"No, no, no. I spent most of the afternoon wandering around by myself and I just want to sit in the tub and soak. Please, Miratta. You owe me at least this much after all I've done for you." "He" squirmed a little in the backpack, causing Miratta to readjust it again.
"Yeah, yeah. I know, I owe you my legs for as long as we both live, right? Just because you took care of me as a kid..." Miratta responded with a sigh, looking at the kiosk longingly as they passed it and continued onward to their hotel. "Alright, but you better let me take a bath first this time. I feel all sweaty and gross, okay?"
"This is an acceptable compromise. Oh, and remember to go to sleep early tonight. You have to work an early shift tomorrow."
"Yes, mom," Miratta teased, adjusting the backpack again. Taro huffed a little in response, but Miratta could hear a concealed smile.

Miratta threw off the backpack straps and frantically rolled over to check on Taro. "Oh, no! Are you okay, did I hurt you?" she cried out in distress. She glanced around and tried to find the person who had bumped her, calling out, "Hey, jerk, watch where you're going!" Taro, on the other hand, pulled himself out of the backpack and began checking himself for injuries, mumbling angrily to himself the whole time.

"I am so very sorry." Lorn quickly stuttered as he reached for some of his papers that survived the fall. He brought his gaze towards the two and nodded to them only to reach for another paper or two. "I was in a hurry and I was not paying any heed for those around me."

"Don't be rude, Mira," Taro scolded softly. The little mushroom was bruised up quite a bit, but he didn't seem shaken by it. "Let's just go on to the hotel, forget about this mess." Taro stood up and brushed himself off a little before grabbing the backpack and pulling on Miratta's sleeve.
"He could hurt someone, I'm not being rude! He needed a wake up call..." she mumbled back, not being as careful about him hearing her comments.

"Let's go, let's go, Mira. It's not our trouble anymore." He was already lounging again, eyes closed. "And go slowly, my body aches."
Mira shuffled a little, staring at the man for a few more seconds. "Besides, it looks like you hurt yourself, too...So, yeah..."

"Something important to him, but not to us. Let's just get back, Miratta. I want to soak more than ever," Taro replied with a soft sigh.
"Yeah, yeah. But remember, you promised I could have a bath first!"

Given that his father was a known Manasphere demon worshiper, the Union could never be too sure the son wouldn't take up the same legacy. They watched, stone-faced as he collided with the siqari woman and her matango companion. They exchanged apologies, numerous times, and went about their own businesses.
As Lorn made his way down the road, the Phantoms followed, invisible to all those wandering the streets...

He stepped into out of the alley and looked around again, now that he could see what was around him. Hotels and some cafe shops lined the streets. 'At least I have a place to stay and eat.' He thought. Soon he heard commotion near him and looked in the direction of two people bumping into each other, both falling to the ground. As he started towards them to help, one was already getting up and the other hand already gathered most of his things, so he stayed back a bit and watched.

"Aye." Urgonoff blurted, adjusting his heavy pauldron.
Looking down the road, he saw many races he did not see back in his homeworld. Perhaps his world, instead of all the other dimensions he had visited was more obscure than the rest?
" 'umans. Eh. I see e'm ev'ry w'ere. Per'aps d' creat'r race musta look like e'm. Eh.' He thought.
"I's place ain't look so good. Perhaps oi shud head su'm where elz. "
He walked down the street halfheartedly, curious of what would be outside.
