Welcome to Gaia! ::

The reason Cody was in the shop wasn't all that surprising. Beautiful, shimmery colors of the rainbow were cast on the white walls and the street outside, augmented by the sunlight that streamed through the giant bay window. The glass objects within were just as many colors and shapes, lining the walls, ceiling, and shelves while leaving just enough room to walk around. As such, the fact that a greed spawn just happened to wander in simply by how unique the objects were, and how pricey, wasn't all that surprising.

The rainbows dyed his clothes varying colors, changing what once was blue jeans and a dark green shirt to purple and yellow. "Woah..." he muttered, mentally making note of where the shop was for future visits when he had more money. His and Edes' current apartment lacked color and any sort of personality in his opinion. Only his little trophies and prizes were scattered amongst the bare furniture, giving the room a beautiful aura at how rare the objects in question were but even that wasn't enough for him. The greed spawn was determined to fix that after discovering the shop.

It took Cody a long few minutes to finally notice that there was someone else not quite like everyone else. It took him an even longer minute to realize he actually sort of recognized her, though the spawn was definitely older than the kid he vaguely remembered. Picking his way around the displays to stand closer to her, he struggled to remember her name while pondering whether he should just say hello or try something else.

"What about that one? It matches your eyes," Cody muttered softly, suddenly appearing at the greed spawn's side to point at a light-blue single teardrop-shaped glass object hanging in the window. The sunlight shining through it cast a pool of the same, light-blue color onto the other objects and the barely showing table. He had been quiet, hoping to not startle her and cause the objects to fall and break. And yet, he still couldn't think of her name. Damn.

Cody simply nodded when complimented, smirking a little as Cera caught the knocked over figurine before it could crash into the ground. Still had his sneaking talents, it seemed. He just hoped such sneaky tactics wouldn't eventually get him into trouble. Making so much noise seemed to be such a waste some days, and being quiet was almost second nature now anyways.

Grinning, he couldn't help but do a little bow when she recognized him at last. "It is I. You seem surprised, far more than I anyways. You've grown a lot since I last saw you, but at least you could remember my name. I'm sorry, but I honestly can't say I recall yours. Time has not been kind to my memory," Cody replied, looking almost embarrassed at this fact. Flashing her a soft smile, his gaze flickered back to the glass objects on display. So many beautiful objects and not enough money to buy it all. If only he hadn't promised Edes he'd stop stealing from stores, otherwise there would be one or two extra objects coming home with him unknown to anyone in the store.

Cody couldn't help but smile back at the radiant smile he was given. A ray of sunshine and beauty, she was. If he hadn't been gay and married, he vaguely wondered what his reaction to her might have been. Probably would have involved lots of blushing and stumbling over words. "Heh, I've just been having a strange time as of late, mostly involving being a hundred places at once it seems," he replied, glancing at her only to see she was eyeing the glassware with the same greedy look he had.

Cera... Yeah, that did seem familiar now that she said it. Memory was a funny thing some days. "Yeah, they are. Maybe the one who made them really did fall from heaven simply to create them for others. It wouldn't be that strange if you think about it," Cody continued, shoving his hands into his pockets in hopes of hiding his twitching fingers. Curse his impulsive stealing habits! Always getting in the way when he entered a nice store.
