[PP-F1] Mistakes R Made (Jomei)

"Ah, n-no I was not tr-"

"I've heard enough. Just 'fess up, the guards will be here soon anyways."

Remi's face was tomato red and her hands were waving around frantically in the air. It didn't matter to the stall owner that she was blabbering in futile attempts to get him to believe her, his mind was set. He thought she tried to steal from him. The blonde didn't even know if that was possible or existed in the game but he was thoroughly convinced that she was trying to pull one over on him. Just another reason for her to be all the more cynical. He had a tight grip on her wrist and since Remi wasn't angry, but more like embarrassed and afraid, she didn't do anything to stop the stall owner from touching her in such a rude manner. The scene must be normal to other people because the players who saw just walked away without a care. Poor Remi was stuck in an incident she didn't even mean to start.

"Are you sure it was down here?" 

The tall, ginger haired player spoke to the small owl on his shoulder. Its head was spinning back and forth, looking at every different shop, kiosk, and cart that they had passed. Apparently, Adere, the owl familiar that rested on the man's shoulder, was craving a certain type of meat that Jomei had once fed her before.. If Jomei could even remember what it was or where he found it. He did not even know familiars could be so picky with their foods like this.. all the more realism for SAO he supposed. He let out a heavy sigh as he came to a stop, "If only you knew how to speak English.. then maybe we would get somewhe- huh?" Jomei's sentence was cut off by the sound of a man yelling at someone, which seemed like a younger girl. He looked around until he saw a larger man, one of the shop keeps, holding a blonde haired girl by the wrist. Of course, the girl did not look like she did not want to be held like that, and the man looked angry at something. Despite whether the man was in the right or wrong, it irked him the way he was treating her. With a stern expression on his face, he stormed over to where the small encounter was. 

Standing between the two now, but before he was noticed, he brought his arm up above his head and activated a small portion of his <Martial Arts> skill. He then brought his arm back down with a chop to release the man's grasp on the girl's wrist. The man then placed his other hand forward towards the shop owner, creating a small barrier between him and the girl, "You know, its not polite to hold a lady like that if she doesn't want to be. What the hell is your problem?" His olive green eyes glared at the man, his brows furrowed. He eyed the girl over his shoulder, "Are you alright, lass?"

Honestly, Remi just thought that the tall ginger was just approaching the scene to get a better view. Probably to mock her, or further provoke the man who continued to yank on her arm in an indecent manner. But he didn't do what she thought he would at all. He saved her. Well, that might have been an understatement because the stall owner was short, chubby, and most likely not as strong as she made him out to be, but she just couldn't stand up to people as well as the ginger had. It took her a second to process what was happening, she'd stumbled back and stood there wide eyed, skin red as ever.

"Just get outta here!" The old man waved his hands while sneering at the two though it was obvious he wouldn't put up a fight any longer. Especially with someone much stronger hanging around. 

Remi grabbed one arm of the stranger who was notably taller than her. She breathed a silent sigh of relief at the thought. Finally she encountered someone of her size in the game. "U-Um we should uh go and l-leave, c'mon." She tugged and nodded her head in the opposite direction. All she wanted was to get away from where she'd been stuck or who knows how long. "R-Really I-I mean..." Remi shut her mouth before she said anything dumb, but kept her arms clinging to the ginger.

Jomei raised one of his eyebrows and gave the man a nod, his lip curving into a smirk. "Good answer," he said before turning his back to the man and over to the girl whom he seemed to be harassing. The blonde haired girl almost immediately latched onto Jomei, wrapping her arms around one of his. Jomei looked slightly down at her, being she was almost as tall as he was. Her voice sounded slightly timid, a possible reaction from the experience she was just in. Jomei smiled softly and nodded, "Yeah. Let's go." Jomei said with a soft smile, letting the girl lead him away from the shop keep. Jomei looked back over his shoulder in the direction they came from, where the man still was. Jomei's voice lowered and became a bit more defensive, "He didn't hurt you or anything did he?"
