As Airaka followed them, her movements dislodged the sandals, and Xtol pulled them into his basket. He followed by pushing one of the pair into his mouth.
Airaka smiled at the pair, and giggled as Etain found his sandles.
"Those are cute."
She grinned, and giggled again.

Chuckling, Tovar glanced over his shoulder back to Airaka and Xtol. "Ah, yes. Very cu--" He bit his lower lip, clearly trying not to burst out laughing. "Er. I think Xtol's found himself a new pacifier."
Etain meanwhile, didn't seem to have an issue with either Tovar's amusement or Xtol's shoe chewing habits. Rather, he flopped down, removed his old shoes and pulled the new ones on. Tovar had to intervene momentarily to do up the little buckle on the side. Smiling faintly, he shoved Etain's old shoes into his satchel,taking care not to jostle Leith or his wand overmuch in the process. The little spirit seemed momentarily offended by the shoe invasion of his personal space and with an almost visual 'huff!', the wisp retreated into the satchel.
There certainly wasn't much character or personality in the wisp, but occassionally it did things that at least indicated it was living rather than a simple puff of smoke enchanted to attach to the end of a stick.

Airaka blinked, surprise playing all over her face. She looked down to Xtol, and her face tinged red. Setting him down on the floor of the mall, she attempted to tug the sandle from his mouth.
Xtol's hand shot up and grabbed the sandle to keep it away from his guardian. It was fairly obvious, to him, the sandle was important to Airaka, so he wouldn't let her have it.
Airaka backed off when it seemed like if she took the sandle from the boy he'd begin to make a scene. So she simply got back to her feet, and grinned weakly at Tovar and Etain.
"Nice sandles." she said to Etain, "They look amazingly cute on you."
Her blue eyes cast to the signs again, before back at Tovar.
"I'm going to get the stuff I need. I don't know if you want to come with me. I mean, you said you have been running errands all day. You must be tired."
She coughed slightly, and smiled at Tovar.

Tovar blinked. Oh, but he'd feel bad just...tagging along and then leaving right away. That seemed a little ill natured of them. Uncertaintly, he glanced to Etain. "Etain, do you want to go home or stay?" They had been out all day...
The blonde glanced up from his shoes to Airaka and Xtol, then back to Tovar. He started chewing on his fingers, as if sensing there was some important decision to be made. "Hungry?" he offered suddenly, rather than answer one way or the other.
Tovar nodded, ruffling the boy's hair faintly before pushing hismelf to his feet and looking to Airaka. "Y-you don't mind if we go, do you? I mean, I feel bad saying we'd come along and then cheaping out on you." It's something Michael would do, Tovar thought. Ugh - he'd been spending too much time with the man; his bad habits were rubbing off.

Airaka shook her head.
"No, it's fine. Honestly, I don't mind at all."
"It was nice to meet you. Both of you. "
She bowed her heaad, before looking back at up at them, a cheerful smile on her face. Her hand crossed infront of her, and she nodded her head.
"I hope you have a nice meal."
Xtol turned to the two, sandle still in his mouth, and wiggled his fingers.
"Baa." he grugled, pulling the purple shoe from his mouth.

Clambering to his feet and clapping his hand in Tovar's, Etain lifted his other hand and waved swiftly and erraticly at the two. "Bye-bye!"
Tovar nodded, smiling sharply. "It was nice to meet you, Airaka - and Xtol too; thanks for having us along." Carefully, Tovar nudged Etain about and began leading him back down the aisle in the general direction of the door.
"Bye-bye baby," the unicorn said, reaching out to pat Xtol on the head as they passed.
Laughing, Tovar offered Airaka and Xtol a last wave before ushering Etain from the aisle and out of sight.
"Well," Tovar said as they emerged back out on the street. "That was nice, eh Etain?"
"Hungry," the boy shot back, frowning slightly up at his guardian.
"Alright, alright. Geeze, you'd think I starved you - alright; home and we can find you some nice daisies to eat or something..."
((LE END! xD))
