Characters; Mars (

Summary; Luke tries to cheer Mars up and they go Christmas shopping.
Log;

Luke stretched and yawned as he walked through the streets automatically walking around one of the strange moving, talking, perverted plushies when he happened upon one. Weird as they were it was a relief. They didn’t seem threatening in any way really, and they were, no matter how sentient, dolls. Even the meeker girls in the City should find little trouble dealing with them. And well if he looked at them from Tear’s point of view they were kind of cute.

And then she’d probably clutch one to her rather ample bosom, and both parties would be well and happy.

Luke pulled his the coat that Mars had given him closer to his body. He felt a bit strange walking around like this. The added warmth of the coat he appreciated but although he had other clothes he was not used to them. At all. But his pants had been rendered bare strips the day before thanks to those strange shadowy things (which Tear would probably also find cute) so he had little choice. And it wasn’t a big deal, even if it made him a little twitchy and uncomfortable. Instead of focusing on that now he could actually enjoy the snow falling, even the lonely ticking of the unseen clock couldn’t deter that.

He’d never visited Mars, though he talked to the large wrestler often enough, but it wasn’t difficult to find people’s homes in this city as long as they lived in one of the tall buildings.

Mars had desided to wear his Scarface suit (http://pics.livejournal.com/pineapple_pimp/pic/0002d7kz) (just the suit, not the ugly skin XD), as it was much warmer than his normal outfit. Instead of his regular Scarface jacket, he had a long brown trench coat which he had gotten himself as n early Christmas present.

The bird headed out of his apartment, slightly surprised to see the city invaded with little lion plushies. Oh well, atleast they weren't threatening.

The redhead waved at Mars when he spotted the older man. Not a difficult task considering how big the wrestler was. The biggest man Luke had seen was Largo and Mars was easily a head taller than him. It meant that Luke was practically looking up at the sky when he tried to face Mars once he was close enough.

“Hey! I’m glad today’s curse is pretty harmless,” Luke commented cheerfully as he watched a small herd of those toys run through the streets. One or two had mistaken Luke for a girl from behind or something but they weren’t mobbing him like those things yesterday and their claws were made of cloth so he didn’t really care.

[ooc; the manboobs are totally your fault.]

"Yeah. Although one've 'em thought my pecs were breasts." Mars grumbled and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Atleast dey won't interfer too much wit' our shoppin'. I got my list all ready." He patted his coat pocket, "Shall we get goin' den?"

Luke laughed slightly, his breath misting in the cold air. "Well they are big and stick out I guess. One or two grabbed onto me from behind, guess they thought I was a girl." It was kind of funny for them. Though the girls that were attacked by whole hordes of those little stuffed toys would definitely appreciate it less.

"Yeah, thanks to the recent curses I've been pushing back the shopping," Luke didn't really have much of a list. He didn't know a whole lot of people in the City though his short list was already difficult enough. He had very little idea of what he should get any of them.

The Chojin pouted and put his hands on his hips, overreacting of course. "They don't look like boobs!'" He said in a huffy manner. "Nah, I'm jus' kiddin'. They are pretty big, ain't dey?"

Luke reached up to poke at the hard muscle curiously. "Yeah, and hard too," he was constantly fascinated by the muscular man's build. He didn't think he'd ever find anyone in Aulderant that could even compare.

And because Mallory is silly like that, as Luke poked the pectoral, it twitched. That usually freaked out people, or amused them. Or both. So much for getting that shopping done.

"Mieu! That's amazing!" Mieu suddenly spoke up from wherever it had been that he'd been hiding. Given his size, he had probably stashed away in Luke's coat pocket and just hadn't spoken up until then.

Popping up and climbing up onto Luke's head, the little cheagle couldln't help but stare in awe.

Luke jumped. Either from the sudden and deliberate twitch of the muscle he'd poked or from suddenly hearing Mieu's voice.

"What are you doing here?" he asked after recovering, a little annoyed. He liked Mieu's company but sometimes that little blue thing really stuck his head everywhere.

Mars couldn't help but laugh, "He asked me earlier if he could tag along. I hope ya don't mind?"

Ears drouping in sadness at having causing his Master to become upset with him, the blue cheagle let out a small 'mieuuu.'

"I'm sorry Master. I just wanted to come and help you."

"..." Luke tried not to look at the dejected animal. Damn, that thing was hard to say no to, when it looked like that and sounded all sad. (...why did this sound familiar?)

"Fine. Just don't get lost or anything, okay? Just sit on my head or something."

"That thing is so cute. What is he?" Mars asked about Mieu. He'd never seen a creature like that before. Atleast not in his world.

"Yay!" Instantly perking up at getting Luke's approval, or something like that, Mieu's ears perked up and he smiled happily.

Offering his paw/hand to Mars, Mieu explained as if his words would explain everything. "I'm a cheagle!"

"As if that explains anything," the redhead rolled his eyes slightly at his little companion.

He looked up at Mars considering for a moment how to describe cheagles. "Thing" wasn't very descriptive and while "pig-monkey" was Luke tended to feel bad when he referred to Mieu as either. "Cheagles are sacred beasts from my world. They can't usually speak human language but that ring around Mieu's stomach translates for him."

"Huh." Mars blinked, "Dat's interestin'." He patted the cheagle on the head and smiled, "Shall we continue our little shoppin' adventure?"

"Yeah!" Luke replied enthusiastically, already adapting to the little set back that now sat happily on his head. He wanted to get something for Guy and Mieu too. And well Jade. Motoko too, though they hadn't spoken much. And Mars since the big man had helped him out considerably, but that would probably wait another day if he wanted to surprise the wrestler.

The bird took Luke all over the city, to all sorts of shops, incase they didn't find what they were looking for. Some of the items Mars got were a bit odd. Probably gag presents.

The only presents he had left to get were Luke's and Mieu's now.

Luke stepped out of the shop they’d just visited, a step behind Mars. He’d asked to duck in quickly, getting a little container of strawberries. Cheagles ate fruit after all and Mieu had been quietly accompanying them for most of the day. He opened the wrapping and handed one to the young cheagle, juggling his bags in his other hand.

He’d bought more gifts than he’d intended. A stuffed animal for Tear, a novel for Natalia, a charm bracelet for Anise, a broche for his mother, flower seeds that he’d never seen or heard of for Pere, a scarf for Noelle. And for other people that were at the moment, very, very far from him. It seemed the trip had reminded him that they still had to get back, there were still a lot of people back in Aulderant that Luke wanted to see again no matter how much he was enjoying making friends in this odd city.

But he knew he’d see them again, and when he did he would give them these gifts.

Of course he’d gotten gifts for Jade and Guy too. Only a few left, something for Mars and Mieu who seemed to simply like everything.

Mieu had been silent and was perfectly content to just look at all the different things in the stores that Luke and Mars had gone into. There were so many new things he'd never even heard of before. So many colors and sounds. Even some funny smelling things. Mieu wanted a closer look in some stores, but the cheagle rememberd how Luke had said not to wander off, so he stayed where he was. Despite the fact that he was so curious about everything.

However it looked like his good behavior had paid off when Mieu was handed a strawberry. The little cheagle looked up at his master with adoring eyes and took the fruit happily. With a very happy 'mieu,' the blue cheagle bit into the offering and one could practically see the hearts bubbling up from him.

Mars tried his best not to melt. Those two were just so cute! He smiled down at Mieu, "Yous like fruit too?"

"Yes!" Mieu chirpped happily. "Mieu. It's even better because Master was the one who gave it to me!"

So happy was he that Mieu never noticed until it was too late. Since he was still riding on Luke's shoulder, it was natural that since he wasn't paying any attention to where he was waving his hands, he'd accidently swipe Luke's cheek a bit. Unfortunately, Mieu's paws were still slightly covered with strawberry juice. The result, a bit of strawberry juice on Luke's cheek.

When Mieu finally noticed, the little guy's eyes widened. "Mieu! I'm sorry Master!" Leaning over, the cheagle licked off the little stain, intending to fix his minor error. "I didn't mean to get stuff on your face."

Luke supposed it would qualify as something between a lick from a dog and a kiss from a little boy. But still for some reason it made him blush, even though he should well used to the unconditional affection of his cheagle companion. He shrugged slightly, careful not to dislodge the animal, “Whatever, it’s just juice. It’s fine.”

Mars chuckled, smiling at the two, "You guys are too cute for your own good, ya know dat?"

"So, I got everyone on my list except yous two." He rubbed his chin, "Should we part ways and finish' our shoppin' alone?"

"Huh? But you already got me something!" Luke protested, holding out a sleeve to gesture at the coat that Mars had given him.

"Dat was just for da gift exchange. Besides, yous look like you could use a new pair of pants."
