"Why do I have to come with you?!" Malachi complained loudly, dragging his feet as he walked behind his sister. Looking around, most of what he saw was the back of people's heads, store entrances, and those really ugly potted trees they have in malls. He had never liked malls, nothing good to climb on or any healthy meat. All gressy balls of... ew. He could smell it now... Thanks alot qweeze smotach... Thanks.
"Because I'm the only one who lets you get the clothes you want, dweeb." His pink haired sibling muttered, grabbing his sleeve and pulling him in the direction she wanted to go. A girl's store. Ew. "If you're so annoyed by it then sit out here, but don't leave or I'll only make you fried foods for a week."
"Ew! I won't move, I swear." How boring, all he could to was stand outside this girly store like a pervert or something. "Bah.." Malachi muttered quietly, turning and effortlessly jumping onto the edge of a fountian. It wasn't natural water, just like everything else. He could smell the clorine from a mile away if he had to. Skimming his padded palm through the water, he walked around the brick siding.

While most boys of this age were only in the mall because they had been dragged there by mothers or sisters (and grumpily, at that), Varian was quite different. To start off, he was very excited. And secondly...he had snuck out.
And helped himself to his mothers 'secret' stash of money, for that matter; honestly! Who hid their stash of money in a teapot?
So, feeling very satisfied with himself, he was in search of a good place to start shopping. Pausing briefly by a fountain, he surveyed the shops, and picked a place.
But that came to a quick halt, as within a couple steps, he had run into Malachi; quite literally, actually. What with the other boy coming around the fountain, and Varian so focused on his goal (shiny jewelry!), he just hadn't spotted him.

Malachi had been much to busy with the artifical fountain for him to even notice the boy he slammed into. And it was so unexpected that instead of falling backwards and onto the side of the fountain again, he fell bluntly into the fountian. Head first I might add.
"Ughble!!" All that he could get out was gibberish and when he pulled out, he instantly glared at the person before really paying attention to who it was. "Ugh... That was so gross! I've got chlorine water up my nose now!"

Opening his mouth to scold the other boy for getting in the way (and help him up, since it was the civilized thing to do), Varian shut it for a moment in astonishment. What a rude boy! And he ignored the fact that he'd been about to be rude, of course.
His face twisted slightly, and he glared down at Malachi.
"It's your own fault for running into me! You should watch where you're going."
The nerve!
Well, at least he hadn't fallen in. He was terrified of what chlorine would do to his hair...he liked his hair, thank you very much: he didn't want it green. Even if it probably wouldn't turn green from one fall in, he still didn't want to risk it.

His jaw dropped. I mean, I think I heard the 'clunck' of it hitting the floor, too. "W.T.F, dude?! I didn't even get to say anything to you!" Arm waving became invovled in this expression of shock, also, as Malachi began doing a 'wtf' arm motion.
And then the math happened.
Dude A runs into Dude B as Dude B runs into Dude A + Dude B falls in water + Dude B doesn't even get to be angry before Dude A starts talking B.S. = Dude A getting a bit water logged.
In one swift move, Malachi pushed Varian with such force that her began tripping backward and tripped himself right into the water. "Jerk!"

To put it mildly, Varian was a very easily offended boy. So when he'd heard Malachi complaining, and seen the glare, he'd 'translated' it to mean that the other boy was blaming Varian. He really needed to work on jumping to comclusions...
He gave a cry of outrage as Malachi pushed him, but then felt a smirk slip onto his face at the other's predicament. Jerk, hmm? Well at least he wasn't the one in the water.
"Serves you right."
While Varian had stumbled backwards, after all, Malachi had fallen back in. Still chuckling, with an infernally smug expression on his face, the blonde fae turned to walk right by.
And happened to slip in the puddle of water that had splashed up when Malachi had fallen in.
And splash - he joined Malachi in the fountain.

Malachi gave an incredibly loud laugh as the other boy fell into along with him. "It's your one fault for dodging my push. You should watch your balance." The mock came out in more of an upbeat tone then her hand planned, but Varian amused him to much for him to be less then upbeat.
Standing up, he shook himself violently, looking much like a dog, but on two legs. "Ow... My hair hit me in the eye." His whined as he steped out of the fountain and offered a hand to the Varian.

With a sullen expression on his face, Varian accepted the hand, and left the water. Perhaps some angry children would have refused it - but in his mind, Malachi should be offering his hand. If he hadn't, he'd have been even more angry.
"Thank you."
Grudgingly spoken, and not exactly all that appreciative, but at least he had said thanks.
Eying Malachi distastefully, Varian wrung out his hair. Ugh...times like this, he wished he had shorter hair. He was just glad this didn't happen too often.
"Don't shake if you don't want it to hit you."
The blonde fae looked like he was attempting to look down his nose at Malachi, but considering he was soaked, he wasn't having much long. Long blonde hair, drenched and dangling around his face, kind of took away from the snobby look.

Malachi gaving him another wtf expression as he continued to be rude. "Dude, get over it. I mean really, do you want people to wonder what crawled up your a** and died to make you be in such a bad mood?" He kind of enjoyed the fact he got to use one of his sister lines.
"No one likes a person who acts better then others. It's just rude." Malachi stated as he wrung out his shirt and pant legs. His shirt was making him very angry right now, mainly because he had debating wearing a long sleeve shirt or a shor sleeved one.

Varian gloomily inspected his own clothing, wondering if it was ruined..his sort of things tended to not take damage well. At least he'd chosen to wear dress pants and a blazer today, and not one of his yukata's - these wcould likely bounce back. A yukata would have been ruined from the chlorinated water.
Raising a single eyebrow at Malachi, he appraised the other with a cool expression. What 'crawled up his a** and died'? How crude.
The 'rude' comment did get to him, though...the fact that - what seemed to Varian, anyway - a plebian was scolding him about his manner's was pathetic.
"I apologize."
His voice remained as chilly as his expression, but at least he did apologize; it was only proper manners, after all...and to be completely honest, Malachi was receiving the same treatment as most people Varian met, when in a bad mood.
Albeit, he'd been in a good one...but it never took much to change Varian's temper, moody brat that he was.
Feeling in his pocket to make certain the money was still there, he attempted to speak in a slightly milder tone. And it was a bit more mild, at least, if not friendly.
"Do you often hang around fountains in the middle of malls?"
Seemed like an odd habit to him. If you were in a mall, why not shop?

Malachi gave a happy grinned and chuckled, "Tis ok and I'm Sorry. The clorine water distracted me and I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." It was truth, and he quiet disliked lying. It wasn't a cool thing to do, even his rude sister knew that.
He rose an eyebrow slightly as the new, calm tone that the boy had given him, but didn't make a big deal out of it. This kid was like a time bomb, set off by the simplest things. "Nah. My sister is shoping and I didn't really feel like looking in a store of things I can't, and refuse, to wear." He pointed toward the store his sister was in. "I got bored sitting on the bench by myself."

A time bomb...a frighteningly accurate statement. Although to be completely honest, just because his tone was calm, didn't mean he was. It just meant that he was getting a little better at controlling his temper.
Which was good. He barely got away with his horrible temper as a child - it wouldn't be tolerated by anyone if he was older.
Glancing at the store Malachi pointed at, Varian twisted his lips into a scornful smirk.
"No wonder. I have a few suggestions for better stores, if you're looking to shop."
Although now he doubted that he would be shopping...feh.
Irritably, he pushed some hair behind his ear. How on earth could he go shopping soaking wet? And of course, his mother would figure out he'd snuck out. And it was unlikely he could sneak the money back into the teapot when he squeaked every step...
Stupid boy.

Malachi was a normally happy child, but when his temper popped up he could get a bit scary, mainly because his fangs were uber scary looking. It got to the point where he scared his baby sister into a twenty minute crying fit because he growled at her when he was tired one morning. Pops defintally wasn't happy about that.
"That would be great... But... My sister made me swear to stay here, but it's not just that. She threated my with fried food to a week." A brother gave a very, very depressed expression as visualised his week. "Oh god... " He twitched slightly and began explaining to Varian how he despised fried food. It made his stomach want to eat live bugs, rather then that eat fried food and Malachi was incredibly afraid of bugs. So it all told you something.

"Fried food?"
Wrinkling his nose, Varian's opinion of that was clear; even without Malachi explaining, the boy didn't approve. He didn't understand how anyone could each such horrible things. Of course, he was a bit more picky then most...
"How disgusting."
Glancing at the puddle that had grown under him, he shook his head slightly.
"Well. I wouldn't suggest going shopping now - most shopkeepers do not appreciate their wares getting wet."
His tone remained the same, somewhat chilly tone; even him being able to sympathize on the topic of fried food hadn't changed it. Well, he was a boy who based everything on first impressions...
And he was still trying to figure out how to avoid getting in trouble with his mother.

Yes. It was a very direct and simple way of pure torture. Harsh, evil, gut renching (literatally), evil, and... oh, did we mention evil? This was what he was forced to live with.
"I know... My sibling as quite a mean person. Always annoying and over powering... What about you? Have any siblings?" Pausing to listen to the boys other comment, he chuckled and nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it would probably be really bad to to go in and soak everything."
