Ryuusei looked from side to side and gave a sighing sound of relief as he didn't spot his stalker anywhere nearby. That meant that he was allowed to relax for a while, really he was starting to think that maybe confronting the guy was the best idea so that he wouldn't have to continue out running him... but still if Darcy had sent the guy perhaps confrontation was a bad idea. Instead he just had to keep a few steps ahead at all times and things would be fine... and for now he found the perfect spot to hide out for a bit. A hobby shop! Having pressed himself up against the glass he could see all sorts of interesting things inside the most important being the rows and rows of various shelves that were full of books, one section of them seeming to be a collection of cook books.
The sparkling dragon boy slipped forward and into the store, heading straight for that area. While he wasn't really looking to learn to cook everything he was looking to learn baking, there was nothing better then getting to eat sweets, cake especially, and he wanted nothing more then to be able to make such things for himself. It seemed, from what he'd seen, that it would be cheaper to make snacks then it would be to keep buying them and since for Ryuu money was quite tight at the moment being that he was a homeless person he was all for saving money.
Of course being homeless also meant he didn't have anywhere to bake aside from when he went back to the shop but he would figure out that hurdle when he got to it. For now he wanted to find a good book that would help him on his quest to become the worlds best baking dragon!

Inside the hobby shop, looking at the books like they were going to overwhelm him at any moment, was Wynn. The pink skinned boy had absolutely no idea where to begin. He wanted a sort of hobby - something to do to that would make him feel less like a total dweeb sitting around the house while his brother was out mapmaking or exploring. Sure, Wynn was now going to be joining in that business, but that was Deimos's thing - it was what he liked to do. Wynn wanted something he could enjoy!
As the dragon boy entered, Wynn blinked at him. "Hey there. Nice...sparkles?" he commented, feeling the need to say something to the other boy as they were in the same aisle and it was hard not to notice Ryuu.

Ryuusei paused in reading over the titles when he heard someone addressing him, after all who else in the shop had nice sparkles after all, and he turned to look toward the other boy, "Thank you!" He chirped happily at the compliment and then starred at Wynn with wide eyes, a curious look on his face, "Ohhhh." He murmured then floated much closer to him, looking him over. He looked neat! He had such pretty pink skin and just look at look at those eyes of his... those eyes they reminded the little dragon of someone.
He leaned in closer for a moment, thoughtful, "You have familiar eyes." He told the pink skinned boy though he was pretty sure that he'd never met him before but still... how odd how familiar they look. His tail set to wagging behind him before he smiled, "I'm Ryuusei!" He happily introduced himself to the other boy.

Wynn blinked and leaned back a bit as the dragon boy invaded his personal space. "Um...thanks? I've got the same eyes as my brother - my twin, Deimos."
He scratched the back of his neck a bit, smiling sheepishly and extending his other hand towards his new companion. "Nice to meet you, I guess. I'm Wynn."

Ryuusei gave a little squeak sound then looked around for a moment, as though trying to determine if Deimos were here or not... but when he didn't see him he gave a sigh of relief, "Deimos is nice enough but... but the cat with him is scary!" He said, tail lashing behind him for a moment. He was glad to see especially that Gigantes wasn't here. Sure the cat had saved him at one point but it didn't make up for when he attacked Mrrh which scared the life out of the little dragon... or at least when he had been a little dragon.
Looking down at the hand that was held out to him Ryuusei took it in both of his hands, thinking that his new friend wanted to hold hands, "Its nice to meet you Wynn! Are you looking for baking books too?" He asked of him, smiling away in that happy if oblivious manner of his.

Wynn snickered at that. The wicked cat of doom struck again! "Yeah, Gigan's kinda scary sometimes, I agree." Though the cat didn't mind him, since he gave it treats and pet it. "Flan's terrified of Gigan. He hides in the attic because it chases him all over the house and tries to bite him."
Wynn shifted a little at the weird hand squeezing. "Uh, no, not really. I was just seeing what sort of books they had on stuff." he explained, trying to remove his hand without seeming rude. "So uh, is that what you're here for? Books on baking?"

Ryuu nodded, then found himself listening with fascination as he told him about someone named Flan who was also chased around and chewed on by the scary cat, something that he found quite shocking. That poor Flan thing! Well at least it had an attic to hide in, that was good.
The little dragon boy didn't even think about it as Wynn took his hand back, already turning back to look at the shelves, "Yes! I decided that I want to learn to bake for myself because it would be cheaper then going out all the time buying cupcakes." He said, tail swishing behind him as he looked over the various books that were in front of him, "Its getting cold so it will be harder to make money after all." A thought that made complete sense to him given he was used to panhandling for cash.
Not spotting the book he wanted right away his attention soon turned back to Wynn since he was having more fun talking to him then he was trying to find the right book, "If you want we can look for books together! Its been a while since i have had someone to talk with so it would be nice." For him even a few hours without company was a long, long time so a couple days was like an eternity!

Wynn blinked a bit and cocked his head to the side. My, this Ryuu was really really enthusiastic, wasn't he? Sort of like Lucifel only a teeny bit more restrained. Slowly, he stood up on his tiptoes to at least glance at the subjects of books to see if baking was one of them. Hey, if he couldn't find his own book, he might as well help the other boy, right?
"The baking books are up here." he said, pointing to a section at the top of one shelf.

Ryuu looked up toward where Wynn was pointing to before he floated up a bit higher, to look over the shelf of books before giving a happy squealing sound, "Look, look! This one is completely about cupcakes!" He gasped out, reaching out to get the book, pulling it from the shelf and looked at it as though he had found the holy grail.
'Wow... who'd of thought that they would make a whole book about the most amazing food in the entire world!" Cheeseburgers of course being a close second but they weren't nearly as fun, brightly colored, decorative. He turned to look at Wynn, holding the book up for him to see before he set to flipping through the contents to see what was on the inside. Lots of pictures, that was good, detailed explanations for both baking and decorating, even a section on frosting. This was an amazing book! He happily hugged it to his chest before checking the price, it made him wince slightly but he was pretty certain that he had enough... it would just leave him a little strapped for cash so he would need to head back to the park sometime soon since that was the best place to get coins.
"Thank you for the help in finding the book Wynn, your the best." He said happily.

Wynn noticed how happy the little dragon got at the book and then the wince, and shifted uncomfortably. "Did...did you need a hand getting it? Cause I mean, if you wanna make cupcakes, you'll have to get ingredients too, and if the book costs too much, you won't be able to get both and I could get you it if you want?" he suggested, not quite looking at the little dragon as he said this, rambling a bit and not quite sure how to say it. People were weird to deal with!

Ryuusei seemed to consider the offer but look uncertain, "Oh, wow! That is very nice of you to offer Wynn and thank you so much but I couldn't accept, not when I don't have anywhere to bake at the moment. I just thought that if i read the book I would understand for later how to make the best cup cakes!" He sounded quite enthusiastic about the ability to learn all he could from the book he was holding.
That Wynn would be so kind as to offer him such a thing made Ryuusei like him more and more, it was always interesting when someone offered him something instead of wishing for something from him. Not that he had ever minded giving out wishes, instead it made him quite happy to do such things for people since making them happy always made him happy.

Wynn blinked, "You're not allowed to use the oven at home? Or...do you not have one?" It had never occurred to him that the other boy might be homeless. "Do you want to come bake at our house?" Wait, Wynn, what were you offering? You just met him! "Gigan's not there all the time and Flan stays out of the way. My Ma might want to learn how to make cupcakes..."

"I am living at the park at the moment while I try to figure out where my Daddy is at." He explained, he didn't want to worry Wynn though since he had done alright so far aside from that one stalker that was following him about.
His eyes got wide and he could only stare as Wynn offered to let him bake at his place, "Wow... really? That just so, so nice of you!" He said, seeming to be quite surprised by his kindness since they had just met. His tail set to wagging, "I would love to do that so long as its alright with your Mother." How lucky, he had a mother that would want to learn to make cupcakes? Ryuusei somehow doubted very much that Darcy would do that even if he had been able to go and live with her and Ermingild.
He didn't want to think about that thought, pushing those thoughts aside to think instead of only good things and of the fact that they might soon be making cupcakes.

Wynn nodded, now pretty sure he had no way of getting out of this. Him and his big mouth. "Yeah, he shouldn't mind. Mama Jiang likes cupcakes and such. He's small like you too so you should be able to do stuff together without a problem." Jiang would always be his Mama, even if he was a boy.
Looking around at the hobby books, Wynn really didn't see any that appealed to him, "Why don't we get you your book and go see about getting stuff to make cupcakes?" Might as well by now, right?

His Mommy was a 'he'? That was interesting information, he'd never thought that a boy could be a Mommy. Neat! That his Mommy was small like Ryuu was made him all that much more curious about getting to meet with him as well as getting to bake cup cakes with him.
Ryuu happily nodded when Wynn said that they should get the book and cup cake stuff, "Ahh... but what about your book, Wynn?" He asked of him, feeling a little guilty that Wynn hadn't been able to get his book.
