โAs the female who asked about his motives to be there apologized for unknowingly setting out a load of old memories from his past, Vermont pulled one of his hands from the pocket and waved it, along with his head moving side to side calmly to further enforce the words to come. "It's all good, my mind my fault this time" .His eyes observed the woman close her sketchbook and felt a little bad, for getting in the way of the art she was making. After all, the male knew more than a whole lot of people how drawing and painting could be to a person. To stop that in any way was a sad thing. His eyebrow rose in curiosity though, as she inquired about what were the memories that surfaced moments before. It was funny to him somewhat that someone would actually be interested in the memories, it was similar to him always a bit curious to learn about small details and such about people and objects and all in between. "Simple thing, my father was a painter, a bloody good one at that" ,the male pointed out with pride, with slight visual emphasis as his both eyebrows jumped during the 'good' part of the sentence, and his gaze directing itself towards her own eyes, "He sold his work out on the streets, tough life that one, but I presume you work with art as well?" ,this time he asked, not really used to being the one getting questioned the whole process of a conversation, no matter the length of it.
It was then that he noticed that the other woman, who was curiously holding on to a small whiteboard and a single marker after he came forth, went out to reach into a guitar case next to them and was surprised to find it empty. Her despair into quickly getting up and looking around the park was evidence that things went bad when no one was paying attention. Another sting at his ego, presuming the dude got away with stealing the guitar under his nose cause he was too out of it with the old memories within. Suddenly, after apparently locking on to a single target, the female darted off in great speed, surprising Vermont himself as he didn't expect her to be that fast. He was ridiculously fast as well, with all the training and body conditioning, but to see someone so quick was always a feed to the eyes. Being extremely chilled and quite indifferent to the people around him considering the things he sees in his whole neighbourhood, Vermont just watched the woman take the thief down, the fight be broken apart by the guards and the exit by all others except herself. Strangely, she was smirking, even with the bloody nose running down crimson upon her shirt. Observing carefully, he noticed the object on her hands and was once more surprised. Quite the mental strength to do such a thing, steal from a dumb thief, when all things went down so fast and sudden. "What is this city and these people...?" ,Vermont mumbled low, wondering what the other girl would do. Comical, that's what the male considered the seriousness of the situation as the human bullet train came to notice the blood on her. His only response to that at the moment was to touch his own nose, wondering how hard a hit that must've have taken to bleed, as it is the usual case. Of course, the man was going to offer help, but only after her friend something, feeling socially pressured to let the closest person to her make the first move of aid.โ
Hikaru whistled softly. โHmm. Interesting. I might want to meet him if time permits.โ Her curiosity got the best of her at this moment. She clarified at the question about her job. โYes, but mostly at home. I am introvert, so I do want some time alone, all to myself-โShe was cut short when Mi-Yeong chased after the figure that stole her guitar. There was the altercation going on, but also, she stole the wallet from the crook, another payback for the stupid thing that the figure did, just like what the male dude had insinuated. Seeing the sight in front of her made her pissed off; the fallen angel would like to beat the heck out if that guy as well, but she knew better than to cause such a big, bloody scene. Instead, she leaned closer to the crook, a furious glare shimmering within her irises.
โBetter stay away, or there will be a special place in hell in which your unmentionables will be chopped into mash with a sausage grinder and you won't be able to bear children soon.โ
That was enough to induce an expression from the crookโs face as if he was about to puke as he was taken away by the guards. Hikaruโs expression remained serious as the car took off to the station. She then proceeded to check on Mi-Yeong who had sported a bloody nose. โHey, are you okay?โ

When Hikaru asked if the siren was okay, she simply gave her a grin and a thumbs up! She felt great after taking down the damn crook, but she was still very annoyed and frustrated. Her guitar was scratched up to hell! At least the good thing was that it wasn't completely broken AND she had the money now to get it fixed up. Soon after, Mi-Yeong touched her nose only to wince in pain. " Owww... That's definitely gonna be a big bruise tomorrow... Great... " She touched it once more, making sure that it wasn't broke, and thank goodness it wasn't! There was no way she would be able to afford the hospital bill for a rhinoplasty if her nose was that bad to need surgery. Looking down at her shirt, the siren seemed to groan silently. This was her good work-out shirt! Now she would have to throw it out. The outfit she had on today was mainly athletic wear - compression shorts (long enough to cover the scars on the back of her upper thighs), a thin jacket, a sports bra, and now the newly ruined shirt. Since it wasn't weird to see women running and jogging through the park with just their sports bra as the top, Mi-Yeong took off the bloodied shirt and threw it away in the nearest trash. She wasn't even going to try to get the blood stains out of that. Afterwards, she quickly put the thin jacket back on, making sure to be fast enough so that the others wouldn't see the scars on her wrists. She wasn't too proud to be sporting those around out in the open, hence the reason for the jacket.
Anyways, after that whole fiasco, definitely needed to lay down for a second. Since her adrenaline high was starting crash, she was feeling like absolute s**t. She walked back over to where they were originally sitting and plopped onto the ground after putting her scratched up guitar back in the case. " Note to self: buy a damn lock for your case. People are crazy here. "

โQuietly, Vermont observed the woman confirm to her friend that she was alright with a mere thumbs up. His crystal like eyes following her movements as she went to remove and throw out the unecessary bloody clothing and put on a jacket, not bothering to look for any details on her body as she did all of that. There was also no interest in her physical figure, his gaze was merely to see if her conditions were fine after all of that action. No limping or something of the sort. It was apparently all well with the woman as the first thing she did after getting her sporty outfit sorted was to sit down tiredly and safely put away her guitar into the case. Considering she had taken the assailant's wallet, money would most likely not be that much of hassle to get her guitar fixed up. Terribly quick this woman is.
Approaching her and her friend again, not feeling all that much of a stranger since the social pressure of talking to them was thrown out of existence by the sudden adrenaline rush, Vermont cracked his neck lightly and rose his eyebrows a bit. "Well, on the bright side, it's not often you get to beat the devil out of a thief and strip the man of his green papers" ,he said jokingly, not taking long to return to his neutral expression. Not that raised eyebrows were that much of a raw expression to begin with. Looking down at the female who had yet to say a word to him, the dark male gave a small friendly nod and then returned to her more social friend. "Also...about my father, I'm afraid it is a tad late to meet his person. You could check out some of his paintings I stored at the bar I work at" ,he explained, deep voice carrying traces of an english accent. His years of traveling did damage the strength of that accent, but touches of it still remained. "If you ever feel like it, I mean" ,his right hand gesturing along with his words now, with the palm facing the sky at chest height, with a small distance away from his own body, "introverts aren't really ones to show up there, you see, but it's worth the trip" .It wasn't a common occurrence for him to talk that much with people he barely knew, nor to invite them to the bar since movement wasn't all that bad for the Captain's Deck, but to open conversation more than he is used to was the only way he found not to make the situation he caused that terribly awkward, and maybe he could gain something out of the interactions, even if just a little bit of curiosities from them.โ
Hikaru sighed at the gesture; she was mainly sure that it was mostly to conceal the pain Mi-Yeong was feeling, as it was no joke having to suffer like that. She helped the guitarist out in lying down on the blanket, using her bag as a form of leverage for her head to prevent further complications with the bleeding, all while listening to the man's words that his father was actually deceased, though the artworks were on display in his workplace. โOh, I see. So where are you working exactly, Mr. ....? Sorry, I forgot that you have to introduce yourself,โ she spoke, then focused her attention to the black-haired maiden. โShall I get you some medical help? Your injuries needed to be assessed immediately.โ Hikaru would like to fly since she was a fallen angel, but she didn't want to arouse suspicion from everyone around her just yet. A cab may do nicely, though Mi-Yeong may have to lean her head up to reduce the pain.
She then picked up her phone, having to call the emergency number. The sooner the ambulance would drop by to potentially take the patient to the hospital, the better.

It seemed as though Hikaru was now in the care-taker role. She propped Mi-Yeong's head up with her bag and even was calling and ambulance..?! The silent siren didn't think that a bloody nose really needed a trip to the hospital. It was just a small scuffle anyways. She shot back up and was waving her hands, signalling Hikaru to stop. Mi-Yeong even grabbed her whiteboard and wrote, " No ambulance! I'm fine. "" She honestly appreciated her concern, but she knew that the bill for calling the ambulance was going to be waaay too much for her. She erased what was on her board and scribbled something again. " I just need some ice. I'm pretty sure we can find a place and ask them for it. Thanks for worrying about me, though. " Mi-Yeong had to admit that it felt nice to actually be cared for, even if it was just a small bit. The siren gave the brunette and small smile as she patted her shoulder. Although the two had just met today, she somewhat considered Hikaru a friend. Hell, she felt like she did pretty good today so far. She made a friend, beat up a thief, and earned stole some money, too! A bloody nose wasn't going to automatically ruin her day.
Glancing up at the man, Mi-Yeong sighed and again, starting writing. " If you work at a bar, we should go there for ice. I bruise like a banana and I can already feel the giant a** mark forming. Besides, a drink or two shouldn't hurt. " She then smirked and waved the crook's wallet in her hand. That meant that drinks were on her today. To her surprise, the wallet had at least $400 in there. Whether or not it was stolen money that the crook took from other people wasn't her concern. Even "dirty" money was valuable to her. She then moved her glance over to Hikaru with curiosity. Does she drink? To be honest, she seemed like the straight-laced type, so she wasn't 100% sure if she would be down for a couple rounds of shots.

โListening to the more talkative friend's words, the male made a disappointed face, with lips curving downwards lightly and his eyes closing for a brief moment, just enough to express well the let down in himself and accepting the fact he should've introduced himself earlier. Like usual, didn't take long for him to return to the neutral face he so easily maintained. "Apologies again, honestly. The name's Vermont, I work at the Captain's Deck back at Lune Beach. Nifty little place if you want to take a breather" .The dark male responded with a respectful yet casual tone to the woman, this time making a little bit of a comercial attitude, thinking about the whole problematic thing that just went down and how they probaly wouldn't want to spend their time there much longer. In the same token, Vermont was ready to question the two women what their names were, but as soon as his eyes focused well on one of them, she was already trying to contact an ambulance, understandably worried about the bloody girl next to them.
Surprisingly enough, the silent one rose up to her feet in desperate speed and opposed the other in calling in for help. With the aid of her apparently trusty whiteboard, she was able to communicate well how she was actually good and only required some ice. Vermont respected the endurance she presented, but even he wondered if that was really the right call to make when you just got out of a struggle with a random violent thief and had your nose painted crimson with your own productions. In any given case, his clear eyes merely observed the following scenes of proximity between the two and gave no thought to it besides internally feeling like it was quite movie-ish. Not only that particular moment, but the whole chain of events that led there.
Curious, Vermont gazed back down to the female with the board as she turned her eyes to him, along with the board itself after having written down her intentions on it. An eyebrow rose high in truthful interest in what was read there. It was not expected that she, out of the two, would be the one to show motivation to go to the Captain's Deck for a drink, despite the ice being the main apparent reason. "It's a bit of a walk from here...", the male said looking off into the distance, trying to figure the exact direction where the bar would be located before returning his sight back to the woman, "But as long as you got money, it's a great choice" ,his lips would rise at the right side, pronouncing a weak smile created by the humor coming from the shake of her hand, holding the crook's wallet. This day would stay on his memories for a good time.
Following the silent girl's sight back to her more talkative friend, the manager also kept a gaze on her without any sort of intimidating or oppressive pose. Merely looking curiously to see what she would think of the idea. "We have some dainty food and free water as well, in case you're not one for the poison", he said in a calm tone, jokingly calling alcohol poison despite not showing any reaction to his own words. The lack of personality in his face was merely a point of his raw existence, at this point. Whatever the girls chose, he would be more than willing to show them the place, or to at least make them one of the drinks if the bartenders are not able at the time. Part of being a manager is understanding and executing all the possible things underneath his rank, in situations of emergency or overcrowd.โ
The fallen angel was about to tap the call button when there was the glimpse of the decline for the ambulance. She sighed, having to put down her phone, though the guy, now known as Vermont, mentioned that he was working at a bar known as The Captain's Deck, situated within the beach. Plus, there were drinks available there plus the ice as first-aid for Mi-Yeong's injuries. Not that substantial, but better than nothing. โCome to think of it, my raven companion had dropped by that place before alongside his boyfriend,โ she then tucked her pencils and erasers back in the proper casings, together with securing the picnic basket closed. โVery well, gotta check that place out. Now I'm really intrigued.โ
After some time, and with her belongings kept safe inside the compartments of her bag and basket, Hikaru left the park together with those two. The cab would still be used as the mode of transportation, except that it wouldn't be for the lift of the hospital. And as she finally made herself comfortable on the seat, still prompting Mi-Yeong to lean her head up slightly to reduce the throbbing, that was when she contemplated on calling Anthony for medicinal aid. But still, it would be no guarantee that it would work on the guitarist, and it must be when Mi-Yeoung wouldn't mind that offer.
That would have to wait, however, at least until the trio would make it at the bar. And that was where the car would be heading next.
Seeing as Hikaru agreed to go, Mi-Yeong's face lit up as she had a wide toothy grin. Finally, drinks and ice! Eager to get a move on, the siren quickly got her own things together and then carried her guitar case on her back, using the strap for it as support. It took a little bit of time, but finally the cab showed up and Mi-Yeong crawled in, making sure there was room enough for Vermont and Hikaru. She thought she was done getting babied when her brunette friend told her to keep her head tilted up slightly. Of course, she groaned like how a child would to their mother, but she still did what she was told. The only reason was so that Hikaru wouldn't worry so much. It was just a bloody nose, at least to her it was. She had gotten into plenty of scuffles before with some of the kids in her neighborhood, so this was nothing serious to her. The sooner the cab drove off, the sooner she would be able to drink and get her ice that she needed!

โDespite finding odd the fact the girl mentioned about how her 'raven' companion had been to the Captain's Deck before with a boyfriend, Vermont mentally shrugged that fact off as he was focused on her response to the invitation to visit his place of work. The answer would become clear to him as she began to pack up all of her materials and grab hold of the picnic basket they had sitting there, evidence of the good time they were having before all things unleashed after his random arrival there. "The deck won't disappoint, happy to have you two there" ,the male spoke lastly, expressing himself as the current manager and making some marketing before getting ready to go out to his money maker.
With both of the women ready to depart, it wasn't long before the cab arrived to take them to the destination by the beach. The place itself was known as a tad shady, due to the line of business, but the view was still amazing thanks to the natural scenario and the tropical and historically themed structure. With both of them inside, he sat down last and made himself comfortable by the window, automatically resting his own head on the hand supported by the door. His clear eyes just zooming out of every little thing that passed his sight as he wondered how random this whole thing was. To come alone to relax and now be heading to the Captain's Deck with two girls that don't seem all that fond of him yet. Can't blame them, but it was still a little stingy that they were more interested in the ice and drinks than who he was. Vermont knew he was no danger, on the contrary of that, but the oddness of it was mind bugging.โ
By default Patrick and Hiro arrived to their spot to their usual routine of visiting the park on a Saturday. He brought along with an umbrella in case it rains. Stopped at their usual spot there and set up the umbrella so they can be under it. Like always he took out the toys to play with kitten. Started with the feather toy and hanging in reach so Hiro can swat at it with his paws.
It was an another new day for Kalistia's journey of wandering around to get to know about the areas. This time it was a park. Gazing at the beautiful area where the trees filled with green, she looked around at the people who were exercising or just hanging out. She thought she would be walking around for a bit, but paused when there was someone similar in the distance. Oh! It's the person from the aquarium!
"Hello! It seems we meet again." Smiling cheerfully, she walked closer to where Patrick and Hiro was.

Patrick was really enjoying himself playing with his lovely kitten. He hears a familiar feminine voice and he lowers the toy before looking to the person. Smiles softly, "Nice to see you again too, miss" he greeted back. "What brings you to the town's park?" he asked her. Hiro runs up to her then sits down and greets the woman with a cut meow.
