Once upon a time (Get it? Because it's in a library?...Ok I'll stop (Hellbreaker and I)

As the two walked out of the apartment door, Nékos would call out "And don't get into any trouble!", Ida would say back "We'll be alright!". Ida gave Titus a little smile "I hope you and Nékos got to know each other a little bit, he's a little wary of new people but he's really nice".

Titus flinches slightly as Nékos calls out.As Ina speaks at him, he looks up, returning the smile hesitantly, then looks back down, pushing his shades up.Maybe he was, but the poor kid wasn't exactly the most firm as is.The boy understood why he did it, and in fact didn't blame him at all, but it did leave him a little shook.

Ida looked at Titus in concern, he seemed a little spooked "H-hey? Are you alright?..." She asked as they continued walking.

Titus walked beside her.Blinking as she asks him if he was OK, the boy looks up, and smiles reassuringly,nodding. He didn't want her to worry, and he didn't want to cause trouble either.

Ida wanted to really know if Titus was ok, because she had a feeling he wasn't, however, she didn't want to seem like one of those people who pry when not wanted, so she decided to stay quiet. If Titus didn't bring anything up for conversation, yet again, the walk would continue in silence until they made it to the icecream shop.

Titus glances at her,biting his lip. Hmm...Well, at least she didn't seem upset or anything..As they walk the boy considers,then nods slightly. It was rude not to talk to her.Searching for a topic he softly asks a question."S-so he really cares about you h-huh?"

Ida was a bit surprised by Titus's question, seeing how he was usually silent, however, she gave the B-teamer a small smile and a nod in response "Yeah" she said "He looks out for me like a father would.." Ida thought warmly of an image of Nékos at that moment, sitting in the living room waiting for her to come back home. Nékos's over protective ways made her think of another certain kitsune in her life, I'm glad Zorro wasn't at the house when Titus came, he might have actually harmed him..., the teenaged girl thought.

Titus smiles back shyly."T-thats good..." It was nice to have others to care about you. He knew that for sure. Then his eyes blink behind the ever present shades. Hmm? Like a father? Did that mean he wasn't her father? Was she adopted like he was?

Ida gave Titus another small nod before continuing to walk in silence, though she was tempted to ask what his family life was like, to keep the conversation going. Ida saw the icecream shop up ahead.

The boy glances at her,biting his lip. He wanted to ask her...but he also didn't want to annoy or upset her with questions like that. So, he returns to examining the ground below his feet.As they approach the shop he looks up, and seeing it, smiles. Ah...there we are.

Ida noticed that Titus had made a face, she wondered if he was ok, "I-is there something wrong, Titus?" The girl would ask. When they were at the door of the icecream , Ids would move to open the door for them while waiting for a response.

The boy blinks, looking up at the question.Reddening as his shades slip down, he softly answers." Uhm...No....Just t-thinking." As she gets the door Titus smiles at Iva gratefully, entering then waiting for her to do the same.

Ida felt as if Titus was tempted to say something, but didn't want to be nosey, the Teen gave Titus a smile as he walked in the icecream shop and walked in after him. There wasn't many people at the moment, so Ida went straight to the counter "Y-you can get anything you, I'm buying" she said cheerfully.

Titus adjusts his shades as they fall down again, reddening slightly at the smile.Following her up to the counter, the boy gives a small smile of gratitude as Ida tells him to get whatever,responding softly."Thanks....."Examining the menu, he points questioningly at mint and chocolate chip.

The person behind the counter gives Titus a smile "Mint chocolate chip? Anything else?" They asked, "Uh..French vanilla, please" Ida said with a small smile.
