[Yachiru was fairly proud of herself. It only took her about ten minutes and two wrong turns to get to the church - and it wasn't her fault that the streets were so confusing, was it? - and now that she could see it she looked around for her new friend.]

Trebont!

[Spotted him! She hurries up to stand beside him and waves happily.]

I found you!

Sorry this came late! I forgot to join Logs and had to wait for approval. X_X

[poweroflegend]

[Trevor looks down... and down... and down. Yachiru's smaller than she seemed on that little screen.]

Indeed.

[Kneels to her level.]

'Tis very kind of you to come out all this way.

no worries!

[inpiecesofcloud]

[She giggles!]

You really do talk funny!

[She reaches forward and takes his hand, a big smile on her face.]

Are you ready to go, Trebont? What do you want to see first?

<3

[poweroflegend]

[He turns his gaze to the cityscape beyond this church. He squeezes that little hand, a smile coming on.]

The best places to live, maybe? Since I know not if they'll let me stay in that little commune forever.

[inpiecesofcloud]

They let you stay there for a month! Me and Ken-chan still live there, but I think we're going to move soon. I know a nice building where you could live, though! Byakushi lives there and his apartment is really pretty! Even though it is a little small.

[With a grin and a little tug on his hand, she starts walking.]

We get to go through the market on the way! They have lots of good food there! Even though some of the vendor guys don't really like me.

[The mischievous glint in her eyes says it may be well-deserved dislike, and that it doesn't bother her in the least.]

[poweroflegend]

[Lets her lead him along. An ironic yet adorable sight to be sure. Soon his nose is filled with the scents of fresh meat and produce, and his ears with the hustle and bustle of markets everywhere. No going hungry anytime soon.]

[One brow crinkles.] Is it because you're... one of us and not them?

[inpiecesofcloud]

[Her smile doesn't fade as she leads him, weaving through the crowd. She tilts her head to the side and looks up at him, all cheerfulness.]

Mm, that could be part of it I guess. They call me 'scorched' all the time like its a mean word. But they also don't like when I climb on their signs, either!

[Her grin is decidedly impish. She is clearly unbothered by the vendors' opinions of her either way.]

[poweroflegend]

[A friendly tsk. Well no wonder!] You shouldn't do that. Your Ken-chan won't like it if you get hurt.

[Typical adult talk, and he shows that self awareness to her with a wink. They pass one stall with some sort of hideous exotic meat hanging from its hooks. Trevor twists about to get a look without breaking their pace.]

What the deuce was that?!

((OOC: Feel free to claim it was any local delicacy. XD))

[inpiecesofcloud]

[She giggles.]

You're right about that! Ken-chan would be really mad if I got hurt! And when he's mad people get really scared! That's cuz he's really strong! He's the strongest shinigami there is!

[She laughs at his wink. She likes Trebont already! And as they pass, she barely spares a glance at the odd looking meat, as by now it is a fairly familiar sight to her.]

I think those things live in the mist. The natives like to eat them! They look really icky but they don't taste too bad!

[poweroflegend]

[Trevor liked to think he'd lived off worse things in his years as an outcast. Now just looking at that, he wasn't so sure. But if she said it wasn't too bad, well...]

[They reach the tail end of the marketplace.] Ivory is money here, hm? Do you and Ken-chan live well with enough of it, Yachiru?

[inpiecesofcloud]

[She skips ahead, still holding onto his hand as they leave the market and head toward the apartment building where Byakuya lives.]

Yup! That's the money! Me and Ken-chan do just fine! We even have enough for candy and stuff! We work for the patrol and Scilly pays pretty well!

[poweroflegend]

Ah, the patrol. I told Scilly--- Priscilla I would like to join it myself. Mayhap I will see you there in time.

[Gazes up at the apartment building, sizing it up. This looked better than decent. As they move toward it, something Yachiru said makes him regard the little fingers around his own.]

You're a trained fighter. [Not a question.]

[inpiecesofcloud]

Yay! Trebont's joining the patrol!

[At his statement, smiles and raises her left hand (the hand not still clasping his) and shows the sword that hangs from a string on her wrist. It's small and pink, but it is undeniably a real weapon and not a toy.]

Yup! And I'm really strong, too!

[With that same hand, she points up at the building.]

Byakushi lives here! It's really nice on the inside, too!

[poweroflegend]

[He wonders if she's drawn blood for that knowledge and skill. But whether she had to or not, her innocence and cheerfulness are unmarred and for that he's glad.]

[Trevor can see just inside the door from where they're standing. She's right; it does look cozy.]

Might we take a look? Today could be my lucky day.

[His eyes shine warmly. Because if it really is, then he'll owe it to her.]

[inpiecesofcloud]

Sure, Trebont!

[She bounces forward to pull open the door for them to enter the neat entry hall of the building, tugging him along behind.]

It's pretty, right? But I don't usually come in this way~

[Another impish grin. Yachiru has her own way of getting around the city.]

I CAN USE SPELLCHECK I SWEAR

[poweroflegend]

[He finds himself thinking of windows, rooftops, and alleys. That may not be really her method, but his grin still mirrors her own. Kids just have ways of moving about.]

[This place was pretty well maintained and shockingly clean for someone used to hard living. He picks up Yachiru briefly to step over some rogues slumbering right out in the hall. Looks like they'd enjoyed the local brew a tad much.]

You're right; a man could live here decently. I see they've left the doors open for empty rooms.

[He peers into each one as Yachiru leads him past them. One room in particular catches his eye. It's a little spartan affair that's half storage space and half living quarters. Already he can see those shelves populated with a hunter's odds and ends. Trevor lays his free hand on the doorframe, looking pleased.]

I rather this like one. What do you think?
