Dark followed the other silently. He was asulted by the smells and sounds of a busy market. Dark was pleased to note it had the smell of fresh fish but that was about it. He would now make sure to give his delivery man a tip, he never wanted to experience this again.

(delivery lady XD )
he could see nothing wrong but the other was visibly on edge, it made him more and more nervous and wound that finally he could not take it. he pulled the boy tight and wrapped his arms around him fully, he whispered softly into his lord's ear "we can leave, i don't want you afraid"

(Whose name I can't remember XD I have it written down somewhere, can't find it though)

Dark started when the other wrapped his arms around him. "No, it is okay." He told Alexander quitly. "I'm just not used to people." Even the five other people in the store made him uncomfortable. Their stares where not helpong and only served to remind Dark of why he did not go out.

(the lady who hit on alexander XD )

he held the boy closer and stared aggressively out at every eye that caught his. the people scattered and he looked back down at his lord "they are gone"

(And was rejected. :D )

Dark had noticed them scatter when ALexander had looked at them and hoped that the store management would not throw them out for getting rid of costomers. "Thanks." Dark was not sure if he should truely be thankful for causing others to leave, but it did make him personally more comfortable.

he relaxed his hold "you are welcome"

Dark slipped mostly out of Alexander's hold but still held his hand. "What were we here for again?" He asked sheepishly.

he shook his head and squeezed the hand reassuringly "i am not sure"

Dark nodded then stole a glance around the store. His eyes landed on the book section and that jogged him memory. "I remember now." He said to Alexander. "I was going to show you around and have you look at the books."

he perked up. "do they taste good? the other books did not"

Dark was slightly wierded out by the way he said that but took it in a stride. "I do not know, I have never tried them."

he nodded, that was reasonable

"You could read the summary to see if you might like them." Dark suggested taking a guess that the summary would be similar to sample and would tell Alexander whether or not he would enjoy 'eating' the book.
