Team SABL Ch 11
In the shop
"What did you do to your gear?" Pierre Magimel cried as he looked over Silver's combat gear. Swamp muck was caked into the pants and jacket staining it permanently a green gray color.
"I put your warranty to the test. It didn't hold up." Silver smiled like his namesake a daemon.
"Yes, well, as per the warranty. A complete refund and a new uniform for ...free." Pierre said with some difficulty. The man in question wore a red and white vest over a yellow long sleeved shirt and blue slacks. His shoes were hidden from view behind the counter. He was an older man in his thirties to forties and had a long handle bar brown mustache and brown hair that ended in large curls.
Silver turned around from the counter to observe his new found "friends" that word tasted like diabetes. Yang, Weiss, Pyrrha, Alicia and Lulu were examining the clothes on display with critical eyes. While Ruby, Blake, Nora, Ren, Jaune and Beatrix were looking at ammo, dust, books, keeping things from breaking, action figures and a few weapons.
Gerard Magimel slid/walked towards the young man. He was the older brother to Pierre and looked similar except for the small round glasses he wore and shorter hair. "It's good to see you with so many friends. You're usually on your own whenever you come by."
Silver sighed at his words. "That word makes me feel uncomfortable."
"Oh and what's wrong with that?" The older man wondered aloud as he observed one of his oldest clients.
"Friends come and go. I don't like that even if we keep in touch those bonds can be broken over time." Gerard watched his old client. His eyes constantly shifted to his team first Gerard noticed. Lulu, Beatrix and Alicia were where he looked first all the time. Then he slowly shifted over to team JNPR and then ever so slowly to team RWBY.
"It sounds to me like you're looking for a family." Gerard pointed out.
"Maybe." Silver turned back around as Pierre walked out from back of the store.
Later in the day
"I can't believe that was the Pierre Magimel." Weiss gushed with glee. A bag swung from her arm with her purchase in it. Lulu and Yang shared her enthusiasm as they strolled along although Yang was perturbed.
"Why didn't he fall for my charm though?" Her eyes flashed between red and lilac.
"Their gay." Silver smirked at everyone's reaction.
"Well that explains it." Yang sighed looking at her chest.
Ruby was surprised she hadn't met a really gay person before today. Beatrix blushed at the revelation and Weiss stopped short in her stride.
Lulu sighed sadly. "Why are the good ones either gay, taken, dense or murderers?"
"It's because their all the types that we aren't looking at." Blake said sadly.
"At least we got a discount on our purchases with our new ring cards." Nora danced around happily.
"Yeah, we got some awesome deals." Alicia giggled her arms filled with bags of purchases.
"Uh, they don't usually hit on every male that enters their store do they?" Jaune's face was one of confusion.
"They were very open about it so I think they do." Ren's face was collected and composed. Two overly gay guys to him were nothing compared to a Nora on caffeine.
"I'm sure it was just a coincidence." Pyrrha tried brushing off the matter. That Pierre had been too close to her Jaune.
"Actually they only hit on pretty ones like us more often than not. It took awhile to get across to them that I don't swing that way." Silver said nonchalantly leading the teams on towards a weapon shop.
