"Uh..." Leon gasped, reaching out with his right hand at Alan. He opened his palm upwards and tightly balled his hand into a fist. Nothing happened. At first. A groan could be heard that echoed through the street, like that of a building falling in on itself or something experiencing tremendous pressure. Then in a sudden boom of noise, in a ring around Alan, the metal street rose up, sealing him in a dome. The dome had sealed moments before the waiter made his arrival, the blades at his wrists slamming against the barrier of metal protecting (and trapping) Alan. "Kelner, uansett hva han gjorde, bare legge til min regning!" Leon quickly said to the waiter, waving a hand to grab his attention. The waiter looked upward sharply, his metallic fangs retracting, the blades following suit. His demeanor quickly shifted back to the friendly man he was minutes early. "Oh ... Veldig godt, ha en fin kveld!" The man said, turning on his heels and walking back to the stall, a whistle coming from his lips."You idiot." Leon growled at the dome, knowing full well it was probably too thick for Alan to hear him, "I just saved your ass from becoming the next fucking side dish!" Leon walked toward the dome and put his hand against it, pausing for a moment and then giving it a knock. It was thick, but not thick enough that bug boy couldn't hear them. He looked back at the other three, "Bug boy tried to skip out on paying the bill, now it's been added to my tab. Oh, and the waiter wishes us a pleasant night. There, now we're all caught up on that..." He glanced at the dome behind him, "Now then... I could lower the barrier and let him out or we could let him chew his way out." Leon started walking away, shoving his other hand into his pocket, "I saw a place on the way here, looked like the entrance to an underground park. Might be worth checking out." He stopped and turned around, facing the ground. If they wanted him to let Alan out now, much to his disliking he'd do so.
Stuck inside the small metal dome that made Alan happy claustrophobia wasn't one of his many fears, Alan couldn't help but smile. According to the profanity filled words he could just barely hear, dome boy didn't know about his protective exoskeleton. The worst the blade waiter would've done would be a few scratches, maybe a small gash at most. And now, Alan could sit back in the calming darkness and relax, maybe eat some of his stolen food. Taking a swig of his beer, he heard a slight whirring sound as he nibbled on his rakfisk, almost like a drill. There was a pause, and then it came back, this time faster and more intense. Eventually it broke through the barrier, just in time to bring with it both the stench of vanilla and a view of a roaring fire.
"Holy shit!" He yelled, jumping back as much as was possible in such a small enclosed area, hitting his head on the top of the dome in the process. After the fire died quickly died down, he heard a small question from an unfortunately familiar voice.
"Your name?" it asked, taunting Alan with the fact that he was in it's owners control. Alan closed his eyes. He would have to act friendly, but he needed to remember that she would betray him in a second if he actually gained any feelings of friendship or, god forbid,
love for this vanilla demon.
"Well, Aeria, my name's Alan, and it seems we've gotten off on the wrong foot. I'm sorry, I was just really tired on the train, and I get a little bit weird when I'm tired. Please, if you were to let me out of here, I would love to hang out and get to know you better." Alan said, in the most sincere voice he could.
