Arjean found it fun to explore the islands when their family were too busy to watch them. It's not like their family cared much if they left on their own, as long as they kept their watch on and returned home without getting into trouble they were fine. Instead of exploring the woods or the park Arjean wanted to go and look around the city and see if there was anything, or anyone, interesting there. Maybe they could find a pet to play with before leaving it when they had to go home. Or maybe they could find a shop to explore and ask their mommies if they could get something from there.

As they swung their messenger back and forth they spoke to Chaoshag and Mistling who resided in their bag quietly. "I need to find more friends. An army of friends! Or maybe a tutor. I dunno. Someone fun." They didn't even feel like speaking to their Protector Guardians, or any of their other friends. Their family wanted them to get friends everyone could hear and see anyways, which meant no invisible friends, toys, or dolls like Chaoshag and Mistling. Arjean thought it was unfair, but their family thought it was normal. There was always the chance to meet someone who could train them in their powers or academics. Someone like that could be their tutor and friend.

Today was a very dull day for Joseph, he had sat around making things with his powers forming shapes and practicing. He found this to be boring and deiced to take a walk to the city because he wanted to find more places to buy blood from if he ever needed any. Not to mention the prices, Joseph was tight on personal money and he planned on checking every single store before he found the cheapest one to buy from. But also in the back of his mind he had heard about blood bars and how kids were not allowed in, the idea of sneaking in and seeing what they were like was a fun one to Joseph and maybe he would even meet someone with similar powers to his.

As Joseph walked down the side walk he noticed little Arjean and squinted. Joesph had never seen and being like that before in all of his life and for a brief moment observed the Oricenta. To him they seemed like a little girl and one part of Joe thought about walking up and asking them if they were alright, the other part told him to just brush it off and walk away. But his mother had taught him to be nice to others and help strangers that seemed as if they were in need and he needed to talk to more people anyways. So he bit his tongue and walked over to them."Umm..... are you lost little girl.......?" he said looking down at the Oricenta.

Arjean was so caught up in their own thoughts and mumbling to themself about plans on making friend that when someone came up and spoke to them they flinched and tried to defend themself. The best they could think of was blocking their body with their wings, but if someone was trying to attack them that would've done nothing. It at least provided them comfort of feeling a bit safer. Their eyes were wide open and their tail pointed upwards though, as if some other oricenta would notice their fear.

The person who spoke to them was just a boy though, yet he was bigger and older. He didn't seem threatening at all though and even looked worried for them. Arjean tried to put on a smile, closed their eyes, and tried to act like they weren't scared at all. They even folded their wings instead of having it cover their body like a pathetic shield. Now that they were questioned if they were lost, Arjean looked around and found they really were lost. They had no idea where they walked off too and now they were surrounded by a bunch of unfamiliar shops and people.

"Y-Yes..." they responded, their face flushing a light blue against their dark skin. "A-And... um... I... I'm not a girl..." they added on, feeling even worse for some reason. Correcting people for being wrong always felt weird, and it either made them feel scared, angry, or proud, but right now they just felt scared. Maybe they shouldn't be trying to tell one of the big kids that he was wrong. They had no idea how he would react, and their maman usually didn't respond too happily if Arjean said something that contradicted what she believed. They nearly shivered thinking about what happened to them after those times.​

Joseph tiled his head and stared at Arjean for a moment and was puzzled at what they were doing. All Joe could think of was to just stare at them with his same blank expression since he had no idea what was going on in that brief moment. Did he do something wrong, maybe he startled them, this Joe didn't know. He put his hands up in front of him and took a step back giving them some space which they clearly wanted in his eyes.​

Joseph relaxed a bit when they folded their wings and gave them a small smile, as he knew children usually are more relaxed when they see friendly faces. Joseph was also very interested as to what they were, to him they looked like some sort of humanoid sheep with wings, though he thought about asking he remembered why he approached them in the first place and thought that it would probably be rude of him to ask right away.​

"Well...... can i help you find your way home perhaps..... I don't know this island that well but i can bring you back to the school they will probably know what to do......" he said still having the half smile across his face. He then felt really awkward after they told him that they were not a girl and in Joe's head all he thought was how stupid he was for assuming that on an island of supernatural people and creature."Oh....... i apologize, that was rude of me" he said trying to make things seem better.​

He really wasn't that bad. He backed away when Arjean showed fear and tried to make them feel better. Remember, not everyone is bad. Only some. Not all. Arjean thought to themself. It felt weird talking to someone who was outside of their family, the Meis' family, wasn't a toy, and wasn't someone they could only see and hear. Despite them making a new friend named Theo, it was still a new thing to befriend another person like this. Then a thought hit Arjean that made them feel a bit sick. Maybe he was another person only they could see and hear. It was hard to tell the difference, but everyone else could easily. Arjean wanted to touch him just to see, but even then that wasn't concrete proof since what they touched could be something someone else went straight through. Touching also made Arjean feel anxious and scared and like they wanted to cry and throw up at the same time. There was no reward in trying to touch the boy.

For now it didn't matter since their family weren't here to judge. This was Arjean's chance to make a new friend, no matter what his origin was. "I forgive you, but I want to explore. I call my mommies if I need them." They showed off their watch that tracked where they were by their family. They could press buttons to call their family and their family could call them. Sometimes there were alarms on their watch that told Arjean when it was time to do something, such as heading home when they left for fun. "Who're you? I'm Arjean Afolabi-Soie."​

Joseph felt terribly awkward in that moment and payed close attentions to their face's expressions. The last thing Joseph wanted was to make a smaller child cry in public, so he tried to keep the half assed smile on his face even though smiling made him uncomfortable. He thought to him self why he had gone to such lengths to help them, but he also felt a small amount of proud for him self as he was usually very bad at introductions and just flat out talking to people in general.​

Joseph let out a huge sigh of relief as the oricenta explained that their family knew where they were or that they could at least contact them. So they were out here all alone for basically the same reason he was here. Which was to wander around until they found something interesting. The only difference was the thing that interested Joe the most were the stores that sold blood and he doubted a child wanted to see all of that blood. So Joseph had the idea to tag along with the little one and keep them out of trouble, at least until one of their parents came to get them. He thought whether to tell them his real name or to tell them to just call him Blight. But they were little and it wasn't like they were going to do anything to him seeing as they were quite scared just a minute ago.".......My name is Joseph, do you mind if i tag along......... i'm quite new here and it would be nice to walk around with someone........." he said trying to seem cheerful even though he was clearly not.​

Arjean had a feeling he was uncomfortable, especially since his smile and speech didn't feel completely genuine, but they decided to not point it out. Rémi had trouble with her facial expressions too sometimes, so maybe Joseph had the same problem she had. Arjean remembered Rémi saying she just chose to not express her emotions and that it wasn't that big of an issue, but Arjean knew it was an issue when people thought she was mean or emotionless because of it.

When Joseph asked if he could tag along Arjean went silent for a bit, wondering what it meant to tag along. After taking a guess based on the rest of what he said, they nodded their head happily. "Yes, please! Where do you wanna go?" Arjean was willing to go anywhere, but they had a few ideas in mind: first was any shop selling any type of food, the second was any toy shop, the third was the place called The Underground they heard their family discussing frequently. "Do you know The Underground?"​

Joseph was sort of happy that he had someone to go around with not instead of just talking to him self as he usually did which was not a health thing to do in Joe's eyes. He dropped the smile and put on his usual dull look that he had on his face, on the inside this made him happy he didn't have to put up with a crooked smile on his face. The possibility of them becoming friends was an ok thought to Joseph, he needed more of them anyways and Joe though they were pretty cute despite not knowing what they were.​

"Uhh i was looking for more places buy blood from........ but we don't need to look for those if your not comfy being around blood, we could always just walk around and just brows places....." he said waving his hand in a circle motion, Joe didn't want to freak them out at all."No i'm quite new to this island i only got here a week ago....... and have no idea what the underground is. It sounds really interesting though please tell me more about it....." he said as he took out his notebook and pencil.​

Arjean noticed that he finally stopped with the obviously fake expressions, and found his apathetic look more comforting than his fake look. Nevertheless, he seemed to like them, which made them smile brightly and sway their tail. They were making friends so easily, and now they had one who was a big kid. Junchi would be jealous.

"I like blood," they stated as they went back to swinging their bag back and forth. They wondered why he was buying blood, but their maman used to talk about vampires sometimes. Apparently they were people who drank blood as food. Joseph was probably a vampire then, but some oricenta liked the taste of blood, and there seemed to be other species like that too. Arjean wasn't a fan of the taste because of the metallic taste, and metal wasn't food to eat from their understanding.

Arjean liked how they've been on the island longer than Joseph though. That meant they were the more experienced and smarter one when it came to the island. "I dunno much about it," they replied. "My family never tell, but they go there. I wanna see it." They giggled thinking about how fun it would be to see a place like that. If their family visited it so much then there had to be important stuff there. Arjean could help their family out if they knew more about what they were doing, but their family seemed to really want to not tell what The Underground was about. Maybe it wasn't the best idea to go without their family's knowledge, but the idea was hard to resist. As long as they had someone older than them and responsible then maybe it would be okay.​

Joseph looked at them funny for a moment, he had never seen someone so innocent looking say that they liked blood so casually and he thought this was quite funny and he was glad he could also try to find what he was looking for with his new companion.".....Well that solves that i guess, as long as you don't mind we could stop by a few........ that is if we can find any around here. Im clueless right now as to even what they look like......" he said and thought about what such a store could look like."If you know any don't be shy to share......." he added.

He though about what the underground could be and based off of what little Arjean was telling him it was probably some place with things not suitable for little kids. Maybe they sold weapons and other goods, maybe it was some kind of club for adults, Joe's mind wandered for a moment."Its probably something cool and not for kids, maybe like some kinda weapons dealer place...." he said sharing his thoughts. Then he remembered who he was talking to and maybe should have not been so encouraging to someone so much younger then him self."But you should probably wait until your parents let you go. You might get hurt if you go alone or maybe worse".​
