xxx Skipping threw the streets with her hoodie dragging behind her, Lan enjoyed the gentle breeze weaving threw her pink hair. The wind is what excites her and causes her to want to run faster. The breeze makes her heart race, as if she were truly part of the wind. Lan suddenly stopped, right in the middle of the street, people grumbled at her for stopping so abruptly, and then continued to walk around her.
xxx Lan realized that if she were to continue on enjoying the breeze she might slip out of her human form. So instead she tried to fight it. Then, a sudden breeze picked up the scent of chocolate chip cookies from a nearby bakery. Lan abruptly stopped again, and after locating the direction of the scent she took off fallowing the direction it was coming from. She soon found the bakery and immediately pressed her face to the glass window, taking in the aroma of the shop.
xxx Lan then saw a lady inside holding out her finger indicating for her to come inside, and she obviously did. Walking in, Lan took a deep breath of her surroundings and sighed a lovely sigh. The older lady then walked from behind the counter and crouched down to reach Lan’s human height.
xxx“Do you like sweets darling?” she asked. Her voice was brittle and harsh, but also light and sweet, like peanut brittle. Lan figured this was the perfect kind of voice an old lady selling sweets should have.
xxx Lan nodded with her eyes shut and a smile on her face. She couldn’t talk because she hadn’t quite found a way to control her voice, for her regular voice was one that was not high pitched, and was frequently called very mature. Go figure, right? With how childish she can really act.
xxxThe old lady pushed herself up off the floor with some trouble, her whole body was shaking, and Lan was reluctant to help her, but decided to do it anyways. When she made her way back behind the counter in her crippled state she pulled something from behind the counter, it was a giant cookie that was the size of Lan’s partial demon form’s hands put together. It was exciting and Lan got super excited about the cookie, but then realized she had no money with her. Or at least any she was willing to spend on useless stuff.
xxx Lan decided to use her secret technique, one that really wasn’t so secret because she used it all the time. Lan looked up at the old lady and gave her the best puppy dog eyes she could conjure up and pulled her pockets inside out.
xxx The old brittle lady chuckled, “Oh honey, don’t worry about it,” she winked, ”it’s on me.” She handed the cookie over the counter, Lan gently took the cook and then bowed, and then used the only sign language she knows, to say thank you, by placing her fingertips to her chin and then waving her hand down.
xxx Lan skipped out of the shop, nibbling on her delicious cookie, trying to make it last as long as she could, savoring every bite. She continued skipping down the road until it lead her to a different part of town.
