Markus was well known to buy slaves. He bought slaves that deserved freedom, having done nothing wrong in their life, and he bought slaves that had been owners once, that had treated others horribly and deserved to suffer.

Children always were a weak spot for him. They never deserved to be here, being sold as slaves. And whenever he could, he would buy them, to free them. This time, it was no different.

“As you can see, I can’t. Tell me your price.”, Markus said, impatient as he crossed his arms. Oliver did look over the girl though, worried about her. She didn’t seem to be too well, so he hoped they could help.

“It’s a plush, they’re made for children. He’s there for you, to play and protect.”, Markus said and smiled softly. 
“I did. All the plushs I make are alive.”, he answered her and nodded. It was why his plush animals were so popular, and he was rather widely known.

“Of course.”, Markus replied and chuckled softly. “I’ll give you a towel to dry off, and then make you some food, hm?”, he suggested, walking off after taking off shoes and coat. He came back with a towel, giving it to the girl.

“Feel at home, and call for me if you need something.”, he said, lightly petting her hair, before going to the kitchen.

“Sounds like a plan!” She grinned before setting Noir down, she waited for him to bring the towel and when he did she started to dry herself off. “I will!” She started with her clothes. She looked around, so this was a home huh? It was comfortable.

Markus’ home wasn’t very big. He didn’t want it to be. He had a small living room with the kitchen next to it, he had a bathroom and his bedroom. He didn’t really need anything more than that.

There came a plush running through the rooms towards the kitchen, the body resembling a cat’s in a way, but it’s head had bunny ears. It had a long soft tail as well. It went to Markus, jumping onto his shoulders.

“Yup! Exactly!” She grinned. “Noir has been with me since I could remember. He’s helped me a lot. I’m glad you made him and others like him.” She gave Noir a kiss on the cheek and gave Markus’s hand a soft squeeze.

Markus smiled, glad she was so happy. He was glad she had a reason to be happy as well, seeing how she had no home.

After a little while longer of walking, they arrived at Markus home, where he led her inside.

“It’s not something you do without thinking.”, Markus replied. They were surrounded by magic, it was in their everyday life. From creating things to powering things to people using magic just out of fun, depending on what they did.

“It’s not surprising you don’t know a lot about it though. You weren’t really raised by anyone after all.”, he said and sighed softly, but smiled softly. “Magic grows inside of every person, like a plant. It pulses through you like a second heartbeat.”.

Markus chuckled lightly at how she was bouncing and hopping, not letting go of her hand. He was glad she didn’t focus on the cold and hunger anymore.

“I make plush animals.”, Markus answered her then. They had the same golden roses design on them as Markus had on his coat.

“So cool!” It was only then she noticed that Noir had the same pattern on him as the man’s coat, “You made Noir! See his tummy?” She held the cheetah up to him to show him. Reni was awestruck to meet the creator of her plushie.

“Oh!”, Markus chuckled softly, smiling. With his eyes closed he couldn’t see, but he could feel the traces of his magic inside of the plush. It would wilt soon, he could tell. A few more weeks probably and his magic wouldn’t keep the plush alive anymore.

“I’m glad you love Noir so much.”, he said with a smile.

She looked to him with a wide eyed look of wonder, “Wow! That sounds amazing Markus! Can you teach me?!” She tugged his arm excitedly. “Maybe you can help me unlock it or whatever!” She then thought a moment, “Like a plant huh? What does yours look like?” She asked.

Markus laughed softly, fondly. She was so adorable.

“I can show you at home.”, he answered then, squeezing her hand gently. “I don’t know if I can help you free your magic, but I can help tell you how it generally feels. It’s different for everyone though.”.

“I’ll make you something to eat once we’re at my home, alright?”, Markus replied softly, with a soft smile.
“It’s nice to meet you, Serenity.”, he chuckled softly. She was an adorable child.

“Thank you Mr. Markus sir!” She said, she liked this man. He was the nicest man she met. She was lucky that not everyone was bad.

“Just Markus is enough.”, Markus said and chuckled softly, smiling warmly. She was so adorable! He was happy she was so happy, just being with him.

“Do you use your magic?”, he asked then, curious. She was ten already, though with no parents and apparently no one else, she probably hadn’t figured out how to free her magic to use it.
