AN ECSTATIC VIVACE ♦ open to all

Marschal silently followed after the group of five, keeping his mouth shut in a tight line while they headed into the bakery. The conversation that followed after was of no interest to him, instead his eyes wandered over the baked goods. He preferred candy over sugary, baked goodness, as he liked to suck on things like suckers and lollipops. However, a bakery didn't have that kind of stuff; it only had cupcakes, cakes, doughnuts, and various other things like that. Those things didn't interest him as much, and found them to be a waste of jewels, but Shinobu happened to like this all. Her top interest were the doughnuts, and with the mount of jewels he had (15,000 jewels to be exact), he could but them all for her. So, the young mage followed after the childlike vampire, pausing behind her from where she was pressed up against the glass.

The panther hanyō was almost always wherever Shinobu or Izayuki would be, not because he was attached to either, but because he felt a brotherly love toward them. While he hated Shinobu's guts, there was something about the childish vampire that screamed "little sister" to him. Izayuki, on the other hand, was capable of handling herself, but again, that brotherly protectiveness screeched in his ears whenever she was around. Towering behind the vampress, the Black Rose mage stuffed his hands in the pockets of his jeans and relaxed his stance. He jangled a bit of the jewels he had on him, wondering how the girl could love doughnuts so much like this. In fact, he was quite entertained by it, but kept his mouth in the straight line that he already had it pursed in. Marschy would merely wait for the girl to choose the doughnut that she wanted, or all the doughnuts for the matter.

Ignoring the other four who were close by, he stared down at Shinobu and jingled the jewels in his pocket again. "Feel free to buy them all if you want; I have enough jewels to cover the cost of the entire bakery if I wanted," he stated calmly. He figured letting the child splurge on doughnuts wouldn't be a bad thing; in fact, it would likely keep her busy the entire time. That meant no noise from her, expect the occasional mumbling of how good the doughnuts were and various other noises of satisfaction. Briefly, his red eyes would scan toward Izayuki and her newly made group of friends, glaring down Daemon at the time. His eyes would then flutter back down to Shinobu, but he couldn't resist from staring at the wolfish Lunar mage.

Marschal cleared his throat, lifted a hand from one of his pockets, and hooked a forefinger on the collar of his shirt, adjusting it.

"While I don't trust or care to know any of you; do know that I won't hesitate to kill any of you if you do something to Shinobu or Izayuki," Marschy spoke to the threesome of strangers. No, he didn't care about Shinobu's well being or the fact that she would scream at him that she was stronger than she looked, but she was still a guildmate.

A feral growl emitted from within his throat, though his lips didn't prove to move an inch to reveal the sound. It was just a sound that rumbled from deep within the male's chest, rose up to his throat and settled there as menacingly as it could. His pupils had dilated as the candy was thrown at him, and despite liking candy, he showed no interest toward it. Fingers curled into a tightly knitted fist, his claws digging into the palms of his hands to release blood from them. The man, who towered over his half-sister that now stood in front of him to block the thrown candy, tried to push her aside, passing by her. He would loom over Nashi, then lower to just her eye level, and bare his sharp canines at the younger lady, growling as well. This growl was threatening, a warning to the woman that pushing his patience was not something she should do.

After about a minute of glaring at the Fairy Tail mage with his ashen eyes, decorated with red orbs, he moved away. His clenched fist relaxed back into its natural state, though pinhole pokes were visible in the skin of his palm. Blood trickled down his hands, but he ignored the sensation and returned to Shinobu, who was still staring at the doughnuts.

"Yeah, sure, whatever. Eat them all now, save them all for later; do whatever the hell you want with them," he grumbled. Marschal would place the precise amount of jewels it needed to pay for the amount of doughnuts that Shinobu wanted. The person behind the counter would bag the items and hand them to the little girl, smiling kindly at her. It was then that Marschy turned back to Izayuki and crossed his arms over his chest, taking on a more bodyguardish stance.

He was not about to deal with these people anymore, and on top of that, a person was staring at them from the outside. Marschy would watch Kage as he entered the building, having just missed the threat he imposed on Nashi. Maybe he had seen it through the window though, or maybe he had entered just on time to see it, Marschal didn't know.

"Don't test my patience," the Black Rose mage stated in a cold, aloof tone toward the timid female who had thrown candy at him. "And I suggest that you clean up your mess before the baker gets pissed off at you for wasting candy in their store."

"You know what would be best, Shinobu? I suggest you place them in secret places all over Elyx's room. That way, he won't know where to expect them to be at, and when he goes to do something, 'Surprise! A doughnut!'," Marschal suggested after turning back to the vampire.
