Stealing for a cause? (Ayaka) Empty Sat Sep 30, 2023 5:10 am

Yijun
Yijun was walking the streets of Rush Valley, he wasn't really looking for anything too exact as he had a book in his left hand as he had just bought it and was going to go to one of the local places and read it and hope that he might find some hints to finding a sure path to being a demon that wasn't him just mass killing entire towns of people to get some crazy high number of kills to earn the title. He didn't often come into the city as he still felt humans were far to dangerous to trust and being in a crowd makes it easier to play murder the daemon and get away as no one can tell you did it in the crowd.

Yijun hears someone yelling and then he sees a child running past cloaked and in a fox mask and he wondered what that child was thinking to steal so he put the book he had in his hand in the bag he wore across his back and gave chase. He hoped that he come catch up to them and at least talk some sense into the child about stealing from places cause back in Sin the monks told him that stealing will cost you a hand or a foot.

He chased the child into a side alley of a street and he saw the child slide under the cart that was blocking the side road and Yijun not wanting to give up the chase and was feeling a bit excited used his speed and ran at an angle at the wall and he ran up it a little jumping over the cart and he heard the child make a small yelping of fear sound and he kept after the child not looking to stop till he ended up catching them and maybe being lucky enough to talk sense into them before the new Rune Knights beat it into them as he heard tell that the new leader of them had no issue with killing children.

Ayaka gazed down fondly at three delicate figures shrouded in cloaks, their faces concealed behind the fox masks that protected their faces. In hushed tones, they exchanged secrets and giggles, while she, seated at the quaint outdoor table of a café in Rush Valley, savored the refreshing tang of lemonade. The tranquil afternoon unfurled, bathed in warmth, as Ayaka indulged the children with a hearty lunch.

But this trio was not her entire brood. Ayaka allowed them the freedom to explore, on the condition that they would periodically return to her side, safe and sound. Her maternal instinct was unwavering; if any of her cherished Kits were to wander astray for too long, she'd embark on a relentless quest to locate them. Since her entry into Paradise Dawn, Ayaka had found solace and purpose in the heart of Fiore. A surprising twist of fate had bestowed upon her the role of mother to these forsaken souls from the north. She shielded them, nourished their bodies, and imparted valuable life skills, all with the hope that they would embrace brighter tomorrows. In return, they became her vigilant eyes, and ears in moments when she could not be present. While their presence served as a boundless source of maternal joy.

Amidst the laughter and clinking glasses, Ayaka's keen eye caught sight of one of her charges sprinting towards her. It was not the carefree dash of a child at play; it bore the weight of urgency and fear as if they sought to escape an unseen threat. In an instant, Ayaka sprang to her feet, signaling for the other children to remain in place. With agile strides, she closed the gap between herself and the panicked child, sweeping them into her protective embrace as they neared.

In mere moments, the source of their distress would reveal itself. A solemn frown etched across Ayaka's countenance as she steeled herself to confront the pursuer.

He came running and he saw that the thief had gone into a woman's arms. "Are you that child's mother or guardian? They were stealing in the town and you might want to teach them they shouldn't do that." His voice was colder and more strict sounding as he was disappointed in what he had seen and ran into. He looked at the woman and he wondered if she was going to be one of those, how dare you speak to my perfect child like that, types he hoped not as he was not looking to get into a shouting match with the woman.

He see that there were more of them not far from where they were currently standing and he wondered if they all were thieves like this one or if this one had just gone rouge and was making this woman and the others look bad. "My name is Yijun by the way and your name ma'am?" He was taught that you introduce yourself before asking someone else their name, he just hoped the woman wasn't armed as he was unarmed and he was still new to his magic so he lacked meaningful spells.

Ayaka's fingers caressed the child's dark red hair, her gentle touch a soothing contrast to the unfolding conversation. She held the child close, her full attention fixed on the man who had just accused her precious one of theft. The man's initial approach had struck Ayaka as rather peculiar, launching into a discourse on stealing before even introducing himself. It left her slightly perplexed.

Her violet eyes carefully scrutinized the man as he continued to speak. His voice possessed an icy quality that left Ayaka feeling unsettled. Nevertheless, she maintained an even tone as she introduced herself, "Hello, Yijun. I'm Ayaka."

Her demeanor stood in stark contrast to the initial cold and stern approach Yijun had taken. Ayaka understood that her kits, mischievous as they could be, typically meant no real harm. If they did cross a line, she was always there to rein them in. This accusation of theft, however, demanded more than mere words to sway her trust in favor of a stranger over one of her own.

"You claim my Kit stole something?" She queried, her tone concealing her underlying annoyance beneath a mask of sweetness. Her smile, however, held an undercurrent of determination. The three other children huddled around her, their curious eyes fixed upon the man, reflecting their mother's protective posture.

Ayaka's maternal instincts were undeniable, as she appeared ready to shield her brood from any threat. Yet, her maternal role extended beyond mere protection; she was not above correcting her children if they needed correcting. For now, her priority was to ensure that they had indeed made a mistake, and she required concrete evidence before placing her trust in the stranger's allegations.

"Did you witness this theft yourself?" she inquired further, her sweet smile masking her discerning gaze, searching for any hint of truth in Yijun's words. "Was it from you that something was taken?"

The man looked at the woman in the eyes and with a cold tone he spoke once more. "I did in fact see the child with the stolen item, though the curse of the thief will probably make the child's hand break soon if they don't return it or admit to stealing." This was a bluff of course no such curse should be on the child it in a way was a cheap trick mixed with the monks teachings of thieves lost hands for stealing. He figures the woman will probably swiftly dispel the child's fear if it did effect them at all as he might not know who this woman really was but he could tell that she was far stronger than him he didn't even have to fight her or test this as something was telling him not to push his own luck that much.

He sighed and he looked toward the child. "Stealing is a lack of something or a pure want of something, but that is how fate tests you to check your morals, I don't think your mother here taught you to steal like that." His voice was a bit softer and kinder here as he wants the child to learn that stealing was wrong and not that he was aiming to hurt them just trying to keep the children from doing something that could get them killed as even himself was forced to steal some times in his youth as he traveled to Sin but the monks had set him straight.

Moving her hand from her Kit's hair to its chin, Ayaka gently adjusted the child's face until their gaze locked with the enigmatic eyes behind the mask. The child found themselves unable to avert their gaze as Ayaka began to speak. Her visage softened, belying the firmness of her next words, delivered in her native tongue.

"This man seems convinced of your involvement in the theft," she began, her voice a blend of tenderness and authority. "I won't inquire if you're guilty. Instead, I'll extend my hand for a mere five seconds. If it remains empty by the end of that brief span, I'll compel this man to provide further evidence. And if he can prove your wrongdoing, I'll have no choice but to impose a punishment, as you well know," she lamented.

Her voice carried a subtle undercurrent of sadness as she conversed in Sinese, intent on keeping this exchange between herself and her child by invoking a language barrier. Few within earshot would understand her mother tongue, yet Ayaka had ensured her children were fluent in it, ensuring they comprehended her every word.

Without uttering a single word, the red-headed child retrieved a small object from beneath their cloak and tenderly placed it in Ayaka's outstretched hand. The object, upon closer examination, took the form of a crystal fox, a delicate masterpiece in its own right. Ayaka's heart swelled with warmth at the sight, but she refrained from uttering the expected "aww," as she was well aware such a reaction might be misconstrued as praise for the act, despite her understanding of the motivation behind it. The gesture was undeniably endearing, and although she wouldn't reward their misdeed, she harbored no intent to punish them for it either.

"Thank you," she conveyed warmly before gently releasing Kit and ushering all the children back to their seats at the nearby table. Ayaka ensured each child had a meal and a drink before returning her attention to Yijun.

Extending the crystal fox in her hand toward him, she shifted her focus to the matter at hand. "While there is no actual curse, I'd advise against frightening my child in such a manner. Now, is this the stolen item?"

Him not trying to show that he feared her or that he had understood what she had been saying to the child, looks at her as he recovered the stolen item from her. "It is but do you really think it is wise to not punish them before someone less kind catches and harms them?" He figured that he should ask as he might be understanding but the next time they do it someone of the north might actually come for their tiny soul as the north was filled with far rougher people compared to other areas of the country, but he knows the woman will do what she does as other foolish humans do they will allow their children to be entitled and do as they wish then blame the dark race that was wrong by their child instead of punishing their child or having raised the child correctly.

He put the stolen item in a pouch to make sure he didn't dirty it with his hands and that he would return it to some guards and say that he had just simply found it on the ground saying that the small thief must have dropped it as they escaped the area. "Sorry to have bothered you though I wish you luck on your small ones not meeting a dark fate." The man started to turn and leave as he was sure that he was probably not a very welcomed guest here as there had been a small bit of friction between him self and the woman. In Sinese he spoke a few more words of parting. "Till we meet again miss Ayaka."

Ayaka had reached her limit with the man's presence, yearning to distance herself from him. Despite what sounded like threats concerning her children, she opted to turn a deaf ear, refusing to dignify his warnings with a response. His hint that their fate might take a sinister turn due to her reluctance to punish them did little to sway her resolve.

As he turned away, her thoughts returned to her precious offspring. She harbored a secret wish to never cross paths with this man again, until an unexpected utterance shattered her calm. The unfamiliar tongue he spoke resonated deep within her, causing her heart to flutter with recognition. It marked the first instance since her arrival in Fiore that she encountered someone who understood Sinese—a connection she couldn't ignore.

"Wait," Ayaka stammered, her excitement evident in her voice, her anxiety revealing itself as well. The prospect of him leaving, severing this newfound linguistic bond, troubled her deeply. "You spoke Sinese. Are you from Sin? I'm sorry; it's just that I haven't met anyone who speaks my mother tongue since I arrived here."

Her words flowed more eagerly than her initial conversation with Yijun, tinged with a hint of desperation. She extended an invitation, trying to bridge the gap between them, hoping he might stay for lunch. "Please join us for lunch. My children are generally well-behaved, and I prefer not to discipline them in public. I view it as a form of humiliation, and the consequences I provide are sufficient punishment. Forgive me if I seem lenient; I assure you, I am not."

Ayaka felt compelled to explain her parenting choices, though it wasn't strictly necessary. She aimed to soothe any misgivings he might have and extend an olive branch. It was clear he didn't hold her actions or her children in high regard, and she was determined to change his perception and offer camaraderie through a shared language.

He heard the woman's voice call out to him to wait and he turned around wondering if his action to speak in one of his mother tongues had just got him into trouble with the woman as she now knew that he had understood what she said to the child. He then heard her spilling her guts that she had not found someone that spoke it or would speak it to her. That she was sorry but he was unsure what really she had to be sorry for, he had been stepping over the boundary himself. He wished the monks that had taken him in, had shared her not punishing him in front of people and humiliating him but they were more spare the rob spoil the child and a rougher discipline as he was a daemon, they had to beat out the bad traits.

"I do come from Sin, I have also not found anyone that spoke the language out side of you. I see why you do what you do as it spares your child and appearances in public as well. " He rubbed his chin and he wondered if he should really be joining her for lunch. "Ma'am I am not looking to put you out and I am sure your younglings will also probably not have high regard after I asked of you to punish one of them." He figured that it was just better to be honest about it as humans are unpredictable and dark races are often not very welcomed by them and he was not looking to get beat up in front of children.

A gentle smile graced her lips, a stark contrast to the icy demeanor she had previously exhibited. In this corner of the world, an unexpected connection had blossomed, filling her heart with unparalleled joy."My mother hails from Sin, and I spent my time growing up alternating between Sin and Joya, though Joya mostly due to my father's influence." she revealed. Her dual heritage granted her a unique perspective, a bridge between two distinct cultures. Thus, the sight of people from beyond those realms here in Fiore was a heartening surprise.

With a subtle gesture, one that conveyed reassurance better than words ever could, Ayaka signaled to Yijun that he needn't feel burdened by accepting her offer. She couldn't allow him to slip away. "My little Kits are remarkably forgiving souls," she continued, addressing his hesitance. "They seldom dwell on past transgressions. As for inconveniencing me, you couldn't possibly. I offered willingly, did I not? If I lacked the means to provide, I wouldn't have extended the offer. Consider it a token of my gratitude for your commitment to teaching my child the ways of righteousness. One can only wonder how others might have handled the situation."

As she brushed a stray strand of violet hair from her face, Ayaka's entire demeanor underwent a subtle transformation. Her posture shifted, shedding its earlier defensive stance and embracing a more open and amicable disposition. She fervently hoped that Yijun would accept her offer this time. Any further insistence on her part might be misinterpreted as desperation, and she feared she would have to cease asking altogether.

He looked at her as her demeanor had seemed to have completely shifted and it confused him to why she was being so calm and nice now after the very cold and nearly hate filled meeting they had just had where he felt like he was in danger now he felt like she was trying to aim for a warm greeting and embrace like they were not nearly bitter enemies mere moments ago. He hear her story and he guessed he would share one of his own. "I was born in Sin and my demon father abandoned me, mother having no where else to go went back to Enca to her family who she thought would love me. They did not and it ended in a situation that sent me back to Sin alone..." That was all he was going to share of his story for now as he didn't want to scare her kids or garner any pitty from the human woman that had asked him to join her.

Upon hearing her saying that he may join them he done as she had said and he joined them and hoped that he wasn't going to scare her children away or make them uncomfortable. He heard her say that she was unsure how another might have dealt with it and he is pretty sure that most of the people in the north would have them take a punishment of caning them, cutting off a finger, breaking a hand or leg or maybe sending them to the mine under contract' of servitude, which was some of the north nobles way around the slavery protections. He wasn't going to say them out loud as he needs to make sure that he navigates the ice he has found himself on carefully. "I have no real ideas to what might have happened to them. Though I am interested more for why you are far more persistent that I stayed. I know we can speak the same tongue but was that really all your after?"

The man was still looking her over as his past had not really warranted much trust to place into human but if this did get hairy he could probably take on of the children hostage and get away then leave the child off safe in a shop or something so no harm would come to them like the risk of leaving one off in the forest would carry for him.

Surprise remained concealed behind Ayaka's composed features, yet an unmistakable undercurrent of emotion welled up within her as Yijun delved into the narrative of his origins. While she appreciated the unexpected connection to another person from Sin, her heart twinged with sympathy for the hardships he had endured.

Unbeknownst to Yijun, Ayaka found herself startled by the speed at which she had come into possession of this intimate knowledge about a man who had been, until now, practically a stranger. However, she chose to hold her tongue, for it was neither her place to pry nor did she wish to inadvertently utter something insensitive.

But her discomfort didn't end there. Yijun's inquiry into her motives for wanting him to stay triggered a pang of guilt within her. She couldn't deny his accuracy in assessing the thin thread connecting them – their shared language. It was a slender thread, but in this moment, it felt like her only lifeline. Though she knew that openly admitting this might cast her in a less than favorable light, Ayaka couldn't muster the urge to deceive. With a resigned sigh, she nodded her head, her voice calm and reassuring despite the candidness of her confession.

"I haven't been in Fiore for very long, and being so far from my own home is an entirely new experience for me. I've struggled to find people with whom I can truly connect, to understand the things I'm accustomed to. I suppose I believed that our shared language and the revelation that you've lived in Sin could be a starting point for a connection... I'm sorry if I've inconvenienced you; you don't have to stay, of course. I simply longed for a friend," she added in a soothing tone, devoid of sadness or guilt, offering reassurance even as she bared her vulnerability. Should Yijun choose to depart, Ayaka wouldn't hold him back, choosing instead to return to her children to ensure their continued enjoyment of this splendid day. Regardless of the outcome of this encounter, the day's beauty beckoned, urging them to savor it.

He is confused to why she had started acting so passive? He was unsure what was going on here with her and the little gang she had of them and he kind of wonders if she is now playing a mental game with him. He looks at her with a bit of a smug smirk. "I can see you want me to stay you don't have to keep saying that I am fine to leave. Like you said we should be friends even if we got off on the wrong foot." He sat and he ordered some tea as he was not trying to be too big of an issue on the poor woman and her time as she might have more up her sleeves than first appears but he wonders if that is really all she is hiding.

"So what is the first thing you would like to talk about or cover?" He asked in a respectful tone if there was anything that she would like to  start this on so he can cover it and attempt to make this not just an empty conversion between them.

She couldn't contain her delight when he made the decision to stay, but a slight unease crept in when he jokingly remarked that she needn't keep reminding him of his freedom to leave. It dawned on her that she might have been a tad too enthusiastic. Seated together at a table near the children, though not directly amid their playful chaos that occupied a table of its own, Yijun placed an order for tea. Ayaka, exercising patience, awaited her turn to order.

Her selection was a broad mix, showcasing her diverse culinary preferences: pork BBQ Dumplings, Onigiri, a serving of Sake, and a few orders of Dango, a sweet reminiscent of her hometown in Joya. Her appetite was hearty, fueled not only by the earlier fiasco with her kit's sticky fingers but also by a desire to ensure they had enough food between them. Once she'd conveyed her order to the waitress, who happened to be a slender girl with shoulder-length silver hair and striking blue eyes, appearing no older than seventeen, Ayaka offered her gratitude before the waitress departed. She paid little heed to the waitress's other details, her attention promptly returning to Yijun.

His question hung in the air, a query that could set off an enthralling conversation if answered correctly. However, it hardly mattered, for Ayaka had a list of questions waiting to be unleashed.

"Well, for starters, don't hesitate to order more food," she began, her tone leisurely, as she reclined in her chair with one leg gracefully crossed over the other and her hands resting in her lap. "I've ordered a selection of my hometown favorites, more than enough to satisfy both of us. Tell me, is there anything from Sin that you miss? Have you ventured beyond Sin or Enca, perhaps exploring other lands outside of Fiore, excluding Fiore itself, of course?"

She adopted a gentle approach, steering clear of weighty topics given what he had already shared. Questions about his family, she surmised, could wait for a later, more intimate moment, if their connection ever ventured that far.

Yijun
Yijun listened to the woman's statement that he could order more but he didn't really want to risk it as usually eating and running is a decently sized crime and would probably set him back quite a distance so he was going to air on the side of caution. He then thought about her questions that she asked some seemed a bit generic then he spoke. "Well I guess I miss the nagging monks sometimes since I came here, plus some of the mountain views. Mainly my time training was spent in Sin but sometimes would visit Bellum and the kingdom to the right of Sin that had a strange name. After the monks told me it was time to set off on my own, I went to Joya and joined a group and gambled as well as saw "sights"." He was not going to explain the sights he saw while he was in Joya.

He was unsure where she was going to lead this conversion, but at some point he is probably going to have to ask about if these are her children by blood or children she took in and if any of them have any kind of special magic that might be a bait to lure in slavers or would be a risk of going missing if not watched. Once his tea graced the table he thought he had seen the woman give him a strange look and he wondered why that could have been maybe she could tell he was a daemon or maybe something else was the issue.

As Ayaka sat there, her gaze naturally gravitated towards Yijun's features. He possessed a striking handsomeness that was hard to ignore. She couldn't help but admire him, though she certainly didn't want to appear impolite by staring too intently. So, instead, she bestowed upon him the kind of attention that any conversational partner deserved while they engaged in conversation.

The topic of monks had piqued her curiosity. She wondered if Yijun had sought solace in a monastery after enduring rejection from his family back in Enca. What had the monks taught him during his time there? Her inquisitive mind churned with an ever-growing list of questions, but she kept them locked away for the time being, waiting for the right moment to unleash them.

Before she could utter a word, her children approached, their eyes fixed on Yijun. One of the children took the lead, gently tugging on Ayaka's shirt. She leaned closer as the child whispered into her ear. It was clear that her little ones were ready to depart, and they wanted her to know. Ayaka nodded in acknowledgment once the message was conveyed and bid each child farewell with a tender kiss on the forehead, even though their masks concealed this affectionate gesture. "Don't stay out too long, and be sure not to get into any more trouble," she advised them with a warm smile as they scurried away.

Turning her attention back to Yijun, Ayaka apologized, saying, "Sorry about that interruption. If you have any questions for me, please feel free to ask. I'm an open book for the most part." As she uttered these words, the food and tea they had ordered arrived, and she wasted no time indulging in one of the BBQ pork buns. Hunger had stealthily crept up on her, and as the delectable combination of sweet and savory meat touched her taste buds, she realized she would thoroughly enjoy her meal today.

Yijun
Yijun watched as her "children" were taking off and he guessed that he might as well ask her if they were her's by blood or if she had taken them in to be her own or if something else shady was afoot here with the woman as she didn't seem to have a ring and those children looked a bit old to be the woman's by her looks but he might just be misguided in that. "So are those your children by blood or are they adopted from the streets?" He was not sure if he had really put that very gently but he hoped it didn't come off too badly but he just really had no idea to if this would all work out or not as there were many things in this country that still leave him guessing as many things can happen and have happened since he came to this place most of them were not very good for him.

He sipped his tea and he looked the woman over again as she doesn't look too bad for a human but he was not here for trying to court a stranger and a woman that has a ton of what are humanoid children, he was not sure of their races so he was not sure if any of them were anything but human or demi human at least so he will wait till a better time to ask about their races. He looked around as he had a strange feeling about something that felt near by but he couldn't be sure of what it was or why it was.

Taking a delicate sip of water to cleanse her palate, Ayaka prepared herself to delve into one of the diverse onigiri assortments spread before her. As the taste of the succulent salmon filled her mouth, her attention remained steadfast, not wavering from Yijun. She was ready to respond once he concluded his words. After swallowing her food and taking another sip of water, she leaned back in her chair, her thoughts drifting to the intriguing circumstances she now found herself in.

It was an unusual situation, wasn't it? A woman surrounded by so many children, caring for them as if they were her own flesh and blood, fiercely protective of their well-being. Ayaka understood why Yijun might be curious. However, she had no secrets to conceal regarding this matter, and she was more than willing to share how she had become a mother to these children.

"They are not my biological children," Ayaka began, her voice tinged with warmth and sincerity. "Some of them came to me from the unforgiving streets, seeking refuge. Others had fled from abusive situations, abandoned by those who should have cared for them, and a few were rescued from the clutches of enslavement. Their beginnings were marked by hardship, but now they have better lives. I am their mother, providing them with protection, nourishment, clothing, education in various life skills, and most importantly, love. They come from different races, from various corners of the world, not just the northern region, and it seems I gain a new child almost every day."

A gentle smile played on Ayaka's lips as she took another bite of her onigiri, her heart swelling with pride as she spoke of her beloved charges. They were the epitome of innocence in a harsh world, and they depended on her for trust, protection, and shelter from those who were meant to safeguard them.

"For the most part, they are well-behaved, but there are a few who can be a bit...rough around the edges," she continued a glint of amusement in her eyes. "Up here in the north, the locals know who they belong to, hence the masks. It's a story for another time unless you're curious and would like to hear it now."

A light, melodious chuckle escaped her lips as she deftly redirected the conversation back to Yijun.

"So, Yijun, do you belong to a guild? What rank do you hold? It appears that guilds hold great significance in Fiore, and its people value their hierarchy."



#19Yijun

Yijun
Yijun listened to the woman speak but he was not really moved by her actions as humans often just have their own motives for doing such things. He was not really sure how to feel as he knows often times just freeing slaves makes them useless so depending on the age of the person freed they might just seek to return to being a slave as it is all they know and is a more targeted thing than having to be thrown into the deep end without a true path so Yijun tries to stay away from freeing slaves as in the long run freeing them makes you either be their new master or some one that sent them off to die as they had nothing more to truly live for in the end, or a unintended other thing happening like their families being killed thinking it was a trap.

Yijun held his tongue about this matter as children were most likely young enough to be retrained. Yijun looked at the woman and he wonders if she hadn't been listening when he said he had joined a group in Joya, but he figured that maybe she had misunderstood him so he planned he would explain it and then ask her a question of his own to her after it. "Well I said I joined a group in Joya and I really am still fresh blood so I don't really hold a rank as off yet with them I think of it more like a fledgling."

He then thought up what he was going to ask her as he felt he needed to ask her if she is alone for the care of the children or not so he knows if some hyped up guy was about to come running to try and attack him. "Do you have a husband, boyfriend or lover that helps you care for them?" He wanted to make sure that he was not talking to a married or taken woman that might cause him to be attacked by a jealous lover or have some one start calling him a dirty home wrecker.

Ah so he was currently with a Joyan group, she misunderstood him when he brought it up the first time and she assumed that he had been with them before but wasn't with them now. That was interesting she hadn't heard of a Joyan group roaming outside of Joya before. Mentally she shrugged it off, it was a nice bit of information and maybe she would go see what that group was about, but right now there was no way she could show her face back in Joya. Pouring herself a cup of tea and taking a nice slow sip, Yijun's next words almost caused her to choke but she kept her composure.

No, I do it alone. It's not a problem for me and I prefer it. Some of the children don't do well around men anyway. Besides, I think even if I were to have any one of those I still wouldn't want them to help me, if they offered and got along well with the children sure but it's not something I would want another person for. Smiling as she leaned back in her chair, feeling that she had been a little too tense when she spoke, Ayaka didn't notice the two small children coming up behind her until she felt a tug at her side. Because the tug felt so low to the ground she didn't go into attack mode and instead looked down to see two of her very own. Leaning close to them they spoke in her ear and when they were done she stood up, placed enough jewels on the table to cover the meal and more for tip. I'm sorry Yijun, I have something that requires my immediate attention. It was nice being able to speak with you, I think I judged you too quickly and I'm sorry for that. I hope to meet you again sometime, you can find me at Paradise Dawn's guildhall where I'm a member. Enjoy the rest of the food. Scooping the two children up in her arms, she gave Yijun a nod before walking off toward her destination.

He hears her reply about having no want for a partner of the male side of things and he writes it down as he would need to remember that for the future. He saw her children come up to her and then she say that she has to go. "Be safe and vigilant." Yijun stood up and he started walking as he still had to return the crystal fox that the child had stolen and that was something that he couldn't just not do. So he headed back down the maze of alleyways and to the shop saying that he had only found this and he was not sure who had it but it had been hidden on the side that had cloaked it in shadows so that it was not something that would catch the eye in the light. He admits that he had not caught the little thief as they were pretty nimble and sort of disappeared but had found the treasure that was stolen, the person at the shop just told him to keep it and so Yijun did and went on his way.
