Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kashi shook his head. "If we leave today I would not be able to find anyone to create me some clothes, and look! I am wearing Prince Leo's clothes as well! This is a disgrace!" and sank back into the crate, shaking his head again before grabbing the hand. "We should try fetching me some clothes, I suppose. I must have something in there." And moved out of the crate.

Elliot looked at the made and gave a smile. "All right, let us go into town so my plan can work. I'm sure we can spare an hour." and shrugged on his own winter clothes before leading Leo out. "We shall be quick, I promise you will love it."

"You mustn't worry, Lewis. All I have right now is faith. If Megan can communicate with animals, I've no doubt she has tried to commune with the many in these forests, and if she did indeed see Father Winter, I have faith they will protect her. As for precaution, I will ask Leo to ask someone he knows to watch over them."

Kashi nodded, leading him out. "Plus I wouldn't make a good top anyways. I think the Prime Minister is lying to make me feel better." he muttered, hoping Tsume wouldn't hear but knowing his luck, he did. He opened his bedroom door to find Ipo with a knife, cutting up the last of the suits. "What... What are you doing?!" he shouted, horrified.

"Simple, slut. You're not going to Reta." the doll said simply "Trust me," and ran the knife though another dress shirt, tossing it behind him "This is for your own good."

"You've nothing to apologize for." and held his hand just as tightly. "Trust me, I don't want to out of my set for a moment, not even three paces back, that's too far." and opened the door, the cold winter air greeting them. "I want you as close to me as possible. I do not want to lose you."

"Do not mock me, mongrel.' Ipo hissed angrily, eye narrowing. "I will allow Kashi to do plenty of things but the one thing he cannot do is go to Reta. They prey on the weak and he can easily be mistaken for an abused bentien, especially with that physique." he snapped. "If anyone is going to kill him in any way it shall be me, not the ignorant, whore-loving Retians."

"Tsume we should leave. Let him do as he likes."

Elliot saw Leo's paranoia and caution, but it was because they were prince and supposedly princess unaccompanied by bodyguards. They reached the shop and Elliot walked inside, the inside proving to be a jewelry store. "I received your letter today." he said with a smile.

The man practically beamed. "Yes! Of course! One moment!" and moved into a back room to fetch it.

"Is there any shop you'd like to go to in particular?" he asked, looking at the other curiously.

"Th-That was sort of rude, slamming the door on him." Kashi murmured. "I-I don't have any money on me! Last I had money she came... and I don't recall where I put it." he admitted. "I'd hate to owe you money, Tsume."

"I'm getting a small gift." he said, looking at the earrings himself. "Those are rather lovely." and looked at the man walking out with a small box. "We'll take these as well."

"Yes sir, lovely choice." and took the earrings before wrapping them up in their own small box. "And the money you sent beforehand is more than enough to pay for these items." he explained.

"That is all right, you may keep the change. I'm not good with pricing things." and chuckled. "Thank you again." and turned to Leo, pocketing the box with the earrings. "You may choose to have this gift now, or after roasted almonds." he said with a smile, opening the door for the Falian before walking out after him.

"I don't recall. And even if it was left somewhere it's probably back in my room." and looked at the doorway before shaking his head. "I can wear what I have now, I'm sure I'll have time to wash when I get there. it isn't that bad." and smiled somewhat up at the man. "I've been in worse situations."

Elliot laughed. "Yes, you still get the almonds if you take your gift first." he said, continuing to chuckle. "You can have all the almonds you want after your gift if you so wish."

"But I really don't want to go." he whined, weakly hitting and clawing at the larger man. The abuse stopped as Tsume pointed out the facts. Elliot and Leo to Reta, Reta which kidnapped and made Prince Leo's life hell. "I... I understand. But.. but can I wear more Falian clothing instead? J-Just in case there's a day I don't have time to wash my suit."

"You can guess but you're going to open it regardless." and led Leo to the middle of the street before stopping, watching in his peripheral as people pointed them both out and some actually stopping at distances to see what was happening. Good, this is just what the lynx wanted. "It is winter, no one will see your necklaces in such clothes, earrings are a much better choice. Your ears are utterly adorable to be and you know that." he said, soon smiling as Leo paused, the trembling hands opening it. The prince slowly moved to one knee, almost bowing before looking up at Leo, the crowd falling almost silent around them, "Leonard De Lumine, Filius Lunae, Stella Silva Ducis, heir to the royal throne of Falia, will you do me the greatest honor and become my wife?"

Kashi raised his ears, trying to hear whatever Tsume was hearing but lowered them, deciding it was another familiar thing. "Wh-Who asked what, Tsume?" but was suddenly up against the man. "All right. I guess... we should prepare everything else, then."

The prince stood, taking the box with the ring and sliding it onto the ring finger of Leo's left hand. "Perfect fit. I should really thank your sister.' he murmured, kissing the ring before kissing Leo, hearing the happy cheers of excitement around them. "If you had said no I wouldn't have bought you almonds." he teased, kissing him again. "But yes, now we get you your roasted almonds. Excuse us." and held Leo's hand, moving slowly through the thick crowd. now he could see why this was sort of a bad idea, but he was happy because Leo said yes. There was a stupid grin on his face and nothing could get it off.
