ROAD & TYKI THE WHITE MAGES

Road rushes down the corridor, light filtering through the quartz walls and stained glass windows. Her white and blue dress shines in the light, loose ribbons leaving a trail behind her.

"Tyki!" Road easily smashes the wooden door, sending large and small splinters into the room.
"Road!" Tyki, who had been sprawled over his bed, cries out indignantly. "What!?"
"I'm bored." Road sits her hands on her hips. "We're going out."
"We are not." Tyki flops backwards.

"Yes. We. Are!" Road jumps towards him, covering an inhuman distance before landing on his bed next to him.
"Can't you leave me alone for one day?" Tyki looks up at her.

"No." Road giggles. "Come on!"

"Fine!" Tyki sits back up. "But you can't bother me for the rest of the day."
"Fine." Road grins. "Now, let's go!"

The two make their way out of the quartz castle, Road pulling along a reluctant Tyki. Tyki had thrown on the closest robe he had, which meant he was in an almost matching outfit to the eccentric girl.

"Hurry!" Road tugs on his arm.
"You have far too much energy." Tyki sighs. "Where are we even going?"
"The market!" Road laughs. "Of course."
"Of course."
"There's a sale on sweets today." Road smiles. "And you're getting me all of them."
"You know Sheryl would never let me. Besides, I didn't bring that much money." Tyki says.
"Fine." Road pouts. "As many as we can."
"Just don't be disappointed." Tyki says.
"Well…" Road grins. "We don't have to buy them."

"You should've asked the twins if you were planning this." Tyki sighs.
"They always take all of them for themselves!" Road defends. "Besides, it's more fun with you."

"…Thanks?"

The shopkeeper didn't even see them coming. One second, everything was peaceful; A customer sat at a nearby table and another stood inspecting the various confectionary he had on display.

A split second later, both customers were gone. No, that's not right. Technically, some of them were still there. The smoking ashes that were his ex-customers sizzle slightly, leaving only a large orb of light where each of them had stood.
"Good shot."
The shopkeeper's eyes snap to the shop's entrance, where a young girl and man stand.

"Thank you." The girl smiles, her hands still letting off wisps of smoke.

"You missed one, though." Tyki points out.
"I thought I'd let you have a go." Road giggles, grabbing onto Tyki's arm.
"Hm, how strangely kind of you." Tyki says, looking up at the shaking shopkeeper. "It'll be easier if you let go of me, though."
"Oh, right." Road laughs and jumps back. "Don't mind me."
"Jeez…" Tyki shakes his head and walks over to the man slowly, seemingly uninterested. "I was planning just to stay in today."

He rests on hand on the man's head, the latter still frozen in shock.

"You always stay in." Road grumbles. "You need to get out more."
"If you say so." Tyki's hand pulses with a white light.

The shopkeeper can hear the blood roaring in his ears, sweat runs down his face unnaturally.
He feels too hot.

"I do prefer staying out of the sun." Tyki continues. "I can't stand the heat."

And then, the man just… dissipated. His body dissolved into the air, falling into white dust, which disappeared as fast as it appeared. The last thing the shopkeeper saw was the disturbing pattern on Tyki's hand.

A butterfly?

"Yay!" Road stuffs a colourful patterned bag full of the various candies. She sweeps them cleanly off of the shelves, pausing only to sneak one of two into her mouth.

"There's almost enough here to last your week." Tyki muses, watching on with an expression akin to disgust. "I can't believe you get through so much so fast."

"How could I not!?" Road turns to him with a pout. "They're so yummy!"

"I can't believe you." Tyki shakes his head, which has started to ache. "Just get on with it so we can leave."

"Hmph. Fine."

Im sorry that it's so short, but there was a limit to how much I could put :3

there'll be more about these two later on. probably.

anyway, thanks for reading! I'm sorry that it's been a while, but I'll try not to take so long next time -.-
