To The Town

"I think you know the answer to that Leon. Now how about we all have tea and get ALONG." Count D said with his expression of 'drink the tea or die.'

"I'll pass on the tea thanks..." He glances at Angel "So, what's she supposed to be?"

The count looks at him as if he is blind. "She is a Wild Angel. Isn't that obvious?"

He looks back at the Count "Never heard of it...is that some kind of bird?"

"She is an Angel! Don't you know what an Angel is?"

"I know what an angel is...who doesn't? What I didn't get was the 'Wild' part."

D sighed. "And here i thought you were smarter than other humans! She is free."

Taizu is looking on in confusion. "Will someone explain what is going on!?"

"Ah, now I get it..." He looks at Taizu "if it concerned you we'd tell you, but guess what? It doesn't!"

"You little!" Taizu said.

"Taizu! You will be nice to Leon . What you see before you is a Wild Angel in the shape of a Pegasus! So inconsiderate!"

Leon looks at D a bit suprised and even more confused. "You're actually defending me? Well that's new...you feeling ok?"

Angel has been calmly sipping on a cup of tea just watching everyone.

"Well i wont be making a habit of it then." The Count says with a very feminine pout.

"Uh...im gonna go now.." Taizu says as he and Chin back out.

"Then go on!" D says.

Once Taizu leaves Leon looks around the shop again. "So this is what they all really look like huh?"

"Yes. Simply amazing aren't they? Your brother Chris could see them."

"He did say something like that, but then he said for some reason after he talked again he couldn't see them anymore..."

"I suspect that is because he had 'grown up'. You see once he could talk he no longer had to reply on those who could read thoughts to communicate with others." Count D said. Of course it wasn't that he 'suspected'. He knew.

Leon shrugs "I guess that sounds reasonable...you know I gotta ask, what are you being accused of this time, because from the way it seemed, that monkey is suspecting you of something."

"Oh yes, that. He thinks I'm trafficking drugs or running a slave trade. The same things you accused me of at first. I really wish he would at least get some original ideas." Count sighed.

"Yeah no kidding, but then I only wonder what else he could come up with for the simple fact of who's to say it wouldn't be worse then the original idea?"

By this point Angel has curled up on the chair, her wing kept where it wouldn't get moved or hit.

"True. Though I don't think it could get much more worse than murder." Turning to Angel. "Angel you want anything?"

"You'd be suprised..."


She was half-asleep when D spoke to her. "Huh? Oh, no, I'm fine thank you."

Count nods to Angel and turns back to Leon.

"Oh really? The only thing worse would be animal abuse!"

"Again, you'd be surprised...Alright, I have to head out for today, but I'll be back tomorrow."

"I have no doubt you will be. Have a good night Leon." Count sat back down in his chair.

"Later." He heads out of the pet shop.


Angel had fallen asleep on the chair when her injured wing suddenly twitched causing her to wake with a yelp of pain. She sighs looking at her wing sadly. "Count...how much longer is it going to be until I can fly again?"

"Last time it was dislocated and this time it was shattered. It will be a long time. Perhaps a month."
