Are my ears really THAT big? (Cloche')

[Roy Atenwood]

Well, today was odd, to say the least. Roy was being followed, but he diddn't know who was following him. He turned around, and saw nobody. Thinking it was just an errant thought following him around, he kept walking through the city.

He was right, and the feeling faded after a while.

He walked into a small music store, and bought several CDs, amid gales of laughter coming from the girl at the register.

Nice ears...what the hell are you?

"A Half-elf.....please just let me buy these CDs without having to go through any crap. I get enough crap when I visit my parents on holiday. Alright?"

Y-yeah....ok. Sorry, dude. 15 bucks.

"Thanks."

Roy walked down the street once more, and was walking faster than usual, trying not to draw attention to himself.

Hard to do with ears that stuck out like his did.

He picked up the pace, turned a corner, and......

*WHAM!*

"Oh, jeez! I'm sorry!"

[cloche]

“Owwww...” Cloché groaned as she rubbed her head which as she fell, slightly hit the ground. She opened her eyes to see that it was not her that had caused the accident, but another being, surprisingly. Nonetheless, she broke out into apology:

“Oh la la, pardon. Je suis désolé, sorry, sorry, sir.”

Cloché scrambled around the ground to pick up anything Roy had dropped, groping around in the dark enclosed street. Frantically she just grabbed numerous objects on the ground she wasn’t even sure were his, including a couple of his CDs, a (seemingly) rubber ball, half of a book, a real toothbrush, Spanish rice, a fake toothbrush, a real beard, and...

A bra?!

Okay, I was kidding about the last five. But screw it, go with randomness.

After fully pinking up every item in the vicinity she dropped them upon him, completely unaware of what objects she had picked up.
Smiling she stood up straight as smiled brightly, expecting praise and/or penance of bumping into him, even though she had not had anything to do with the starting of the incident besides not being able to see someone from around a corner...if that’s a sin (Could be, never know with them crazy Catholics)

[Roy Atenwood]

"Thank you so much...I'm sorry I ran into you like that....I wasn't paying attention."

I'm such an idiot.....I can't believe I just did that. I can usually sense if someone is around the corner...what's wrong with me?

Roy stood up, putting the CDs in his jacket pocket. After doing so he looked at the girl he had run into...or rather, looked down to her. She was around nine inches shorter than him, but he guaged her as at least a year older.

Odd.

"I'm really sorry about that...thanks for helping me pick these things up."

[cloche]

“Yes! I mean...You’re very welcome!” Cloché smiled brightly and quite largely. She closed her eyes; her body shook out of joy from sheer praise, almost like a puppy. When she opened those large beaming bright blue eyes once more she sprung from her position, already only a foot or so away, launching off from the uneven stone-paved street straight to about his middle-torso area with a very happy, energetic, and incredibly large...

glomp.

Ooc{ If you don’t know what a glomp is...(shame)

[Roy Atenwood]

((OOC: I know what a glomp is....it happens to me on a daily basis. My female friends love easily flustered nerds.))

"Whoah!"

She wasn't heavy, but when she, for lack of a better word, glomped Roy, he was knocked to the ground. He started laughing, as well. This was one of the damndest things he'd ever seen.

She was also hugging him pretty tightly.

Ooookaaaay...most people avoid me.....but this girl, whoever she is, just..wel...glomped me. In public. That's rather odd, if I say so myself.

"S-so.....I'm Roy. What's your name?"

[cloche]

“Cloché Nue!” she looked up, her smile seeming to expand even wider. And as her smile expanded, her grip tightened even more, pressing her body up against his, and more noticeably, her surprisingly full-grown chest strange compared to her underdeveloped size and facial features.

It was a definitely strange sight: a half elf on the ground and a small girl tightly wrapped and pressing herself into him around his mid-torso and down.
It was dark in that little connecting street which seemed to stretch on forever into a darkened tunnel in which was the direction she had come from. The sun was setting to a marvelous purple-pink-yellow glaze over the painted sky. The breeze was soft, and even though they were in a relatively closed off area, a breeze came from somewhere and strangely seemed to pull into the tunnel.
Eerie it was, the tunnel, I mean.

Though where they were it seemed nice. And surprisingly, empty.

[Roy Atenwood]

Oh man...thank god I'm a nice guy....someone else might take advantage of her......or....geez! STOP THINKING THAT WAY, ROY!

Oddly enough, Roy felt at ease. Maybe it was Cloche's childlike nature? Even though he did turn beet red when he caught ssight of her chest.....

Damnit, Roy, you barely know her! Remember the Inoan code of honor! Who cares if a girl is wrapped around your waist in an alleyway with a creepy tunnel in veiw....and a beutiful sunset....

Well, suffice it to say, he had no idea how to deal with this kind of situation. He was feeling nervous, but happy, and Cloche' haddn't run away screaming when she saw his ears.

Of course, most people just laughed at them, now. He was pretty out of place in this city, but not really SCARY out of place. Well, at least if this situation said anything.

And she seemed to be hugging him a little bit tighter, now.

Wow, this was akward.

"S-so....w-what do you s-say I buy you a cup of t-tea or something. To m-make up f-for bumping into y-you?"

That tunnel was starting to make Roy nervous. He felt like something was going to jump out, and try to hurt Cloche'. He diddn't know if he could protect her without his staff, even if he still had his "Anti-Hellspawn" silver dagger.

[cloche]

Cloché leaped back now, seemingly baffled and maybe a little mad at herself. She clonked herself on the head with her fist and bowed, “I’m so sorry for my rudeness. I ummm...did not control myself. I will take full responsibility for my actions.” She blurted.

Brother told me not to do that. He said people don’t like that. Nunnies said it was not lady-like...

Though, with all her talk of rudeness and improper actions, she had completely forgotten his question in the first place. Leaving him with no answer but an apology.

[Roy Atenwood]

((OOC: Hope you don't mind me pulling something out of the tunnel....))

"What do yu mean, take full responsability for your actions? You were happy, you have nothing to be sorry for." Roy said with a smile. He had been having stupid thoughts, himself.

But that was what happned when a girl glomps a loser like Roy. Stupid thoughts in a stupid loser's head.

"What do you say I buy you a big cookie. One puts other big cookies to shame?"

Just as Roy asked the question, he heard something from the tunnel. Several figures stepped out, one holding a flame in his hand. "Hand over yer money and the girl, and we'll let you go, pretty boy."

Well, another oportunity for Roy to make an ass of himself.

"Miss Nue, you may wish to stay behind me."

Roy stepped foreward, the jacket he was wearing flapping behind him.

"So......thieves inhabit this city as well? I'm warning you now! Take one step toward this girl and you'll never walk again!"
