"Take me to the Candy Shop"

"I want something Sweet like Sugar".
-----------------------------------
Just another day in Yume, waking up and getting dressed. Expected to go to lunches and parties planned for the day, it was annoying and exhausting this is why she always snuck away from the palace. So who was this girl you might ask, it was none other than the princess of the land of dreams. Aria was the type of girl who didn't like the boring parties her father and the other nobles held, she was often known to have her mother's spirit in her. To be free and not caged like a bird, her father does worry about her. Afraid the king of nightmares will kidnap her and use her as leverage in the war going on between their lands, oh if only he knew that she was in love with the prince of nightmares.
With a pouch full of coins by her side, and the hood of her cloak hiding her face she left the palace and slipped out a secret way. Blending into the many other faces which walk the streets, a small smile spreading across her lips. This was something she enjoyed each day, coming out among her people and just being.......somebody. Each day she saw something different going on, thieves taking advantage of those who are poor and can't fend for themselves. Mages and students learning how to cast spells, and putting on shows. Those who own shops sometimes giving samples of their delicious food, it really did make her heart fill with joy and happiness.
As she came upon the sweet shop, Aria stopped for a minute and looked to see if there was anything new in the window. Her blue eyes scanned over each item carefully, each time licking her lips with delight with every sweet morsel she looked over. Her eyes soon came to a halt on a few creame puffs with what looked like strawberry whipped filling, those hadn't been there a couple of days ago. With her mind made up she walked over to the door and pulled it open, going inside and up to the counter. "Good day, I wish to aquire about the new pastries in the window. If you would be so kind as to give me a dozen, please". The girl nodded, and went to get the pastries putting them in a box.
She tied it with a ribbon, then handed it to her asking for five gold coins. Aria took the pouch off her side, and opened it taking out the coins and placing them on the counter. With a thank you, she went over to one of the tables inside the sweet shop and sat down. Setting the box down, and pulling her hood back. Letting her golden hair fall over her shoulders, she than gently untied the ribbon on the box and folded it neatly before opening the box and taking out one of the puffs. "Time to dig in". [/size] |

Tane took another swig of his sake, running low again, and she saw some sort of shop ahead. He took another large swig and decided that might be a good place to go to get a refuel really quick. He entered the candy shop, where a young girl was sitting at the table, eating what looked like a box of sweets all by her self. He shook his head and though of the audacity of someone, eating all those by themselves when there were starving children...well...maybe there wasn't. Tane shook his head none the less, which turned out to be a bad idea. The action caused him to stumble, and a simple stumble for this man meant only one thing. Laying on the floor.
He tripped and crashed to the floor, unharmed, but still on the floor. He moaned as he laid there, not at the thought of falling, but instead because he knew he would have to get up. The lady behind the counter asked if he was okay, to which he waved her off. Better that she just shut up while he decided what to do. Sleep sounded like a good idea and within moments he was snoring.

"I want something Sweet like Sugar".
-----------------------------------
As soon as she finished one sweet treat, Aria was right on to the next. She could always expect the best from this sweet shop whenever she visited, and though she may hide her face most people always recognized her as the princess. Even so they were kind and always greeted her with warm comments, this was what the land of Yume was all about......kind of.You had the occassional trouble makers, but it was mostly petty thievery or causing some uproar about something. Finishing the second creme puff, she watched someone pass by the window then come into the shop drunk as a skunk. He seemed to look over at her for a minute, not even noticing she was the princess or didn't bother to take it in since he was intoxicated. Aria decided to save the rest of the sweets, tying up the box with the ribbon. Maybe she would give the rest to some children, there was always those in need of food.
As she set her box aside, her blue eyes continued to watch them man. Why in Yume would he stumble into the sweet shop drunk, perhaps she should alert the royal guard to take him to the dungeons till she sobers up. No sooner had she thought that did he drop on the floor, sighing lightly she pushed her chair back and stood up. This wouldn't be good for the poor girl's buisness, this shop was meant as a place where people could come to get sweet things to enjoy. Not to see a drunk man laying in the middle of the floor. Hearing the girl ask if he was alright, he just waved her off. Rolling her eyes she put her hands on her hips, just how rude can you get. "Sir I am going to have to ask you to leave, perhaps a bar would be a better suited place for you".
Of course she didn't get a answer back, for the sound that filled the shop was of his snoring. Oh disgusting, drunk and snoring. The girl that had been behind the counter went to the back of the shop, and soon came out with two bakers. They just looked at the man on the floor unsure of what to do wit him, there wasn't really any guards on patrol right now so they couldn't go out of the shop and shout for aid. So for now they told the girl they couldn't do anything, and went back to their duties in the back.
Oh how rude can they get, the poor girl was just asking for help. Aria sighed lightly and simply shook her head, maybe she could help out but how. After all she was just a princess, very lightly she nudged the passed out man with her foot hoping to at least get him to stop his snoring. [/size] |

The nudge didn't stop the snoring, but it did change its location. Tane's body reacts to the slightest of provocation before his mind even knows whats going on. Thats what happened here. As soon as her foot touched him, he jumped up, still snoring, and observed her. His instincts decided that she wasn't a threat, but knew that if she touched him, it would be annoying, so he moved over exactly two feet and fell again, seemingly undisturbed by anything.
Tane's ability to sleep anywhere is legendary, because of the fact that he's a drunkard, he just doesn't care. The cold floor had no effect on him what so ever, but his stomach growling did make him stir. It was an annoying inconvenience, having to eat real food instead of just drinking. Damn the lack of nutrition in alcohol.

Okay so the nudge didn't work on this guy, and he was still snoring. But what happened next kind of surprised her and the girl behind the counter, jumping back abit her eyes widened as the drunk seemed to stand up. Except he was still snoring, and seemed to observe her. But wasn't his eyes closed, of all that people she has ever met in her kingdom. Never has she met someone quite like this, though it still baffled her as to why he would pick this store out of all the places in Yume. Not deciding to question that, her eyes never left the man as she watched him stumble in his drunken state. Then just two feet away from her, he fell again onto the floor. "Oh now this is getting silly".
The girl behind the counter nodded in agreement, if other customers decided to come in it could be bad for buisness. Aria put her hands on her hips and again approached the snoring drunk, enough was enough and she wanted to at least get him up or somehow get him outside. "Sir by order of the princess of Yume, I command you to get up this instant". No one could refuse the order of royalty, it would be stupid and there could be consequences on this man's part if he didn't listen to her.
As she went to nudge him again, Aria heard the familiar grumble that was his stomache. Frowning lightly and getting slightly annoyed, she once again tapped him with her foot. Lightly, did all this man do was drink. Didn't he at all eat, glancing over to her box she had left on the table she had a idea. Going over and lightly picking it up, she brought it over to where the man was and untied the ribbon. Opening the box and letting the sweet sickly smell of the creme puffs flow out, if this didn't wake him up then she was at a loss of what to do. [/size] |

Tane's nose wrinkled at the smell of the cream puffs, making him moan and roll across the floor, trying to get away from the smell. He had never been a sweets person and had always just preferred more solid food. If he had the choice between a entrée and a dessert, no matter how good, the entrée always won. Though something did happen at the sound of his Princess's command. He did get up, though he continued to snore while standing at a very loose form of attention, even for a brief second throwing a sloppy salute. His former life as one of the royal guard was still very strong in his instincts.
