Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was late afternoon, and Mika had a lot of time in his hands.
On days like this, he would usually go into the park.. But lately, the park had been insanely crowded. Seems he'll have to find a new place where he could concentrate on his projects...
He wondered what happened, and it didn't take him much to get the info. It started soon after the 'Descending angels' shop opened. Its clients, the new deuses, seemed to take the park for their private meeting place. Oh well.. Nothing good lasts forever...
That's why Mika was now walking down the streets, looking for a nice, quiet bar or something.... It took him a while, but he finally found it. A small cafe, and pretty old on top of that - it was hardly noticeable. After a moment of doubt, he decided to open the door, and look inside.

Mika certainly didn't expect that someone would wave to him just like that... He was positive that he didn't know that person before... Well, it seems it's one of those 'We're all family' cafes... As they say, when in Rome do as the Romans do. Mika smiled back, and walked towards the boy at the table.
"Hello. It's a pretty quiet place, isn't it?" If the boy will say yes, this will become his new hideout. Mika was already tired of walking.

Wow, the boy must be extremely shy... Mika thought, hearing the boy struggling to spit out each and every word. And when he stood up, he guessed what might be one of the reasons.
It was a nice dress. But he would make a better one. Some patterns near the bottom, the frills maybe a bit darker, to cut down the contrast............ When he finally noticed that his thoughts are drifting away, he quickly concentrated. It's not his problem what other people want to wear.
"That's good to know." He smiled, and took his hand. "I was just looking for a quiet place. Nice to meent you, Ailein, my name is Mika'il Kahn."

"So you're also drawing?" Mika sat next to him, and peeked curiously on the boy's picture.
...well, it certainly could've been better... But he had seen worse. At least the boy knows that anathomy isn't an oriental disease.... Give him some more time, and it should get better and better.
"May I see?" He reached his hand towards the sketchbook, and waited politely.

"...Angel?" Mika raised his eyebrows, while taking the sketchbook from Ailein's hands. "Don't tell me you're also into this whole angelic layer thing? Seems the whole town went crazy about it..." He shook his head, and started browsing the sketchbook. His animals were pretty good, but when he tried humans... He definetely needed some practice. "Not half that bad. You could use few art classes with a model, and maybe a bit more finesse when it comes to details, but it isn't bad. Keep it up, boy." He smiled, handing him back the sketchbook.

"..hey...boy, are you crying?" He almost panicked here. Why would he react like this o.o? "Hey, there's nothing wrong with it, seriously! So please don't cry! ...tea! tea is good! or cocoa! Which one do you prefer?"
Teary eyes definetely weren't something that Mika could work with. He hoped they won't stay like this for long!

"Well, at least that's good." Mika sighed, appy that it wasn't entirely his fault that brought the boy near tears.It was one of his weak points. He never knew how to react when the other person was crying... Never had too many people to experiment on with it.
"Then at least let me treat you." He stood up, and ordered two cups of cocoa, paid for them, and came back to the table. Maybe it'll make the mood a bit better. Cocoa is good.

"I'll probably have to." Mika sighed, and shook his head. "But not that I enjoy this battle thing. I just have to be winning if I'm going to get the fabrics I want. The ones I like the most, can't be bought normally - you have to win them. Too bad, too much hassle.."
He sighed again, and tried his cocoa. "...pretty good.."
