Blood stepped carefull and slowly into the village. She earned a few odd looks from the simple people, after all she was wearing quite the intricate dress. Luckily for her none of these people had been near the tower, none of them had spotted her singing to herself on one of the balconies. She glanced back at Cato.

He was also being stared at- Though that was probably by association. Approaching a small inn, two small human boys scowled at each other, pointing towards them and frowning. From the looks of things, they had obviously hoped to do something to Cato... But now could not, as to do something in the other 'freak's presence would likely get them punished for the fact. Instead, one of the boys disappeared, while the other crossed his arms and ignored the boy.
"Hnn..." Walking up to the two, Cato held out the telescope and made sure to quickly pocket it again. "H-Here's my proof! ...Bye!" Ignoring the blatant look of confusion (And shock) from the boy, Cato continued to lead Blood into the Inn, where a young woman was rushing around looking for him at that moment.
"Where.. Where..-"
"Um.."
The woman turned, glasses half falling off her face. "Cato! Oh... Oh oh Cato.." The woman ran over, holding him close. "Oh dear god where have you been..."
"Ahahaha..." The caretaker's glasses were off... She had probably only noticed Cato by voice, aha.. She couldn't see Blood at all could she...

"He got lost in the forest." Blood spoke up. "He stayed at my t... At my house for the night until the storm passed."

She stood, holding a hand out to shake. "Your house.. Thank you very much... I was very worried.. If there is any way to thank you for your trouble, any way at all.." She was definitely grateful...

"Well..." Blood paused a moment and then looked to Cato. "I understand Cato's an orphan... Under your care a presume?"

The woman blinked, her hand having been ignored. Oh well. "Why... Yes, yes he is... You are..." She put her glasses back on, catching Cato's smile as she did so. "You... You are here to adopt him?"

Blood nodded. "I hope I can at any rate. Yes."

Suddenly, the woman's face became serious. "Of course. I will go grab the papers, if you can wait at one of the tables in the room." She motioned around at the tables in the lobby, before disappearing to return with a small pile of forms with a pen.

Blood sat in one of the chairs at a table, smiling at Cato slightly. She did feel out of place a little, after all mobians were very much shorter than humans. But it didn't bother her that much, she had after all gone through it for her entire life in the mortal world. And that was a long time.

The woman sat down, and the interview began. In her hands, she held the paper that she was required to fill out for records sake, while beside her was the form that would complete the adoption. She began. "Alright. May I ask your name first? As well as your age, legal status, and current occupation."
(*quickly scans around for what else needs to be asked*)

"My full name is Blood Cadrehn... I am twenty one." The question was not an entire lie, that was the age she choose to say frozen in. "I do not understand the question, and unemployed I suppose."

Cato looked from the woman to Blood, waiting for the response.
As she jotted things down on the form, the woman didn't bat an eye. "Legal status refers to your current status in the world at the moment... In certain areas, mobians require a licence to reside in the area. Obviously a racist move however..." She marked something down, continuing as some forms were handed over with a pen. "This area does not require one, so the correct answer is 'Legal Citizen'. Now... I need you to fill these out, and tell me honestly your reasons to adopt Cato."

Blood looked over the papers VERY carefull. If there was anything her mother had taught her, it was to be very cautious when it came to contracts. "Why? Because he needs a home, and I think he'll be happier. I won't be on my own all the time... And I believe we are loosely related."

The woman jotted this down, nodding to herself, before filling out a few papers of her own. "Alright then... All there is left to do is fill out those papers then." Thank god for traditional adoptions that didn't do full background checks and fingerprint scans...

Blood looked those over carefully as well, but following instruction without much difficulty.
