Obi stood at the entrance of the mall staring at the size of it. Sure it wasn't as big as the abbey, but damn it was big!
Nestled in his brown hood was a portly Lime green rat with a bit off ear and a snaggletooth. This was Netsuke, Obi's zipper pet. The rat scurried out of his makeshift resting place and onto his master's shoulder with his tail wrapped around a piece of paper. Squeeking, it handes it over to Obi and nudged his neck as if it was reminding the angel of something.
"I know, I know, Netty," he said, taking the paper from the zipper pet's tail and reading it again. It was another letter from Sleeves. Due to the fact that neither siblings had no cellphone, they relied and Netsuke as a courier of sorts, delivering letters back and forth until the older sibling made it to the abbey.
"Hey lil' bro! Hopefully the abbey is as nice as it is here. I still have to get some stuff situated before I head off to join you and your buddies. You have been talking to people, right? I really hope so, bro. Daten's a new beginning for both of us, so we could at least use some friends, alright? If Mom and Dad survived Daten, we can to. Your big sister, Sleeves."
"P.S. Heard Daten has a mall or something there. You should check it out, maybe make some friends?"
"P.P.S. FRIENDS. That's the keyword, Obi. Friends."
Smiling a bit at the letter, Obi folded it up and slipped it into his pocket, petting the zipper pet softly with a finger as it went back to rest in the hood. "Ah sis," he said to himself, "I wish you were here to help." Taking a sigh and looking around once more, he ventured into the mall, immediately greeted with the sudden cooling sensation of air conditioning and a flurry of aroma's, switching from food to perfume.
"Woah!" The angel exclaimed at the sight of the dozens of food and shops that were disperesed throughout the mall. Spotting a nearbt y layout, he walked towards it, examining it for a bit along with Netsuke, the rat having been woken up by thw aroma's as well as it stared at the billboard along with Obi.

Netsuke scampered to Obi's ear and nibbled on it a bit, getting a giggle out of the angel as the rat pointed it's long finger towards Doll's flower shop.
"Flowers? But you just ate like a freaking buttload of sunflower seeds before we left!" The zipper pet's stomach grumbled in response, Netsuke' s ears lowering as it squeaked sadly. C'mon, Obi. Don't forbid Netsuke the right to pig out.
"Well, I suppose I can get you a couple of flowers," he said to the rat, squeaking happily as it scurried to the top of Obi's head, pointing towards the flower shop in a very "Hi-ho, silver!"'-esque manner.
"You're lucky mom didnt call the exterminator when I found you," he said to the rat, walking towards the shop as he looked at the sign, chuckling a bit at it. He should put this place in mind if Sleeves ever has one of her episodes.
Suddenly, cute girl. Yeah, that was a thing "Um, hiya. do you have any pentunia's or zinnia's?" Obi asked as Netsuke scurried down his head and onto the counter, looking at Doll with interest as it climbed the top of the vase to smell the newly wattered flowers.

Anklet strolled towards the large building looking at it in awe, no matter how manny times he visits he'll never get over how gigantic it is. Shaking his head he starts silently repeating something under his breath as if trying not to forget what he was here to buy again. All the while, sitting atop the young mans head is a small bundle of white feathers which is oh so creatively name snowball. The bird squawked suddenly from the near fall, swooping down from his high perch and landing on the ground puffing out his feathers in irritation. Leaving his owner to behind he quickly slipping in the malls entrance behind some good samaritans, Finding the nearest thing he could perch on. he flew up to a little flower shop and landed on its desk cooing at the pretty girl and tall stranger, waiting for his friend to come tumbling in after him. As if on cue a frazzled looking Anklet came running in threw the malls entrance, looking every which way for the little white puffball. After spotting the cooing creature on top of the shops desk harassing people Anklet let out a sigh of relief and began to walk over to them. Stopping just next to the black haired stranger Anklet gave them both a slightly apologetic look "Um... sorry 'bout that, he kind of takes off sometimes." |

Surprised by the sudden appearance of Snowball, Obi stood back a bit while Netsuke plopped down from the vase, taking a petal down with him as he got back on his stubby legs and wolfed down the opetal, squeeking at Snowball in annoyance, which prompted Obi to flick him on the head.
"Be nice! The dove did nothing to you!" He repremanded the zipper rat as it squeeked in sulking defeat, scurrying back towards his master's hood so he could nap away the anger. Lazy thing.
"Oh, no need to apologize, man! Your bird didn't do that much harm." 'Cept cause a zipper pet to become quite pissed, but that was small stuff. "He really is beautiful," Obi said, complementing Snowball as he softly scratched the dove's head.

doll was alittle lost for words and squeek out on surprise and giggled "it's, alright…. pentunia's or zinnia's was it? pne moment please…" she walked around the counter and walked over to a display, most of the flowers looked very complcated to take care of and not your every day flower, she picked up a medium potted plant of zinnia's and scurried over to the counter and placed them down "how are these?".
she turned to anklet and smiled "welcome to Frolicing flowers^^ how may i help you too?"

Looking at the vase of flowers, Netsuke scurried over to his owner's side, circling the vase a bit as he then turned to his owner, giving a thumbs up approval along with a chipper squeak. "The rat approves," He said with a chuckle, fishing out his wallet from his coat pocket. "So, how much is that, miss?" He asked, Netsuke circling the vase as if it was his territory.
Netsuke, you are a fat rat, not a dragon. Stahp.

Anklet blinked a Obi for a moment a bit taken aback by the complement only to let a wide smile spread across his face looking down at the bird. "Thank you. He is isn't he." chuckling lightly at the attention seeking creature he picked up the bird once again and placed him on his shoulder. seeing the girl behind the counter walk away for a moment as she went to get the flowers the other man asked for. Anklet smiled back at her, deciding to wait until the taller man paid before asking her for anything. Instead he watched the large rat circling vase, turning to the man next to him. "Where did you get your zipper pet, if you don't mind me asking?"

doll nodded and rang up the flowers "f-for a medium potted zinnia $10.95 USD's" she placed a bow on one of the flower's stems, doll was trying hard not to be rude about the rat, she thought it was a mouse. "will that be all sir?" ^^

"Oh, Netsuke?" He asked, the rat clinging onto the pot as it's own, staring down Snowball with a tempered squeek. "He kinda bumped into me. My mom was a gardener and she was tending to some of her bamboo plants, when she noticed that there were these bite marks on it. Apparently this lil' guy made a home in one of the stalks and she was none the wiser. I ended up finding him stuck in one of the stalk's opening squeaking for mercy because he ate too damn much. So, I cut the lil' guy free, gave him a bit of some bamboo leaves and he's been at my side ever since!"
By the time Obi finished up his story, Doll had rang up the flowers. Fishing out a twenty out of his wallet, he handed it to the blonde. "And uh, keep the change. You never know if you'll need it or not." Grabbing the pot, Netsuke squeaked in joy, scurrying up the stalk of the zinnia and began nibbling on the petals of the zinnia. "I think the look on his face says it, miss," Obi replied with a chuckle as his zipper pet munched on the flowers like it was no tomorrow. Suddenly remembering Anklet's existence, he stepped to the side of the counter.
"Did you want something, man? Sorry if I was in your way!" Obi, you didn't do anything, ya ditz. Stop apologizing for stuff you don't do.

"Oh that's cool, I found snowball here a little whiles back aswell" scratching the doves neck as it started to coo excitedly at the mention of his name. you lil' self-centered bundle of fluff, godangit. "Netsuke was it? He looks heathy, a bit heavy, but heathy none the less." Seeing snowballs full attention go elsewhere he looked to see where the bird was staring off only to finding that he was looking at Netsuke, more specifically the flowers he was eating. 'Guess I should buy him something too huh?'
anklet was a bit shocked, not expecting the other to step back so suddenly. " oh thanks, it's no problem though" he smiled at Obi, stepping into the now unoccupied space in front of the desk giving the girl behind it his full attention. "Do you sell any sun flowers here by any chance?" Letting his eyes wander around the small shop looking at all the different kinds of beautiful flowers.

Netsuke's attention quickly went from his flowers to Anklet, picking up his words about him being a bit heavy, which caused him to glare a bit at the angel, but suddenly turned into that of sparkling eyes, scurrying over to his shirt and tugging on it, pointing at the sunflowers, hoping that he could get more food.
"Netsuke, no!" Obi scolded the zipper rat, picking him up by the neck which caused him to let out a barrage of squeaks, like a spoiled child who didn't get the lollipop at the candy store.
"You already ate practically half of a garden this morning! You are not, I repeat, NOT, getting more food! You're lucky I even got you the zinnia's in the first place, young man!" Netsuke squeaked back again, managing to free himself from his master's grip and scurrying back to Anklet, tugging on his shirt and giving him the best cute eyed expression he could muster.
"You are such a child," Obi replied to the rat, shaking his head in disbelief.

Anklet laughed a little at the small squabble the other two were having, hearing a similar outburst at work wasn't that uncommon at this point.
He looked over at snowball to see what the he thought of the situation, but as expected he just received the most piercing glare. the bird was practically fuming atop his shoulder, feathers completely flat looking so hard at anklet if he didn't know any better he'd say snowball was going to peck his eyes out. " There's more than enough petals for you, you can spare a flower or two." He started Scratching between the feathers on his chest trying to calm him a bit.
"I mean if that's okay with you, he is your pet after all." Looking back over to Obi a bit uncertain. growing anxious by the angered bird on one side and the begging zipper rat tugging his shirt on the other. Whatever happened one of them was going to be unhappy, he just didn't know how unhappy the rat would get.

Stepping into the mall, Seifuku adjusted her (cosmetic) glasses and checked her shopping list "Flowers for hair decoration, eyedrops, contacts, blah blah blah" she mumbled to herself as she ran down the list.
Her outfit was pretty minimalistic, pale skin (obtained through whatever magic it is that demons use to make themselves appear human), dark-brown hair, a white fuku with light-blue accents instead of the Hell Corp approved beige one, a white rose tucked into her hair, and some blue contacts.
She lifted her eyes from the scrap of paper and tucked it into a utility belt hidden under her skirt, oh look, a flower stand, conveniently the first thing on her list. Seifuku placed herself in line behind the two and their pets, wait, was that a rat, she hated rats, she shot a glare at the offender and mumbled under her breath "Filthy rodent".

The rat turned back to his owner, folding his arms over the other as if to give Obi an intimidating look.
"No. N. O. Final verdict. Be happy with your zinnia's you fat rat, you.
The zipper pet wasn't going to have any of this. No more Mr. Nice Rat. Grabbing the zipper that was attached at the top of his neck, he tugged it, showing Obi he wasn't fooling around.
"You wouldn't..." Obi spoke, his eyes narrowing at the rat, his zipper beginning to slowly go down.
"You're bluffing!" Obi continued, his glare intensifying as Netsuke returned the same glare, hi zipper now halfway down.
Obi, please. Stop him for the greater good.
Letting out an annoyed groan, Obi eventually caved in, not wanting the entire mall to be a ground zero site due to his pet rat's temper-tantrum.
Zipping his zipper back up to his neck, Netsuke let out a happy squeak as he scurried up to Anklet's shoulder, pointing at the sunflower with excitement, his eyes practically sparkling with whatever joy a fat rat could feel.
Obi felt a shiver down his spine for some reason, directing his attention to Seifuku which caused him to shiver even more due to her glare. My, my it was an icy one! "Uh... Hi?" He said with a slight wave, trying to make some form of small talk to break the ice.
