Even working where he did in an ice cream shop, Tobias did not think he had ever seen so much candy in one place as they walked into the candy shoppe -- the walls seemed to be quite simply covered in the stuff, swarming with wrapped caramels and sour gummis and sugary bubble-gum balls in luminous colors. The slender ice-cream maker was gawking a little bit behind his glasses as he shifted the weight of the clingy toddler on his shoulders to better settle Frey there. "I wonder if some of these would go well in our ice cream," he pondered, trying to ignore it as Frey's single oversized tentacle petted at his soft hair.
For his part, Frey was dazzled by the sheer amount of sugary goodness. He'd never seen as much of it, either -- it was like a child's daydream, and he wriggled, wrapping his arms more tightly around Tobias' neck. "Da," he crooned, "everything pretty! So -color-!" He snuzzled his face against the crown of Tobias' hair, dislodging the curious tentacle, which then proceeded to take hold of the back of Frey's shirt, pulling it upward curiously.

Tomorrow was a children's party at the hospital where Noel worked at and he and Édes had come to the Candy store to see about assorted candy bags. There were strict rules on the candy, making sure each child got candy that wouldn't disturb their delicate systems. Noel was a frequent customer here, knowing all of the workers by name and being close friends with the owner. With a smile, he set Édes down on the ground and told him to go ahead and explore, not worried about his well being too much, because there was always an employee watching him. Needless to say, the place was very huge, nothing like the tiny places in the mall. There was candy from all over the world!
For now, he was talking to the owner about allergies and other sorts of amenities that needed to be made.
Édes was a bit reluctant to leave his Papa's side, but nodded, and chewed on this sleeve as he wandered the store. It was very very large, and had rows and rows of many different treats, ranging from chocolate, to hard candy, to sugar free and tofu.
After a little exploring, he spotted someone enterng the front door of the store and hid behind a shelf. Although he was pretty well hidden, his wings poked out from the sides. He did not want to be made fun of right now.. He was too tired..

"I get down, Da," Frey chirped softly at Tobias, who looked a little bit surprised. Usually, the child was cuddly and clingy, and preferred more than anything else to latch onto him like a little monkey. Still, he had to admit that it would be nice not to have the weight on his shoulders for a few minutes.
"All right, Frey," murmured Tobias uncertainly, and gently shifted the boy down into his arms, carefully putting him down onto his little tennis-shoe clad feet. "Be careful, and stay where I can see you, all right? I'm going to see about ordering some of this for the shop..."
" 'Tay, Da," he responded, and absently pulled his shirt down a little bit as he toddled away to explore the bright store, though it did very little good; his tentacle was much stronger than both of his little arms combined, and it simply kept pulling it upward. He wanted to taste the candies, but he certainly couldn't reach...
... But there was something strange poking out from behind the shelf...
"Shelf can fly...?" Frey chirruped out loud, puzzled.

Édes blinked a moment. Shelves that can fly? He peaked his head around the shelf, looking at the child who said it. "Where is the flying shelf??"
He giggled a bit, feeling a bit more comfortable. The other child had a tentacle.. So.. Maybe he was from the facility as well!! "Show me shelf with flying wings!!" He giggled more, tilting his head curiously.

Surprise widened Frey's bright eyes, and he pointed, squeaking. "Is boy! Is boy and wings!" He toddled forward, looking at the unfamiliar child. The tentacle, responding with its own curiosity, even abandoned its attempt at getting Frey's shirt off to wrap around its boy, as if possessively. "Shelf-wings were on you!"
Unable to help a crooning laugh, Frey beamed at the unknown boy. "Is pretty wings..."

"Huh??" Édes looked around, even turning around in circles trying to see the boy. Then it hit him. It WAS him. "Oh.. It's me!!" He giggled as well. His wings flapped a bit, then extended a bit, but not by much, for they were still small.
"I has pwetty wings? Dank you!" He giggled a bit more, pointing to the other's tentacle. "It's REALLLLY big! It's cool! So.. What's yous name? I's Édes"

Putting one hand over his mouth, Frey giggled happily, and the curious tentacle squeezed around his middle. "Is naughty, Da says. It makes messes," he answered. "But is my friend."
The tentacle in question then decided to unwrap, reaching out toward Édes curiously. "Nono," Frey said hastily, grabbing onto the tentacle and trying to pull it back. "I's Frey -- " he says it squeakily, while struggling to keep the oversized, self-willed limb under control.

Édes reached out a hand, gently petting the tentacle. "Aw.. It's not naugthy! Just.. Curious, is all. And really big!!"
"Fway.. Such a cool name!!" He peeps, continuing to pet the tentacle. He looked around, wondering if the tentacle could knock over a shelf. "Best be careful!! No wana make a mess here!!"

When petted, the tentacle seemed to go into a pleased trance, swaying slightly and curling around Édes' hand like an over-affectionate pet snake, and creeping up the little arm. Frey looked absolutely puzzled. "No wanna make a mess!" he bleated softly, but it didn't seem to be a problem anymore, as the pleased tentacle simply cuddled against the petting arm.

Édes wiggled around at the tentacle that snaked up his arm, squeaking as it continued to move.
"It's got me!! Oh noes!!" He pretended to flail around, but the tentacle just pulled him closer, and now he was pressed up flush against Frey's side. "Oh my.." Édes whispered, blushing a lovely crimson color. "It's really got me!! Atleast no messes!"

"H-hi again, Édes," peeped Frey, blushing cutely as well. The tentacle seemed to be quite pleased, however, as it firmly wrapped around Édes' waist and practically cuddled the other boy, slipping under the bottom edge of the other's shirt. "I s-s-s-sorry, I c-can't m-make it stop -- " He wibbled softly.

"H-hewo again Frey!" Édes whispered, feeling the tentacle move across his little body. It was so weird!! If felt as if the tentacle knew EXACTLY what it was doing.
"It's okies.. I-I knows.." He reached down and pulled his shirt back down, continuing to blush. This was awkward. WAY more awkward than anything else he had been stuck in so far. "It tickles!!" He squeaked again, wiggling a bit. His wings flapped slightly and hit a shelf, which wobbled dangeroully.
He froze completely, even ignoring the tentacle that threatened to pull his shirt off. "I.. I no wanna make mess.. " he whispered, pulling his wings tightly against his back, and pressing himself as close to Frey as he could. He wanted to make himself little.

Wide-eyed, Frey peered at the tentacle, mortified and embarrassed. "H-hey -- HEY STOP!" he raised his little peepy voice, trying to be commanding, but he really couldn't do it. It was a failing of his that his parent had noticed, but he reached out and grabbed the tentacle with one hand. "Be nice to friend! Be nice --" He pushed at it, unhappily, but the tentacle was insistent. If it wasn't going to go after Édes, it was going to go after its boy, and finally it slunk back to clasp around Frey. "G-good -- good boy," he squeaked, and petted it with his free hand. It was content enough with one for now.

Édes pulled away a few feet, fixing his shirt and wings, before turning back to Frey. He felt very shy now, afraid to get very close lest he get assulted by the tentacle again.
"So.. So.. Um.. W-what kinda kandy does Frey like..? W-we can find some.. If you and your tantathingie would like.."

"I... I... I like chocolate..." Frey wibbled quietly, biting his lip and huddling inward, squeezing the tentacle against him. "Are you... m-mad at me?"
