After their last attempt at a day out at a cafe together, Poko wanted to spend some time with her guild mates again. Hopefully this time they would not be interrupted by giant, mutant space squid that shot lasers from their tentacles. The blonde had tried to invite both Mizumi and Yuvon, however she had been unable to locate the former. She assumed the blue haired mage must have been out on either a job or personal business, but Poko wasn't going to let that stop her from enjoying a few sweets now that she had been thinking about them, craving them. Luckily she had managed to track down the masked bookworm, not like it was hard, she had been carefully studying his habits for a while now. While some may call it stalking, she preferred to think of it as research, besides if she didn't know when he'd be back from Apocrypha how was she ever meant to speak to him? After cornering him during one his usual meal times at the guild hall she had managed to ask him out for the day, to enjoy the sunshine and a few baked goods at one of her favourite bakeries in Peace Village.
The duo now found themselves on the outskirts of the village, with Poko leading the way to the small cafe, filled to the brim with sweet and savory food, most of which she had already tried on her frequent visits through the village. She had become quite the regular customer, to the point the owner even made her special treats to try, using her as a sort of trial to see if they should make them for the rest of their customers, a role the young girl took pride in. Just thinking about what the baker may have planned for her this time got her excited, she wanted to run there immediately. Had she been alone today, she no doubt would have raced through the wind to do just that, but she had her friend with her, therefore she would have to be much more patient. A thought that made her stomach growl just loud enough that Yuvon could probably hear it, causing a small blush of embarrassment from the blonde girl, her eyes a swirl of multiple colours, pink, purple and yellow. Lately she had found that she hadn't been forcing herself to remain calm, instead she'd grown comfortable enough to just let her eyes do as they wish, not caring as much if people found it odd.
While she walked side by side with the tall man she called one of her closest friends she found herself unable to come up with a conversation topic. Strange, normally they discussed their recent readings and such, but perhaps silence wasn't that bad, besides it wasn't like it was an awkward silence, it was a comfortable one. The kind shared between two people that somewhat understood each other without the need for words, a bond she was quite proud to share with her favourite masked man. Poko looked down at herself, she'd decided to try something a little different from her normal shorts and shirt, instead she had chosen to wear a simple long-sleeved black dress that clung to her figure and stopped just before her knees. She had then worn long, black, knee-length socks with some matching flats. She had then fastened her blonde locks into two low pigtails that flowed over her shoulders with a couple of blue butterfly clips. It was an outfit that Kanojo had recently created for her, the spider queen from Quill's Paradise. This was the first time she had worn something of this kind, most of her other dresses were much more free flowing and she found it a little unusual that she couldn't move as freely. Yes, she would certainly never wear anything of this sort should she be expecting combat, but it's not like that mattered today, for she was simply going out to enjoy a few treats with Yuvon.
Unfortunately for her things would take quite the turn, something she had not been quite expecting at all. As the two made their way through the streets, almost about to reach their desired destination, Poko sensed something, a disturbance in the magical energy and air close by, something was certainly not right. "Do you feel that?" Poko queried, glancing briefly at Yuvon before naturally moving down a side street, towards where she felt the shift in energy. As she came out the other end her eyes widened there was a huge summoning circle the likes of which she had never seen in her life, not even in any of the books she had researched. Not only that there were hundreds of creatures swarming out of it. Her eyes changed to a silvery blue colour as she blinked, worry and fear filling her for not only herself but the villagers, she needed to do something quickly. She scanned her eyes over the creatures, after getting a better look at them they appeared to be incredibly large dog-sized rats. Only their size wasn't the only strange thing, their fur seemed to be radiating some sort of toxic chemicals.
Poko heard a scream as she noticed a small child about to be attacked by one and without a second thought dashed through the air towards the child, ignoring the fact that her dress rode up her legs, she could fix her appearance up later, this was not a time for modesty. Without hesitation she summoned the nearby air into her right hand, condensing it into a magical sword made of pure wind that she used to slice at the oversized rat, causing it to squeal out in pain as she removed its head. Poko wasn't one for letting creatures suffer, even ones that others would have deemed evil. She reached the young child who had tears streaming down their face. The short blonde picked up the child, cradling them within her arms, her sword still in hand as she carefully made sure not to accidentally harm the small human. Her bluish eyes searched for a safe haven to leave the child, while she knew Yuvon was a capable mage, there was no way he could handle so many enemies at once all by himself. Even just the two of them might find the task impossible.
