Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Finding the purpose for these cards conveniently fits into my job description, so it'll be fun to tackle."

Larry pulled his hand away warmly, then scrunched his eyebrows into a ball of concentration, setting his easily-distracted mind to the problem of a meeting place. Larry wasn't much good with doing things according to set standards...he was more of a generalizing, take-it-as-it-comes kind of guy.

"How about the same place we met this morning? It's close enough to my house (although perhaps house wasn't the right term) to not be out of the way for me. ...Is that alright? Oh, and I suppose we need a time...when are you free? My work's kind of freelance, so I don't have to work around a schedule or anything."

"This evening's fine!"

Larry smiled sheepishly. "And sorry about the rock. Well, no, I take that back. I'm sorry about the rock hitting you, but really otherwise I would have spent the whole walk over talking to myself, and I must say I prefer having someone else do the job." He tacked on hurriedly, "...Anyway, you probably need to go."

He turned to head Southward, and shot the Doctor a small, open-handed wave. He had to get to this finding the Velvet Room business. The deadline was this afternoon, and he wasn't sure where to start...no. No, that wasn't right. He had a kind of a light-hearted whim where to start.

"Later!"

Ayira gazed at him, as he seemed to babble a bit about desire and his heart, and something else foreign to her. “That’s any interesting thing to say in a place like this, but who knows maybe you will be on of the rare lucky ones that finds their hearts desire in this Hell.” She said brushing hair out of her eyes and acting like she didn’t wish for something just like he did. She was Ayira Moon, she desired nothing, and expected nothing from others or from her own life.

“Down this street actually, you can’t miss it.” She said looking up at him and smiling, “And I am sure I can find something to pay you with.” She added with a wink before holding in hands out for him to help her up.

Ayira gasped quietly as he lifted her up into his arms again, he really was a rarity in this city, and that was a good ting…maybe. As they neared her place neither of them really spoke, what was there to talk about after all, the weather? Ayira was not the type of girl for idol chit chat it was a waste of time and energy, two things she needed in life and didn’t have any to spare.

“Well there’s a new question…” she said with a laugh as she tested out her leg. It stung a little but for the most part she could deal with the pain, she had received worse in her life. “I think I can manage to walk My Knight.” She said teasing him again. Looking up at her place she smiled softly,"Nice huh?" she said, not really expecting him to answer. It was a tall place with many windows and loud lively music coming from inside, it was one of the nicer looking places in this district, not that any of them were really nice to look at.

Ayira glanced back at her hero and smiled a sly devilish grin before grabbing his hand and leading over to the front door. “Well no use just staring at it, lets go in.”

"Well, alright then." He said quietly and laughed as he was called her knight again. He wasn't a knight, yet it amused him that such simple kindness made him some sort of hero.

He smiled faintly at Ayira as she took his hand as he began to follow her into the Red Rat, "...Nicer than The Pinch...Different kinds of stuff...I like it...glad it's near me...it'll be nice to come here every once in awhile..."

He looked up at her and gave Ayira an odd look as he took a sip of his ale, "I am happy with where I have chosen to live. Ayira." he stated to her. His tone on her name had a bit of emphasis, as if he had noticed her sudden change.

"I think I will have my meal and be on my way, and you have a large customer base that wants your...attentions..." he stated. Apparently he figured her out rather quickly, or so it appeared.

His free hand moved to caress something that was hidden beneath his coat. Only he was aware of what it was, and that, was a half-mask. A mask that was only in blacks and whites.

"It is quite alright...I wouldn't mind, so long as I was allowed to tend to people beyond just those that are injured here...as well as having my own external access so I do not directly disrupt your business with my patients." He said to her quietly. He then gave a chuckle at Bunny and inclined his head, "Sorry, I wasn't interested in more beyond food and conversation miss."

He then turned his attention back to Ayira, "Well...I would actually rather sit and talk, get to know the city better than I do now..." he stated to her with a warm smile.

Yami felt her sister's grip tighten on her shoulders and run across to her spine, a reaction that only she knew well. Conversation was difficult, and Yami never fully put her full trust into talking to someone unless a good conversation perked up and she could observe them closely and accurately. Though, the apple itself was suspicious...was that in their supply list? She couldn't remember, it might have been part of Hikari's, seeing how she thanked her, despite the timidness attached to her voice.

"I thank you" Yami finally said to her, as she started to approach...cautiously. She'd rather not, to put it precise, she wanted to give as much room between her and the girl as to make a break for it with her sister while she still could. Though, the thought that hit her hard was she had to admit: It would be quite rude to leave a crippled girl to walk such a distance to give and apple, even if it was considered to another close enough. "Cmon Hikari...it's rude to let her walk with that cane..." Yami comforted her sister as she started her steps. She anticipated that her sister might refuse a bit...but what happens is what happens. Yami would just see for herself what her sister would do.
