Fuuka Yamagishi ✽>> 001

[angelicvoice]

Who: Fuuka and Zelos
When: After this conversation.
Where: Around Vatheon :D
Status: Closed!

*Five minutes early. Well waiting wasn't so bad, she supposed. Leaning against the coral, she stares up at the waters above.

Meeting a total stranger face-to-face is rather nervous task for her, but she'll try her best to, in a way, fulfill her duties. Come to think of it, this is her first time doing anything else a Welcoming Committee member, isn't it? She hope she can do a good job of guiding him.

She checks her communicator - it's eight - and searches the streets for the red-haired man.

He won't be late, would he?*

*Zelos notes the flustering but slides seamlessly on with the conversation anyway.*

Well technically I guess we're all aliens, but I did mean stuff like the trolls. Those are the gray skinned ones with horns, right?

[angelicvoice]

That's right. They're a little eccentric, but they seem like okay people, don't they?

*I mean one of them baked a cake for Yukari. Fuuka was bit scared of them first, but she is trying to get to know them better nowadays.*

[chosen_gigolo]

*Zelos just shrugs easily, taking another bite of his meal.* I haven't really talked with any of them. Have you?

[angelicvoice]

I have, but only few times.

*Fuuka offers the basket of bread.* To be honest, I was really scared when I first saw one of them. He looked like the ogre in my old storybooks.

[chosen_gigolo]

*He takes a roll and smiles his thanks.* They do looks pretty scary, but not everything scary is bad I guess.

*Definitely not in his experience. Those summon spirits are quite useful. Still, just in case those trolls or something else are more like monsters and less like spirits, he needs to get that dog for Colette. In the interest of of that mission, he polishes off his pasta with a flourish.*

[angelicvoice]

*Fuuka can't eat as first, so forgive her if she a little longer than you Zelos. Somehow she does finish her meal. Pleasantly full, she looks over and smiles.*

I guess you're ready to leave?

[chosen_gigolo]

Ah, don't let me rush you Fuuka-chan~! *He leans back in his chair, crossing one leg over the other with a grin.* I just couldn't help myself, it was so delicious~

[angelicvoice]

Oh, I couldn't eat another bite even if I tried.

*Fuuka laughs a little. Her plate is mostly clean, perhaps not as clean as Zelos's.*

[chosen_gigolo]

*Well he is a fair bit bigger than she is, though not overly muscular.*

Well in that case, maybe we should get going. *He laughs easily, waiting for Fuuka to rise before he follows suit, as a gentleman should.*

[angelicvoice]

Right. Thank you for the food.

*Noticing the cue, Fuuka stands up from her seat and slides the chair under the table.*

[chosen_gigolo]

*Zelos does the same and even holds the door for Fuuka as they exit, allowing her to take the lead since he has no idea where the shop is.*

Hm, so a golden retriever you say?

[angelicvoice]

*Fuuka thanks him for holding the door - flattered and embarrassed at the same time. When they're out on the streets, she pulls out a hand-drawn map and starts leading.*

Have you seen one before? I know some worlds are very different from mine ... *I mean, he mentioned Elves right? Do they even have normal animals??*

[chosen_gigolo]

*He isn't sure if she means dogs or pet shops, so he decides to cover all the bases*

There's dog's all over at home, but a pet shop I've only been in a couple times, usually for gifts for other people.

[angelicvoice]

I see ... I stopped the pet shop often because we used to have a dog around our dormitory. He was here in Vatheon too, but he returned home several months ago.

*It was too bad Koro-chan isn't here with them. He really made usually idle days fun.*

I need to figure out how he gets distracted here since they obviously didn't get a dog, lol

[chosen_gigolo]

Huh, I guess even pets get dragged here sometimes. I saw this beautiful white dog she would have loved at New Years, actually. Just running around alone. Seemed sweet, too. She would have named it snowy or something.

*Apparently stray dogs on Zelos' world aren't something dangerous.*

xD we can say he fancied the other pet when they got to the shop?

[angelicvoice]

*Fuuka perks up. She knows that dog all right.*

Oh yes. I know that dog. She comes to our dormitory often. I think her name is ... Amaterasu? She's a good dog and a good fighter too.

*Fuuka checks her map before turning right. The shop should be - on the next block!*

I guess I could have him distracted by the shop girl >.>

[chosen_gigolo]

She'd have been perfect to protect Colette, but I think that dog might be a little smarter than most.

*Zelos rubs the back of his neck. Maybe Colette doesn't need a canine companion. He's not getting any evil vibes from the city, other than the uncomfortableness that comes from being trapped, and Colette is fully capable of taking care of herself. Her angel skills are impressive and no one wants to take a Pow Hammer to the face.*

Oh, hey, there it is.

and then suddenly!!

[angelicvoice]

*Fuuka fully intent on opening the door for Zelos this time - he has been very kind to hold the door for her after all - picks up the pace and reaches the doorknob first. Just as she opens it however-*

No! Close the door, close the door!

*But it's too late. As if on cue, a giant snake falls through the door and lands hard on the ground, right next to Fuuka's feet. Hissing angrily, it coils up and bites into the nearest flesh.

Fuuka doesn't even have time to scream. It all happened so ... quickly.*

oh noes!

[chosen_gigolo]

Fuuka!

[Zelos' sword is out in a flash and the snake suddenly lacks a head as he holds Fuuka up with one arm. He resheaths it and picks the girl up princess style, glowering at the shop keeper. He can't imagine that he'd sell poisonous snakes, but the thing was huge and a bite that big is easily painful.

The shopkeep fumbles through an apology but Zelos doesn't wait to hear it, instead carrying Fuuka to a bench outside and setting her down carefully, kneeling by her injured calf.]

Are you alright? Don't go into shock on me now before I can heal it.

[angelicvoice]

I, uh - ow!

*Fuuka winces as the momentarily shock fades away and the real pain seeps through the skin. But she bites her lower lips and tries not to cry.*

I-I am okay. I don't think it was poisonous or anything. But ...

*But it does hurt a lot. :|*

[chosen_gigolo]

*He knows he should probably take her to the coral and heal hr that way but the tears she's fighting make the decision for him. Examining the wound, Zelos hovers his hand over the bite. He glances up at her briefly.*

Ready for this? First aid.

*The area under his hand glows slightly and the pain would subside as the bite mark fades from her leg.*

There, is that better?

[angelicvoice]

Y-Yes!

*The spot where the wound used to be feels numb, but the pain was gone. Even though she has seen SEES member use Dia spells all the time, the recovery still astonished her.

Fuuka looks up to Zelos with a grateful smile.*

That was amazing Zelos. Thank you so very much.

[chosen_gigolo]

Well I couldn't just leave it like that, now could I?

*He smiles back at her, though it turns sheepish after a moment.*

Though, uh, I guess our plans are kind of ruined since I decapitated the guy's snake.

[angelicvoice]

*She jumps and looks over to the headless snake. From the confusion and pain, she hadn't noticed. It looked quite cruel from here. But ... Fuuka shakes her head.*

It's okay. Sometimes, things just turn out that way. I'm just glad we didn't get seriously injured.

[chosen_gigolo]

[Zelos glances too as the cranky shop keeper cleans up the mess.]

Yeah, me too.

[He looks up at Fuuka, smiling again.]

Did you want me to walk you home?
