*People crowded the beach, it was a nice warm summer day and everyone was there. Colorful umbrellas lined the beach as well as playing children and tanning teenagers. The waves crashed to the beach as kids either ran from them or let the wave hit them head on.*
*Chez was there, because it was a good place to get stuff to eat, especially since people didn't pay attention to it. But at this moment he was sitting under a dark umbrella that he had found waiting to get thrown away. He wore a grey t shirt and long dark wash jeans. his shoes were worn and looked like they had been though a lot. He also had his left arm wrapped, from some punks who picked a fight with him the day before.*
This sucks.
*He was not ashamed to say it out loud, a few people did give him strange looks but he was used to it.*

Tokra didn't know why he was at the beach, he had just started walking to clear his head and he wound up there. His mind, however, was elsewhere with more then it's share of thoughts. Something had happened to Ayden at the ruins, something bad, and who ever else was there was no doubt in trouble. Now the man that killed his parents was trying to take over the world and the brotherhood and X-men were making peace with each other. He rubbed his shoulders absently, still feeling the scars that were made by Cain. He turned and looked over the beach, breathing in the salt air as he let his thoughts wander.
Faolan, the young wolf that had grown more attached to Tokra during Ayden's absence, padded along with the young mutant. When Tokra turned and faced the beach, the wolf walked over towards his right side and sat. Tokra absently scratched behind the young wolf's ear, which it of course didn't mind at all, licking Tokra's hand in thanks.
"I don't know what to do, boy. Everything's falling apart and I feel more lost then ever." he looked to the young wolf as he spoke, the wolf nuzzling his hand with a small whimper. Tokra gave a small smile at this. "Thanks buddy, glad to know you've got my back."

*Chez couldn't take it anymore. He hated feeling invisible, but he always felt that way. He didn't belong anywhere, with anyone. No one cared for him or what he did. People didn't remember him, he didn't even think that mirror girl remembered who he was or even remembered that insentient. He stood up, closing the umbrella and starting to walk away. Spotting a boy that he was heading towards Chez went slightly to an angle so that he wouldn't run into him, or his dog. The kid looked lost in thought and seemed to have just as much problems as he did.*

He was so lost in thought, in fact, that he didn't notice the boy walking towards him, and didn't notice him changing direction. Faolan on the other hand noticed more then anybody. He panted and started barking, causing Tokra to jump from his thoughts and look down a little irritated at the wolf.
"Faolan chill out, quit your barking or you'll get us in trouble."
He shook his head as the wolf whimpered at him. He hated it when Faolan whimpered and whined, it always made him feel like he was scolding a crying child. He then looked up and saw the person who was nearby, walking around them. Trying to make sure he didn't seem rude, he gave the stranger a small smile.

*Chez jumped when he herd the dog barking. He then looked at the dog and it's owner as the boy tried to silence it. He didn't think that was very interesting but kept watching. When the boy gave him a small smile Chez was shocked. People rarely smiled at him, but he got one or two in the past, but one of them just wanted a fight, and was louring Chez into a trap. But nonetheleass Chez did half way smile back at him. He wasn't good at meeting people so he just stood there.*

He noticed the boy was now standing there looking at him with his own smile. Well at least it's better then nothing. They stood there for a few moments just looking at eachother, and it started to make him a little uneasy. Why wasn't this guy saying anything? Faolan looked from one to the other and decided he was going to make the first move. Tokra tried to stop him, but the young wolf walked over to the boy and started sniffing around him.
Tokra was more then a little worried that the cub might decide to do to the boy what it usually did to a tree after sniffing around it. But instead it just sat infront of the young man and panted with his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Tokra had learned that it was Faolans way of saying the person was alright.
"He wants you to pet him." Tokra finally said, walking up to the person, "Don't worry, he only bites when he doesn't like someone."

*Chez was shocked and drew his atention from the boy to the dog. It was a strange creature. Cats usualy like him more than dogs did. He crotched down so that he was closer to the dogs level and set his hand on it's head, after they boy had nemtioned it.*
I'm not worried about getting hurt.
*His bandage was in plane sight as he pet the dog.*
My name is Chez, by the way
*He thought it would be a good idea to get a name, and usually if you give your name they give their's. At least that was what Chez had observed wile watching people meet each other.*

Tokra smiled when the man, who soon after introduced himself as Chez, knelt down to pet Faolan. He placed his hands in his pocked as Foalan tilted his head in the different directions, indicating where he would like to be scratched next. Tokra still couldn't understand how a young wolf could be so protective, yet such a baby at times to. He saw the bandage on Chez's hand, but didn't make any real notice about it.
"I'm Tokra, and my "brave and courageous" friend here is Faolan."

*Chez recognized the want for the other side to be scratched. So he moved his hand to where he thought the dog wanted to be scratched. He looked up to Torka, it was a strange name, but so was his, so there was no wonder if it was real or not. He actually didn't care.*
So do you come here often?
*He didn't so he wasn't sure if this was a walking trail or just a day out.*

He knelt down and began scratching Faolan's side. This caused the wolf to collapse like a young pup onto the ground, turning on his side as the attention came from both of them. Tokra just gave a half smile and a small laugh as the wolf did this, knowing that deep down Faolan was just your average puppy when it all boiled down to it. When Chez asked him about coming here often, he looked up.
"Not often, in fact I was just out walking. Guess I spaced out, cuz the next thing I knew I was here."

*Chez was surprised to here that he spaced out and came here on a whim.*
Interesting, I don't come here much either, but I'm probably going to be leaving this area in the next few days so I decided to check it out.
*But it was as he thought, he didn't belong there either. At this rate, he felt like he didn't belong anywhere.*

"Oh? Any place in particular?"
He had to sympathize with Chez's thoughts of getting out of here. It had been that way most of his life after the town had blamed him for his parents , causing him to leave. He was debating on leaving himself, having not seen Ayden since the incident in the woods, but he knew that Faolan wouldn't want to leave without finding her again.

*Chez shruged.*
Maybe west, just someplace I can fit I guess. I'm a traveler.
*Saying that was better than saying that he had no place to go. Also a better way than saying that he had no money, had a few gangs after him and no one would be effected if he left.*

To be a traveler again. Sounded like a dream to him, back when he had no worries, when he didn't know who had killed his parents. It was just him and whatever the world threw at him. That was how he met Ayden and the Runaways. He smiled as he looked to Faolan, who sat up and looked at him back, giving a small bark as if to give him the answer he was looking for. He nodded with a smile.
"Say, you wouldn't mind some company would you? I could use some traveling."

*He wanted to come with him?! Chez was shocked. No one ever wanted to go with him.*
It's probebly rougher than you immagion.
*To be honest, Chez would love to have a partner to travel with him, but he knew that people didn't like him, and they would try to kill him, he couldn't reviel that he was a mutant, not to this guy.*
I'm not even sure that I will be leaving.
