"Have fun." Lians voice was a sigh as the clothing was shoved at him. His nose wrinkled and the red panda boy moved to the cashier, whipping out his wallet. Dagger (he refused to call her mother and she didn't want the title, either) had given him more then enough.
Thank goodness.
Cleo had her legs pulled to her chest and her chin was jutted out. The goldcrests lower lip poked out in a pout and she was scritching at Xiao with one hand. "Can' talk prop'ly. Mam sai'so." It probably had a good deal to do with the speed of her speech more then her desire to win people over.
Azoc knew Lian. Lian was not trusted yet. She couldn't act with her how she would want to. "M'no' skizzofrentic."

"As long as you're okay." Azoc scooched over to sit beside Cleo, frowning. "Can't understand half of what yer sayin'. Who cares what your mom thinks? Talk how ya wanna talk. Not how they tell ya. Same with how ya act..." Azoc sighed and leaned back, splaying out on the floor.

"S'how I talk!" There was frustration in her voice and the pouting face was shoved down into her knees, shoulders tightening. "If don' lissen t'mam, she might no'like me. "
Being upset made her talk slower, though. It was a bit more coherant at least.

Another frown. "Can't behave all the time, yeah? Even if they're angry, they still love you." Azoc slumped, sitting back up. "Can't help but wonder, though..." Her claws clicked together as she thought deeply.

"She wishes I was like Tyvie a li'l more." Cleo murmured and her head tilted back. Another moments pause and it was to the side, thumping gently on the smaller girls shoulder. "Jus' enough to be scary. M'not scary."

"Then... be yourself? Don't have to be sweet or scary. Just be you."

Cleos smile was small, and brief. "Ou'side of those, there's no me. S'either swee' or grumpy." The girl paused, "...mebbe I DO have mul'ple personalities."

"So you act different to different people?" Azoc tilted her head, confused at this concept. "... why? Why not find one and stick with it?" She didn't get it.

"They like me better." She shrugged, head tilting back to peer at her. "No' like... pick an' choose. I'm just usually happy an' s'uff. Bu' sometimes people don' like the cu' thing an' get angry. S'how I go' the cut on m'face. Made fun of her a little."
The little girl paused and took a deep breath. "And I can talk normal. I just." She said, making sure to form the last word very, very carefully, "Don't like to because it takes so long to say. Or my mouth will trip."

"So...?" Azoc smirked, reaching up to ruffle her hair. "I like you just for being you. No cute or no scary. Just you. Just act how ya wanna around me! Nothing to worry about."

"Pfffffb. Ya'd pinch me!" she laughed, batting at the ruffling claw when Lian walked out with two bags of clothing.
The panda just stared at them for a moment before he grinned, offering Azoc one. "Okay, monster. This is yours." There was also a tank top with a picture of a monster from the old storybook on it... but he didn't tell her that. A surprise, for when she got home.

Beaming, Azoc hopped up and took the bag before tackling Lian in a hug, gleeing over the clothes. "Thanks!!"
Tiil, right on cue, came waltzing around the corner, seemingly in a bit better mood than before.
"Let's go." He rumbled softly, eyes glaring at Lian and Cleo for a moment as he watched Azoc walk over to him, waving a claw goodbye to her newfound friend and brother.
He glanced idly at the bag of clothes, but said nothing about them. Tiil walked forward, in silence, letting the lobster follow of her own free will.

Tiil was lucky Lian didnt run off with her. While he was being glared at, Tiil was on the recieving end of the Stink Eye from Lian as well, his fingers twitching. There was just something about the man that made him want to hurt him.
"Bye, Azoc." Cleo raised her hand up, waving it as high as she could, little wings fluttering in the effort to keep her upright. "Bye!"
Lian remained silent, only raising his hand to wave at the lobster.
Stupid Tiil.
