The last time here, that eventful time which filled him with emotions spread across all colours of the spectrum. Forest flowers of doubt growing in his mind as this was the second attempt at getting an ilac, the first. Whilst meeting another nature based mage had been nice the cousin unknown to him had come as a surprise, as the duo hadn't noticed their similarities in looks until that tramp like woman had pointed it out. How odd that day had ended with him being escorted from the area which he now stood. Quite promptly his day had started off with the male in more casual attire, valentines colours lighting up his jacket as he leant over the balcony of his room, the inn had kindly given him a rather nice room after Lester had repaired one of their stairs, which had been made of a badly grown tree he had guessed from the lack of patterning and lines. A soft pastry pie in his hand warmed the pale fingertips.

Val sat on his bed, the roses sticking out of her soft fur brightening the room with every mid sleep mumble the pet exerted. Tired for a sloth was something hard to imagine, yet even after lingering in the neutral zone for a few days his close friend had not seemed to accumulate enough will to properly move about. Experiment, or creation, the words meant the same thing yet held a strangely different feeling the magic embedded within her had been ripped away like a daisy snatched away by the plump grasp of a child. The poor creature appearing more lethargic than the frosty haired male had ever known her to be. Surely there was something he could do, they needed to find that factory soon. Turning back the room behind him vanished, although is view wasn't great the street appeared similar to a forest in one way, at first it appeared boring and plain yet as one looked closer and focused upon an individual the entire story started to play out. Another small mouthful as a few flakes of pastry fluttered down from his pie, drawing his cherry gaze towards the two bodies intertwined in a messy collapse. Familiar almost, his mind only had a moment to register the two people colliding below his balcony when Val let out a squeak and rolled off the bed behind him. Surprise crawled across his face stretching his brows high as his hands released the pie. A quick look back and val appeared quite happily snuggling a pillow on the floor, unhurt by the slight fall.

Plummeting down the pastry had started to flake off as mince was dragged out of the bitten corner in by the tearing winds. His meal! The trajectory of the pie was surely taking it towards the two people whom still appeared rather dazed, one of them slightly familiar. a blizzard of hair swirled around him as the earthen coloured clad male lent further over, slight foreboding horror growing in his meadowy eyes. "Excuse me!" Oh that indeed was rather the wrong thing to say, hopefully one of the two would raise their heads in time to spy the descending meal. surely it would have been better to say watch out~!

The pie spiralled down, quite pitifully descending towards the mortals below as if a god had cast down his rather boring creature, discarded upon the dumping grounds of earth which had cultivated lives and worlds within it so spectacular he would never see the end of it. The male it seemed had taken notice of him, as the female whom had been so full of energy appeared to ignore the poor lad which she had collided with, no fission or fusion of any type had happened, in fact she had almost abandoned the other male. A slight wince spring across his face as he scooped Val up, the sloth releasing her pillow and clinging to his back like a backpack as he hurtled himself over the balcony in hopes of rescuing his pie. The wonderful meal had only just been started and as a result his stomach still quite empty. Even the most wonderful and hardy plants could do with fertilizer to help it burst up into the sky in a flurry of colour and growth. Red jacket fluttering as if the wind had danced through a sea of memorial poppies. Latching onto the supports of his second story balcony the youth slowed his descent, not soft by all means the brown boots which clad his feet thudded harshly against the ground below as his rather extravagant yet humble leg warmers made of subtle colours slid down his ankles a little too far for liking. Pie-face, the name reminding him of the comic he had read as a child, now appeared to be slumped on the floor, a dazed expression and pie splattered across his face. Damn Pie-Face, at least he had caught it! Although a bit in an unsatisfactory way the method of capture had at least saved his meal from the dust covered ground beneath them. Val now slightly more awake from their jumping down to the ground licked his ear a little, waking him back up to the woman who casually tore up her skirt and the male whom appeared to be eating his pie!

”No no it was not a prank by any standards! You see I was merely standing on my balcony enjoying a nice pie when I heard my pet fall off the bed, in surprise and worry for her safety I dropped my pie by accident, down onto you two whom had met in a tangle of limbs below!“ A handkerchief of rich dark brown embroidered with a few soft cream flowers was pulled from his packet, as the weight of a fluffy green animal put him slightly off balance the mage crouched down next to his fellow man. Handkerchief open in one hand he made a move to softly pluck the large chunks off pie off the others face. That female and her pet had started quarrelling ignoring his poor pie which had started to grow colder with every second of exposure to winters chilled embrace. ”Thank you for catching my pie though! That was truly a glorious thing for you to do!- Val do you can’t have any!” he spoke, a sizable portion of pie reclaimed from the vagrants face Val had smelt the rich mince and sauce. A humming sound emanating from her body which had been in a state of almost hibernation for long.

Another who saw the true wonder behind food! Oh how wonderful it was to come across this male which saved such a great pie by sacrificing his face! Not being able to let a nice pie be ruined oh such a sweet and pure soul. A small step backwards as the last of the pie was removed, hair fluttered across his view as now Lester stood slightly taller than Theo, very tasty? A smile plastered across his face, the pie had indeed been wonderful, and although its pastry top had been bent in odd directions from the scarring wind and the meaty contents now cooled considerably as if a permafrost had decided to make its home within the rich contents he cradled his meal with both hands. Delightful, the trip to the neutral zone different than before, it still showed him a great many things, well worn did not persuade him to do otherwise as the youth took a careful bite of the pie, savoring its rich sauce and soft mince, flavours laying ontop of each other swarmed around his ears, blocking it up as the sounds around him drained away from the delights blossoming across his tastebuds, the scents and pollen of wondrous cuisine communicated through such a simplistic yet perfect dish.

That annoyance, disturbance, that energy and light. He had seen it before sometime, that clumsy ability to run into anything although not one he was overly familiar with Lester had a vague idea, a scent of spring whilst winter still chilled the leaves, how did he know this female who was similar to his own age. That face filled with apology indeed it had blossomed with expressions that sprouted thoughts of dejavu within. As the other two had their interaction his feet took him a few steps back, a clump of mince and thick sauce scooped up by a single finger he offered it up to that which cling to his back, an alternative meal to his ear Lester waved the delightful treat before the tied sloths nose who tentatively rested a paw on his hand. The weight was a comfort to him as a moment later the treat had vanished into the sloths mouth, whom was humming softly, mumbling 'oovoo javer' as a representation of the delightful tastes growing within her mouth. Sakura, cherry blossoms tinted with pink could be not a shade softer than the hair which swirled around the females frame, deep eyes of a similar colouration yet in slightly darker tones converted the deep emotions and thoughts from within her.

Soft and white, as if it were a glorious dumpling, ears long and stretching a dainty and sweet set of paws only surpassed by the best sherbert. Lily, the best friend of Rin Mayou, yes indeed that was it. Eyes set on the almost feline like pet as she spoke to Pie-Face Lesters mind turned over once more, not too long ago the ship had docked, releasing a flock of citizens onto the ship whilst it stayed for a short time to restock on supplies. "Yes remember, crystal swan. Our ship docked and then you ran into Desirée. I was there when you joined." A vague motion, the flowers in a soft wind moved with more force, his hand motioned towards the sloth on his back in hopes the rather odd pet would spark her or lilies memory of the floral duo.

Theo, a name which he quite liked as it was normally shortened and simplistic to say. He had quite a nice face, good for catching pie. A slight radiance seem to emanate from it as his expressions played scenes of emotion and thoughts. A smile of friendship mixed with a relaxed expression of energy and youth. Quite typical, yet that did not diminish how he savoured those which danced across this elders face, at least he did appear to be slightly older. Perhaps only by a year or two, it was hard to tell at this age. Val had started nudging his neck with her soft plushed nose, she clearly wanted more of his pie, yet the container of peace and wonder was his and his alone. Lily, Val and- oh, it appeared to be that out of the trio this Theo was the only one to be alone. Truly alone indeed he even lacked a good meal to be eating.

Whilst he had been speaking to Run it seemed to be that the boy with the hair of starless nights had been more excited by the revelation than Rin herself, whom was slowly realizing where they had met previously. This young lad appeared to be so physical in his reactions, a slight chuckle accompanies a smile that spread across his face. "Yes that's what I said, crystal swan. No need to apologize Rin!~" It was a simple mistake after all, they had only met once. Oh and Theo as well, it seemed to be that some sort of Glucose gods had drawn the roots of the three youth together so they could collect iLacs. Or was there something more that the world wanted from this pie splattered day. For him the acquisition of an iLac would greatly increase his business production, allowing communication to flow easier and contacts to be arranged and sorted, if he wished to do it properly such measures were necessary. In addition Lesters mind had added the acquisition of a warehouse to the list, whilst he had his personal quarters oh the ship for sure it would be nice to move up the ladder and form a larger organization. Oh yes, it would be better to go together, "Oh yes me too, pleasure to meet you Theo I'm Lester this is Val!" With his pie the lad motioned to the sloth clinging to his back, whom gave a halfhearted snap towards the incoming treat.

Where were the ilacs indeed? With a slight roll of his shoulders the customer face was plastered across his own poker face, approaching a nearby woman it only took a few short moments of conversation before the factory had been pointed out. "Quite close actually, just down that street there." A glance back to the other two before he gestured down a bustling street, a bit of pie had gotten stuck to the cuff of his sleeve as if it were ivy clambering up the tree slowly draining it of life, what an annoyance indeed.

Crystal Swans onwards, the use of swans, as all three of them were indeed from the same guild. It was nice, this idea of guild which he never though he would get back. A smile crossed his face as the youth chuckled slightly, "Onwards indeed." His feet softly scuffed the ground, he counted not his steps but the time passed with marking of how much pie he had left. At four steps the other two started a vague conversation about the joys of having ilacs, he decided to remain out of the conversation, leading the other two towards the factory which thankfully had no line. It was quite a small place yet the windows and doors had been built strong enough to avoid any low lives and robbers. At two bites he rushed to shove the rest into his neat mouth, fingers brushing off a slight residue of pastry before carefully taking the ilac in his hands. he hadn't achieved this before, it making it to the factory due to some rather unfortunate circumstances. It felt quite light, the lacrima inside must have powered it with such efficiency it was handheld. What's more his own custom one had been made with such splendid brush stokes, the name Lester Drynedi patterned across the top of his iLac box. With Val on his shoulders the youth passed the other two his business card, neatly printed it held the name of his ilac messenger app. "I'm going to go back and sleep, but you guys should message me later. we can all join together again." it was with that which the male departed, a flurry of autumn colours as he spun and skipped back to the inn in hopes of purchasing another pie before they ran out, his wintery hair flickering with every sidestep and twirl he made.
