As Coda was now resting and collecting strength on Hyōen’s shoulder, he sought for the first place to eat. Strangely, it was nothing else than a small candy store at the other side of the road. It didn’t take long until trouble emerged from inside the store as both customers and the cashier herself shouted at his choice of amount; 6000 grams of candy! “Okay, okay, chill, everyone..!” she spoke in order to calm down the shocked customers, “Okay… listen, coal-haired boy, I don’t mind that you take as much as you’d like, but couldn’t you have kept it a little bit less attention-seeking? I mean-“ Her words were quickly caught by Hyōen’s confused, fire-breathing response: “B-But I haven’t eaten this stuff for years! Just this tiny bit, please..!!!” Given that he called that weight ‘a tiny bit’ only made the situation worse for the both shocked and worried cashier; what in the world would happen to his teeth, then..?

She started to walk a little faster as she heard other people talk and it seemed all to be big surprise, she couldn’t really place it. She decided not to summon any of her weapons yet but she was prepared, clenching her left hand into a fist as she stepped into the shop, ”What’s going on?” she said, showing off her Rune Knight uniform, the blue jeans, the white blouse and her magical energy already told enough. The cashier looked up at her and shook her head, ”Oh sorry, he just surprised us by ordering 6000 grams of candy.” Alice who enjoyed sweets herself turned her look at the boy that the cashier stared at too, ”Well as long as he is paying I don’t see a problem. Unless you don’t have the amount of candy that he ordered.” She frowned and looking from one to the other, this situation was so weird that it actually wasn’t.

Suddenly, all the buzz attracted one of the city’s Rune Knights as Hyōen turned his head towards the lady that entered. Spotting the uniform, his jaw literally dropped from ridiculousness. … Who called her here?, he thought in a small feeling of fright, because he didn’t want to be involved in something illegal. Fortunately for the decent-built glutton, whoever was beneath the uniform didn’t see any problem in all of this. Yes, he had cash; he was even about to pick up his wallet and everything when the chores started. “Oh well, if you don’t see a problem in it… but if he ends up without teeth later, don’t blame me,” the cashier replied to her words, walking into the back of the store in order to pick up the amount of candy that Hyōen ordered. Turning his face back to the Rune Knight in gratitude, he quickly began scratching his black-hole-colored hair. “Hehe… thanks for that, I guess. Things got a little out of hand here.” It wouldn’t take long until Coda reacted as well, suddenly flying around the strange Rune Knight; once inspecting her enough, the Rufflet began shrieking in fright with a similar fashion to when she met the other. "Now, now, Coda, at least show some gratitude for her. She just tried to help..."

When she finally decided that it was her time to leave, she heard breaking of glass and her orange ears immediately perched up again and twitched. Something was wrong, she could feel it. She turned around, ”Well it seems like something interesting is happening on the streets.” she said and she hurried off, followed slowly by Ophelia whom waved the young man and the bird goodbye. When Alice arrived on the street, she could see that across from the candy shop, two houses to the left, a window was broken in. It was from a jeweler and she was sure someone wasn’t asking nicely to borrow some jewels.

About Coda, the bird made it clear that the Rune Knight that Hyōen encountered was… wait, given by her comment, she referred to herself as a ‘cat’. “… W-Wait, like a cat person?” he spoke back with curiosity, “… that’s just like the guy I met earlier.” That was when he noticed her rather apparent cat ears, but he had never heard of such a race. Yes, he concluded that it was a race for various reasons, but back at the Woodsea, he never met a single being like them except pure, feline creatures such as the leopards. Oh well, it didn’t change anything; he would’ve thanked her verbally when the sound of breaking glass crossed their ears. He noticed her ears’ twitching and commented: “… I heard that too.” She said that something must’ve happened back at the street and quickly gave her goodbyes before leaving. When Hyōen stepped out to look her running towards the block where… he lived?! That couldn’t be, there was nothing to steal back at his room!
The broken window was leading into a jewel shop, but due to him living a few floors above, Alice would quickly spot him follow suit right beside her. “I hope that I’m not bothering, but I live there,” he quickly spoke, while Coda flew beside him in the same tempo.
Sun Jul 09, 2017 1:24 pm
When she arrived the person that had stolen the goods was already gone, she hunched down to see if anything was left that could lead her to find the person. She heard the young man next to her, "Well if we want to find him, we have to be quick. Can you ask your companion if she can spot the culprit? I believe he went that way!" she pointed to her left because the little pieces of glass that would have clung to the clothing had been trailled to that side, however soon there wasn't anything to spot anymore. She stepped inside through the door, if the companion would be able to go, she would have a quick chit chat to see what was stolen.
The old man wasn't a fast talker but he said the man, the culprit, came from above. He was dressed in all black and was blonde. He stole some diamond earings, a saphire necklace and perhaps things from above. The Elderly told her that he hadn't recongnized him from before but since they changed a lot, the people that lived upstairs, he wasn't sure if that was true at all. Alice turned her eyes on the Candy-Boy. Maybe he knew as he lived upstairs, "Please do check upstairs if you want. To see if things are different there. Considering that the man left a hole in the window, I don't believe he was careful in his search for interesting goods and money." She gave him a small smile, hoping that nothing was stolen for him and otherwise she would have to be quick.

As Coda was on that mission, Hyōen went inside the store to spot the old person who was present. Given by his words, the thief didn’t appear to stela anything extraordinary or something that no ordinary thief would get his hands on, but he thought that things upstairs could’ve been stolen as well. Alice asked Hyōen to search up there now that he lived upstairs as well, and he began worrying if the thief had perhaps stolen things from his room. With that in mind, he rushed upstairs and disappeared from the jewelshop in the meanwhile. There were, surprisingly, several rooms which were robbed for goods, because some of the inhabitants were still home right now. They were looking out of their doors as Hyōen came by, in which he also spotted his own door broken up. “T-T-There was something just earlier..!” a random neighbour warned, “B-Be careful! Whatever it was, it was extremely fast!” Unfortunately, Hyōen was half-listening to it due to his own worries of what was stolen. When he entered his room, he didn’t really see any difference in his already dryly decorated room. A slight hope slit through his heart as he opened the shelves, only to see that his necklace was the only thing gone…
After a couple of outrages that could be heard from the jewelshop, Hyōen returned to the base. His eyes were covered in shadows as he spoke silently: "Okay... whoever broke in was fast. Very fast... they didn't even see his contour." It was a brief indication of the danger that this culprit possessed, but a moment passed until his hair fueled up in deep-red flames of anger, emitting an almost eerie lighting in the room. “Arghhh! That prick culprit is going to pay for this!!!” he proclaimed with his clenched fists flailing around, one of them holding a piece of cloth that he found stuck on a neighbour’s window, specifically the one that the thief broke in from, “Jewels, coins, even watches! And my damn necklace, that ass!!!”

She heard some noise from upstairs and walked a little to the stairs to see what was happening. She couldn't help but smile a little, "Good way of saying that. Let's go. Try to find your bird and get your information, I'm going to find some answers myself. I will find you soon enough. Let's make sure that we find him. We only know he is fast, got a lot in his pockets and is dressed in black." she hurried out of the shop before abruptly stopping, she turned to her companion, "Stay here. Help the possible wounded before the glass is cleaned up." Which was not allowed to be cleaned up, her back up would look for clues, she instructed the man to give the note to her colleageus as she would dash off to find the person. She climbed up the roof and waved to Hyoën, she would see him soon, she might even be able to spot him considering where he was going, since she would have to follow the bird as well.

After waving back to Alice, his eyes were fixed up on the air as he awaited Coda’s return. The routine was pretty much like this; when returning at least a couple of kilometres away from Hyōen, Coda would soar around in a specific pattern in the sky to stand out compared to the other, random birds. Then, when spotted, the Fire Mage would quickly make it beneath the grey lifeform and whistle towards it, while Coda would be able to find him below. That was why he expected Coda to show up at the very edge of Magnolia, because they were very close to that point. It did take a little while before the female bird made its presence known at the direction expected, in which he already made his way across the streets, while he had his eyes upwards. Given by Alice’s movements, he would’ve probably been able to track her as well from below the roofs…

She made sure to dash a bit forward and climb back downstairs so she could be on the same ground as Hyõen, they always could split up if they were in pursuit of the criminal. They need to be careful though, she might not be that fast, she was faster thanks to not wearing her armour but it was a nice idea to dash soundlessly behind the criminal and catch him. She didn't know the meaning but soon she spotted someone staring at something shiny. "Careful." was all she whispered as she jumped aside into an alley to run around this man and catch up behind, so he was surrounded. This must be him at least, or so she hoped.

Further across the road, the cat knight returned to the same level as him, while the road turned more wide for him to gain more space to run. Now that it helped with his agility, they approached the outskirts rather quickly where Coda would descend to Hyōen’s arm. Given by the raptor’s sight, it looked over at another window to some discreet room at a red building. In front of that window was a suspicious person with a backpack and hoodie who quickly approached casually towards an alley nearby. Was he trying to get away now? That was what Hyōen thought as the Rune Knight whispered a warning before her disappearing indicated that she was tracking him down. Perhaps she wanted to catch him by surprise from the very same alley, in which the Fire Mage followed up by approaching the culprit from the same direction as him, ending up behind the guy as they stood near the alley. Hyōen took a quick look at the cloth that he held, noticing the similar colours to the person’s backpack…

She herself rounded the corner and he bumped into her. He indeed had noticed Hyõen as he had looked back as he bumped into her. This was way to easy, she had fallen but quickly got up herself and took the man his right front arm and turned it behind his back, "You are under arrest." she said and the rest that came with it such as: "Everything you say can be hold against you. You have perhaps the right of a laywer." She found this the most annoying thing but it was done. She shook the backpack of his other shoulder and threw it lightly towards Hyõen, "Would you be so kind to see if everything is in there?' Especially because his necklace was lost, she wanted to make sure that was in there as well, he knew how it looked. She looked up if she would see his companion, if she was near him or so, she would thank her for her great work because this had made everything a lot easier.

“E-Eh… you should watch your steps too, miss…” he couldn’t but mumble in a worried tone to the person whose name he never really got. As the thief was arrested, Coda finally flapped her wings in excitement and peeped a little. She appeared to enjoy the scene, whereas it didn’t appear so for the Rune Knight during the arrest. Suddenly, the backpack was thrown towards his arms, in which the Fire Mage quickly grabbed them without any warning. “Ah, yeah, yeah,” he replied rapidly, before he searched through, “Yes, that, this… that’s my neighbour Evin’s… that’s her jewel box…” It took him a few, perhaps a couple of moments before he looked up at the culprit’s neck, noticing something shiny and bright. It was formed as a kind of drop, but when you focused more on it, it clearly resembled a smooth feather. His eyes were darting towards the thief’s, causing him to tremble a little as he was already held up by the knight. “You,” Hyōen addressed him, holding up one index finger. A small flame was surrounding it, slowly forming a long string of pure, controlled fire that grabbed and pulled the necklace right off the man’s neck. The flame would pull the necklace towards Hyōen’s hand as he grabbed it and put it around his neck where it belonged. “That’s mine, thank you…” he commented afterwards.
“… He didn’t seem to steal that much, but some of the things are broken,” Hyōen spoke back to the knight, “I guess that I have to repair them later.” With that said, Coda kind of nodded back to Alice as a kind of tolerance that the bird had accepted towards this feline creature. What were the odds, though…
