[After a day of fruitful shopping, Ib and her parents were at the cafe to get something quick to eat. Her parents had taken the time yesterday to figure out the Wizard's currency system, and all that was left was to order something.

While they were deciding, Ib couldn't help but notice the strange man sitting in the corner with his cup of coffee. Everyone seemed to be giving him mean looks too, but what caught her eye was the tattoo on his arm. It seemed very well-inked, and she couldn't help but stare at it.]

( Poor Antonio was trying to keep to himself, at least a little bit. It was always awkward going around in the streets when people still remembered your face and. Well. A tattoo that would decide to either be solid one day or fading the next. Naturally, it has to be a nuisance while he's shopping.

He's had a lot of eyes on him today, and one more set of eyes usually wouldn't make him look up. But, it didn't feel... awkward, for once. He looks up, a curious look on his face. Upon seeing the young girl, he offers a smile. )

[Ib tentatively returns the smile shyly, before her parents call her name to ask what she wants. Taking a moment to think it over, she places her order and receives a Pumpkin Pastry.

Without hesitation, she walks over to Antonio, trying to ignore the strange glares everyone was giving her. Her parents were a little preoccupied at the counter as they counted out the appropriate number of Sickles, and thus they didn't notice their daughter slip off to pass Antonio her snack.]

Excuse me. Here.

[He looked like he needed something to cheer him up.]
