Fitzroy's nose twitched suspiciously at the tomatoes as the old lady behind the stall prattled on about how delicious they were. Having never been to an organic farmer's market before, Fitzroy was a little suspicious of these foods that were supposedly better than the stuff you could just get in the normal store. Sounded just like stuck-up fruit, if you asked him. But, he'd been under strict orders from Caspian (before he descended into babbling about pesticides and cancer) to buy all of the pizza store's new ingredients from here, so he swallowed his doubts with a sigh and selected a tomato. He turned it about critically, looking for any bruises or signs of disease. The boy was almost disappointed when he didn't find any, and sniffed it carefully.
Brown eyes shot wide, wide open behind their glasses, and the old lady couldn't help laughing at the completely delighted expression of Fitzroy's face. This was the best tomato he'd ever smelled! All doubts completely washed away, he bought a bag more than he had to, and munched blissfully away as he looked for his other groceries. Whatever this organic was, it was goooood stuff!

"LET GO OF ME, YOU MONSTER!" Elisabetta grasped both sides of Roman's head to dislodge him from her chibi tentacle, which was currently trapped in his mouth. The larger one beat the side of his head with such intensity it was a wonder he didn't pass out. Blood ran free from the tops of his ears, evidence of her desperate attempt to turn the tide. Nothing worked. His toe claws dug into her thigh, wings spread out for balance as he latched on tight.
The teenager was well aware they were making a scene, but she didn't care. This wasn't grocery shopping anymore; this was war. She managed to wriggled her fingers underneath his front teeth and pry him off with a pop!, flinging the toddler like a tick to the ground. "Forget it! You-you go play or something." With an aggravated huff, she stomped off to the carrots.
Roman, however, wasn't done. He landed on his butt, a spray of her blood flowing out of his mouth and with surprise, looked up to see the villain was still there. He was tired of being....touched by the thing. It was time it died.

A tiny purple hand grasped the wrath spawn and a soft voice whispered near the boy's bleeding ears. "Later." Key's wings fluttered down in agreement as he turned to observe the place that they had been dragged to. His nose wrinkled up in slight disgust. Didn't look like anything fun or interesting was here.
Maybe Roman should go at Lissy again. At least that was something to watch. Kieran shook his head before pointing down the row of stalls. He had pointed out someone different looking - perhaps from the labs? Anyways, he looked interesting.
Interesting enough for Key to pat his twin before whispering. "Sic him 'stead, Roman."

Fitzroy's attention was drawn away from some amazing-looking tomatoes by some screaming to his right. Startled, he jumped, almost dropping his bag of produce. He wasn't exactly sure what was going on, but it certainly didn't sound fun for the people involved. Shrugging, he bought some tomatoes and continued shopping.
It was then that he spotted the two small, odd-looking children. One was very dark purple all over, and the other was speckled really cool. Fitzroy looked around, but couldn't see people who looked like their parents. Smiling kindly, he knelt down and waved to the two kids. "Hi guys. Are you lost or something?"

Roman scoffed and looked away with a snarl, his whole body shivering as he scuttled away from his twin. Later was always later. He never got what he wanted.
That is, until Kieran pointed out something so interesting that all he did was stare for a while. Was that....was that a mouth? When his twin gave the ascent, Roman's frown turned into a smile as he slowly rose up from the ground, flexing out his fingers.
He waited for the older boy to come to him. At his question, Roman shrugged, too preoccupied with the tummy mouth. If his tummy had a mouth, then where did his food go? "Your weird."

"Weird." Kieran agreed with a nod before looking around and shaking his head at Fitzroy. Nope, they weren't really lost - just temporarily abandoned. Lissy would come back after a while and take them home, hopefully. His gaze went to the mouth curious.
Did it talk too?
That would be interesting! Kieran grinned just thinking about being able to talk to your tummy. Would it agree with everything or have a different personality? He would be tempted to poke it, but with Roman as his twin Key understood the dangers of poking mouths.

Fitzroy laughed at the identical responses from the two children, still keeping an eye out for any potential guardians. "Oh, I'm weird? Why's that?" He quickly noticed that the two were staring at his belly, and he laughed again, pushing his stomach out slightly for their benefit.
"It wouldn't happen to be because of my tummy, huh? I guess it is kind of different, but I like it! My tummy-mouth's name is Pac-man, and you can pet him if you want. He might nibble your fingers, but he won't bite, I promise." After letting Pac-man gnash a few times for the sake of showing off, he smiled. "Do you want to know anything about him? You can ask anything. I'm Fitzroy, by the way. What are your names?"

Roman jumped back out of instinct, his hand coming up to shield him from the tummy mouth. He snarled in warning, then frowned and looked up at Fitzroy. What was he trying to do? And what was so funny?
Cocking his head suspiciously to the side, Roman bravely took a step forward and reaching out to touch it. Normally such a thing from him wouldn't happen. Period. The only time the toddler ever touched someone else was to inflict damage, but he was too curious not to poke Pac-man's tongue. "What's he eat?" Then, noticing that the teenager's entire midriff was exposed, the toddler scoffed. "Your shirt?"
