After passing by the thrift store, she picked up a few things that fit her a little better and were a little warmer. Sleeping inside the cold Clock Tower wasn't really healthy for her, but she found it more comforting because she'd been hiding there now a days. Merope found a black zipper sweatshirt with a hood, a deep violet dress and a pair of pants and sneakers, a bit more comfortable than what she wore before.

While she hadn't seen Rorshach, she figured that she would find him eventually. Her own thoughts caused her to wander a little, coming into the Carnival area and looking over the muggle items. Each small thing caused her to think of Tom, quickly becoming upset to some degree and shaking her head.

You filthy whore, you witch! I don't want you. Did you really think I would? She heard Tom's voice and instead of trying to react, she tensed her body and ended up sobbing when she gazed down at her empty stomach. While she thought and punished herself internally, her eyes fixated on a small, old, unwashed teddy bear prize and she pulled it out. Merope looked over it as if she were looking in a mirror, her body pulling the bear closer to her in a squeeze.

Due to being so unused to kindness, she watched him remove his gloves and offer them directly to her. She felt overwhelming emotion and was unsure if she was actually allowed to have them or if they would be ripped away for laughs. "A-Are you sure? I don't want to put you out..." She bit down on her bottom lip, gripping onto the stuffed plushy bear.

"It's not too bad," She moved her mouth a little to the right. Being that she was homeless before coming here, she was used to freezing without such warmth. "I lived in worse."

"It's fine," Domeki responded, shaking his head. It made him a bit sad, in a vague sort of way, to see someone who was so surprised by a simple gesture of kindness but that only made him feel all the more determined to make sure that she was alright. "I can keep my hands warm by keeping them in my pockets and there are other gloves back at the thrift store that I can use later on."

"I think he looks pretty safe," Cheryl confided in a mock whisper. She eyed the kid up and down for a moment but even her own deep paranoia couldn't find anything to complain about. True, he did appear to be carrying a weapon but that seemed to be more a sign of sanity in a place like this rather than the opposite. Then again, she could just be thinking that since she was armed herself. "Better than having your fingers get frostbite anyway, right?"

"Yea? You must've come from someplace really cold," Cheryl responded with a slight laugh. Wrapping her arms around herself, she did her best not to shiver against the weather. "I don't think it ever got this bad in Portland."

Merope waited until he was positive before she even took them from the man and put the mittens on her hands. While Merope didn't like men really, she always found it better to stand next to them as she was so used to them being the leader in the situation. She would prefer not take any side or speak simply because she felt she had to.

"It was December Thirty-first. I was homeless." Merope didn't say more than that, she felt they didn't need to know.
