Arical Solace
Wear something nice from my closet, we're going somewhere
Anthony Quinn
Y-You're sending me back to the auction house?

Arical Solace
What Auction house? We're going somewhere to have fun
Anthony Quinn
**getting flashbacks** F-Fun?
Anthony Quinn

Arical Solace
**wipes his tears** Hey, it's nothing like that, we're just going out to have some 'fun'
Arical Solace
**pats his head** Now go get ready
Anthony Quinn

About a whole 10 minutes later
Anthony Quinn
I'm sorry I took such a long time
Arical Solace

Arical Solace
**laughs** Other than me
Arical Solace
You like sweets?
Arical Solace

Anthony Quinn
**sweetly smiles** I do!
Arical Solace
**eating a small muffin**
Anthony Quinn
**eating a piece of cake** Arical
Anthony Quinn
Why are you nice?
Anthony Quinn
I'm just a lowly creature, I don't deserve your kindness
Arical Solace
What are you talking about? What that man has said to you does not matter any more
Arical Solace
I'm your friend now, I'll care for you now
Arical Solace
I'll protect you, okay?
Anthony Quinn
**nods** Okay
Arical Solace
**pays and takes his hand** Let's go
Anthony Quinn
Are we going home?
Arical Solace
No, one more place
Anthony Quinn
Why are we here?
Arical Solace
To help you get some clothes
Anthony Quinn
Clothes? Do you not want me to wear yours?
Arical Solace
No, it's just, you should have your own
Arical Solace
**extends his hand** Now, shall we?
Anthony Quinn
**takes his hand** Yes
Worker
Mr. Solace? What a pleasant surprise
Arical Solace
Thank you, Miss
Worker
Mr. Grant does not seem to be with you today
Arical Solace
No, I'm with my.............boyfriend
Worker
Oh! Let me show you something
Anthony Quinn
**in his ear** What's that?
Arical Solace
Don't worry, I'll tell you later
Arical Solace
Now, follow the lady
Arical was sitting on the small bench, while Anthony was trying on clothes
Anthony Quinn
Is this good?
Arical Solace
Yes, you look good
Anthony Quinn
So, can you help me choose?
Arical Solace
Choose what? You tried on only a few, you looked good in those, so we're buying them all
Anthony Quinn
All of them?
Arical Solace
**pats his head as he whispers** Don't worry about the money
Arical Solace
I'm a rich man, if I do say so myself
Anthony Quinn
I need to go to the restroom
Arical Solace
I'll take you
Arical Solace
**waiting for him**
Adriel Cyrus Grant
Arical?
Adriel Cyrus Grant
What are you doing here?
Arical Solace
Shouldn't I be asking that?
Adriel Cyrus Grant
Brother left alone
Anthony Quinn
**came back** Let's go, now
Arical Solace
**turns to him** Anthony
Anthony Quinn
**holds his hand** Who is this?
Arical Solace
He's my Boss, erm, my employer
Adriel Cyrus Grant
Who is this?
Arical Solace
He's my friend
Adriel Cyrus Grant
**holds his shoulders** You live with someone?
Arical Solace
I'm not interested, so please
Arical Solace
Let's go, Love
Adriel Cyrus Grant
Love? Are y-
Arical takes Anthony's hand and leaves
Anthony Quinn
Are you angry? Did I do something bad?
Anthony Quinn
I did something wrong, right? I shou-
Arical Solace
You didn't do anything
Arical Solace
It's my boss
Arical Solace
No, it's just, he's.........an Angel
Anthony Quinn
**shocked** D-Does he know?
Arical Solace
No, he doesn't, also
Arical Solace
Don't worry, it's nothing
Arical Solace
So, did you like today?
Anthony Quinn
**nods** Yes!
Arical Solace
**smiles** I'm happy to know that
Anthony Quinn
Arical, what's a boyfriend?
Arical Solace
That, a person who's special to you, and you love them, care for them, want to protect them
Anthony Quinn
Am I special to you?
Arical Solace
Yes, but not like that
Arical Solace
A boyfriend is different from a friend
Anthony Quinn
But, I want to be your boyfriend!
Arical Solace
**laughs** We can't, you should be with someone who makes your heart flutter with happiness and excitement
Arical Solace
I'm not that person, Love
Anthony Quinn
Where can I find one?
Arical Solace
Find? Well, that's a different story
Arical Solace
Anyway, I'll be going to work from tomorrow
Arical Solace
So, I'll return a bit late nowadays
Arical Solace
I'll give you the address, so you can come to me if-
Anthony Quinn
Please don't leave me
Arical Solace
Don't worry, also
Arical Solace
Do you want to have ice cream?
Anthony Quinn
**nods** Yes
Arical Solace

Adriel Cyrus Grant
**sitting on the chair pondering**
Adriel Cyrus Grant
**gets up** You're back?
