Leisurely Time Spent (Open)

[Fae NPC]

Aapep walked along with his friend Adrija throughout the capital city looking at various stands that were up for some type of festival that was going on. Adrija started to walk ahead to looks at something that had suddenly caught her attention, which allowed him to take in her features without the embarrassment of getting caught. Her skin was a smooth medium complexion that seemed to go with her light brown hair with natural blond highlights. He watched her amber eyes as they were studying some shining trinket that shimmered as she moved it around. He didn't know what the abstract item was, nor did he care. But he pretended to take interest to what she holding and stepped closer to her take in her flowery scent.

"Is that something you want to get? I can get it for you if you want it. I wouldn't mind to get you anything that you see that you want." He blushed after he finished talking, feeling like he was being too pushy and obvious about is his feelings toward her.

"Well, I don't know. I don't think I want this. I was just looking at it trying to figure out what it was." She smiled at him while putting the item back where it was resting. She walked to the next stand looking at the pottery goods that were on display. However, someone started shouting out some announcement about a show that was going to start later on in the day. Adrija looked to Aapep; he stood there alert and tall even though he was only an inch taller than herself. His icy blue eyes were focused on the announcer but they immediately seemed to have went soft as they fell on her own. He smiled at her and nervously combed his fingers through his short black hair. He seemed really cute whenever he did it but she didn't want to tell him that and make the situation awkward. Instead she smiled back him, "Seems like an interesting show maybe we can go to that if there is time.

Adrija and Aapep continued walking down the street when an aroma of baked goods seemed to have found their noses. "Man, what is that?" Aapep said as he closed eyes and stuck his nose in the air.

"I don't know, but whatever it is, it smells delicious. Lets check it out." Adrija pulled on Aapep's arm and dragged to follow the scent of bakery that had to be nearby. As soon as they turned the corner, there it was. Outside, a petite Cherub stood outside shouting out the brand new opening of the bakery and that it catered to any that was not Celestial. "Seems kinda weird that they don't cater to the very people that are from here." Adrija said to herself mostly.

Aapep nodded in agreement but didn't say anything on the matter. He just kept walk along with his friend until they got to the place. The Cherub greeted them, immediately recognizing them as being faeries and ushered them in. Inside the place seemed to resembled a cozy cabin with a fireplace in the middle with chairs and couches surrounding it. They got to the counter and asked for some blueberry muffins that they saw cooling on display before taking a seat in one of the couches. Both fae started munching on the warm muffins that almost took to hands just to hold.

Giggling, Adrija wiped her mouth before she started to speak, "You know, this place remind me of that lady back at home who lived off the road to leading up to Exile. Have you ever been there?"

"No I've never been there but I heard about her and how she would always look after the children that played in that area." He smiled at her again. He didn't know what it was, but he just loved watching her whenever she would eat. It was probably because she took such small bites out of her food or the way she would carefully try to avoid making a mess. Whatever it was very pleasing to watch.

Both of them seemed to have spent forever in the bakery, talking and reminiscing about being at home and joining the Queen's army. Aapep wanted to just stay there with Adrija, he could listen to her talk and just stare at her for hours. But he had this feeling that they may have lost track of time especially when the baker asked them if they wanted dinner. "Man, where did the time go? We really should be leaving." He got up to stretch and looked down at his friend with a smile on his face.

Adrija however pouted at him, "Do we have to leave? Is there time for that performance?" She really didn't want to go back to base, back to training, back to being over worked to death by the Ha-ou. She really wanted to just stay here and spend time with him considering that they would barely have opportunities to see each other back in the first layer.

The smile faded away and Aapep started to feel a tugging on his heart. He didn't like to see her pout even when if she was just pretending but there was nothing he could about it. "Sorry, I don't know if there is time for that and I rather not get us into trouble. I don't know if that Heaven King would be so lenient on us, he seems like the type not to be light on punishment. I rather not find out the hard way." He tried to put on a smile again, forcing himself to just so that he could try make her smile.

She sighed as a sign of defeat before getting up and brushing off any crumbs that may have fell on her while she ate her muffin. "Well then lets go shall we." She slightly smiled at him before she started to walk out the building, leading the way down the streets back to where they need to be.
