"But I don't even know how to fly."
Heaven was perfect, and they were already sending the poor angel out on some mission they never even described to him. How did they expect him to do what they wanted without instructing him? It felt as if he had just gotten there and now they decided they no longer wanted him. It wasn't as though he had done anything wrong, hardly. All his time in the gates was spent cleaning the shoes of his mentor and running around doing errands.
"You'll learn with experience." Came the reply. A handsome man looked down at the younger boy, hazel eyes sparkling against the serene light. The man's white wings were large and folded against his back. "It will be okay. He wouldn't send you somewhere without knowing you right for the job. There's obviously something He sees in you."
"But I really am not at all suited for this nonsense. Honestly. When I was still on Earth all I did was tend to my mother's horses, and goodness, they didn't like me much. You know how many times they decided to poop in front of me? Too many to count!" The younger angel explained, hands spread out in front of him. "Too many, Hans. Too many. If I can't even handle horses how do you expect me to handle humans! And what time did you say it was?"
"2008."
"2008! You see! There's probably aliens roaming the earth by now! They'll think I'm absolutely bonkers. They must talk much like cave men or too different for my tongue and ears."
"You'll be fine, Abel. It's not TOO different than the 1800s. They just have computers and cars now."
"Computers...and cars? Those words! See they are already making my head do loops and flips! You can't expect me to survive down there! They'll eat me. And what about my wings? Don't you think they'll see these things?! These things I can't even use!" Abel motioned towards the large white wings that sat somewhat lifeless on his back. They gave a slight twitch before Hans shrugged and pulled a silver and gold bag from his shoulders.
"You'll do fine, I promise. If you ever are extremely in need of help, I told you I'd try to do what I can. And take this, it has some stuff you'll need."
Abel took the bag from Hans's hands and rung the strap nervously, biting his pale lower lip. He looked like the epitome of an angel. He was young, looking around 17 or 18, pale peach skin, curly blonde hair, and light blue eyes. "Please. Please Hans. I'll do anything you ask for. Anything. Anything at all. Don't do this! I'll ruin everything!"
"Now YOU'RE speaking nonsense. Good bye Abel." Hans gave Abel a slight nudge. In a split second the young man found himself air born, and not in a good way. His stomach lifted and fluttered around, air whipping his hair and clothes around.
"Oh goodness me." He said simply and started to tumble down to the earth.

((Oh me, oh my! I suppose I should write something useful!))
Talen was sure today was not a good day to skip his classes. In fact, whenever he decided to sneak out during gym he was always really sure it wasn't a good idea. That didn't stop him from slipping away on the track and scaling the fence. Even when his small voice of reason reasoned today at least he should stick around for the rest of his credits, he was already half way to the coast.
"You should stick around!" His small voice of reason, a band mate, had said as Talen cast a wary eye at the teacher. They were looking elsewhere, swinging their whistle. "It's your last year... You can at least be here for what we have left, right?" And he grinned through his panting, feet pounding the track.
Talen had laughed. "Can't stick around at school when the weather is this perfect. I got places to be. I'm too restless for this!" He gave a mocking salute. "Catch you later. After your classes are done. You'll know where to find me, huh?" And he laughed as he dashed away. He was over the fence too quickly for his friend to wave goodbye.
There was only a few places Talen would go when he tended to skip, but his most frequently visited was where the water was. He loved the coast, no matter the season or the fact the Pacific was freezing. That never stopped him before, just in the same way having classes never stopped him from missing them. The ocean was just relaxing... and what was the point of living near the ocean if you didn't see it everyday? Even if it was fall and the weather was far too cool to enjoy that sort of thing.
Talen sprinted down the rocky shore ignoring the smell of fall in the air and the edge of metal that cold water brought with it. Stopping just at the edge of some slippery rocks he stooped into a sit and let his already bare feet dangle into the water.
"Ha... perfect." he said of the weather, of the sky that was perfectly blue with all those white clouds.. and... falling... screaming... winged....
"What the..." He said under his breath. He put a hand over his eyes and squinted against the sun. "That seagull is doing it wrong...." He watched as it got closer. "That GUY is doing it wrong." He got to his feet and flapped his arms. "LIKE THIS LIKE THIS!" He watched frantically as the young man, or whatever it was continued to plummet. He watched a few moments more and then began to run along the rocky shore, following the winged being's fall.
This was definitely not normal.
((... AND YAAAAY!))

The fall was taking longer than Abel had anticipated. It seemed like hours were passing. The fear was drifting away and boredom was kicking in. He tried to use his wings, really did, but they only flapped uselessly behind him. What was the point of wings when they didn't do anything?
His body turned slightly as he saw the ground drawing closer. His eyes tried to focus on something soft to land on, but instead saw water, rocks, and a boy yelling up at him. His blue eyes widened in fear and panic kicked in again. He began to wave his arms. "WATCH OUT! WATCH OUT!" He yelled, voice wavering against the breeze kicking at him. His skirt robe smacked his legs and he realized he was falling head first.
"Oh dear Lord. Please, please, please." He begged, closing his eyes tightly. He flapped his wings as hard as he could, wishing he'd make it out intact. When he opened his eyes he was hovering slightly, staying in place in the air, nearly 10 feet above the other boy. "Oh goodness! Look at me!" He said, a wide smile on his face. Then his wings grew weak and he fell again.

((OH YEAH POST TIEM.))
Talen had continued to run along the shore as the man bird thing continued to fall. He absurdly struck his arms out to maybe catch him, but quickly thought better of that and had to laugh at himself.
"This is crazy..." He said and stopped, running his hands through his hair. "It's telling ME to watch out?!" He asked and raised an eyebrow. "What on... OH SHI-" And was about to dodge out of the way, but found he really didn't need to. He uncurled from a flinching gesture and looked up to see that this thing really was nothing more than a boy, and it was flying above him. There was no denying it what it was, but he refused to say it.
"... I'm seeing things." Talen said instead. He threw up his hands and rolled his dark eyes. "Great." And turned to walk away, but that was the moment the angel decided to drop... ontop of him. "OOF." He grunted and curled his fingers. "This is... a heavy hallucination." He twisted his head to look at the fallen boy. "And you were doing so well before..." He flapped his hands like wings. "Just like that... now if you don't mind...." He wriggled. "I think there is something sharp in my lungs... I wanna say..." He winced. "My ribcage... but then again, it could just be all my internal organs."

Abel closed his eyes as he fell, praying desperately to fall safely. Just as he was he hit something soft and then tumbled to the ground. After he was sure he was on the ground he heard someone talking from underneath him. His eyes slowly opened and he lifted his head to look around.
It was beautiful. Everything looked so beautiful. The clouds were so fluffy, the water was so nice and green with algae and whatever else lived in the water, the rocks shined brilliantly against the sun rays, spots of white covering them. So gorgeous. He let out a deep sigh and breathed in afterwards, the cold air rushing through his lungs, invigorating his spirits. Then he heard someone talking again and he looked down, blinking at the boy beneath him.
"OH! Oh dear! Oh...oh my. I'm so sorry! I really didn't mean to cause you harm! I didn't hurt you did I?" He gasped, lifting his bare chest up a bit and examining the boy's neck as he mentioned lungs, then his abdomen when he mentioned ribcage. "Oh goodness. I do hope..." He paused and looked extremely embarrassed and worried, though his screwed up face was hard to decipher, one could only read it was cutely innocent. "I do believe I need to remove myself." He quickly said and scurried off of the boy. He plopped down onto the shore and took another deep breath, wings resting limply on the damp shore.
A shiver creeped down his spine and he rubbed his arms, having forgotten what the cold felt like. It felt wonderful though. He smiled slightly. Then he remembered the other boy. "Oh goodness. I really do apologize! You see, I didn't mean to hurt you! In fact I was hoping entirely that I'd miss you and hit the water perchance, or maybe some soft grass, never you. Are you alright? You aren't injured are you? I can help you if you are. I learned a few tricks when I took that class back as a kid."

((LOLOLOL. Sorry it took me so long... school.. allll fuggin' DAAAY... geebus.))
Talen drummed his claws in the dirt as the boy on his back proceeded to look around. "Hey... yeah. You? Um... The guy on my back?" He waited and then smiled. "Ah yeah. Glad that you're with us now." He then laughed. "Guy falls on my back from ten feet and asks if I'm okay... Oh maaaan..." But he shook his head.
"I'm fine. REALLY. Just... yeah... remove yourself..." He made an odd face at his choice of words and then rolled onto his back once he was free. He wiggled his arms in front of him. "Yeah... Think I'm okay. I'm a lot tougher than that, bird boy." He joked and made a show of rolling onto his feet again. "Ah!" He exclaimed as he stood up, back popping. His tail twitched and jerked. "Not... ah... Not a good noise." He rubbed at his lower back. but proceeded to keep laughing at himself.
Once Talen had himself situated and had decided all he really had was some light bruising he looked to this angel type fellow and tilted his head, watching him observe the world around him. "Been awhile, huh?" But the fellow was startled from his thoughts and worried over the fact he was probably hurt again.
Talen waved his hands and shook his head. "REALLY. I'm OKAY. I promise." He grinned, amused. "I'm just... ah... I'm just... hm." He strode closer, inspecting and looking. He peered over his shoulders at his wings. "This... is... ah... um. Well... It's not... No offense, guy, but... I don't really." He lifted a wing and kind of half flapped it.
Talen took a few steps back and shook his head. "Forget it. My name is Talen." He offered a hand. "What's yours?... and do you want a shirt?"
((Hahahaha,he isn't sure how to talk to him XDDD *amused*))

Abel raised his brows when the boy moved slower, looking over Abel slightly. He felt a bit embarrassed, his cheeks turning a slight pink hue and his wings were inspected. He tried to turn but ended up tugging at the wing and furrowed his brows. "If I knew how to put them away I definitely would. You see...I find them very troublesome and they always tend to somehow cause me to take a fall of some sort." He raised his shoulders and then lowered them.
"Talen?" He looked at the offered hand, confused as to why it look almost like a paw. Perhaps there were aliens on earth now. If this was an alien though, it was certainly a nice one. With a simple smile he grabbed onto the boy's hand and shook it gingerly. "Yes, pleased to meet you, my good fellow." After a moment he let go and examined his hand, pleased the alien didn't secrete any juicy fluids from its skin. "Ah, Abel. My name is Abel." It took yet another moment for him to push himself up and stand. The gravity that pulled at him felt strange and he fell back down, looking rather irritated.
"I forgot what that was like. Indeed I did." Finally he pushed up again and remained balanced, folding his wings against his back the best he could. "A shirt...yes...that would be rather nice wouldn't it? I'm not sure about you aliens or any other new species Earth has now, but being shirtless...and in robes no less was a rather awkward thing for a man to be doing around the city." A little laugh escaped his mouth and he shook out his hair, causing it to fluff up again, curls tossling up. "If you don't mind me insinuating...why exactly do you have a tail? Did you come from another planet? When I was here there was that beastiality of sorts...but nothing that resulted in you.
"Oh dear. I didn't mean in that manner! Heavens no. I just meant, it's a bit odd is all. Oh goodness! No no no, please don't take it the wrong way, it just seems out of...oh gosh...I'll just stop. I'll just stop my blabbering away right this instant." He pushed out his lips in a pout and looked down to his bare feet.
It was only then he realized how odd HE must have seemed. Falling from the sky, wings on his back, and in a skirted robe. He also came to the conclusion that he was homeless. Homeless, broke, and without a family. He was utterly alone. His whole demeanor shrunk and he bit at his lower lip. "Goodness gracious. I am in quite a bothersome predicament aren't I?" He muttered to himself, mind leaving Earth and entering some new world that only had himself and his problems inside of it.
((TA DAH. Hahaha. He hasn't even gotten to the streets yet to see cars! What will ever become of him? The poor guy.))

((Hhahaha, he will poop himself.
POOP HIMSELF, I SAY.
Also:.... I guess I need to make up a good reason for him to be all... like he is... uuuuuh... so... *prepares to pull something out of her a***))
"You can put them away... Huh..." Talen looked thoughtful and sucked at his lips. "Strange."
"And yeah. Talen. Yanno... it's like... It means... actually, I don't know what it means, but I've been told it's a pretty okay name. At least, I think it's alright for a name." He shrugged and grinned watching as he inspected his outstretched hand. He wiggled his fingers for him. "Yeah! Handshake. Alright! For a minute I thought you didn't know how." He shook his head and ran a hand through his hair. "That woulda been awkward, huh?"
"Abel?" Talen rubbed at his chin. "Yeah... good. I can call you something now besides guy... or... bird boy... yanno. Something more formal- Woah there!" He said, half catching Abel as he fell suddenly. "Don't have your land legs yet, do ya?... I mean... if that's the kind thing... you would... experience... I dunno. I haven't really met too many people like I just met you."
He laughed suddenly, something wild and quick. "In fact most people would buy me dinner first before doing something like that to my back!" He threw his head back and giggled ridiculously, but then managed to settle himself.
"Hm?" He raised his eyebrows. "Aliens...? Shirts... yeah. Shirts. I have some extra..." He trailed off and stood back, arms crossed. His grin grew broader. "UH. Yeah. No." He cracked up. "OH MAN! YOU'RE TOO MUCH!"
He sputtered on in spastic laughter for a bit before he quieted again. "It's alright! It's not like my mom is a hyena and my dad decided he liked that sort of thing and did the sideways monster mash or anything... it's just a gene mutation that happened over the course of the years." He twitched his ears for him to see. "And I have spots too." He lifted up his shirt a little to show them off. "It's just a mutation. Nothing to worry about." He grinned a grin with a number of sharp teeth. "They haven't found any real way to prevent it... but yeah... there it is."
"But... yeah. You look like you would be cold. I'll take care of you... I can't just LEAVE you now can I?... Or I guess I could." He started to walk away, stopped and looked at him with a tilted head. Why he felt so compelled to take him anywhere was an easy question to answer, that he was just that kind of guy. He would take anyone under his wing, so to speak, on the sole fact that was just what they happened to need, someone to watch out for them.
"... We're going to need to take some back roads, I think.... but first." Talen shook his arms out of his coat and tossed it at him. "That'll have to do for now..."
He turned to leave again but turned back. "Are you..." His dark eyes searched his face then his wings. "... Nothing. Know what? Nevermind. Let's just worry about finding you a shirt, hm?"

Abel looked up slowly when Talen explained and his face screwed in confusion. Mutations? Wasn't that science fiction stuff? He tried to look as if he understood, smiling and nodding when he figured it best to. "I see. How interesting. Is everyone like that?" His blue eyes looked to the side, thinking about this whole situation.
Where was his bag? He looked around nervously and it was no where to be found. That was all dandy. There must have been something important in there, otherwise Hans would have never given it to him to take. A pale hand tugged at his wheat colored hair and he was about to say something before Talen spoke again. He looked back at the boy and widened his eyes in surprise.
"Take care of me? Oh you don't have to! I'm sure I can get by some how. It isn't like I'm not used to this place at all. I know how to bargain and find a carriage and such nonsense." There wasn't really much he did know. He had lived under his mother's roof all his life, she did everything in the area of getting houses and horses. All he had done was go to school, get sick sometimes, take care of the horses...and die.
"Oh!" He caught the jacket, examining it for a little while. The fashion sure was odd. "Errr...thank you greatly. I really do appreciate it." A truly happy smile spread on his face as he pulled the jacket on. It felt a bit loose on his body, but it immediately began to keep him warmer. He tugged it around his body, wings tucked underneath, and began towards Talen.
"Eh?" Stopping, Abel blinked in that confused puppy manner when Talen started to ask him a question. "I beg your pard...oh yes a shirt. That would be rather pleasant!" He said happily and started to jog towards the other boy, coming up beside him. All of this human stuff was foreign to him, even though it felt it shouldn't have been. His legs felt somewhat weak underneath the new found weight, and even his voice sounded a bit different, somewhat heavier.
"Thank you, again. You don't understand how much it means to me to find someone so gracious as yourself. I was worried I'd be amongst truly devilish souls. I do have some questions, if you don't mind." He glanced to the canine looking boy and quirked a brow. "Where exactly are we? Is this America? It seems a bit like I'd imagine America."

((HOLY CREP. LET'S POST.))
Talen paused. "... Carriage?" He raised an eyebrow. "Maybe we should hold hands when crossing the street." He added on with laugh. "No way you're going out on your own."
"Hm?" He slowed down a bit to let him catch up and then started off again along the shore. "No worries. It's what people do, yanno. They help each other. Just doing what's natural." He looked thoughtful. "Even if they do fall from the sky and nearly break you in half. It's all good, Abel. Allll good." He ruffled the angel's hair slightly and grinned.
"Where are we?" Talen's smile grew wider and he looked off into the distance. "We're definitely in America, my friend. You are only in the greatest state there is. Good Ol' California. San Fran." He laughed. "You won't wanna be anywhere else after you've been here."
"This way." He said and headed inland, between two apartment complexes. "We might be climbing some fences, but trust me. It's a short cut."
((HUZZAH.))

Abel smiled again. "That's true. I like helping people too. It always makes you feel better you know? Not just because it's a good thing to do, but to see other people happy for what you did. It's just a delightful feeling." He looked into the distance with that silly smile on his face, remembering all the times he felt wonderful just by making someone laugh or smile.
"California? Wow. Well it certainly is a beautiful place from what I've seen." Sniffling, he crossed his arms and put his hands under his armpits, in hope to warm them up. "I used to live in London. It was a very rainy place. Always cloudy and cold. But when the sun did open through the clouds it was amazingly gorgeous. But nature in itself is a gorgeous thing. God certainly gave us a gift when he gave us nature."
He carefully followed behind Talen, knowing if he got lost there would be no way he'd survive in this foreign place. "I'm not very good at climbing things, Talen. I mean I can walk, jog somewhat, but after that? I'm not good at much else. I was never an athletic kind of kid. I always would just sit around and watch others do that stuff. I can ride a horse though, won a lot of races and fox hunts. They had those in London, if you'd believe it." His head tilted up to look at the apartment walls.
The silence grew on him, heavier and heavier. It felt awkward as they walked, so he drew up beside Talen again and smiled kindly at him. "I haven't been shopping in heaven knows how long. You might have to show me what kind of stuff I should get. I love clothes, but you seem to dress quite differently."

((HUZZAAAAH.))
"M'hmm..." He patted Abel on the back. "You're a sap, aren't you?" Talen joked.
"AH HA!" He said of the horse statement. "That's pretty not sappy. Horses are kind of awesome. Scare the s**t out of me, but they're pretty kick a**, I won't lie. I couldn't ride one if I wanted to. Impressive." He said slyly and easily scaled a fence, he helped pull Abel over as well.
At the mention of clothes Abel looked thoughtful. "... Huh..." He said. "I'm not... well, I'm not the biggest, er... shopper." He rolled his shoulders and looked down to his t-shirt and ragged jeans, sandals and socks. "... Yeah. You know what, I'll take you... but first." He led him out onto the open sidewalk, it was mostly empty due to the fact most everyone was in school at this hour. He looked to his watch.
"Yeah... she'll be home. Quick stop. Then clothes." He looked around and then spotted a bench. "You wait here. I'll be quicker on my own. DON'T. MOVE." Talen said firmly and then sprinted away.
It was 15 to 20 minutes later that he returned with a companion. He was dragging her by the hand, and she was tripping and skipping to keep up.
"What's so important you had to DRAG ME AWAY FROM MY WORK? Talen! Stop being so mytersious! I seriously..."
"Here!" He announced as he came upon the bench. "This is Abel, Abel, this is Alice." He gestured between their faces. "Sister." And there was a slight resemblance, both dark skinned and sharing the same dark hair, but she lacked his animal like features. She of course had more delicate features, and her hair was long and smooth, free of any strange colours or strange cowlicks.
Her dark eyes sparkled at the sight of Abel. "He's cute!" She exclaimed and then punched her brother. "You shoulda said you needed help with a CUTE friend, not one of your bum musician friends." She scowled at him.
Talen rubbed at his abused arm laughing.
Alice frightened another punch at him, he flinched playfully, and she returned her attention to Abel. "Well then! Let's get you some clothes, huh?... How did you say you found him?"
"UUuuhhh... He's from out of town. Um... lost his baggage on the bus. You know how it goes, right?"
Alice nodded her head solemnly and offered Abel a hand. "Come on then. It won't be hard finding clothes you look good in."

((I swear...I check this place always RIGHT when you post. Hahaha. It's rather silly.))
"A...sap..." Abel repeated, brows furrowing in confusion, but his face lightened up as Talen told him that riding horses was impressive. "Oh, thank you! Yeah, well that's all I did really. School work, riding horses, and that's about it." He laughed to himself at how pathetic that sounded. "Of course I got out sometimes, you know, dances and what-not. My mom went to a lot of balls." He rubbed at his hair before Talen jumped the fence. His eyes widened and he was about to protest before Talen helped him up.
"Ahhh...you're amazing. You know I'd never be able to do that, especially in my robe." Laughing again he moved after Talen before he was ordered to stay in one place. "Oh. Ah. Er...here? Alone?" He asked, eyes wide and worried, but Talen was already running away. "Be careful!"
While Talen was gone, Abel had moved into a sitting position and a few birds had landed on his arm and shoulders. He grinned at them and listened to them sing a little tune. "You sound just wonderful! If I had any singing talent, I would join you, Paul and John. Unfortunately..." He trailed off when he saw Talen moving towards him again with a yelling woman behind him. All the birds flew away in a frightened manner. "You be safe now, don't let any big nasty hawks find you. Nasty buggers they are..."
His attention moved to the new person standing before him and he smiled sweetly up at her, trying not to show his confusion at her dress...her lack of a dress. "Alice? Such a gorgeous name. It has a light tone to it, like a flower or a fairy." He said happily and stood up slowly, making sure the jacket didn't fall off his shoulders. "You don't have a tail...nor skirts." When she called him cute he blushed and looked over at Talen. "Thanks..."
"Oh! Careful! He might be a bit bruised you know...I kinda fell on..." Then Alice was talking about getting clothes and he smiled weakly, hoping she hadn't injured Talen. "Oh I was sen-"
His blue eyes moved to Talen. "Bus? What's a bussss..." This was entirely confusing to him, a bus? Lost his luggage? Why would Talen lie to his sister? Blinking he looked down to Alice's hand and took it carefully. "I sure hope not. I wouldn't want to be too much trouble for you or Talen. I only came here to help out...in something or someone...I'm not quite sure."

((I definitely vanished last night. Not even I knew where I went... hmmmmmmm....))
Alice blunk a few times at Abel. Slowly she started to laugh. "I've never had anyone say such nice things about my name before." She waved a hand at him. "Geesh, I haven't heard a guy talk like that in... well... ever."
"That shouldn't be surprising, Alice. What guy would want to talk to YOU like that?" Talen leapt away as his sister took another swing at him, both were still smiling.
Alice raised her eyebrows at him. "Yes... no tail. That's just my brother." She then gave a loud howling laugh. "Skirts? Oh... where did you say he came from?" Alice laughed again. "I haven't worn a skirt since I was seven."
"Uhm. Utah."
"Utah, huh?" Alice looked at him thoughtfully as he led him down the sidewalk. "Do they all wear skirts up there?" She waved a hand at Abel's own attire.
Talen laughed a little. "Lay off him, huh?"
Alice looked back to Abel and frowned. "You don't know what a bus-"
"A BUS, Abel, a BUS, you know." He laughed awkwardly and shook his shoulders lightly. "What a joker, this guy. I mean... you know what a BUS is." Talen gave Abel a meaningful glance and then broke away. "So, some clothes for him, right?"
Alice looked between them for a moment, her smile forgotten on her face. Slowly she started to nod her head. "Yes... um. Clothes. Alright." She tugged Abel's hand into the nearest shop and Talen trailed after. "Let's find you some things in blue! You have really great eyes, you know that? It'd be a waste of a shopping trip if we didn't find you some nice things in blue." She threw herself at the nearest clothes rack and began picking out some shirts.
"What size are you?" She asked in a muffled voice from between sweaters. "Talen, could you go looking through some pants for me?... Or does Abel want a skirt?"
Talen gave a wild laugh and walked towards the other side of the shop in search of pants.
((hahaha, skirts.))

Abel looked concerned for a moment, "No one says nice things to you? That's an awful shame. Everyone should say nice things to each other, it makes everyone just a bit happier about themselves. Just like a smile or a laugh. And Alice is a pretty name, I don't really like to lie." He said sweetly and looked over at Talen when he mocked his sister. "All men should be respectful towards a lady. They're the ones who made us, after all." He gave out a laugh and stopped again as the two siblings started to talk.
"You don't wear skirts? But aren't all la-" He was interupted again, his face looking confused and bewildered. "Utah? But I-" Well this was getting a bit worrisome, lies sprouting everywhere. Maybe he'd just let Talen tell his life story, that way Abel wouldn't have to actually lie about anything. To him a lie just felt awful.
"A joker? Well it's not really like I'm-" He gave a defeated sigh and let the two lead him into the store.
Once inside his face lit up. Everything was so colorful! He looked around excitedly and followed Alice towards a clothes rack. "Oh...this isn't really a skirt. Uh...it's a robe actually. We didn't really have to worry about clothes much. It was rather nice, everyone wore the same thing or even nothing at all, but personally I felt inclined to wear something." Abel paused and looked down at himself in thought.
"Size...I don't even know. It's been a long long time since I've had to worry about sizes and measurements. I'm awfully sorry, that must be so bothersome. I'm of no help." He quirked his lips in worry and watched Alice search through the clothes. "Blue sounds wonderful. Just like the beautiful sky."
((Haha. What a weirdo.))
