Theft Twenty-Two

[demonfoxthief]

[Youko's sitting there, thinking, very nonchalantly. Except he's got his shirt off and has bandages wrapped around his chest.]

[have a vaguely flailing Merines] A-are you alright?

[demonfoxthief]

[Looks up.] Hmm? Oh. I'm fine. I got knocked into a wall.

[merines]

But... but you've been hurt. [bites her lip, looking a little closer before suddenly realizing the whole shirtless thing and blushing deeply before looking away] U-um... I... I could heal you, if you'd like.

[demonfoxthief]

[Youko is amused by your shyness.] I heal fairly quickly, but I'd be a fool to turn down help like that.

[merines]

[o////o Shirley would like to point out that she's only fifteen] A-alright. [smiles brightly] Um... I'm not really sure if it works over this, though. [she means the entire second level, of course] Um... w-where can I find you?

[demonfoxthief]

...It's two streets away from the park, in the large building with the red brick. I'll wait downstairs for you.

[merines]

Alright. I'll be there soon, I promise! [and she drops so she can go~]

[demonfoxthief]

[First level time! Youko is waiting in the lounge or lobby or whatever in the building for Shirley.]

[merines]

[runs in, clearly she didn't lie about the whole "be there soon" bit] Ah...! I'm sorry for making you wait. [bows in greeting and apology]

[demonfoxthief]

[Blinks. Isn't used to having people move this fast anymore.] Mm. [Has a shirt on now that he's sort of in public.] It's fine. What's your name, anyway?

[merines]

[reaching into one of her sleeves for a few moments and concentrating before pulling out... a quill? almost triumphantly] Aha!

Oh? Umm... I'm Shirley Fennes. [smiles, holding one hand flat over her heart]

[demonfoxthief]

I am Youko Kurama. [Kind of stares at the quill, and then shrugs.] How do you want to do this?

[merines]

It's a pleasure to meet you. Although, it would have been nicer under more pleasant circumstances.

Hm? Oh, it should be fine just like this. [concentrates and seems to be writing something on the air in front of her; pale blue, symbol-like letters are left behind with each stroke of her pen before she finishes 'writing' and draws that hand upward, sending a Cure eres right for Youko~]

[demonfoxthief]

[Watches her, and lets the spell hit him, though he's still wary. Feels it healing him and raises an eyebrow.] Impressive. Some sort of spiritual energy... though it feels different than that...

[merines]

[smiles again, taking out a crystal from her sleeve] Well, that's close, I guess. It's crystal eres; it pulls energy from essence crystals left behind by monsters.

[demonfoxthief]

...Hmm. That's interesting. Do you mind if I take a closer look at it? [Shiny gems interest Youko yes they do.]
