They had dropped him off at Hobby World. No real reason to it other than 'you need a hobby', which struck the shark boy as odd but fine. He'd find a damn hobby and he'd make sure it was a loud one just to get back at them. A moment or two after he got into the hobby-based shop he re-thought his strategy because if it annoyed them because it was loud, weird, or unpleasantly time consuming it'd certainly annoy him in the end to the point where he'd probably just abandon it.
Maybe if he got a hobby they'd leave him alone and Kay would stop being a twit (not much hope of that) but at least Kay would leave him alone or actually be of use all else failing. Thus he wandered the shop of hobbies from aisle to aisle with his pupil-less eyes gazing at each item as it was offered. Painting while it seemed an interesting and quiet hobby was not very much his style and anything dealing with sculpting just seemed more messy than interesting. Not that Quinn minded messes.
Quinn paused at a 'paint your own tea set' display and stared at it. Who would want something like that they could paint themselves when they could have an artisan that did the same thing only much better? He didn't quite understand the idea that someone may want to do their own design, keep it, and be proud of it.

"Come back here, Purple, it's not real you can't eat that," Carina darted down an aisle, the young girl hissing at the floating grey one eyed blob that was her nutbar companion. The dumb thing had come with her into the Hobby shop, her father insisted she needed a creative outlet or something like that, and of course it had done something stupid. Thinking with his stomach as Purple was prone to doing the nutbar had spotted a display of painted ceramic fruit, meant to show off what could be done on unpainted ones, grabbed a ripe looking pear and flown off with it intent on eating his stolen prize. Carina could only chase after him and hope he didn't break anything.
"Nononoit'smineIwantit'sfruityousaidfruitsaregood." Purple squealed and held the shiny glazed pear out in front of it's body the nutbar easily out pacing the girl and soon losing her. Once he felt safe Purple curled up under a bottom shelf and began to attempt to devour his treat. Oh yes this would be good!
Carina groaned when she realized she'd lost sight of Purple, great now she was gonna be in trouble and it wouldn't even be her fault this time. Life was totally not fair. The redhead rounded a corner and found herself in an aisle full of kits used to paint your own tea set, normally this would have thrilled her beyond on all measure. At the moment she just asked the grey haired boy with odd pupil-less eyes "Have you seen a blob eating a pear?" Although on closer inspection the boy seemed almost more interesting than the missing Purple.

He had heard a bit of chaos and even saw something flit past him but it was too fast for him to really pay attention to it or even care to other than the fact that it zoomed rather close to touching him which he did not appreciate. He sneered toward where the thing seemed to disappear and went back to gazing at the kits with a bit of a bored expression before the apparent owner of the fast flying thing appeared and asked him a question. Quinn had no qualms against pointing in the vague direction and shelf he had been certain the thing had disappeared into, "There," he said simply as he stared at her.
Quint shifted from one foot to the other before he moved a bit out of her way so she could more easily continue on the chase. Not that he would care if she stuck around to bother him but she seemed rather keen on catching that thing, "Why did it steal something from you?" he asked not certain as to why she would even want to chase something like that. He rolled up his sleeves a little as if to either offer help or to get more comfortable it was uncertain which it was.

Carina shook her head "No not from me, from the store." If Purple had taken something that was hers there would have been hell to pay and she'd have been flinging things at him to knock him out of the air. As it was the young redheaded girl just eyed the direction that the nutbar had apparently gone in. " If you help me catch him I'll pay you," she offered the boy.

"I see," he replied and watched her quietly as she offered to pay him for the capture of the strange thing that whizzed past him just a few moments ago. Quint reached up and ran a hand through his shaggy hair and murmured a soft, "Keep your money, I'll help you." Not like she'd done anything wrong or offended him in any manner so he would help her up until she crossed a line and then she could look for the damn thing herself.
"Anything I should know about it before I grab it? Does it bite?" Quint asked as he started to head down the aisle where he had last seen it peering at the shelves quietly as he moved along. It couldn't have gone far just yet he could have sworn he had seen it 'land' on one of the shelves.
Not like it mattered if it did bite. Quint would just bite back even harder.

Carina shook her head " I've never seen Purple bite people but he does lick them sometimes," she warned. At least thus far no one had ever gotten a disease or anything from it just sort of creeped out. The curio followed after the pale skinned boy, her eyes scanning the area for any sign of hiding nutbar.
~
Feeling safe in his hiding place Purple continued to gnaw the finish off of the pear. It wasn't horrible tasting but not as nice as it would have liked either. Still the nutbar was determined to eat the rather hard ceramic fruit.

Quint let out a small bit of an 'ugh' sound at the information about the creature he was seeking. He paused when he started to hear something chewing on something ceramic, a soft light clink and he gazed at the shelves before he finally started to pull things off of the shelf, "Get ready to grab it or whatever just in case I miss it," he murmured as he continued to peek around things to try and find the source of the noise. It really wasn't what he expected to be doing at the hobby store but whatever.
Besides she needed help and despite his abrasive demeanor he couldn't ignore someone needing help.
Plus if it ate things in the store she'd get in unneeded trouble. It'll give the family back home something to be proud of him for or whatever.

Purple froze, rather unhappy about being interrupted., Then the last item was moved away and the Nutbar revealed he placed the pear down and launched himself at the Pale being that stood between him and freedoom. The smokey coloured blob bared it's large oddly shaped teeth and issued the most pathetic excuse for a growl ever given, it was more like a cross between a burp and a gurgle.

The one-eyed thing's unhappiness was nothing compared Quint's unhappiness just then. The child let out a giant, "GOING TO KILL YOU AND STUFF YOUR a** INTO A DUMPSTER IF IT IS THE LAST THING I DO," he exploded angrily.
As far as Quint was concerned, right at this moment, the girl lied and she'd better help him otherwise he's going to try and earnestly kill the damned creature.

Purple squealed and windmilled his arms as he tried to bat at the boy with his two fingered hands. This wasn't fair he had just wanted to eat his pear and people kept bugging him. "You'reverybad" the nutbar shrieked "Badboynodessert" oh yes this was totally going to help Purple win the fight with the stranger.
Carina had never seen Purple come close to attacking anyone and stood frozen for a moment. What the Hell! When the shouting started though she darted forward and slipped her fingers between the gold hypnodisk chain and Purple's flesh. She yanked hard on it and tried to pull the creature away from her helper. " Purple, stoppit, he's helping me."

Quint pushed, shoved, growled, and even bit at the thing because it was being such a god damn nuisance. "Getoffgoddamnit. Get off right now. I don't ******** care who the hell you are you're dead," he responded to the blasted creature and eventually when it seemed the girl had a firm hold his bluster thankfully disappeared and he scrambled away from the windmilling thing.
He crouched where he stood and held his hands in front of him just in case she lost control of it and it went careening at him with maddening speed. Quint panted softly, "Right. Friendly."
