Well, she didn't completely understand him, but at the very least she would be careful. It wasn't exactly the most reassuring of answers though it was something. [color=0072bc]"Of course I'm safe. We're pretty much family."[/color] Zenith laughed gently before they were walking in silence again. No one else would know it, but Akemi was absolutely elated that they would be visiting. This was her first time actually having freedom to explore the city without her grandparents breathing down her neck about her health.

There were quite a few... interesting stalls to say the least. Some of them were actually complete scams meant for tourists, such as one selling 'remedial crystals' in a bottle with unsubstantiated claims of improving health, among other snake oil products. Apparently, one of them was owned by a famous actress and people were actually stupid enough to buy these obviously fraudulent items. Akemi would pipe up again [color=0072bc]"I'd assume that everyone is generally safe, except for Kaden."[/color] His face soured when he mentioned that blight. [color=0072bc]"If he says something strange to you or makes you feel uncomfortable, tell me okay? He has a proclivity to flirt with anything wearing a skirt."[/color] While he does not disapprove of Kaden's lifestyle, there was still not a chance in hell that he would allow that playboy lays his grubby paws on Akemi. She had absolutely no experience with relationships and would definitely fall into Kaden's pace. Knowing her, this would probably influence her perceptions on what dating is for the worse.  

Her innocence was at least amusing at times. Zenith chuckled and said with a smirk, [color=0072bc]"Nah, that meat head just wanted a fight."[/color] Now that was an image; Tone wearing a gardener's hat watering a patch of flowers was such a stark contrast to what that battle addict is usually like. Zenith was twitching, barely holding back his laughter with tears welling up though after getting it out of his system he regained enough of his composure, save for a few aftershocks of giggles. [color=0072bc]"I wouldn't know. The garden is usually closed off to the general public, but I can bet that they are definitely a sight to behold."[/color]

He had gone silent for a large portion of the walk, but there was a nagging feeling clawing the back of his mind; Akemi's concept on good and evil had not changed. The older mage looked down at her and said, [color=0072bc]"Mimi, the world isn't as clear cut as you think it is. Very few things are."[/color]
