                                  Carmen was far beyond low on food at home, low enough that unless she wanted to fast involuntarily, she needed to run to the grocery store today. Picking up a few refrigerator must haves was her next errand for that morning, rather than to risk procrastinating until tonight. Usually she would depend on a food delivery service so she didn't have to do these sorts of things, but she had cancelled the weekly drop offs a few days ago in light of leaving town at the end of the week. It wasn't terribly time consuming to do it herself, though perhaps a tad borish. With a sigh, she picked through her pockets for the list she had written, holding it up in eye's view as the automatic doors welcomed her with a nice breeze from the a/c.

                                  Carefully going through each aisle so she wouldn't miss anything she needed, Carmen checked off each item scrawled on her list after dropping it down into her basket. While she would be heading home with this, she thought to herself that she would rather head back out for lunch. Why? Her mother sent her a new dress she didn't want to leave in the box! She was picking it up from the post office next, so really all her excuses for not wanting to cook tonight were in place. Almost seemed pointless to be here, if not for her brief stop in the freezer aisle where the ice cream was. Late nigh banana splits~ The dancer curled her hair around her finger as she reached the check out line and grabbed her phone to send a text.

                                          $300 with him, $700 in bank | walkways of Cerise then Grocery Shop | Ben | shopping

                                        • xxxUpon hearing Ben's suggestion for what to eat, Endo made a mental checklist for what he should get at the store versus what he already had at home. As always, his friend knew what he wanted, and gave him a straight answer. That was always so refreshing (because not a lot of people made their own decisions nowadays). Thinking back, Endo already had the rice and beef, as well as the eggs and spices. Now it was just the mushrooms, and he maybe would get some more vegetables for the week---ah! There was also the sauces he missed. Looking up and seeing the sky look a little more threatening than when he had arrived before, the two shared a silent nod as they quickened their pace, continuing to chat and reminisce about old times. Though most of his attention had been toward their topic of conversation, he had filled the rest of his mind with the menu and how he could prepare the dish---so Ben's next question caught him off guard as they reached the grocery store downtown. Looking over at Ben as his friend locked his bike into one of the racks, curiosity began to seep into the crevices of Endo's mind. He had always been fond of these tales, as common as they are.
                                          xxx"What's this about a legend?" Endo asked him, making Ben aware that he hadn't known about what he spoke of, "Is it about some kind of creature that dwells within one of the old caves or something?" Endo laughed at the thought. Usually, that was what legends were nowadays, explanations for mysterious happenings around the city. He's had an earful about these so-called "legends" back in Europe, and so did Ben as well. This was probably something exciting if he had been the one to mention it. The two went inside after the bike had been properly locked up as Endo pulled out one of the carts waiting in the line to the side of the door, feeling the cold blast of air from one of the vents.

-- Enter --

Once they both arrived at the grocery store, Benjamin still made sure that his bike was securely locked before they enter through the entrance doors. The place wasn't that crowded thanks to the rain, so they were free to roam around, looking for the ingredients for the dinner that they would be cooking later in Endo's house. He glanced at each and every shelf as the fair-haired man grabbed one of the carts, nodding slowly in approval as they were well-organized. At the question from the dhampir about the legend, his smile was faint. He would be currently down for a little story-telling to pass the time, just a little bit.

"Nothing of that sort, actually. It's about a fruit, grown in the legendary orchard that determines your future with your soulmate." The blond half-demon was right beside him as he went through a few aisles containing the items that were in the mental checklist. He would like to sneak in some candies, but it would be if Endo would also allow that, too. "However, you have to take a ferry to that island, then head to that jungle and endure the hardships together with your partner. Dangerous creatures are lurking in that jungle but they will strike you at the sensing your presence. Not to mention that there is a stairway leading to that orchard but... let's just say that only one couple had survived and successfully endured the tests there and received the reward."

That was all he could recall from the past conversation with Sahar, so the description was still mostly vague. He never knew what the orchard looked like in reality, meaning it would be possible that the actual place would be different from what was spoken through mouths or even depicted through books. It was not like he would plan to trek through the jungle someday, or even the surrounding vicinity within the area. "Anyway, do you have some candies at home? We can buy a few chocolates in here as well as snacks if you don't have any in stock in there."

                                          ENDO V. DAIS

                                          $300 with him, $700 in bank | Grocery Shop | Ben | shopping & conversing

                                        • xxxEndo listened to Ben's tale and couldn't help but laugh a bit. He wasn't the type of person to believe in something like "soulmates", and more so the type of person to believe that it's just trial and error (especially after growing up with his mother). Yes, there could be that one "right" person, but it's not like that person is the only one. There are so many people in this world that there could be the second person you could spend your life with, or maybe the third. It was all about options nowadays. Fearing that this may turn into some kind of argument on love (and knowing that he had the disadvantage due to his lack of experience in it) he didn't make a comment after chuckling, and continued on the shop to assist his friend in choosing the ingredients. Whenever Ben pulled something Endo already had, the silver-haired youth didn't hesitate in telling him that he had been stocked with such. Still, the concept of "soulmates" couldn't help but rack his brain a little as they talked. Who was his mother's soulmate then, if the concept had proven true? Was it his father? Was it his sister's father? Who could be Endo's?
                                          xxx"Oh .... oh yeah! Sure. Go ahead. Some chocolates would be nice, actually." he snapped himself back to reality just as Ben had questioned him, looking around to find himself in the sweets aisle. "Speaking of which, I also have cookies from the bakery." Endo smiled, remembering the taste of home, "We can also have some of those after dinner. Man, I already want to eat these right now." The young man pulled some of the green-tea pocky that had been recently put down on the shelf, beginning the task so that Ben wouldn't hesitate in taking some. His mother's cookies were and always will be: the best cookies that Endo had tasted in his life. There was kind of a bias after all---being the son of the one who made them---but still, they were great cookies; famous in Italy, actually, and the young man gets them weekly in the mail. He was quite fortunate. As they reached the close of their shopping adventure, now getting in line for the cashier, Endo became more and more excited that the two would play together like the old days. Maybe after eating, they would hit the beach and walk along the shore together, or maybe even swim! But, after looking out the exit and seeing the gloomy sky---well, maybe not so much with mother nature in their way.
                                          xxx"Wow, it really looks like it's going to pour at any moment now ..." Endo couldn't help but sigh in disappointment, putting the items down on the conveyor belt for the cashier to scan. I guess the beach would have to wait.

With Endo's consent granted, Ben had decided to sneak in two packs of candies into the cart alongside the ingredients that were necessary for the dinner for tonight. The dhampir then mentioned that he also had cookies in stock, which they could eat after dinner. Just perfect for the reunion between the two. "Chocolate chip's the best, though I won't mind oatmeal raisin. I hope it's either of these two." And with that, they both headed towards the counter so that Endo would pay for the groceries. But also, the sky had grown even darker and the first signs of rain were pouring down from the sky above. They would better get going still.

"Hence, it's crucial to stay updated with the weather news," he advised casually. With the transaction settled, they made their way outside the store, and Ben unlocked his bike, his things placed in the basket. As soon as he started pedaling alongside the other, he had to maneuver the wheels carefully, having to use the brakes casually so that he wouldn't slip. But also, the half-demon felt moisture on his knuckles and he raised his hand slightly. The raindrops that landed into his finger coalesced, forming a small pearl because of his magic.

And when the British half-demon curled his hand into a fist, the pearl disintegrated, the moisture spreading onto his palm. He then kept on pedaling, though the cool air was still seeping into his skin. They would resume the talk later once they ended up at Endo's Etoile house.

While his mistress did feel somewhat better after that ice huntress and the gypsy man decided to give her some space, Corbin wouldn't escape the fact bugging his head, that there was still something wrong with Hikaru. He couldn't help but feel concerned for her even when he was now engrossed in his current errand, restocking the pantry for the house. The list wasn't too long, requiring only meat, fruits, vegetables, candies, snacks, spices and bread. Hikaru was in the mood to make sandwiches for meals and he wouldn't mind that, but he also wished for rice to be included in the menu so that it would be more filling.

He shook his head to push such negative thoughts away; he should stay focused so that he would head home and prepare lunch for two. But since the grocery store was such a crowded place, it would mean that he wasn't the only one going through such errand. Corbin first searched for the fruits and vegetables before he would venture towards the meat section next. His cart was filled with greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, bananas, berries, and oranges, though there was still space left for what he would put in next.

                  Andrea bit her lower lip, deep in thought. In one hand she held a large packet of instant noodles, in the other, a twelve pack of chocolate mousse. To others watching, the woman's indecisiveness would appear comical, but to the woman herself, the question of what to get was of grave importance. She had come to the grocery store knowing the risk. She could never pass by the lolly section without buying a large selection, even if she was low on cash and needed proper food. So today she had left the house with the grim resolution to buy food for herself before even looking at sweets. But it had been a difficult journey thus far, and she had been unable to resist the mousse, it was her weakness. Anything chocolate. Or, to be more accurate, anything sweet. Now she had to make a decision. She needed to choose between her need for instant noodles, which would be her dinner for the next week, and her desire for chocolate mousse. In the end, she decided to get both, even though that meant compromising and she liked to avoid that while shopping where possible, because otherwise she'd buy everything in sight. With a small sigh she placed both items into a basket that was filled with much of the some thing; sweets and junk food. She really needed to find the time to learn how to cook at some stage. Or to find someone who would cook for her, for free. Unfortunately paying for hired help was out of the question. She no longer spoke to her parents so she could no longer live off their money. Not that she needed to, though it would help take the edge off things.

                  The psychologist wandered into the meat section, planning to walk straight through it and buy an apple or something. As they say, an apple a day keeps the doctor away. But she was a doctor, though she was of a different sort, so where did that leave her? The redhead was still thinking along these lines when she spotted a man with black hair and a basket full of vegetables and, well, healthy stuff. He looked smart. Perhaps he could fix her little dilemma. Though she had no idea why she needed to fix anything. It wasn't like she needed to know the answer. But she was well aware that her work allowed little time for socialising, so perhaps her problem with apples and her need to solve it was just an unconscious excuse to make a new acquaintance. Whatever the case, she was going to approach him. Right... Now. She picked up some meat and pretended to study it. Okay, okay. Right... Now! She walked right past him to randomly look at a shelf. Come on! This is hopeless. Her hazel eyes followed the male's movements and her inner doctor picked up on his unconscious signs of anxiety or distress. Perfect. That was a much better excuse than apples. She'd offer to help him! Encouraged by her observations, Andrea approached the male and held out a business card that was covered in cutesy ice creams. She really had to make some business cards specially for adults instead of solely giving out these childish things.

                  "Excuse me, I'm Doctor Andrea Dae. I don't mean to bother you, but I'd noticed that you seem to be a little bothered by something. Is it anything I can help with? "

                  There, she'd done it. Now hopefully he wouldn't run away or ignore her or do something equally embarrassing.

Corbin would definitely go for the meat section next considering that the poultry, pork and beef were the next big thing essential to their meals. It was a shame that fish was starting to get out of stuck with most folks willing to grill them for nights out on the beach, or because Beluga and The Shark's Head were the two restaurants relying on such underwater bounty for their signature dishes. It was when a female voice called out to him that he c-cked his head to the side, inspecting her features thoroughly. It looked like he had to answer out her question considering that she was, in fact, a doctor.

"Feeling concerned for a friend who was deeply troubled by her personal issues. She may be the one needing your help more than I do," his answer was short and simple. hoping to get his point across. After all, Hikaru needed all the help that she could get to manage her feelings better.

                  Andrea felt a small sense of satisfaction when she was answered and not deserted by the stranger. It was always a good thing, avoiding embarrassment. It hadn't even occurred to her that her sudden bout of curiosity could have quite possibly irritated the male, or at the very least, distracted him from his shopping. She herself seemed to have forgotten about her own shopping entirely. The redhead smiled encouragingly, listening as the raven got his point across. So a close friend of his was having personal issues? They must be close if he is worrying about her so. She reflected on his words for a few moments, wondering what next to say. Perhaps they could pay this friend a visit, rather than her just simply offering her services? That sounded like a good idea. She only hoped that she wouldn't be bothering both this man and his friend by meddling in their affairs.

                  "Well, I'd be more than happy to offer my services to you both. I know I'm just a stranger, buy if it wouldn't be too presumptuous of me to ask, after we've completed our shopping, shall we visit your friend? I may not be able to help much, but sometimes a sympathetic ear is good enough."

                  The doctor glanced down at her basket and sighed. She wished she had the time to prepare meals with fresh ingredients, rather than eating premade food that only needed to be heated up in an oven. She glanced over at her new acquaintance's basket and realised that she hadn't gotten his name. Or that of his friend, for that matter. How thoughtless of her.

                  "Forgive me, but, what are your names? Yours, and that of your troubled friend? "

The raven-haired man was pointing out to the butcher to have the meat cut out as per the instructions in the list to save time. Considering that their lives were always busy, asking for assistance would be a plausible option, more so with the meal preparations. Corbin paused for a few seconds, contemplating on the answer, before finally voicing out. "She does want some time alone, but I believe that Wednesday is the available option for this week so that you can go check on her. Her shifts at work tend to be... unpredictable, depending on how busy the restaurant may be. I'll let you know when it's time, more so when she'll be visiting your clinic, and sadly, I have no idea where it's located." Hikaru may have other plans, more so with the gypsy man who had been in her mind and heart several more times that she would have anticipated. Corbin hated to put a damper on their growing relationship, but her self-assessment was also important, too.

And his voice was still audible even with the whacking of the knife against the chopping board as he introduced himself. "My name's Corbin, and my friend's name is Hikaru Matsumoto. It's a pleasure to meet you, Doctor. She can be cautious due to trust issues, but she may trust you once I explain the purpose of the appointment." Even he could be cautious, also, but right now, the doctor was one option to rely on to help his mistress with such feelings of love and sorrow.
