"I'm hungry.""Eh?"Frudie looked at her long time partner, a perplexed look on her face. The long-suffering fairy had long grown used to her partners habits and her general demeanor towards living, but every now and then, the magical girl managed to surprise her. Right now was no different - though, to be fair, surprise was not as accurate a word as, say, incredulous, to describe what she was feeling now.
Bringing up food in the middle of a fight wasn't something she usually did, after all.
The large Negari - a monstrous creature that looked like a frankensteinian mix between a chicken and a pig, and about the size of a truck - loomed over them, baring its claws threateningly. Golden Flower idly wondered just what kind of negative feelings produced a monster like this. Someone must have
really hated the thought of bacon and eggs for lunch. And she was thinking about food again.
"I'm hungry," she repeated, right before ducking under the Negari's attempts to claw her face out.
"C-can we discuss this later?!" Yuri didn't usually act like this during a fight! Usually she was so obsessed with taking out with her opponent that she completely forgot where she was. Now though, she seemed almost bored! Not to mention that claw swiped was a little too close for Frudie's comfort!
Golden Flower, for her part, just stared dispassionately at her foe. It was big, yeah, ugly too, but it wasn't a
challenge. She could already tell as much. It's strikes were deadly, and she was sure that the thing could hurt her if those claws reached, but the problem was that it was just so
slow, probably being the slowest Negari she'd ever faced. There was just no challenge at all.
As such, discussing food was more interesting, never mind the scared civilians fleeing the scene.
"I think I'll go for Italian. Don't feel like cookin' today, and I heard there's a cheap little restaurant not too far from here.""Okay, we can go discuss food later just- WATCH OUT!"The little fairy nearly had a heart-attack as the Negari rushed towards her partner, all the while clucking like a demented chicken from hell. Frudie made a mental note to get the sound out of her head with some music later, preferably something loud and obnoxious that would get stuck in her head for days.
The giant chicken-pig-thing opened its mouth wide, and a long, thick tongue shot out and wrapped around Golden Flower, quickly pulling the magical girl towards its gaping maw. Frudie would have screamed if her voice didn't get stuck in her throat.
Golden Flower looked at her seemingly impending doom with a mix of boredom and disgust. Right as she was in front of the Negari's mouth, a golden flame enveloped her body, quickly pushing the beasts tongue away from her and leaving her free to swing her fists at its enormous head. The resounding crack echoed like a thunderbolt as the sound barrier gave way to her blow, and the Negari's head caved into its body, even as its body sunk into the ground from the sheer force of the magical girls blow.
She didn't let up however, and followed the blow with another, stronger one, causing the Negari to practically explode from the inside and shaking the earth beneath it. Kicking the air with enough force to crack at the sound barrier, she put some distance between herself and the dissipating body of the creature, flipping in the air once before landing next to Frudie.
"So, yeah, I heard that it's a pretty cheap place from a classmate. Might be worth checking into," she said, continuing their conversation as though she hadn't just pummeled the physical manifestation of negative emotions to death with her bare hands.
"Y-yeah . . ." Frudie had well and truly given up on making sense of this girl.
Golden Flower grinned.
"A'ight then, it's settled. Hang on Die." The little fairy latched on to her partners arm and closed her eyes, expecting what was going to happen next. The magical girl crouched low, before kicking at the ground beneath her and shooting into the air like a golden missile. Having a general sense of where she was supposed to go, she twisted a bit in midair, laughing gleefully at the feeling of the wind on her face, even as the pair descended. It was her favorite method of travel, as far as being a magical girl went - she loved the feeling of being able to push herself into the sky, of being closer to the clouds than anyone else. It was also just plain
fun.
It was times like this that Frudie felt that Yuri was more innocent than she liked to pretend. She was a girl that was rough around the edges, to be sure, but when she laughed like this as she took in the pleasure of an act as simple as descending from the sky, it made it hard for her to think about Yuri's violent side.
The pair landed on top of a nearby building, which was low enough that it caught the attention of passerby walking down below. Golden Flower didn't care much for their stares, however, and simply looked around for her objective. Her face broke into a smile as she once more leaped into the air, though at a much lower altitude, and landed onto the sidewalk below, and in front of an Italian/Japanese restaurant, "
Saizeriya".
She took one look at it before thrusting the doors open and walking inside, complete with her magical girl ensemble.
"W-wait! You're just going to walk in like this?!" hissed Frudie quietly next to her ear. Her magical girl garb while not as intricate as those of her peers, was nonetheless
eye-catching for entirely different reasons, reasons like her completely and shamelessly exposed front. The Golden Flower looked at her questioningly, as though she couldn't comprehend her question.
"Why not? Ain't no law that says a magical girl can't eat yeah?" she retorted, before walking over and plopping down on a nearby seat with as much grace as she entered - which is to say, not much.
"Relax Frudie, we're just gonna have quick bite n' head home. So yeah, I'll take a chicken risotto and pasta with pancetta, with pumpkin soup on the side, and a bottomless ice-tea. What about you?"She remained oblivious to the stares of the clientele inside the restaurant, who were no doubt unused to the sight of a magical girl so casually entering a diner and ordering a meal.
"Y-you-! I, ugh," the fairy muttered something strangely like 'I give up', before sighing and peeking at the menu in her friends hands.
"chicken risotto and pasta with panacetta? Really?" She said, giving her partner a dry stare.
"I have a wicked sense of humor, bite me," she shrugged. Shaking her head, Frudie returned to the menu.
"Just get me spaghetti carbonara. And a gelato!" The fairy seemed to perk up at the thought of the frozen treat, something which her partner grinned at slightly. Frudie liked to act all high-strung and whiny, but she changed her tune fast at the mention of sweets.
