A satisfied sigh escaped Sadao as he strolled through the streets, his hands deep within his pockets and his eyes slowly scanning his surroundings with a small pleasant smile on his face. He was happy to see that everyone was already making the most of their day. Doing business within their market stalls, having fun with loved ones or simply enjoying themselves like he was. Seeing small things like this always put him in a good mood. Soon enough he noticed a small group of familiar faces gave a lazy wave towards a group of children who lit up the second they saw him. "Sadao, there you are!" one of them exclaimed as they ran towards them. Sadao chuckled and ruffled the kids hair as the rest of his friends began to walk with him and Jasper. 

"Hey Bud, staying out of trouble?" he asked with a grin, but before Bud could reply one of his friends, Snips, laughed. 

"As if, he keeps fighting those rich kids that like to hang around the park," Sadao raised an eyebrow as he finally noticed a few bruises on his face and knuckles. He sighed and shook his head with a smile. 

"Well don't kill them, I know how you can get in a fight," Bud gave a sheepish smile and rubbed the back of his head. 

"Yeah I know," he chuckled before another member of the little group, Polly spoke up as she glanced between Jasper and Sadao. 

"Are you guys on a date?" she asked bluntly. Sadao paused for a moment before bursting out into laugher and shaking his head. He wiped a tear from his eye and spoke. 

"No of course not, we're-" before he could explain Snips scoffed and shook his head. 

"Of course they're not on a date, Sadao isn't good with the ladies remember?" Sadao's amused smiled dropped as he glanced over to Snips with an unamused look. 

"Oi," Bud nodded his head and crossed his arms. 

"Yeah, plus he's to old. Look at them, for all we know that's his daughter!" Sadao's head lowered a bit as a dark cloud lingered over his head. 

"I'm twenty-two," he mumbled, but the group of kids didn't hear him and Polly looked to Sadao with teary eyes after giving a small gasp.

"Sadao, a-are you... paying for company?" she asked with pity and sadness in bother her voice and eyes. Bud and Snips gasped and looked to Sadao in shock before shaking there heads in disappointment. Sadao only balled up his fist and glared at the children, an aura of anger surrounding him. 

"Do I look like an old pervert you little bustards!?" he shouted. They were silent for a moment before Bud spoke. 

"Weeell," Sadao slightly drew his blade with his thumb and the kids ran away laughing as they knew it was time to escape. They turned around the corner of a street, but before they did Bud looked back with a large grin. "Don't worry old perv, we won't tell anyone!" he shouted and gave a thumbs up before disappearing around the corner. Sadao growled as he slid his sword back into his sheath. A few people on the streets looked to Sadao with questioning looks or pitiful glances. He sighed and continued on with Jasper towards the station. 

"Kids, huh?" he asked as he tightened his grasp on his swords grip. "Sometimes you wish they shut up," he mumbled, but chuckled as he shook his head. He knew they were good, but sometimes he just wanted to bonk them on the heads.
