>:D We're getting closer to one of my favourite parts. Owo ~ Forest of Angels Chapter 6: Ileno Returns Section 2
Tao Chi pointed to a store not too long after that to the side of the road as they walked on the sidewalks. “Look!” She shouted. “This is my favorite store, you need to get in here.” Uri rolled her eyes as they entered the store, a small bell ringing when the door was opened. It was a weapon store. Tao breathed a sigh in awe, pressing her nose against the glass, looking at the various staffs, daggers, swords, lances, axes, and various other types of weapons. “Look at those swords!” She cried, moving over to the type of model she used, the double swords, one for each hand. She kneeled beside it, on the ground, pressing her face against the glass. “I don’t have enough money. though…” Tao Chi moaned. Tsano looked into his moneybag. Surely he’d have enough… He gave Tao Chi the money that was on the price tag, smiling slightly. “Here, take it.” Tao Chi stared down at it, then back at Tsano, her face beaming. “Really?” She breathed. “I can have this? Thank you, Tsano!” She hugged him around the middle, then stood up, going to the cash register. Tsano didn’t move for a moment, taken aback by the sudden hug. Uri’s eyebrow twitched in the corner of Tsano’s vision. Tsano paid for another sword and a dagger, seeing as he never got his other ones back from that prison, and he felt there was no use going back and asking for them. They left the store after they were done buying. Once outside, he removed the sword and dagger from its casing and he strapped them both around his waist, same with Tao Chi. Uri sighed. “I don’t like weapons.” She said. “I like clothes.” Tao Chi laughed. “Clothes aren’t for boys, Uri.” She told her. “Don’t forget we’ve got Tsano with us today.” Uri mumbled as they walked the streets for a few moments in silence, looking around at the city surroundings. They stopped at a fast food place that Uri pointed out and ate a small lunch. A little girl with brown pigtails walked up to them unexpectedly as they sat at their little round table in the back, munching on their burgers and fries. Tsano stared down at her awkwardly. “Um…” “Aw!” Uri chirred, abandoning her salad and looking over at the little girl who had her thumb in her mouth. “Where’s your mommy?” She asked her. “Are you lost?” The little girl shook her head, staring at Tsano. “Are you an Angel?” She asked suddenly. Tao Chi stopped, her burger halfway to her mouth, watching Tsano to see his reaction, which was taken aback. When he didn’t respond, the girl said, “My Mommy said you’re an Angel.” She told them. “Where are your wings and your halo?” “Um…” Tsano looked at Tao Chi for support, but was saved when the girl’s mother came and apologized. “I’m so sorry!” She said hastily. “My little girl just took off while I wasn’t watching. I hope she didn’t cause any trouble for…” The woman stopped. “Are…you…?” She asked, getting a good look at Tsano. “Aren’t you—the Angel everyone’s talking about?” She asked, seeing Uri and putting the two together. “I, uh…” Tsano muttered, not knowing what to say. The fast food restaurant went quiet, a few people standing up, craning their necks to see his face. “Are you?” She demanded. “You are, aren’t you?” Some people started to gather around, demanding of him the same questions. “Look, I…” Tsano began. Tao Chi nudged Tsano’s arm. “Tsano…” A few reporters came over with cameras, notebooks, and microphones. “What will you do now that you’ve been cleared of all charges?” One asked, pressing a microphone to his face. Cameras flashed noisily everywhere and Tsano blinked, shielding his face. The voices were mixing and indistinguishable, just like random shouting. Tsano couldn’t concentrate, and he felt like he was going mad. All at once he felt very claustrophobic. He covered his ears and screamed, shutting his eyes tight and standing up quickly, running out of the restaurant, Uri and Tao Chi at his heels.
