From the shadows Chat had been watching people come and go. Talking amongst each other. Good friends. Something he had never had on the Isle. The idea of friends had made him curious but he dared not move from the spot in the shadows. It was the only place where people couldn't see his ears or his "modifications" as his father had called them. Modifications, the old man didn't know what he was talking about. These were a curse.
Even at class he had seen people staring at them. He had tried to hide it the best he could, but the stares made him uncomfortable and angry. He wasn't the only one who was different. Why stare at him?! His ears twitched. Someone was coming. Coming towards him!
Slowly the boy crawled deeper into the shadows, keeping his hands close to his chest.

Irma had spotted something moving in the shadows, and curiosity got he better of her. In the cathedral, something moving in the shadows usually meant that Victor, Hugo, and Leverne were playing hide and seek with her. Stepping in front of the shadows, she peered into the darkness "Why are you hiding?"

Chat's eyes glowed in the dark as he took in the speaker's appearance. A girl. He had seen her around before, but didn't know exactly who she was. Not that it mattered, he tried to avoid meeting anyone. What would he say? No one had ever spotted him before, she was obviously really good at sensing things. "No reason." he said, quietly but loud enough for her to hear.
Liar.

Quasimodo had told his daughter all about Frollo and staying in the bell tower by himself for so many years. She tucked a lock of hair behind her ear and jokingly smiled "If you stay in the dark like that, you'll become a hermit."

Chat hesitated, in reality he wanted to be out in the light but the judgement he might recieve from this girl was too much. She didn't look like the type to judge him but he didn't like being in doubt. Slowly, he stood up and moved slowly into the light, trying to hide his discomfort.

Irma noticed the cat-like features and realized why the boy had been hiding in the shadows in the first place. She smiled "Doesn't that feel better? Much better than hiding away?"

He blinked a bit in surprise, he rubbed the back of his neck, not sure what to say or even if he needed to say anything. Most people had various reactions to his ears, or at least the few kids who did notice, he tried to ignore the stares but he knew that they talked about it.
"I guess, I actually kind of like the dark." He tried to smile, it wasn't much but a little one did appear on his face

"I can understand that, but that dark would only hurt you later." She patted him on the back, like she would anyone else "What's got you so down?"

The instant the hand fell on his back, the boy jumped back, into a position that most cats would do. He had to control himself to make sure that his claws didn't come out. It wasn't her fault. She wasn't going to hurt him. "Please don't ....don't touch me." he said, trying to control his vocie from shaking.
"I am not used to people that's all."

Irma quickly yanked her hand back and placed her hands up in a surrender like state "Sorry, bud. Didn't know." She then smiled "You just have to get used to them then. It takes time."

He titled his head to the side before looking at her again. His tense shoulders relaxed as he slowly stood up. "No, its not your fault. Just...some bad experiences that's all." He was trying not to react to the touch of anyone, but after what had happened, Chat couldn't really blame himself for feeling skittish.
"I haven't really gotten a chance to spend time with people. Back home anyways, it was just me and my fa-" he stopped himself, he hated calling that man his father. "Me and my dad." He rubbed his neck again. "...Can we start over?"

"Why not? I'm Irma, Quasimodo's daughter." She held a hand out "Nice to meet ya."

Chat hestitated as he held out his hand, trying to be careful about his claws. "I'm Chat, Chat Noir, though you can just call me Chat."

Irma shook his hand "Nice to meet you ki-" she stopped midsentence, about to call him 'Kitty Cat', not in a mean way, but in a joking manner. But she stopped herself when she realized that was probably why he was hiding "Chat Noir." She ended her sentence correctly.

Chat looked at her for a moment, blinking. He knew that she had almost called him Kitty. It was a mistake quite a few people made. At least she was kind enough to correct her mistake. "I'm sorry for hiding from you." he muttered. "A few people haven't taken kindly to my...." he looked up at his ears that twitched. "Modificiations."
