She wasn’t really sure what to make of what he was saying. Well, more like his response to her comments. He was used to it? That was really sad to hear honestly. Didn’t anyone notice him? She honestly just hadn’t been paying attention. But she saw him now. 

"Still though…" Airey sighed. Well, there was no use stressing over something right now. "Madril…?" Airey asked.

She had never heard of it. A city of gears? What kind of place was this anyway? She nodded slowly. “Yeah… I guess you could say that. I more or less go around and study stuff that has to do with magic.” She smiled. “My name’s Airey, by the way. It’s really nice to meet you.”

[shadowlessboy]

Who could notice the boy when his presence was really becoming overshadowed by others. Even that circus guy noticed how badly his own presence was becoming. Not that Ari mind, since he did made a group of friends who actually notice him. Even the Evil King who possessed his own shadow notice him.

It was actually nice that a group of people didn't ignore him like how many had done.

He blinked for a moment at what this girl said. It made him curious of what kind of magic she could do. Maybe she was like Kisling who was also a magic user, but who knows.

"Nice to meet you Airey, I'm Ari."

"Pathetic and lousy? You sound like someone who could incur mental abuse on this poor kid. Why don’t I just rip you out of his shadow instead? I have taken on the form of The Appraiser, after all.."

[shadowlessboy]

"No, he's just really lousy."

"Ha ha ha! Fat chance, brat!"

"Are you two done yet?..."

[tartarusdetective-deactivated20]

"Tch.. Stupid Shadow.. I guess you’re sentient. So you’re the embodiment of Ari’s true self, I take it?"

[shadowlessboy]

"Embodiment of my slave's true self? As if I was! The only thing that's true about him is how pathetic and lousy he is! I am the great Evil King Stan!"

"I don't think he's taking you seriously Stan..."

In fact no one does...

[tartarusdetective-deactivated20]

"…." The raven took out a gun. "..I’ll have to eliminate you. You’re a threat and nothing more. A Shadow is my enemy.."

[shadowlessboy]

"Eliminate me? Ha ha ha ha ha! Try all you might, but I am the shadow of Ari!"

"Can you two knock it off?..."

Stan, you're going to get me almost killed again...

[shadowlessboy]

"Um... hello there?"

[tartarusdetective-deactivated20]

"…The hell did you just call me?! It’s a language. A different language, you stupid-ass shadow! I oughta put you in your fucking place right here and now!" Oooh, boy, he was pissed.

[shadowlessboy]

"Gibberish boy! Aha ha ha ha! You're really going to attack me? Go ahead and do your worse! You can't hit a shadow when you just faze right through it!"

"Not again..."

Last time you did this, you almost had me killed...

[tartarusdetective-deactivated20]

"It means ‘Hi, how are you?’ in French!"

[shadowlessboy]

"French? What is--"

And there goes the boy's shadow popping up from the ground with yellow eyes.

"What kind of who-ha garbage is that? Sounds like a bunch of gibberish to me! Slave who is this gibberish guy?"

Stan...

"R-really? Well, if you’re sure, then that’s great!" He sighed in relief, a sheepish grin rising to his lips. Yogi had never been fond of battles or hurting other people - always the first to panic at the sight of someone injured, particularly if he knew the person (or even worse, if he were the cause of the injury).

"Ah, I still haven’t introduced myself! My name’s Yogi. And you are?"

[shadowlessboy]

What a strange behavior this guy was showing, not that Ari was complaining. It was just the boy had never seen anyone act like this before or to believe they were at fault over a small accident. The overshadowed boy had met so many people and this was probably the first to meet someone like this.

"Nice to meet you, Yogi. I'm Ari."

[tartarusdetective-deactivated20]

"Salut! Comment allez-vous?"

[shadowlessboy]

"Uh... what? I'm sorry, I don't understand..."

The hero hummed an acknowledgement, her hand resting back at her side. “Well, Kisling’s back in Madril doing something at the laboratories because he had some sudden question that needed to be answered.” Rosalyn shrugged, knowing better than to question the professor’s mind. 

"But! We probably should go into the village and make sure the Princess is doing alright in there. No offense, but you have some strange folks living around here, Ari. I can’t help but be a bit worried, though I’m sure she knows how to handle things…" 

[shadowlessboy]

Kisling was back in Madril? That was actually strange to learn the scientist went back to the city of gears to get some question answered. The Evil King himself probably wouldn't mind not having the scientist around, but Ari was going to miss having the strange things that man would spout out around.

"None taken, and let's go find her." He nodded in agreement to find the Princess to ensure her safety. The boy really was wondering about Marlene's well-being and such whenever she was looking around settlements and such. Although he shouldn't worry too much, and like what Rosalyn said, she knows able to handle herself in most situations. Yet he couldn't help but be worried for her.

"Actually…. yeah…" Airey blushed brightly. "I do need help actually…" she rubbed the back of her neck. It wasn’t that she didn’t notice him, it was the fact that she was worried about bothering him. She blinked and sighed. "I’m… really lost and have no idea where I am…" she sighed. "When you said hello, I was just curious if you needed help as well." she giggled nervously. "Sorry, it’s a habit…"

[shadowlessboy]

"No, it's fine... I'm used to it."

The overshadowed boy answered her, he really was used to this sort of thing from everyone that he had ever encountered. No one really caring much for the boy's presence until he either says something or they noticed who he is.

"Where you are? You're in Madril, the city of gears... are you a adventurer?" He questioned.

"Uhh...?" Green eyes stare at the stranger as if wondering if they need something... that is if they noticed this kid.

Tenel? She had never heard of it. A strange name for a strange town. “I guess you could say that,” Anna replied, shrugging her shoulders slightly. “I guess I took a wrong turn in the forest and somehow ended up here…” She looked around, making sure there really wasn’t someone or something that she recognized.

Turning back to the boy, she smiled weakly. “Would you be able to help me at all? I’ve been looking for help for awhile.”

[shadowlessboy]

Took the wrong turn? Ari blinked for a moment, finding it kind of strange how anyone would miss the signs that directed everyone where to go. But it's not like he could blame anyone for being lost, the world was big after all. 

Although hearing her ask if he could help her, he paused for a moment. Waiting for a certain shadow to just pop up and say no to the female's plead of help and to tell them off. Interesting enough, the evil king himself didn't appear and so it seems like Ari could help. "Sure, I can help you."

She really hadn’t been watching where she was going. She was more or less just walking around on one of her random walkabouts. It really wasn’t anything new. Despite the fact she more or less had people after her, she knew they wouldn’t really bother her as long had she had Fai’s protection. Knowing that made her feel a little better traveling, but still. She had learned to be paranoid a bit while on the road.

As it turned out, she was more or less lost. Which wasn’t really anything new for the girl. She seemed to be getting lost all the time. Granted, it keep things interesting. But it was still a bother when she had no idea where she was. She didn’t really bother to pay attention to those around her. It wasn’t that she didn’t care, she knew they were just busy. 

Though,when she heard a person before her speak, she paused and turned around to see the new person. She smiled slightly and nodded. “Oh! Hello.”  she grinned. “Was there something that you needed?”

[shadowlessboy]

"Actually I was going to ask if you needed help..." Yup, the boy was right, this girl didn't even noticed him at all. It really didn't matter up to this point. The feeling of being ignored or not being noticed and to be overshadowed by others, yeah it already grew on Ari.
