Kage shuffled along the street, his feet still keeping him moving despite the tired throbbing. He gave a sigh as he stopped, looking about for a moment. A small, quaint pair of buildings caught his attention. Had they been there before? He read the signs and after an affirmation from his stomach, he stepped up to the bakery. The bell on the door gave a little chime as it opened and closed behind him.
"Hello?" he called out into the dimly lit room. He looked about, then walked over to the case by the register. Several small, strange-looking muffins sat, still steaming hot behind the glass. "Hm... strange. Is anyone here? Hello!" He called again. After a few moments of silence, a rattle of a breath sounded from somewhere in the room, sending a chill down Kage's spine. He froze, body tense as he looked for the source of the sound, but finding none. His heart began to race as the strange breathing echoed off the walls again, making him jump some. Before he knew it, his legs were carrying him out the door and into the Inn next door, the heavy wood door slamming shut behind him.
He was greeted by the stares of the few patrons of the establishment, a blush creeping up his neck. He cleared his throat, smiling sheepishly as he slid away from the door and slunk to a corner of the room, plopping down into the wooden chair.
((wow, that got wordy... oops))
