Welcome to Gaia! ::

The two enter the nurse's office quietly, rolled cloth tucked under one man's arm. The other, whistling joyfully, continued to twirl the spare key around his right pointer finger. The redhead plopped down in one of the chairs in the waiting room, waving a hand at the other to proceed without him. The one waved on nodded briefly, slipping into the room at the back of the infirmary.

Stepping into the room quietly, Pyry casts a questioning glance at the newly drawn divider before turning back to Mizuki. He offers her the shirt and pants he had collected, hoping that they'd suffice for now. "Are these.... okay?" he asks, a note of concern flashing across his features. For all he knew, he'd pulled out her least favorite shirt and the most uncomfortable pants she owned; he certainly hoped that wasn't the case. He didn't know anything about women's clothing, after all; he'd only grabbed the first things his hand touched in an attempt to not intrude.

{Sorry for taking so long. I had a very busy holiday, and now am rushing to apply to schools. This is what I get for putting it off for too long...}

The young man blushed as she hugged him, hugging her back lightly, though he averted his gaze. It would be rude to stare at her bare skin, and he was almost ashamed of the marks on her; ashamed that he hadn't been there to prevent them. As she accepted the clothes and assured him that they would work, he allowed a small smile to cross his features. As she dressed, he once again glanced towards the ceiling as she hadn't asked him to leave just yet. Pyry wasn't the type to make any sort of perverted remarks, nor was Adney, though it was probably for the best that the youngest brother wasn't there; he was more the flirty, perverted type.

Blinking back to attention at the kiss, he blushed once again; he would really need to get used to these romantic gestures, or else his cheeks would permanently remain this brilliant shade of red. He turned his attention back to the mermaid's face, momentarily puzzled by this award. It takes him a moment, but he finally realizes what she meant, a more fierce blush took over his cheeks. He nodded, momentarily unable to speak, though it didn't help that he had no idea what to say. He swallows, suddenly very nervous; he resisted the strong urge to go find Adney and demand advice. Knowing this would be a bad move on his part, he takes a deep breath to try and calm himself. It was unlikely that she would reject him, if the hopeful glint in her eyes was any clue; nonetheless, he was nervous. "Would you.. um... like to go get something to eat?" he asks, not exactly looking at her. "I mean, you must be hungry after all that.... but you shouldn't push yourself if you aren't up to it...." he began to stammer, obviously very nervous. He'd probably babble on and on if she didn't shut him up soon.

A certain redhead slipped in after the man who radiated power; there was no way he was going to leave his best friend alone with a father after just asking his daughter on a date. He leaned against the wall just next to the door, crossing his arms to watch and wait. He didn't plan to do anything unless he was needed, and he sincerely hoped nothing would happen. Receiving the man's glare with ease, Adney simply raised an eyebrow in response. He wasn't being outright insolent, or at least that wasn't his intention, but he saw no reason give this man any sort of instant respect. In his world, you either earned respect, or you were treated as an Average Joe. He wasn't rude to people he'd just met, but he saw no reason to give this man any sort of special treatment. Pyry, on the other hand, better be careful; this was his first time dealing with a father, after all.

Looking up as the door swung open, Pyry at first stares in confusion at the man who enters, casting a questioning glance at Adney. His friend only grimaced in response, and the blue-haired man felt a feeling of doom overwhelm him; this feeling worsened when Mizuki greeted him, and he at once turned to look at the man. His eyes were wider than normal, and he was almost grateful for the bangs that hung in his eyes. "H-hello, sir...." he nods his head, completely at a loss for words. The spirit manages not to look to Mizuki, for he'd have to turn his head to do so, and instead sends a pleading look to his friend. The other man pointed at his friend before making a sort of claw shape with the pointer finger of his right hand, the other fingers in a sort of fist. He nodded the strange hand shape before pointing at himself; he then pointed to himself once more, before laying his palms face up in the air and waving them lightly back and forth. Not so reassured by the message, Pyry shifts his gaze to the powerful man in the middle of the room, not sure what to do next.

Noting the girl's look, Adney couldn't help but grin. Both his thumbs pressed lightly to his pinkies, he waved his hands before his face a moment before realizing she'd have no idea what this meant. Nonetheless, his grin turned to a smirk as he watched his friend continue to fumble. He said nothing, waiting for Pyry to answer the powerful man. Noting the quick glance, Adney rolled his eyes and made a fist. He slid his thumb down his cheek, and made a face that could only be translated as 'Duh!'. The other man nodded, and took a deep breath before turning his full attention to the other man. The cold confidence that he had gained and lost just earlier that day seemed to return, and his eyes iced over. "I request permission to date you daughter." he responded, using all his will to keep from stammering again. It was certainly a bold move on his part, and he hoped he wouldn't be struck for it; he silently willed his friend to see it coming beforehand, and to stop it. Pyry wasn't one who dealt well with being hit, especially when he had no desire to brawl with this man.

"I request you give the man a chance." came the final voice, putting in his request. The blue-haired man's composure was shaken for a moment; he looked to his friend with a mix of awe, gratitude, and what could only be called reverence. Adney smiled genuinely at his friend briefly, shaking his head to indicate that now was no the time for hero worship. Not bothering to nod, Pyry turned his full attention to King Triton, awaiting a response.

Waiting patiently for the king to realize they weren't joking, the red-haired man's muscles tensed as he prepared to throw himself at the king. Neither of them wanted money; they were so used to scrounging around on the streets, that they would hardly know what to do with a full bag of coins. Giving them such a reward would be ridiculous, as they'd probably end up giving it away. When the man didn't so much as raise his hand, Adney's muscles relaxed slightly. He didn't see a fight breaking out any time in the immediate future, though he could tell the king wasn't happy with this turn of events. After the king left, the red head let out a sigh of relief and relaxed once more. "Maybe I should have asked for a Ferrari...."

Nodding to the king, Pyry feels rather stuck in this turn of events; he desperately wanted to find the girl's tail, though he'd also hate for her to leave. He grimaced at the king's back as he left, turning back to Mizuki to gauge her reaction. All his calm and self assurance left him in a rush as the king left, and he felt like he would fall over. Poor, fainthearted Pyry probably wouldn't last too many more confrontations with the girl's father. When she hugged him, he allowed his knees bend and give way. He fell lightly back onto the bed, though his arms wrapped gently around the girl to keep her from falling. "I.... am not so sure of what to do now." he admitted, his voice sounding breathless.

"Stop being such a girl, Rye. You won this round, you should celebrate." the other man grinned once more, stepping forward and around to the side of the couple. He reached out, messing up his friend's hair like a knowing older brother. "Now, if you aren't going to take the lovely lady on that date, maybe I will." he threatened, already turning to leave. The threat was hollow, as it was clear the girl was only interested in the younger spirit. "Try not to have too much fun without me. I'm going to go mourn over the loss of that Ferrari." and with that, the redhead slipped from the room and the infirmary altogether. He wasn't quite sure where he was going yet, but he was sure something would capture his attention.

Having released the girl after the attack on his hair, the young man makes sure that Mizuki was steady on her feet before attending to his disheveled locks. He sighed lightly, resisting the urge to shake his head sometimes. "A simple 'You are welcome' would have sufficed..." his voice was soft, as his friend was far out of hearing range by now. "He would not know what to do with a Ferrari anyway.... It would end up wrapped around a tree by sundown."
