Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kiyoshi gave a clap of his hands, "That sounds great!" He said, pushing up to his feet and away from the fountain that he was sitting on, "I can't wait for you to stop by, its been so nice talking with you!" He sounded so excited over the idea of having someone his age other then his sister to talk to. Not to mention someone who wasn't an artist so he didn't have to feel as though he were out of the loop.

Baldric came over to where his son and another small boy were standing and gave a smile, "Ready to head back? I am sure Hari and Fenrir are starving by now." He said, holding a hand out to Kiyoshi.

"Yes." He said, then motioned to his friend, "This is Kabocha, hes gonna stop by later at the shop." He took hold of his Daddy's hand and in a swift motion the giant of a man swept him up into the air so that he could sit back down on his shoulder, high about the ground, "Its on the bottom floor all the way to the west side of the mall." He told Kabocha so he would know where to find Steel Soul.

"Its neat! He says he designs clothing just like you do Fenrir." Kiyoshi was saying, sitting on one of the large glass cases with his sister as they ate together, each having gotten a large piece of cheese pizza and some garlic bread for lunch, "Hes gonna stop by, I can't wait. He was nice and he smelled nice."

Fenrir gave him a strange look then a little giggle, "Kind of like you, you smell sweet." She said between bites. It was like a perfume that clung to him that smelled of sweet milk, she rather liked it, "So whats your designer friend's name?" She'd never met another clothing designer it was quite an exciting idea that she would get to do so today.

"His name is Kabocha!"

Off to the side sitting in the chairs normally reserved for people getting tattoos or piercings were Hari and Baldric who were enjoying their sandwiches. Both looked over to give the excited Kiyoshi a glance before returning to their lunches. They only had a half an hour to relax and eat before they had a man coming in to get his full back piece worked on. It was a slow going process in which they could only do so much at a time.

There was a sign up in the door saying they were having lunch but people could feel free to come inside and browse none the less.

The bell over the door gave a 'ding' drawing the attention of the four people in the shop as the other three came in. Baldric swallowed what he was eating before giving a smile and a wave, "Welcome to Steel Soul, feel free to look around. If you have any questions just ask." He told them before returning to his sandwich.

Kiyoshi gave a happy sound, hopping off the counter, "Alright, you came." He said, walking over to Kabocha. He had said he would be seeing him there made him happy none the less, as though he might have secretly worried he wouldn't be able to stop by.

Behind him, still perched on the counter was Fenrir who was looking over the boy in an interested manner. He did have pretty clothing didn't he?

Kiyoshi nodded, "And I am glad that you did." He seemed to completely oblivious to the fact that the others with Kabocha didn't looked to be exactly comfortable in the shop. He was used to the place and the looks of his two parents so none of it even phased him anymore, "Want to look around? There are lots of binders that have their art in them and one of their customers is coming by soon to have his piece worked on."

Hari gave the two quiet men a glance, lifting an eyebrow before he turned back to his food. It was on the tip of his tongue to tell them two that they were going to eat them but refrained, he was glad to see Kiyoshi making more friends so he wouldn't chase them off... he just wished they wold relax a bit.

The shop only served a certain clientele but that didn't mean they wouldn't welcome more normal, straight laced sorts.

Kiyoshi gave a smile as he hurried over to the counter and got one of the big binders and picked it up, carrying it back to Kabocha, "This is full of stuff that Dad did." He pointed at the slightly sullen looking redhead. He knelt down to put the heavy book down on the ground where they would both be able to see and opened it up to a random page full of tribal designs done in pure black ink.

Baldric looked over at Hari for a moment before he decided to be the voice of the shop since he could tell his partner wouldn't take the part. He rose to his feet and walked around the counter so they could talk easier. The giant of a man leaned back against the case, "Thanks, its not much but we are doing pretty well." He said with a smile seeming to be pretty easy going despite his looks, "Its nice to meet you both. My name is Baldric, that's my partner Hari, our daughter Fenrir, and son Kiyoshi."

"He spends a lot of time sketching in his sketch books when we are at home working on 'perfecting designs' as he calls it." Kiyoshi explained with a smile. He had watched him before on a few occasions but starring at Hari while he was drawing only seemed to agitate him, making him unable to get things down on paper, "I like his animal and flower designs best."

Each section of the binder was color coded and Kiyoshi knew what each meant so he flipped to the section marked with green which were the flowers, "They are really nice, though I don't think I ever want one myself." He'd seen enough of these done on other people to know he wouldn't be able to sit still long enough with someone repeatedly jabbing him with a needle.

Baldric looked over the man things seemed to fade away once more into silence. He looked up to the clock then back down to where Talner was standing. Soon enough their next appointment would be coming in and that man didn't allow for silence... he was loud, somewhat obnoxious, and flirted with anything with a pulse.

Kiyoshi lifted a hand to wave at Talner and Nate as they headed out, "Thank you for coming by." He told them, sharing the job of thanking customers with his sister. He watched the two men leave before looking back to Kabocha, "They seem shy." He murmured, he knew all about being shy as he had his moments of being shy but having a sister like his made it a little difficult to remain so.

Baldric watched the other men ran away before giving a shrug and returned to sitting in his seat. About five minutes left to relax, "Fenrir, if you could take down the lunch sign?" He asked of her. He set to cleaning up his work area while Hari went to the back to start gathering the needed supplies.

The girl nodded, hopping off the counter before she walked over to the door in her elevated, mismatched shoes and took down the sign, "Alright, opened for business again." She said in a cheerful voice. Much better when the store was bustling with bright colored, tattooed, pierced, and dyed people. Or at least that was what she thought.
