Story (Krissy #4)

Allistar



Allistar started at the boy with the yarn. "Hey you're a puppeteer, Ive read about your kind in demon books, i never knew it was real... do all puppeteers wear professional like clothing like you?"
Allistar began to compare his white loose shirt and his rather dark brown pants with the puppeteers clothing. His own clothes seemed to look rather pathetic next to the smartly coated young man. The boy stared at Allistars clothing with a strange look on his face.
"So plain" he said.
"You know, i don't get what ya mean by different worlds"
" I think the old man means we each come from a universe"
"Whats a universe?"
"...the world is a sphere and lots of differen-"
"The world isn't a sphere, its flat" Allistar insisted. He came from the medieval times so he really wasn't up to date with astronomy.
The young girl had stopped struggling in the boys arms and stared at Allistar.
"The moon is a sphere, don't you think the earth should be the same? She said.
"No, every morning god creates the sun then creates the moon" Allistar replied stubbornly. He would not accept someone telling him that the world was a sphere.
"God isn't-" she began but was immediately shushed by the boy next to her.
"So we wait for the other so called heroes" Scarlette said as they all sat down on the floor staring in to blank space like bored toy less children. The boy had began to show Allistar and Scarlette tricks with his strings. Allistar was quite amazed and was assured by the boy it was not sorcery.
"Where did you find such a fine coat young lad"
"I made it" he replied.
"Ah, the son of a seamstress, fine talent"
"No i just do it as a hobby, fun making shirts"
"Could you make me some clothes?"
"I can't be bothered"
"I thought  you said it was fun"
"Requires a lot of work though"
The conversation went on about different types of fabric and sewing techniques. Allistar thought he was beginning to make a new friend. He found this young boy very useful. Could sew, could entertain people with puppetry and Allistar thought he could make a man out of this teenage puppeteer.
