"The usual," Kira replied. "Trying to get caught up, doing a bit of reading, avoiding killer lycans and other such beings. Normal stuff."
She shrugged, not sure how "normal" what she had just described was. Well, the homework, sure, but lycans? How many sixteen-year-olds had to worry about whether they were going to be someone's next meal?
Dante's next question took her slightly by surprise, and it took her a moment to gather her thoughts enough to respond.
"Well, Ashlle got a puppy," she started. "And I got a... well, a guide dog, I guess."
Aiko trotted back to her side at the mention of a "guide dog," sitting patiently beside her mistress. Kira motioned the dog toward Dante, the German Shephard moving toward the girl to nudge her hand.
"This is Aiko," Kira said, introducing the dog to Dante.

Ashlle noticed the two girls talking together and realized correctly that the other was blind as well. Not wishing to sneak up on the new girl Ashlle made some deliberately heavy steps toward her. "Hello" she said quietly so as not to startle. "I am Ashlle and I arranged to have Aiko brought to Kira. I'm giving out Christmas presents to all who want them today. Would you like one?"
The moment Ashlle had finished the sentence the thought crossed her mind to give Dante the Talking Cane. Now that Kira didn't need it any more it technically belonged to the Hospital Wing again. Still it wasn't right to just pick it up from where Kira had dropped it. If Dante said she would like a gift Ashlle would simply have to suggest it to Kira and then give Dante a gift from her own 'give away' pile as well.

"Hello and it is very kind of you to offer me a gift and though I have nothing to give you in return I'm afraid." Dante said a bit regretfuly. When people gave to her she liked to give back. She turned back to Kira. "I've been trying to avoid the lycans aswell but trying is the key word there its not working very well." Dante laughed a small bit it wasn't really funnt except in the fact that it was true.

A sudden thought struck Kira, causing her to rise quickly form where she knelt next to Aiko. The dog followed her movements, jumping up from where she had laid down on the floor. Turning toward the table, she reached her hand out, feeling for the cane she had left there. Finding nothing, she let out a reluctant "OK."
"Physical contact is required for the Talking Cane to operate. Please make contact before issuing commands," the Seeing Cane's voice rang out over the nearby din. With a grin, Kira snapped the stick up, turning back to Dante.
"Here," she said to the girl, holding out the cane. "Perhaps you can put this to good use."
Stepping back after placing the object in Dante's hands, Kira turned to Ashlle.
"I hope you don't mind," she whispered hesitantly. "But I think she has more use for it than I did."

Dante felt somthing smooth in her hands and tried to figure out exactly what it was. It was a gift but Dante couldn't see it. " What is...well it feels like wood but what does it do." Dante asked shyly. She rarely got gifts and she wasn't sure what this one was for.

"Of course I don't mind," said Ashlle cheerily to Kira. "I was actually thinking of asking you to give her the Talking Cane myself. I suppose great minds think alike, eh?" Smiling, thought she knew neither of them could see it she turned back to Dante. " 'It' is a cane and 'it' talks." Said Ashlle answering her question. "It was found in the lake awhile ago, and I gave it to Kira to help her get around. It can tell you how to get around without banging into anything. It can give you directions, for example if you are in your Dorm and you wish to get to the Great Hall for Breakfast, It will give you specific direction on how to get there. If you bump into anything it will warn you what the object is and not to do it again, you can probably ask Kira about that, she has experienced that one first hand." Ashlle well remembered how Kira had sat at the wrong table and a boy had tried to put a pudding on her head. Even though Kira'd not known why Ashlle had told the boy to stop, she'd whacked his ankles anyway and the cane had said "Collision with a Slytherin Third Year's right shin, Collision with a Slytherin Third Year's left shin. Please try to avoid collisions.""When you want to activate the Cane simply say 'OK', and if it is in your hand it will tell you what's around you. If you give further instructions like 'Ok, take me to the Library's Braille section' it can get you there." OOC: If you want to see who the Cane has worked in the past I suggest you read: mgckalhrizn.proboards35.com/index.cgi?board=great&action=display&thread=1126822165&page=1 & mgckalhrizn.proboards35.com/index.cgi?board=hospital&action=display&thread=1125471562&page=2And I'm sure Kira can recommend other threads she's used the cane in. It really can become a character in it's own rite if you want it to.

(( This one is the only other one I could come up with. Kira really hasn't done as much as I thought. Is This It? is probably the best example. Sorry, no IC to add right now, but I'll edit later))

((OOC: Oh ok then)) "Thank you very much.." Was all Dante could think to say. she had never in her life been given a present, and now she had nothing to give in return. Wait! She reached in her Kimono sleeve and pulled out the two identical crystal necklaces. They had belonged to her parents but all they did was make her sad she would give them to the two girls. "Here," She began handing them to the girls. "They were my parents but I don't want them anymore, whenever you lost in day or night hold it up to the sun or moon and you will be found." Dante sais quietly.

Ashlle was shocked that Dante would give up a family heirloom like that but, if she really didn't 'want them any more' than who was Ashlle to tell her to keep them? "Oh -er- thank you, said Ashlle taking one of the necklaces. "It's very beautiful." Ashlle didn't wish to wear the necklace now as it was far to beautiful for everyday wear. So instead she pocketed it and motioned for one of the delivery men to bring over a set of the medium sized boxes all stacked one on top of the other. "That must have cost a fortune, and to just give it away? I'm not sure I have anything that equals that. Please accept this gift from me, seeing as the Speaking Cane is from Kira." Inside the boxes were all sorts of chocolate and white chocolate delights.

((OOC: I love chocolate!)) Dante smelled chocolate and smiled she loved chocolate. It was something she didn't have much though. "Thank you so very much, chocolate is one of my favorite sweets, and these seem very expensive." Dante gave a slight bow as she was very grateful. She loved sweets.

"Ah," said Ashlle glowing happily. "Your welcome. Today is a day for making others happy and I just wanted to get into the spirit. Money is no object for me, I'm a pureblood."
But soon her smile faded. Barely anyone had lined up to get a gift. Ashlle had never realized how few friends she had. She also never realized how selfless others were not to take advantage of her free gifts. Maybe they thought there were strings attached to this. They were much mistaken. Ashlle may not be doing it out of the goodness of her heart, but she certainly had no other motive than to see if she could make herself happy by giving - as the Christmas theory went.
Suddenly her Christmas Puppy Raiku let out a yelp of pain. A Slytherin had accidentally tread on her tail and now the pup was crying mournfully, the way Malamute's often do, it almost sounded like a language. The sound of it rent Ashlle's heart in two. Swiftly she ran to the puppy and picked her up, comforting her by petting her fur and holding her close. Raiku soon forgot her hurt under Ashlle's tender touch and began to lick Ashlle's face.
This was something Ashlle had never experienced before. No one and nothing had ever loved her within her memory. She stared into space as Raiku liked her chin, unsure of just what to do, besides to keep petting her.
