one." Damian started to hungerly eat the food. "Thank you sir. I've haven't had normal food sense my parents died." He didn't even remember what foods he liked or didn't like, but it was obvious he liked this.

Raven sighs again and shakes his head, "Okay then... Do you need a place to stay?"

Damian looked around. "This is my home. It's not much and... I get sick when it gets cold out even when I have a fire going, but it's mine. Why? You going to give me a place to stay so I can get out of this?"

Raven nods, "Wouldyou mind coming with me to the university for the day?"

"No sir, I won't mind at all." He finished eating and stood up, kicking dirt on the fire to put it out. "Do we go now?" Damian looks aorund to make sure he wasn't forgetting anything before walking ovr to the man and waiting for him to lead the way.
