[from here]Just like the previous time she came here, Anise found herself gravitating toward the toy store, drawn by the displays in the front window. She already owned one of their prettier dolls, thanks to her doctor, and she was satisfied with that, though she hadn't had a chance to really browse back then. Today, she wanted to get a better look

"Oh my pork!" Porky yelped when he heard the little girl's voice. He nearly dropped the stuffed pig he had been holding, but instead clutched it even tighter. As his eyes darted around, searching for what had spoken to him, Porky pressed the pig to his chest, almost like a child holding on to his teddy bear for reassurance. Once he spotted the little girl, however, he relaxed.

"Oh, you frightened me..." Porky sighed, "You really should have just tapped me on the shoulder or something. I could have had a heart attack!"

Peh. Idiot. Nearly giving Porky an aneurysm just to find out if he liked toys, too. And what a stupid question! Was there anyone on the earth that didn't like toys? Only a heartless jerk, probably.

"Yeah, I like toys." Porky said quietly, looking down at the stuffed pig he was holding, "I was thinking that maybe I could get a small one for free here, what with it being a nice, homey sort of store, but I doubt anyone would give some random old guy a toy for free. A kid, maybe, but not some old man."

Porky sighed. He doubted that anyone would have given him anything even if he had been a kid. People hadn't liked him then, so why should it change now?

"My name's Porky." he stated plainly, still staring down at the pig, "Nice to meet you."
