after the happy ending

[ryuu]

I nodded to her the same. Starting to lead walking forth I gazed around me to see of any likely people who could be of scource of information. Ru helping too, he climbed up the top of my head searching out as a salior would. As passing through the market place few people eyed oddly to the sight of Ru having never seen a creature like him, whispering I could hear likely of worry. I picked the pace just a slight but still in calm walk. I turn to my side to see Claire, questions filled my mind to ask her. Mind troubling on what to ask. My first thought came of the likely hood of her parents.."So you think your parent will be ok with you traveling with a mysterious stranger?" I asked curiously.

[tsuki]

walking as fast as i could without running to keep up i watched as the two looked around. when asked the question though, i jumped a bi and had to run to catch up a little. "it's not like they told me never to go outside, so it's totally fine" waving a none worry wave i kept walking along side him.

[ryuu]

"Hmm, alright if you say so, I trust you." I gave her a warm kind smile to. I slowed my pace a bit seeing that I was probably walking too fast. Still the eyes of the busy people around and shopkeepers still eyed me, more of Ru, but they had suspision in there mind. I did not want to cause a scene that could endanger Claire so I acted casually so, steping out of the district looking left and right eyed more shops of lesser people to blend to. Looking to my left there were two guards talking to another as they walked closer to us. Feeling a bit uneasy, I guilded Claire to turn right with me in hoping that they didn't eye the little dragon on my head.

[tsuki]

following close behind i was so happy to be looking around, observing ru. moving my hands to mimic ru's shape i tried to make a magical being similar to him but it turned to nothing but gew. "ah! gross!" i whined as it sliped on my fingers and droped on the ground. "guess it's not that simple huh." muttering to my self i shoot my hands clean. mabey its similar to how dad was with calsifer, i thought.

[ryuu]

I turned behind me to hear Claire, Ru too, as we both looked to her curiously. Glacing quick at the gew just passing by. "You ok?" "Roo?" Eyes shifting up for a moment I notices the same two gaurds I saw before, still following behind, a sweat beed fell off the side of my face.

[tsuki]

"oh yeah all good" i laughed a little then followed his gaze. but wasn't able to clearly notice the guards as a threat, so looked back up at him. "something wrong?"

[ryuu]

"Ahh, it's nothing haha" Looking back foreword I tried to bring my focus back, Ru too felt a sense of danger looking to the guards, looking deeping to them siriously. Ru made alittle "eep!" noise come out turning his head back forwards as well. I held behind my worry of being caught likely over my calm smile still gazing about the people or at ths point, someplace to hide out for awhile.

[tsuki]

tiliting my head curiously, looking back and forth between the area he had looked befor and the man, i followed. following his looking around, like i was helping, eventhough i didn't really know what we were doing.

[ryuu]

I continued to look about in just finding someone or somewhere to slip to in hiding, hearing behind foot steps pacing more I thought of doing the same and take Claire's hand making a run for it. Having my suspision of what these guards could want from me. Just as I was going to take Claire's hand I was met with a rough halt hand to the shoulder "Hey you." one gruffy voice said. instanly stoping and look from side to see the gaurds standing behind me. "Yes?" Acting as casual can be. "Does this..creature, belong to you?" Both eyeing Ru, the little dragon jumping back onto shoulder, cureling to a ball close to. Knowing that Ru would be there first to question. "He's my little brother~" I said with an inoccent smile and cheer."Roo!" The guards stuned for a moment as they looked at me oddly for awhile. "Al..right, and the girl" looking to Claire. "Relivtive?" I wraped an arm around her in a half hug continuing my smile. "Yes sirs! I've been looking after her while her parents are on biusness. We've been traveling for a long while town to town, jusr ariving hear recently." Getting to believe to story now was the cheery on top now.

[tsuki]

confused for a secend but quickly catches up, smiling at the guard. "this my uncle! he's taking me to the best fishing spot in town! i've waited forever. please dont make me wait longer" making pouting eyes i looked up at the guards as i held on to his shirt. (forgot charcters name DX)

[ryuu]

Both guards looked repeatedly at another in confusion and stun. Mubbling to selves. "Maybe he's not our guy on the wanted posters from the other town..should we question them still?" "Mmmm.." Turning back to me and Claire. "Alright, your free to go, but make sure your...brother is kept under control. Clear?" I saluted happily. "Very clear sir!" "Roo!" Ru mimicing the same as me. The gurads nodded, continuing forward on there stroll leving just us to stand silently for a moment. Then breathing out a sigh of relief. "That was close haha I was close to use magic on them to help a smooth escape if needed, but your cute powers work Claire." I smiled to her as reach for my sack of apples, just remebering why I bought them in the first place. Giving one to Ru, happily taking and munching away, then in handing one to Claire and one out for me. (haha its alright ^^ its Aeros *having forgotten moment self*)

[tsuki]

looking up at aeros blushing slightly i claped and took the apple happly. "i'm glad haha, it never works with my mom, i'm glad it worked here." munching the apple smiling away, the apple was very sweet, much to my pleasure.

[ryuu]

I smiled to her munching the sweet apple, but not hungrly like even if i was to the point of starvation, you muct always remain gentlemen like no matter what. "Why's that?" Tilting my head slight curiously asked. Finishing the apple to core, Ru same but he ate the entire thing, giving the core to Ru as he goolped it down in one bite showing tiny teeth.

[tsuki]

"my mom never fell for my dads charm, so she seemed amune to mine after a time too, so i would try and get things with my cute act and she would still keep the same awnser." shrugging i munched as much as i could of the apple then was begining to set it on fire like the one before.

[ryuu]

"EEP!" Ru squeked right in my ear, seeing him eye one the last remains of Claire's apple with a sad face. I reached a hand to sratch under chin in handing another apple to him, gladly the dragon took it and munched hungryly away. For being a tiny thing to one eye, he actually needed a bigger course of meals to his "true" size. "Manners Ru, haha sounds like you have most of your dad's genes as your mother's beauty too." I smiled, then looked off into the distance in thought. "A mother..and a father.." I spoke out of thought.
