 What a fruitful adventure today had been! The fae gleamed down at his pack full of todays purchases as he began to walk from the City Market. Various herbs, particularly a rare one known for numbing. A new magnifying glass. A sharp pair of clippers. And a handful of sweets - carefully wrapped and separated from his herbs of course. That would be an unfortunate mix up!
He often peeked into the marketplace to see what wares were for sale, but today was simply coming up Jekyll. Everything on his wishlist! Oh he was excited to start testing for a new, more powerful pain reliever.Dream WhiteWitz Everything on his Wish list! Its almost like it was planned rofl

Rather than locking herself up in an area like her mother, Hortense was dying to escape the confines of such a life. Ever since she woke up in the Halls of Souls, she felt lost and was determined to find a new course of life by trying everything new for the first time, whether it looked dangerous or it was simply tame. Things weren't boring if you can make it fun.
That was her motto these days... a flower child with a rock'n'roll soul as he mother labeled her. She just wanted to have fun and be free, maybe to find love or a new friend. She never know! And that was the point of it!
One day, she found herself wandering through the city market where various things of origins were sold here, from scarves to herbs, to even produce that she couldn't pronounce. She gave a vendor money and took her fruit, biting into it. The gush of juice flooded her mouth, tingling her skin with awareness as she did a little dance through the busy pace of other beings that came to get their supplies or just to simply peruse the goodies that were being traded or sold there. The shetani hummed, taking another bite of her fruit, her face tingling with happiness, and a big smile. "Good day!" she cheerfully said to another, giving a wave, not caring it was a stranger. She just felt really good about herself today! The female did another twirl, and this time it made contact with a oddly colored pae'il that she never seen before, knocking into him by accident.
"Oh no, I'm sorry!" Hortense squeaked, holding a half-eaten fruit in one hand. Her wings flared out in apology as it tucked back, leaving pink colored downy-soft feathers on the ground. "Are you o-" she started to asked, and then started eyeing the opposite pae'il, a male one at that with two coloring over his body, combining with the most beautiful wings she ever seen that glitters. And those antennas, those were fascinating. Her straight auburn red hair lazily settled against her chest, giving her gold eyes a quizzical look, and if one looked closely, a spark of fascination rang there too.Tartara Seabreeze XD it must be magic! Love the title!

Indeed, all the experimenting he could do- "OOF!" Suddenly something slammed into him, knocking his pouch out of his hands and to the ground. With a stumble he was able to regain balance before turning to whatever had hit him.
He didn't expect a beautiful lady.
Long flowing hair, bright golden eyes. Soft pink feathers.
An attractive female was talking to him. What should he do?! The pouch was forgotten on the ground. "Oh! Its okay. Really!" He considered himself a bit of a scientist. He was used to chemical reactions, numbers and data. Not talking to pretty girls. His eyes lighted on the fruit in her hand, half eaten. Then flicked back to her. "Good selection of fresh fruit of late. I picked some up myself yesterday." Talking about shopping, how lame was he? Oh right, his stuff! He bent over and scooped up the fallen bag, taking a quick look inside. The magnifying glass was intact, phew!

Hortense gave a bright smile, giggling. "Oh, you forgot these," she said, picking up little wrapped-up items. She took a sniff. "They smell really sweet," the female admitted, holding them out to the opposite male. "Are you from around here? I live not far from here. You look so interesting. I like your colors. You do need someone to brush your hair. I bet it'll look so nice all combed out," she suggested, pursing her lips at Jekyll and brushed the dirt off the sweet-smelling candy and held it out to the male, smiling.

It was a good thing the magnifying glass was intact, as it would've made him angry. He didn't much like getting angry as sometimes that led to him...strangely blacking out.
But no need for concern about that right now. Things were well.
"Ah, my candies!" He gratefully took them back from her, flashing a smile. "Fascinating really. They combine sugar water with fruit juice and heat it to a boil. This helps pull the water out of the solution so its concentrated. They then cool it to harden. Want one?" He spoke while plopping all but two pieces back into his pouch to hold one out for her.
...Did she want to brush his hair? He blinked, frowned slightly in confusion and tilted his head. "You think? I honestly have no idea what to do with it, hence the tie back." A bit of a laugh, deciding to take her forwardness as a kindness. Hey, it was an attractive girl talking to him. Obviously she was different than the norm. "I actually live close by too. I haven't seen you before though...I'm Jekyll."

"I skipped yesterday, so I came today. Beautiful weather out!" Hortense stated happily, smiling widely. The female watched Jekyll as he given her back one of the several he took from her hand from the drop. "Oh, that's...sweet! Really?! That sound like something I would like to see! I'm quite curious, mother says it is my greatest strength, also my worst weakness," she confessed, pursing her lips as she unwrapped the candy and popped it into her waiting mouth. The initial reaction was that it was so sweet, that her teeth was constantly chewing it. And then the fruity taste from the fruit juice that was used kicked in, flavoring it and her tongue.
Her puzzled look became one of sheer delight as she finally managed to bypass the chewing part and enjoyed the taste of it. "It really guud," she mumbled, giggling though it was slightly muted by the candy. When she finally finished chewing it and then swallowed, she took a breather. "That was... lovely," she beamed, giving Jeykll a kiss on his cheek. "Thank you."

"Its quite fascinating!" The fae agreed with a nod before following suit, plopping the sweet hard candy into his mouth. He let it melt naturally from the warmth of his body, gently sucking on the sweet.
"Maybe sometime I'll make a few myself. They're not difficult."
Apparently though he didn't get to learn her name. He began to frown at this realization, when suddenly the female reached over and pecked his cheek.
His face warmed as his heart jump started to a run. Vision blurred as all thought suddenly ceased.
Was this love?
"I-I-I, nooo thank you! You can have more if you'd like! Goodness, I'll even make you some if you like. Whatever flavor you want!"Dream WhiteWitz I feel like he's Leonard with Penny off Big Bang LOL

Hortense just giggled at the opposite male's reaction to her kiss tucking her arms in tightly, watching him just for a few seconds. "You really don't get around girls much, do you?" she asked, laughing at his statement about her having more candies, even to make some for her. "I would like that. It's a date," she beamed brightly. "I'm Hortense. But call me Teeny. Would you like a fruit? I got this strange-colored one, it is really round," the female said, pulling out a large orange-colored fruit. "You have to peel it, vendor told me. It's really sweet and juicy, and quite heavy."

He was in love with a girl named Hortense. And he. Had. A Date. This was either a prank, or he had died and this was the afterlife. He bashfully grinned at the pretty yellow female. "You could say that. As you probably have seen I'm a bit...awkward?" Probably the simplest way to put his issues with pae in general. Usually their eyes glaze over when he was on a roll in a scientific manner.
"Oh, yes please! Thank you." He spoke while taking the orb from her. He pierced the skin and gave a sniff. "Mmm, a citrus." Placing his thumb in the hole he had made, he hooked the skin and pulled to separate a large piece from the soft fruit. He then pulled a piece of the fruit free to hold it up. "Amazing how you can get a seed from this and make a whole new tree. If I had the room in my backyard, I'd have a whole orchard!" He then proceeded to tear it in half to pick out the seed before popping the fruit into his mouth.
It really was a delicious choice, perfectly ripened. "Mmm, quite delicious. Do you have a favorite fruit?" This would come in handy to know for their date.
HA! Him, having a date with a gorgeous lady. If he truly was dead then no one revive him.

Hortense scrunched her shoulders, smiling widely at the opposite male, her eyelashes batted in a light flirting sort of way without laying it on too thick. A vendor pretty much got it full-scale and knocked over a small cart of fruit in the process, she had to scampered and that was about a while back, a few weeks at the most. "I like all fruit; but my favorite... banana," she said, smiling. "I like it cold, it taste like ice cream," the female murmured. "You get some bananas, peel it, and mash it until it's like a creamy mixture, and freeze it. You scoop it then. Just like ice cream."
"They sell it... oh, that vendor!" Hortense said, looking around until she spotted the precise vendor in mind and them a wave. "Lovely people. You should try one sometimes. I'll make it for you... if you want," she giggled lightly, batting her eyelashes once more, this time precisely at Jekyll.

Banana. That was a delightful fruit, and somehow it was all the better since it was her favorite. He cocked his head slightly in thought as she provided her own recipe, nodding after a bit. "What a simple treat! I would never have thought of it. I would love to try your banana ice cream." He brightly smiled from ear to ear before eating another piece of the citrus in hand. He also noted which vendor she pointed to, as he'd have to go back and purchase some for her custom candies.
"When would you like to meet back up? I'm free...well basically I'm always free. Most of my time goes towards tinkering with inventions, or testing or the like, all things I can put a pause on." Was that bad to admit that he had no social life? It was the truth however, and lies or omissions would be disrespectful towards a lady such as herself.

Hortense watched Jekyll with interest shining in her eyes, or maybe that's the sun from above reflecting off her colorful irises. Either way, her eyes were wide opened and warm, and it was thanks to this pae named Jekyll. Sure he is odd, and a bit weird, and anti-social, but he is sweet and so nerdy, if that was a word. She moved to touch his arm with a gentle touch, smiling all the while. The pink and yellow female just bit her lower lip and swung her hair around and off her shoulder, letting the redness be reflected by the light above.
"I would love to see some of your inventions. How about that for a first date? I'll bring banana ice cream and you can show me how your things work!" she exclaimed happily, clapping her hands. "Next week, same time, same day? I can meet you here."

He's been touched by an angel. Well, a shetani but still technically an angel. That warm smile, the way her eyes lit up, the way she flicked her hair back. It toom considerable effort for him to not be dumbfounded into muteness that not only was such a beautiful lady talking to him but was arranging a date. With him! She was like pure sunshine. He was more entranced than he was experimenting the effects of electricity on different conductors. And that was literally shocking results!
Finally he managed to formulate words. "That would be perfect. I cant wait to try this banana ice cream concoction of yours." He supposed he should say goodbye, he didnt want to keep her. And he should put his new supplies away. But he worried if he said goodbye he might never see her again.
The fae reached into his pouch to pull another candy out. Something to remember him by. "A treat for the road, until we meet again." He spoke while offering the sweet.

Hortense just gave a giggle at the sight of his facial expression. It was certainly something to take in. "Mhm, perfect," she smiled shyly, looking away before looking once more at Jekyll himself when presented with a sweet-smelling candy. "Ooh," she sighed. "That is so nice of you!" the female said, leaning in and gave the opposite male a light kiss on his cheek. "Until then, I look forward to it very much."And then, to the end of that, until next time... Hortense walked away, her red hair colored brightly by the ensuing sun above them.

He was dead. Deceased. Living impared. 6 feet under the whole 9 yards after her cheek kiss. Either his heart had stopped beating or he just couldnt feel it.
Oh, there it was. Thumping loudly in his chest. This time he just couldnt squeak anything out. Instead he stood there, dumbly waving goodbye as he watched the enchantress bounce out of sight. Slowly his heart calmed, and sound returned to his ears. He was standing in the middle of the market place, full of hustle and bustle of pae that came rushing back in her absense. They had always been there of course, but he hadnt noticed them their whole conversation.
Jekyll took a deep breath, thanked his lucky stars, and resumed his walk home with his supplies. There would be no sleep tonight from all the nervous excitement, but that was alright. He had plenty of work to do to prepare for his very first date.
