[Zanka walks through the roads of Omashu with certain difficulty as Lovely didn't particularly have much space to go through,and the people shot him and the shirshu hard stares.
He was about to consider heading back when he saw a shop front that mentioned incense. That made him light up and walk faster through the narrow streets to get to the shop.]
Hello??
( @flower-ember )
Hello! Welcome to Fire Flower Incense! If you need anything just ask-....
*Kit freezes up as they hold very still as if that will disguise them.*
[Zanka had barely entered the shop when Lovely made a huff sound and padded past him to sniff Kit.]
Wh- Lovely,no-
[He was in the process of pulling her back and just about to apologize when he actually looked at who the shirshu was sniffing.]
..........................
*Kit stares at Zanka for a few seconds before speaking awkwardly.*
..... I have some tangerine marmalade if you want a sandwich....
[He blinks repeatedly as tears start gathering at the corners of his eyes.]
O-oh! Zanka! Don't cry!
*Kit rambles panicked as they come from behind the counter to check on Zanka. They're starting to tear up as well.*
D-do you need water? Incense? Hug?!
[He lets go of Lovely before lifting his arms as if reaching for Kit.]
*Kit immediately reaches out and pulls Zanka into a hug.*
I'm so sorry Zan....
[The younger boy falls into the hug,a pitiful image of sniffles and unshed tears,it was moving,really.
Or it would be,if Zanka didn't decide to sink his teeth into Kit's shoulder in the next instant.]
*Kit yelps at their biten and they pull back again.*
Why!?
[Zanka frowns deeply as soon at Kit pulls back.]
Because y'left!
*Kit just squishes Zanka's face as tears are falling.*
Yer a brat! Fuck I missed you... I'm so sorry. I couldn't stay.
*They sniffle as they hug Zanka tightly again not caring if they get bitten again.*
Don't call me a brat y'wimp!
Get off'a me imma tell Goka where y'are!!
Nooo! He'll be upset with me too!
*Kit does let go of Zanka and they wipe their eyes.*
When did you get taller than me?!
He has every right ta be dontcha think?!
[He huffs and crosses his arms.]
Idunno,somewhere in the seven years y'were gone.
That's.... a fair dig.
*Kit looks at Zanka with a faint smile as they are happy to see him.*
.... You wanna introduce me to your friend?
*They ask as they look to the shirshu.*
[Lovely is still looking at both of them in a menacing silence.]
Ah,this is Lovely. I got 'er from Ma's family.
*Kit smiles softly.*
She's beautiful. I imagine the incense shop is probably a bit overwhelming for her huh?
The whole city honestly. 'M just walkin' around waitin' fo' uncle.
Sir Tatsuo is also around? Huh. I figured you'd be traveling with Goka. Or lady Tallulah. I remember she talked a lot about traveling.
Well the thing is uh. Things. Happend back home,so I haven't been back for quite some time.
*Kit pauses before going to close the shop down. They pull out some seats and a small table and food. Biscuits and tangerine marmalade.*
Sit. Eat something tasty. And if you're comfortable. Tell me whats up.
I gotta go meet uncle...and Lovely isn't comfortable here..
*Kit looks a bit disappointed but nods.*
That's fair. I'm gonna close up for a little bit. I'm glad I got to see you.
Uh no. Yer comin with me.
Hmmmm. No.... I like my shop. Thanks for the offer tho-
Nuh uh.
