âCome now, if I must prove myself, then so be it⦠just make sure that you donât bore me while we do this.â Adio had a short temper,to anyone who could find the right buttons to push anyways,Adio's teeth gritted lightly but he sighed.
"I don't intend to,just stay out of sight the best you can since you seem so ..'eager.' when we get this done I'll get you the apples from the vendor alright?..Ill have one with you then...just have to find the right person..''
He glanced out toward the path back to the town,there was plenty of 'problems' there in that town,hateful people but at the same time a small..a very small percent of nice folk..Adio ran a hand through his hair before gesturing to Corvax.
"Lets get this started then,hope you have patience..''
He muttered before a rush of sand and dust shot up from where he was,he appearing above standing on a large tree branch looking down at Corvax before he took down the path toward the village his loosely fit shirt fluttering against his body,his wings un-seeable for now as in a while they'd reach
The entrance of the village..Adio watching as people walked through the gates or near the villages that may or may have not been in walking distance of the area Adio and Corvax possibly seemed harmless,just people resting on way to a diffrent location in or around the region of the village itself.
Oh things had changed for what seemed the best,he'd find someone he'd consider a lost cause,a problem to the world and maybe then Corvax would give him the real responsibility of taking care of the abominations.
he looked utterly harmless as said,with or without the factor of him just sitting there,observing the people that went by or even the children that tagged along by their sides,it was more then that..observing how they reacted to others,to their surroundings,to the shopkeepers .One of the people venturing along the path to the castle caught his intrest,a young woman who seemed to litarlly drag her child along behind her as the little boy screamed about how the guards of the village scared him and how he was tired and wanted to go home,the mother payed no attention often cursing about why she was so stupid to have a child that was such an abomination to the ears and eyes..Adio frowned looking back,wondering if Corvax had kept pace and would be at least near the area.
"...Think I found someone..Just keep out of sight if you follow,.let me see what I can do.''
He said and lept down from where he perched as he walked along the path toward the woman he'd sideline then going off toward a couple who looked rather disgusted by the woman..He'd keep off to the side just standing there looking around keeping his face from the woman's or her husband's view,as if he was merely a tourist taking in the sights.
"She seems rather irritable don't you think?''
"She never seems to be happy when her boy is around,I don't see why not the child seems so kind and sweet to the other children when I've seen them playing.''"Awkward how personalities differ from parent to child...Have a good day...I need to get going''
before the woman had time to respond Adio had disapeared from her and her husband's side,venturing to a near-by tavern he'd seen the woman walk into he'd take a seat at the bar,good enough away from the woman and the time span he had taken from getting to the couple outside to coming here made him look just like an everyday villager or traveler with only themselves in mind...The little boy seemed to be still screaming and crying and still,the child was ignored by the mother who seemed to have booze more then her responsibility in mind at the moment.
"Be quiet Yachimaru!?''"I wanu go home,im tired mommy,you been here all day!""Well,if annoying little children would stop screaming and crying mommy wouldn't have to drink so much to drone out their annoying little voice and damn the day she had them would she?!"[glow=red:44689d8605]
''You need to quiet yourself and your child down Maui.''[/glow:44689d8605]
Adio peered over his shoulder as the bartender addressed the woman by her name who had become quite furious with even the bartender rather quickly and proceeded to curse him out in a drunken stupor her dull blond hair disheveled against her Grey eyes and rather sun-wrinkled and booze thinned skin.
"Shut up,dont tell me what to *hicup* do you bar-wench!,do your job and bring me more wine,and give the little monster some water!?"Adio was astounded at this woman's behavior and sorry the child had to be put through such torment,oh if he could..
No..he wouldn't not here..He'd handle this a diffrent way.
It had been nearly an hour and a half later before the woman and the boy left,Adio waited for a while,eyes tracing the way they went as they got out of the door,the mother stumbling and stammering about old memories sat down on a bench to pass out,unsurprisingly not even a hundred feet from the bar..The little boy sat behind the bench playing with a bag of marbles,a rather smug expression on his face as he sniffled at times a few stray tears running down his face..
Adio had left out of the bar now and a small pop would issue before he appeared in front of the child,Adio's face and form had changed his black hair now a off grey his eyes a grey blue,an old hat nearly oversized for Adio's child like appearance sat on his head,and the rest of his clothing was made up of a white scruffy slightly dingy shirt and a pair of old black pants with scraggly pants cuffs and a hole in the knee,something typical for a kid who played alot,his overall age appearance possibly looking around four or five,he had forgotten how it was to be this little,this innocent.
"Hi,wanna play?''Adio admired how kind the child was,even having been put through such terror the drunkard mother had bestowed upon him,Adio smiled childishly looking over his shoulder for a moment trying to see where Corvax had gone off too before looking back to the kid.
"Sure!"
Adio sat down he began playing the game of marbles with the young boy before he stopped looking back at Yachimaru's mother who snorted and snored in her booze induced sleep.
Whats wrung?..oh..my mommy..sowwy if she scares yu..she drinks alot of funny smelling water...it makes her even madder..and she hates me mor.."Why would she hate yu,yur really nice,whuts yur nam?''
Adio's speech befitting for a child of Yachimaru's age.
"Yachimaru,whats yourz?''"Mines Shouten!"
Adio grinned before looking back at the child's mother.
"Yur mommy doesn't look nice at all,dus she ever hit you?''
Adio asked,the little boy nodded pulling his grungy shirt sleeve up to show a big bruise.
"Thats only one.''Yachimaru frowned,Adio felt disgusted at how this woman was treating her only child,he went on playing marbles with the boy before he stopped taking out a small snack-cake the little boy looked hungrily at it,Adio moved to put some in his mouth and stopped looking up at the boy he blinked before offering the snack-cake to the child.who devoured it rather quickly.
"Here you have it,Dusnt she give you food?''
No not alwuys.sometimes but..she forgets...she tuld me she needed the money for the smelly water,I wasn't worth using it up.Now that was an all time low for any woman Adio had ever known or heard of..Adio picked another marble up tossing it into the circle to knock some out of the way before he looked up at the little boy rubbing his own nose as he sneezed.
"Do you evur wish you were with someone else in yur family?''
"My aunt Seki..she knows my mommy is bad..she gives me food and stuff when she visits..even thu..''"whut?''
"mommy takes the stuff away sumtimes,or she throws food out..says its not for naughty little boys..or a..abom....that big word she uses.''Abomination,Adio knew that word all to well,just the mention irritated him,his fingers drawing back he'd accidently hit two marbles to far,it going into the street amungst the people walking,and the horses trotting about..
"opps sowwy,ill go get it wait here!"
"Okie.''Adio got up and rushed to where the marbles had gone to.
"Corvax.''
The little boy had gone back to playing not really paying much attention so Adio was in the clear..Adio scooped the marbles up and walked back near the tavern still keeping out of the boys sight.
"Corvax?!"
Where the hell was he?[/align]
