                                              She was dying while we were living.                                              She was gone while we were smiling.                                                       But we miss her everyday.

           "Because they're filthy." Even though he said it was a smile there was pure bitterness behind his words. "Angels are no better than some demon, didn't you know? Your life is nothing to them." Arlo chuckled softly with a shrug of his shoulders. "They would kill us all if that's what they saw fit but I don't expect you to understand."

❀    "Aren’t angels here to protect us from evil? Why do you hunt them?" She hadn’t known a reason for them to be hunted.. Angels were like protectors sent from God.. Why did he hunt them? Was it because he was evil, or, had she not known the real story. This was rather interesting and his story seemed very compelling, she lived a normal life, so things like there were rather fascinating to her.

           "I guess I really shouldn't be all that surprised." She looked pretty normal and the interest she was showing was merely a cat's curiosity. Artemis was screaming in Arlo's head but he answered anyway. "Angels." But that's all he was going to say about the subject. He hunted angels to live but he didn't expect her to understand. "You know God's little self righteous assholes?"

❀   "No, I haven’t seen aything like Artemis" Anais confessed, using the arms name, since he had said in various occasions. Retracting her own hand back she glanced up to the male. "You said you hunted with it.. I doubt you hunt animals.. So what exactly do you hunt?" She asked as she walked along with him. At least for now, it was just the two of them, and she would try to get to know this before they were in the Ramen shop, where he would have an excuse as to not answer her. Smiling, she held onto his arm, and glanced forward.

            "At first it did because Artemis and I were trying to connect." Arlo answers while thinking back on the memory. It was an old one. "But as soon as we accepted each other -- the pain ceased to exist." Artemis was a little wary due to the girl's curiosity but Arlo saw nothing wrong with it. "I hunt with it, of course." It slipped out of his mouth in a matter-of-fact tone, like she was just supposed to know.  "Have you never seen something like Artemis?" The red skin was completely smooth and warm to the touch, it felt alive.

❀    The female glanced to his arm for a moment. “Does it hurt?” She had ignored his smartass comment, if he had swallowed his pride for food, it meant he had to be pretty hungry. She simply walked along with him and simply placed her hands behind her back. She was curious as to how it worked.. “What do you with it?” She questioned and simply placed her fingertips on it, just to graze it slightly and see how it felt. She had never seen anything like that, so it was only natural for her to ask so many questions.

            Arlo's discomfort turned into a pout as the female's words hit his ears. "Yeah 'cause I don't wanna do this. Do you want a sample or not?" He would tell her that they were good but if he didn't even want to smile then why would he want to kiss ass? Arlo held out the tray for her while keeping his childish pout. "Hm? I hear they're..pretty good." Can you tell he's trying to swallow his pride?

Malak was walking around the market when she spotted a bakery. It appear to be giving out free samples. She decided to try one. The guy disturbed smile was enough to amuse her.

” your smile looks so uncomfortable.” The forced smile was irking her. ”try keeping straight face.  The smiling thing isn’t working for you.” His good looks should be enough to attract few customer.

            Arlo did not want to be doing this. No, this was equal to bullshit. Here he stood out in front of a well known bakery with a sample platter. He had to be approachable and full of smiles but honestly, he'd rather be dead. Why would they put him out front, anyway? With his appearance and all. He supposed because his face was good looking. "Hi, would you like to try Booni's new holiday treats?" Cue the best forced smile he could manage.

            "Burned?" Arlo asked, seeming slightly surprised at her question. Usually, no one had the courage to even mention his arm. The smooth red skin traveled up to his shoulder and stopped, ending with dark black rings. "No, it's not a burn injury. Artemis is a piece of me." He says with a nod. "You know, like a parasite." However, before he could finish up he was being tugged along like some child. "Me? Faint? Ha!" Arlo, stop acting like you're too tough to faint.

❀    Anais simply glanced at the males hand, that was strange. It made her blink before she took ahold of his hand and shook it lightly. “Did this hand get burned?” She had to ask, it seemed like a burn injury.. Yet she wasn’t sure, because the form was a lot different from what a deformation would seem. The female began tugging on his hand and simply giggled quietly. “Ah, come on. Let’s eat.. Before you faint” She teased.

            Why is it that every time that he wanted something he didn't have the cash? Was it really that hard to keep a steady flow of money? Yes. The cursed literally placed his face against the bakery's glass all while whining. "I just wanted some cheesecake." Even though it upset his stomach. "Just one little slice of cheesecake."

            Arlo's taking shelter in an alleyway again because he's just too broke to afford a hotel room. "Artemis, this sucks, man." He mumbles down to his red-skinned arm only to get scolded for not taking up more jobs around the city. "Okay, mom." He's totally not talking to himself.

[oxbi]

            Did she just say ramen? "I would love some ramen, honestly." It was by far Arlo's favorite human food because it was easy on his stomach and also very tasty.  "Soup is boring." The youngold man brushes himself off -- just some minor dirt. Artemis made Arlo keep himself clean which made it even harder for people to believe he survived off hotels. "I'm Arlo. it's nice to meet you." He held out his red skinned hand for a shake.

❀    "Well.. There’s a small ramen shop by the corner, if you want to go there?" She asked with a smile and tilted her head to the side. This was rather nice she would guess although it had a pretty bad start, so what she was going to do the best to behave herself. "Unless you rather soup, then we can head towards a small restaurant I often go when I don’t feel like cooking" She suggested and stood besides the male.  "I’m Anais, by the way."

[oxbi]

            Arlo felt like he was being laughed at which caused a small and childish pout to lace his handsome face. Stupid girls, always making a fuss over everything and anything. This is why he liked being under a man rather than on top of a woman. He just wanted something to eat not a life lesson. "Something light -- like noodles." He mutters with one puffy cheek. "My stomach is sensitive." It liked angel meat more than it did human food.

❀    Anais giggled quietly, he had given up for food, this had ease everything up. The female simply nodded her head. Well a deal was a deal. So now she owed the male food, and she figured she could go for some herself. “Alright, where should we go to eat?” She asked and simply adjusted her purse and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. Although Anais was a little rough around the edges, the female could have a soft side.. And help others she deemed worth helping. 

[oxbi]

            This woman was irking his ever lasting nerve and trust me, he doesn't have many. "You should just get off the streets." He mumbled in her direction. Being hungry made him even more of an asshole and if he wasn't so angry, he would just eat her. Buuuut, he was sure that her sour attitude made everything that he wanted..sour as well. "You're like one of those candies that look good but as soon as you put it into your mouth, it betrays you because it's so fucking sour."

— { ✾ } "Indeed. I asked if I could help you but I didn’t make any promises. Not my fault if you can’t deal with a no. Go ahead and whine. Not my problem.” Cue a shrug from her petite shoulders and another sigh left her lips as well. “Besides, this is not something you casually ask from a stranger so it’s definitely a no from me.”

[oxbi]

            Which would win? His stomach or his pride? "Soo.." He began after a moment of silence. "I'm sorry for being so rude towards you when you're just trying to help me." Ah, and it was his stomach that won. Arlo was equal to a dog when it came to this kind of thing. This persona she was seeing now wasn't his true face but surely after some time with him, she would see his true one. "Food now, right?" Something light so he doesn't throw it back up.

❀    Anais glanced at the hand that touched her, and then back at the male.. What nerves he had. “Cute.. to actually assume I would buy you something to eat” She spoke and simply sighed to herself. He was probably homeless with pride.. “Take back calling me noisy and i’ll consider it..” She proposed and rose a brow. Surely if he was hungry enough he would abide to her, if not, he would just have to find someone else to whom he could mooch off from. When Anais was upset.. She was upset and surely he was going to figure that out himself soon enough.

            What a bitch. "You just asked me if you could help me somehow and I answered. If you aren't going to help then you should really keep your mouth shut." He mumbled while crossing his arms over his chest. "Wow, you're a asshole." Arlo, honey, just drop it.

— { ✾ } Really? Is that guy for real? This has to be a joke. “Let me think…,” her chin would rest on her palm, eyelids fluttered upon azure hues for a brief moment before she exhaled slowly. “Yeah, no. Definitely no.”
