The ‘walk’ to the store was a rather quiet one. Lost in thought, Xiu was only briefly aware of the decorations that were placed along the sidewalks of the mall. Wings folded neatly behind him, Xiu was content to have the older raevan lead the way.
Their arrival to the designated shop snapped Xiu out of his thoughts as Lazarus announced that they had arrived. Glancing up, Xiu eyed the shop curiously. ‘Evergreen Skin Care’ the shop’s sign had read. Xiu had never heard of this place before but if Lazarus was buying it for the Doctor, it must be quite good. Following Lazarus into the shop, Xiu glanced at the wares on display with wonder. There were just too many to choose from! Gingerly picking up a small bottle of facial scrub, Xiu read the contents of the bottle carefully. On it was a list of beneficial properties ranging from clearing up oil to removing dead skin. Xiu was half tempted to try it out himself but quickly dismissed the idea. His skin was fine the way it was. Actually…it was a little too fine but…
Xiu frowned. There he was being conceited again. Just because he had good skin meant nothing! Turning to Lazarus, Xiu watched as the Sigel made his purchase. Xiu wondered which skincare product Lazarus was buying for Kyou when…
“Dr. Kyou’s wound, it isn’t too terrible, is it?” exclaimed Xiu with worry. Was the Doctor using these products to heal his wounds? The frei had noticed a couple of wound healing scrubs amongst the shelves as well. A wave of guilt washed over the white frei.

"Ah, I am looking for those!" Lazarus exclaimed, ignoring Xiu's question momentarily as he headed over to where Xiu is. The scar healing lotion, this was what he was looking for. Gently picking a tube from the shelf, he observed it carefully. Light green tube, purple lavender on the front label, yes this is the one Kyou uses.
"You mean the scars from when you attacked him?" Lazarus said carelessly without looking up from the label, remembering the incident that happened outside his room that he couldn't see back then. "To tell the truth, I'm not sure." he said, tapping the edge of the long tube to his chin as he try to recall. "The weather is cold lately, he had been wearing long sleeves everyday I think. But I saw this tube of scar healing lotion on the counter in the bathroom, he must be using it lately."
"I am... actually getting this for Alex." The Sigel said, his overall visage just softens down ever so slightly. Although he never wanted to mention about it, but it wasn't hard to notice the scars that Alex had all over her body, wearing tank tops like that all the time. It wasn't that he was checking her out, but it's just something difficult to miss. He also remembered that time when he tried to.... seduce her, she looked like she was in shambles, there were wounds all over herself, burnt wounds. Perhaps some scar healing lotion would help heal her more recent wounds at the very least, she don't need anymore scars on her body.
Flipping the tube over, Lazarus read the back label. It didn't mention how long a tube would last, he wasn't sure how long Kyou had used his tube as well, because he don't remember Kyou asking him to buy it. Hesitantly, he took another tube off the shelf. These things don't have expiry dates anyway, might as well. "Let's go pay at the counter." he said as he started to head to the nearest one.

Xiu watched as Lazarus floated over to pick up a light green tube with purple lavender printed on its label. ‘Scar Healing Ointment with Lavender Essence’ the label had said. Xiu felt another stab of guilt when Lazarus commented on the scars caused by his attack on the Doctor. So Lazarus knew….
“I-I’m sorry…,” stammered Xiu as Lazarus went on to say that he noticed that Dr. Kyou had a bottle of scar healing lotion on the bathroom counter. “I…I ….should not have done that…,” Pale hands gripped the plastic bags a little tighter as the white frei fought the guilt that was threatening to overwhelm him. He had acted out of place. He had wanted to harm the person responsible for the creation of the raevans…
The white frei’s thoughts were snapped back to reality when Lazarus had then spoken once more, telling Xiu that the ointment was meant for Alex. “Alex?” enquired Xiu with some surprised before quickly recalling that…yes, Alex had acquired scars on her body too during the outbreak. Xiu wondered how Alex was. He has not seen her ever since he left the lab. Well, at least he had bought her a present.
Nodding, Xiu waited as Lazarus went over to the counter and paid the shopkeeper the required amount needed. The surprised look of the shopkeeper was nothing new to the white frei. It was usual to find people staring at the raevans. After all, how often do you find floating torsos?
When they finally exited the store, Xiu turned to Lazarus with a smile. “I’m afraid I really have to go now, Lazarus but thank you; for the gift as well as …the brief shopping together...thing,” said Xiu sincerely. “I really enjoyed that.” However, the frei chose to not mention about the mistletoe incident; feeling that mentioning such a thing would probably cause him to be embarrassed once again. “So umm…yeah, see you around Lazarus,”
And with that, the white frei left the Sigel in search of his guardian.
