stuck in the sunshine [open]
   Tall or short, Kyouko didnât discriminate when it came to picking a fight with a stranger. Normally she wouldnât go around picking fights. If they were out of the way, who cares. But when they interrupted something important (such as getting ready to snack on something, or otherwise), thatâs when the gloves came off.Â
   ââŠ.Tch.â
   Kyoukoâs hands were shoved from the boyâs collar. Now that she was getting a good look at his clothes, they did seem pretty lavish. Definitely one of the weirdest looking wardrobes the girl had personally seen. âWhatever. Wouldnât want you crying a river over your crinkled clothing, anyway.â
   Yes, it was partially her fault, sheâd admit that. However⊠âIt ainât about the stuff that I have left, moron." She turned away from the stranger and bent down to pick up the fallen ice cream bar, which had half melted already. Using her finger to clear away most of the parts that had come in contact with the ground, she angrily shoved the remains of the treat into her mouth. "Itâs about not wasting what you have.â
   âBesides, who the hell said I was here to be cute?â
Sighing as he was now free from the "crazy" girl's grip, he brushed off his robes and mulled them over. He didn't care if it sounded pompous or not, he quite liked these robes, they had served him well over the years-- and thanks to his mother, remained fresh and looking new. Thanking that woman didn't cut it, she just somehow knew how to work clothes.
With the whole ordeal over with, he was quite tempted to just leave her be and be done with it. Sphintus had no interest in a girl who got mad over food that had fallen, who got upset when she lost a treat, but watching her pick it up and eat it, that made him freeze up. Sure, yes, not wasting food was important. Even in a wealthy household, he knew that, food often went scare in Heliohapt due to drought or famine, he just tended to get the lucky end of the stick but eating it off the floor. The inner doctor in him was screaming.
Waving off the "cute" comment, he stared hard at her, watching as she swallowed the dirtied treat and wincing a little. Oh god, here it came, the stern lecture, he knew it would come to this. It rarely came up, nothing in public situations really needed a doctor's opinion, a medic's verdict, but doing something like that-- did she not realize?!
"Kid, do you realize how sick you could get from eating that? Bacteria can attach to food as soon as it hits the floor. That means that even food left on the floor just for an instant can become contaminated if conditions are right. And foods with wet surfaces, like your ice-cream, can pick up bacteria more easily. The longer food is on the floor, the more bacteria it will accumulate and then, guess what, you get sick." Damn, it had been a while since he had lectured someone. "It's even worse, outside is filled with it. You're going to make yourself sick."
