Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shikai silently gathered his supplies and made way to the counter. He gently placed his items onto the counter for them to be purchased.

Just then, a tall figure stepped up behind Shikai and tapped him lightly on the shoulder. "Excuse me," Bryce said, his clothes rustling quietly as he straightened his posture. "I happened to notice you earlier. May I perhaps have a word with you?" The face that could have had a friendly smile only looked blankly at the other.

"Why, of course not," Bryce answered cooly. He felt an odd sense of amusement at Shikai's almost child-like timidness. "I only wanted to give you a warning. One that you had better take heed of." He paused, looked over his shoulder, and leaned a little closer to the boy. "I'm aware that you have just come from someone's house. That someone being a person I know well, and let me tell you.. I would watch yourself. Asagi is only looking to kill you. Even if he may seem kind-hearted at first, while you're out, he's planning your demise."

And, of course, Bryce had to follow. He wasn't one to give up on a task so easily. "Tenshi? That's Asagi's pet, is it not?" he asked before laughing softly. "You really are quite naive, aren't you? If you're wanting to help him, get him and yourself out of his home as fast as you can. Asagi is the type to gain trust and keep you healthy before killing you. By killing I don't mean quickly. I'm talking slow and torturous deaths that could last for days, even weeks." He made sure to keep a good several feet behind Shikai as they walked down the street. "So for both of your sakes, I suggest you get yourselves out."

Shikai stopped for a moment but did not turn to look at the other man as he said softly, "How do you know this? Where did you get information about Asagi-san?" he asked softly as he stood still.

"I got the information from my own eyes," Bryce answered, not bothering to close the distance between himself and Shikai. "You see, I know Asagi much better than you think." He was yet to mention how[/i[ he knew him, however. He didn't want Asagi to know for himself he was here just yet. "Now, I can't force you to believe me, but if you're wanting yourself and this Tenshi kid to live, then you had better."

Bryce sneered, yet his eyes held a hint of amusement. "You dolls have no heart," he scoffed at the turned back of Shikai. "You're being foolish for thinking otherwise!" Shaking his head, he decided against following him. He knew where Asagi lived and he would visit him on his own time, but not yet. Instead, the tall figure turned on his heel and started the opposite direction.
