-an' stay there, all right? Keep readin'. Or whatever. [. . .] S'dumb to just follow me around. Ye got no clue. Could prolly sell you or dump you somewhere before ye blink. Jus' like your old parents did, I bet. En't like we got money for anythin' else. Then what'll ye do, huh?

[ Quiet, watching Xion eradicate tsun just by existing mess with the

[Do you like being held upside-down by one leg, Allen? Because this is the position you will find yourself in about two seconds after an attempted pick-pocketing.]

[action] - 1/2

[outwalks]

[ What is even happening oh wait- ]

W-what the hell, I din't even do it! Fish-fucker! Lemme down!

[action]

[poppetry]

Aaaaa!

[ Xion is IMMEDIATELY upset, rushing over to tug at Itachi's clothing and just make loud, high-pitched, upset noises at him. let her friend go! ]

[action]

[yourhatred]

[Itachi gives the girl an impassive look, ignoring her protests and tugging, before returning his attention to the boy.]

You're rather clumsy. That's a good way to get yourself killed.

[action]

[outwalks]

Fuck you backwards on a slag heap! I din't take nothin'!

[ Well, since he isn't making any motions to bat her away, Xion will continue making noise. Allen, meanwhile, is wriggling vigourously. Also attempting to punch at Itachi's side, which is quite hard and probably as effective as waving a feather at a whale. ]

[action]

[yourhatred]

[Such a mouth you have. :|

Itachi gives the boy a light shake.] Of course you didn't. But if I was someone else...

[He releases Allen suddenly, letting him fall to the ground.] It's unnecessary anyway. Nothing in any of the stores here costs anything.

[action]

[outwalks]

Ugh! Jerk.

[ But he picks himself up surprisingly well, shaking the dizziness off and scrambling to his feet to check on Xion and make sure she'll calm down. Though he's still talking to Itachi. ]

Not for you, maybe. Bet they'd have lots to say if I tried to take somethin'.

[action]

[yourhatred]

Oh? [The poor kid has to be new.]

And why would that be?

[action] - 1/2

[outwalks]

En't got credit, do I.

[action]

[poppetry]

[ yeah by the way, the instant Itachi released Allen and he got to his feet, Xion clung to him hard, hugging one of his arms tightly and squeezing her eyes shut.

And when Itachi speaks again, she squeaks and darts behind Allen, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist and refusing to look up. Itachi terrifies her. ]

[action]

[yourhatred]

[AS HE SHOULD. Itachi raises an eyebrow.] I believe I said that items didn't cost anything. That includes credit.

If you walk in and take whatever you want, no one will stop you.

[action]

[outwalks]

[ What does he even do in this situation. His wings ruffle briefly, then one brushes over Xion's head. ]

Wasn't born yesterday. En't no place that don't want money.

[action]

[yourhatred]

This isn't just any place. But if that's want you want to believe... [He shrugs and begins to walk away from them. He doesn't like seeing kids left to fend for themselves, but he's played this role too long. He's not a caretaker.]

If you're hungry, I'd try the man at Seventh Heaven.

[action]

[outwalks]

[ Itachi is tall and obviously threatening, there's no reason to keep him around. But Allen calls after him anyway, a little jeering. ]

S'that what this place's s'posed to be? Heaven?

[action]

[yourhatred]

[Itachi doesn't turn.] No. It's far from that.

[That he was there at all was proof enough.]

[action]

[outwalks]

Che.

[ Back Allen turns-to the crowd, then looks at the shops. The debate as to whether to trust the Dark and Creepy Headband Guy's word rages on. ]
