[atrb=background,http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/lilDiablo_/alvaromid2.jpg] [scrolly:h(196),w(410),sy]Alvaro had chewed the inside of his mouth rather hard as the 'hero' had talked, and for a brief moment, something had worked its way into him. However, he'd leave it be and not dwell on it if he could. Upon finally coming to a place to eat, Alvaro half smiled and looked sideways only to freeze as he caught a tear coming down the side of Kero's face. The green haired man was quiet for a short moment before finally taking hold of the dark haired man's hand and breathing inwards. "Right," he answered back gently before entering. "Your... not ok... are you, Kero?" Alvaro asked. He probably wouldn't have asked others, yet still....it was Kero....heh.... [/scrolly]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] “No, I’m ok,” Kero lied as he looked around for a table, “I just got something in my eye.” Truth was, he couldn’t understand how his hard work was so under appreciated by so many people. First those kids, and then the super hero. He was trying his best to help fix Era so it would be a safer and more enjoyable place to live. Yet no matter what he did he just seemed to be shot down and told he wasn’t doing enough or he wasn’t doing it right. He wasn’t physically strong but he thought the posters would be helpful… he… just couldn’t figure it out. But none of that was something Alvaro needed to worry about. It wasn’t Alvaro’s burden it was his own. “Maybe they will have some foods here we’ve never tried before.” Kero claimed as he tried to cheer himself up. He finally found a good table and sat down with a smile. [/scrolly] [bg=brown]

[atrb=background,http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/lilDiablo_/alvaromid2.jpg] [scrolly:h(196),w(410),sy]Alvaro was very aware of the fact that something was wrong, but he didn't want to push Kero and knew better than to try and get in someone else's head when they were trying to get away from something and therefore simply resolved to go along with it. "Maybe," he stated aloud before sitting down on the opposite side of the table and then slowly picking up a menu. "Mmm...." he mused a little to himself. "You know why I never believed in super heros?"

[/b] he asked after a moment.

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] “Because they are a figment of imagination?” Kero asked browsing the menu for a moment before setting it back down. He’d rather get up and gather his food from the buffet. It sounded… well, different. So, he pulled off the gloves he was wearing and set his backpack onto the back of his chair before picking up his plate and waiting for Alvaro. All the while he listened to what Alvaro’s reason for now believing in super heros was. He knew he never believed in them because the only creatures that had magic or super powers were the pokemon. Humans could be hero’s but not super. [/scrolly] [bg=brown]

[atrb=background,http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/lilDiablo_/alvaromid2.jpg] [scrolly:h(196),w(410),sy]Alvaro was quiet as he finally caught sight of exactly what he wanted and then stood up and picked up his plate. "Because people like that are more likely to get others killed than actually help someone..." he answered back sighing a little and shaking his head before finally walking over towards what he had been looking at: the insanely large salad bar. "Those people that think they can change everything just by themselves can only succeed in driving a bus with innocent people off a cliff." he half smiled at his own words but mentally frowned at them. [/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Kero followed Alvaro over to the salad bar, listening to Alvaro’s reasoning along the way. “So then… It hadn’t been wrong of me to put up that warning… right?” He had been doubting himself but hearing the words that came from Alvaro’s mouth was comforting. Kero had thought this ‘super hero’ sounded dangerous and at the time he hadn’t thought twice about putting up the warning but after meeting him… well he actually wasn’t sure if he had been right to put up the sign. Kero shook his head as he picked up some of different types of fruits and salads, setting them on his plate. He was trying not to take too much of each type so he’d have enough room in his belly to try them all. “Do you think the wanted posters will help at all?” [/scrolly] [bg=brown]

[atrb=background,http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/lilDiablo_/alvaromid2.jpg] [scrolly:h(196),w(410),sy]Alvaro continued to stack up the food on his plate as he listened to Kero. "You're doing your job in cleaning up the streets but you're not putting yourself in harms way and instead letting people better trained for that sort of thing to do their job... so no I don't see it as wrong," he answered back. But people like super heroes are rarely even trained to do a certain task and are instead idiots who get themselves killed Alvaro's voice chimed in his own head as the image of a certain group of dead people in the back of his mind... Sigh. [/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Kero let out a heavy sigh at Alvaro’s words as he continued to put food onto his plate before finding some sauces and dips to try. He knew what Alvaro was saying was true. Nathan had told him something similar but he hadn’t wanted to fully believe it. Having it come out of Alvaro’s mouth… well at first seemed to strike home rather hard but then the words that followed it… it was nice to have at least one person understand. He was grateful for that, and for having Alvaro. The man seemed to fill in that hole which had been missing for goodness knows how long. “It’s just hard for some to understand right now” Kero came to the conclusion, feeling a bit better now, “They don’t know these things don’t happen over night and that you must give it time to start seeing results.” Perhaps he could ever start getting together a group of old and new knights to help out. Perhaps another goal of his for when he returned home. These goals seemed to be growing day by day. [/scrolly] [bg=brown]

[atrb=background,http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/lilDiablo_/alvaromid2.jpg] [scrolly:h(196),w(410),sy]Alvaro finished stacking his plate with different fruits and berries and then started to walk back. Looking back towards Kero, he simply half smiled. "People are impatient and easily frustrated creatures," he murmured more to himself than to Kero. This was true.... he'd known it to be true simply from working in a business that dealt with a lot of different types of people all with the same thing in common. "Don't beat yourself so hard over it, Kero.. Things will turn out as they will, and time will go on."

[/b] he smiled a bit before finally coming back to the table again.

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] “Yah you’re right” Kero agreed with a smile as he followed Alvaro back over to their table, “It could be worse. People could just not care at all.” The streets would never get cleaned up then. Life would just be full of crime and fear for the rest of eternity. Kero wasn’t sure if he could accept a fait like that. Even if it were where Era was heading he couldn’t just sit there and let it be. “Hey, this thing is really good.” Kero claimed after taking a bite out of a star shaped fruit. He had no idea what it was but it was sweet tasting and he liked it. He would have to grab more of them next time he got up. [/scrolly] [bg=brown]

[atrb=background,http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/lilDiablo_/alvaromid2.jpg] [scrolly:h(196),w(410),sy]Mmmm now there was a thought... not caring at all. Though he held onto very little, Alvaro found himself slowly understanding that everyone had to care at least in some way, really. After a moment, he took a small bite of a fruit and seemed to think that over. At Kero's comment, the green haired man smiled a little and chuckled a bit to himself before swallowing. "Here try this one,"

[/b] he stated holding the other bit of his fruit out.

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Kero had just shoved something that was green, and mushy into his mouth when Alvaro suggested him to try the one the green haired man just tried. What ever it was he had just ate, Kero decided he didn’t like and so he quickly took the Alvaro’s other half of fruit and popped it into his mouth. The sweat juices instantly filled his mouth ridding him of the nasty taste of what ever he had eaten a moment ago. “Ohhh I wish we had these fruits in the desert.” Kero half complained and half melted at the taste of the food. Compared to the food they were eating now, most of the food they got in the desert tasted rather bland. He then lifted and took a bite out of something that was red and fell in love with it rather quickly as well. Watermelon it was. He had never had it before but it was really, really good! “Try this one!” Kero stated as well, his voice much louder with the excitement that was filling him for trying something new.

[atrb=background,http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/lilDiablo_/alvaromid2.jpg] [scrolly:h(196),w(410),sy]Alvaro took the fruit and took a bit. Sure enough, it was just sweet enough but not overly so and melted in his mouth a bit. "Ah which reminds me of one reason I like traveling," he chuckled to himself after a moment. "Different types of food, heh," Indeed, it wasn't the only reason he traveled, of course, but still it was interesting. There seemed to be plenty of different things to try, and as far as Alvaro could tell, there was quite a bit of culture in Era for something rather small in comparison with the rest of the world. [/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] “Differnet kinds of… Oh hey, you know what I want to try sometime?” Kero asked, the idea suddenly popping into his mind from what Alvaro had said, “Pizza! I’ve never had any before but everyone I know who has says it’s the best!” He then added in the low mumble, “sept for Alfred…” The butler wouldn’t buy any because he claimed it was a very unhealthy food to eat and rather hard to get in the desert. Kero just didn’t think Alfred liked pizza. Kind of the same as ice cream. Alfred just has no taste at all. But now Kero was certain he’d be able to try all the foods he had never been able to try before. Hopefully he didn’t get fat at the same time. [/scrolly] [bg=brown]

[atrb=background,http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/lilDiablo_/alvaromid2.jpg] [scrolly:h(196),w(410),sy]Alvaro blinked a tad surprised. He'd never had pizza? That was practically what he had lived on for a while back when he was actually in college... Then again, he was poor and that had been the cheapest thing, but meh. "You've never had pizza?" he questioned after a moment before shoving another fruit in his mouth. In another moment, his face contorted a little at the sour taste that had come to his mouth. However, he finished and swallowed easy enough. [/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Kero shook his head, swallowing the bit of food he had shoved into his mouth before replying. “Dad always liked the fancy foods and Alfred always claimed it was unhealthy.” Kero explained before shoving another tasty bit of fruit into his mouth. “What about you? What kind of food haven’t you tried yet that you want to?” He was curious now. After all, there had to be something that Alvaro hadn’t tried and wanted to. For Kero, pizza was defiantly the number one. The rest were a few of the different desserts he had heard about before. [/scrolly] [bg=brown]

Indeed, he couldn't think of anything quite off the bat that he hadn't tried, but there was always something new to try no matter where one went. After a few seconds, eh shrugged his shoulders a bit. "I can't think of anything," he admitted with a half smile. "But I'm pretty sure I'll think of something if I hear about it," he chuckled a bit to himself at that thought. "......Tell me you've tried rice cream," he stated after a moment wondering if 'unhealthy' ruled out certain tastes. Of course, he hadn't said ice cream- given the nature of Alvaro's allergies- but rather truly stated rice cream a complex made to taste something equivocal according to those that ate it. [/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Kero blinked when Alvaro mentioned rice cream. For a moment he thought maybe he had heard wrong and man had said ice cream but the longer he thought about it the more he was certain that Alvaro had said rice cream. “Whats… rice cream?” He asked, wondering if it was much like ice cream or something else entirely. Maybe it was something like rice porridge or pudding. Alfred did like to make those. The porridge in the morning for breakfast with some fruits and the pudding as a desert after dinner. It was considered healthier than normal pudding though Kero had both. When it came down to it, if Kero really wanted something Alfred had to make it for him. When it came to the pizza Kero just hasn’t thought of demanding to have it. [/scrolly] [bg=brown]

Turning his head to one side, he finally laughed a little. "It's this tasty slightly gummy stuff frozen like ice cream but made out of rice and vanilla," he answered back all but positively sure that there was more in it than just that. [/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Alvaro’s answer made Kero feel a bit better for comparing it to ice cream. They sounded a lot alike only one had rice and no cream. Well, there were probably other differences too but Kero wasn’t about to go study about them… at least not at that moment. “I’ve had ice cream but I don’t think I’ve ever had rice cream.” Surely he would have known the difference, right? “Does it come in chocolate flavour too?” He couldn’t help but ask. After all, he really liked chocolate and it tasted good in ice cream. Better than vanilla anyway. [/scrolly] [bg=brown]
