It had taken some doing to convince Silver and Ananchel that Ein was old enough to cross the street by herself. It was only a small street, and all she had to do was wait for someone else to cross, and follow them.
Honestly. She wasn't a baby any more.
Still, they had waited at the other side, watching and cheering as if she had performed a miracle-- and maybe she had. Waving, she smiled, patting the little bag she had bought just yesterday.
Hello kitty still made her heart tingle.
The day was pretty enough, slightly over cast and as she made her way down to the post box to post the remains of their letters, she smiled.
See? She was good at this after all!

Jera barreled down the sidewalk cornrows flying bign her forcing others to move out of her way. Her hooves thudded against the cement as she raced towards the store. Nyx was going to be gone for an hour , that gave her plenty of time to get to the store grab an icecream sandwhich and get home before Nyx ever knew she'd left.
Jera's was glad her guardian trusted her to be by herself, although that was mostly due to the fact that Jera had by this time shown herself compentant in most manners.there were thigns she still couldn't do and times Nyx insisted on being in control (like with food)but for the most part Jera had free reign of her life.
Darting aroudn a corner she nearly ran into, a kid with bright red hair and snakes in it.. Ein she remebered that girl from a while back she'd made sand castles and hissed togeather. " Hello Ein" she said pawing at the sidewalk and swishing her tail

The form was large enough, dark enough that Ein didn't manage to stifle the little yelp. But then memory and sanity came back, and the girl beamed.
"Unicorn!" she squealed, throwing her arms around in a slightly suffocating touchy manner around Jera's shoulder. Well, this was a very nice way of meeting up! And she was very very sure that some kind of magical Hello Kitty god had ordained it.
See? Hello Kitty was good for something after all.
"What are you doing here? How have you been?" she asked, curious. The girl looked different, but exactly the same. And look at her tail! It was so long~~.

Jera strongly resisted the urge to kick Ein for her disturbing display of cheeryness and also for touching her. " Jera not unicorn and technically centaur though I most resemble a tabula rasa which you don't know what that is so nevermind just don't call me unicorn." She stated firmly. It was good to see another criminal about, to know that she wasn't the only one who'd adapted to life here. Hopefully not the only one plotting a revolution once she was old enough to set things in motion.
"I'm going to the store for an icecream sandwhich and i've been fine, gettign stronger each day and learning new things." Jera took in as much as her developing could handle so that when the time came she'd be ready.

Ein smiled. It was the slightly indulgent smile, the one that seemed to say 'What eeeever you say. I'm listening, but that doesn't mean I'm going to listen to you.' Laughing at the long explanation, she grinned. Jera hadn't changed too much, had she? There was something about her demeaner tha had seemed to stay the same.
"Food, is it?" easily enough she hooked her arm through Jera's. Or tried too, at any rate. "I had to come here to mail out our letters... bills, and stuff. Or something like that." With a wave of the other arm (did these things actually matter?) she nodded. "I'm hungry too."
She turned to beam. "If you don't mind me following along?" not that it would stop her.

Jera grinned"Of course not I'll even buy you a treat to make up for the last time we met".This was perfect, the kid was a pushover who liked her purely based on her resemblance to another creature. Obviosuly her mind was bit scrambled but Jera could persuad her to remeber in time or atleast remember the things she wanted her to.
Jera had learned to accept that she was stuck as is but she didn't exept many other factors leading to the change and so when it was tiem for the tables to turn she would need followers and Ein would be highly suitable for just such a position. Of course there was the possibility that Ein had been wrongly accused and was not like herself but Jera would deal with that later, for now building a relationsip between them was key.

Ein beamed. Make up for the last time? Her memory of the last time seemed to tell her that nothinig went wrong... but a treat was a present, and a present was a very, very good thing in Ein's mind.
Hmm. No wonder they had parted in such good terms. "Which way?" she asked, looking around. Usually Ananchel and Silver were with her, and while she could remember what every store looked like, she had never kept an eye out for directions.
Why bother, when someone else would do that for her?
Settling comfortably next to the other girl (although it was a bit distracting to have the other girl's lower half walk behind her) she shrugged her little back onto her own shoulder.
See? They could do this, together!

"Down that street and around the corner" Jera loved this not only was she gaining Ein's trust but even if she was late returning home she had an excuse and Nyx could harldly yell at her for socialising even if she did eat icecream in the process.
Carefully she lead the other girl towards the store " do you know what you want to get?" she inquired hoping it wasn't anything too expensive. Jera recevied an allowance for doing chores around the house but it wasn't a lot and part of it was always stored away for future use.

Ein spotted the direction, and her eyes brightened. It looked like quite a pretty store! Not the prettiest (she knew there was an absurdly pink store somewhere around here. The food tasted horrible, but it was pretty to sit in.), but good enough really. And she was here with someone OTHER than family.
The day couldn't possibly improve.
Wondering if the food was going to be her treat, Ein tugged lightly at Jera's arm, trying to get her to hurry. Hmmm. She didn't really like chocolate (it was too sweet, or too bitter. Or too milky) and strawberry wasn't high on her list either (ew... fruit?). "What are you going to get?" it would be best to get something different... that way, she could have a taste of two kinds.
It didn't enter her mind that Jera might not share.
"Shooting Stars." she said, pointing to the bright blue ice cream with candy studded in the inside.

Jera grabbed a shooting star and a large icecream sandwhich then for an inexplicable reason she plucked two small pixie styx from a box and took them to the counter. Her allowance was pretty much drained now but itwas for a worthy cuase.
Once they were paid for she handed the shooting star and blue pixy stick to Ein" There you are sweets for the sweet" she said mimicing a line Nyx often used on her.

Ein squealed in delight. And what was this new addition? Staring at the pixie styk, she looked at Jera, a slight brown creasing her forehead. "Do I dip it into my ice cream?"
She had never seen _this_, before.
The comment took her by surprise, but in a good way. The snakes in her hair started to coo, hiss with a delight that seemed to mimic a purring cat. Well this was nice. Liking the unicorn a while lot more, she smiled.
And stared.
"What is that?" she asked, pointing to Jera's. An ice cream sandwhich she knew, but what kind of ice cream? "Is it tasty?"

Jera laughed and shook her head " These are pixy styx they are coloured flavored sugar and all you do is open the little pack and pour it in your mouth. Your's is blue so it's sour blueberry I hope you'll like it." jera swished her tail flicking at nothing in particularas she unpeeled the paper around the sandwhich. " This is just soft vanilla icecream stuck between two peices of semi hard brownie liek squares and yes it's very tasty" she said demonstating by taking a bite and looking very pleased.

Ein, holding her ice cream and styks in one hand opened her little bag with the other. She would save the sour sugar for later. Because whatever it was, it sure sounded tasty.
"Thank you very much." Adoration, but not quite shone in her eyes as she beamed at the other girl. Wow, they were becoming best friends! Because only best friends would give each other candy.
"It's yummy?" the snakes in her hair perked up, and she took a quick lick of her own. "This is yummy too!" she beamed.
And then asked.
"Want some?"

" You're welcome" Jera replied. This had been a rather fortunate trip for her and she had to admit that having anyone that wasn't thing one or thing two for company was enjoyable. "It's very delicious and no thank you" she responded in her native tounge.
Though upon their original meeting Ein's snakes had beenunable to communicate with her it was possible that becuase she was older now they two had the ability to converse. They were obviously intelligent creatures and connected to Ein so Jera saw no reason why she couldn't alternate between communicating with both.

The snakes in Ein's hair tilted their heads, staring at the form and turning to each other as if they were conversing. Ein giggled at this, reaching out with a playful hand.
"It tickles." she said, grinning.
Tasty? Eyes brightening, she stopped, not knowing how to continue. Well, she had said no to Ein's ice cream... but that didn't mean the girl wouldn't let her eat that sandwhich thing, right?
"Have a bite?" they were friends! What was one bite between friends?
