Argh, okay. Hamel could do this. It was easy. He was even right at Flute's hotel door. It wasn't a big deal, this walk. Wasn't even the D word, no. Of course not. That was kinda foolish to think right now, wasn't it? They hadn't even said those three words to each other, so it wasn't dating, right? Yeah, not dating.

Hamel continued to just fidget in front of Flute's door. Every so often, his arm would rise up and ready to knock, only to pull back and make a short pace before standing in front of the door again.

Maybe he should kick the door down and come in dramatically? That's pretty normal for him, yeah. Well, no. Flute would obviously be mad at that and that wouldn't do. Argh, these clothes were killing him. A long black coat, black dress shirt and white slacks, while were his favorite colors, were much too prissy and made it look too much like it was date. Maybe he should go back up and change. No, there wasn't much time for that.

Should he just walk in or knock or-

"AH, Fuck it!" He groaned and knocked on the door rather hard

"There's rabies too. I wonder if a wolfman would need shots for that." He continued to mutter, completely out of touch to hear Flute.

"That probably is something him and his wife have to deal with on a frequent basis."

"Um..." Flute hesitated. She did know about Wolf's little "problem" but she wasn't about to tell Hamel about it. "Yeah. I bet... I bet they do have to deal with that sometimes."

What was with him? He was so easily distracted!

"...anyway," he relaxed, but still continues to look places other than Flute's direction. "You're safe at least ( ... )

Flute had been a little weirded out again, but the abrupt change of topic caught her attention. "Oh? You didn't?" she replied. Well, the chance didn't really come up before, she supposed. "Yes, my grandpa had a lot of different books at my house at Staccato, and I used to go to the little library there a lot too. It's just something to do to pass the time, y-you know?"

She smiled at Hamel again. "It's kind of funny, we've been traveling for so long and we still don't know little things like that! I know you like to cook, though. I wish there were some more ingredients here so you could make something good... m-maybe not with giant earthworms, though," she teased."

"Ah, I suppose its slightly amusing." Hamel admitted to the lack of knowledge they had about each other. He never really saw the need to until now. Flute was supposed to be sold a long time ago, after all.

"Tch." He lifted his nose into the air as he felt rather offended by her sudden teasing of his trademark dish. "I don't seem to recall you disagreeing with having such a delicacy.

"I disagreed with it when you cooked it wrong and it almost killed me," Flute protested, a mock frown on her face. It quickly melted into a meek smile.

She scratched the back of her head and looked at the streets around them for a moment. She didn't feel uneasy with Hamel here. He could certainly protect her from crabs. She assumed.

"Have you seen the monsters on the streets yet?" she asked.

"Obviously you ate it wrong, woman." Hamel annoyingly answered back, but it quickly melted into a a nervous frown. Ah, what to say now. How could just simply walking be so complicated.

"Monsters?" Hamel repeated, looking more than a little confused. "I thought you said there we no Mazoku here?"

"They aren't mazoku. They're different... they're just little crab-shaped things, sort of," Flute explained. "They're not hard to kill. But they bite and they're poisonous, and the wounds they give you never heal unless you use magic on them. So you have to be really careful when you're walking around-- and if you ever get bit or hear about someone getting bit, let me know, okay?"

She hadn't meant to get quite so preachy. But just the thought of Hamel in such pain as the crab bites brought... Flute shuddered.

"Just be careful, okay?"

Ah, right. Those little monsters. He had yet to face any, but from what he heard, they weren't that big of a concern. The fact that they were poisonous though was certainly an important thing to hear. He watched Flute carefully as she spoke.

When they reached a street corner, Hamel came to a stop and heard Flute's last sentence. Hamel gave out a long sigh and waved his hand at Flute in dismissal. Seriously, girls were all too predictable, especially flute. "Like I would really want someone to panic and cry for me. No thanks."

Flute rolled her eyes. She was more than used to Hamel dismissing her like that. "Well, whether or not you want them to, people are going to care, Hamel. That's just how it works! Nobody wants you to get hurt being reckless."

"I've yet to be hurt when I'm reckless." Hamel continued to wave off, his eyes closed as he crossed the street. "What is it with you women and the same concerns every time monsters are about. The same sappy lines. 'Oh, we're so worried you'll get a scratch. Oh, you might get cancer without treating that wound! We all care for you, mr. Hero."

Unfortunately, his recklessness with about to get back at him with every step.

Men were all alike that way! How dare somebody show concern for his well-being? Oh, the horror, the horror! "You get hurt all the time! Would you rather nobody care what happens to you?" Flute said irritably. "Honestly, Hamel, you act like people caring about you is such an inconvenience."

"Yeah yeah Yeah!" Hamel shook his head and groaned, his eyes still not on the road as he crossed. "I hear it from you all the time. I always heal from the wounds I get and I don't need you crying over about it. Besides, with these crabs being a piece of cake, what more could this city have to endange-"

Whoops! Didn't see that hole in the street! Hamel's eyes grew wide for a moment as he fell in which only moments later a large Splosh! could be heard at the bottom of it.

Why would there be an open manhole to the sewer is anybody's guess.
