The boy was down in the dumps. He was really sad. Why was he sad? Well the flame demon's best friend had left him when he had a major argument with his father. He didn't know what they argued about or why. He thought that his friend would come home after some hours but now it's been a while. Plus his friend had called him, telling him that he wasn't coming back. That made the flame demon get down in the dumps. His friend was well... his friend. He was his best friend so to lose him like this made him feel sad.
It wasn't something he wanted to tell though since he thought it was actually stupid to be sad and sulk like this. He sighed once again. He tried to distract himself in every possible ways but all the ways that made him happy were also things he and Aduachi did often with each other, making the flame demon feel even worse in all honesty.
No! he refused to be sad like this! He decided to head out. The demon sat up quickly from the table as he got a sudden strict and serious look inside his very feminie eyes. He was not going to let himself be sad over this anymore! It's not like he would lose his friend anyways so why was this such a huge deal!? He grabbed his jacket and put on his shoes as he headed out, determined to feel at least a little better from all of this.
He walked and walked and entered the familiar town. As he walked through the town he tried to find something that caught his eyes that he could do. After an half an hour or so he found a very small but cozy bar. He decided to enter the bar which was surpringly not that much people in. Well, he didn't really mind it that much in all honesty. He wasn't in the mood to talk right now.
After some time he saw a bartender walk up to him with a bright smile on their face. "Hello mr! Welcome and what do you want to get?" they asked. They gave him a menu which he looked over for some seconds only until he decided what he wanted. The bartender smiled once again at him. "Okay then! It'll come right up!" they said happily as they walked away.
The brown haired demon eyed them as they walked away, kind of surprised of their happy attitude. Most of the people he was around right now was angry most of the time. If you don't count Poemi. After some time he saw the H/C haired bartender come with his order, placing it in front of him. "here you go! You can pay when you are done, okay?" they said. He only nodded as he took a sip from the drink which he found very good.
The bartender stood there for some time which made the demon look up at them. The bartender jumped up by this, making a nervous look appear on their face. "A-Ah, I-I'm sorry if you wanted to be alone! it's just you seemed to be a little bit down" they said with concerin in their voice. "Huh? How did you see that?" he asked. "W-Well, i meet a lot of people that seem sad" you said. "S-So, do you want to talk about it?" they asked carefully and queitly. "Why?" he asked, making the bartender feel even more nervous by this sitution. "I-It just feels like you seem really down s-so i just want to help" they said, making Emalf feel slight surprise inside him. "Nah, i don't really need to talk about it" he said casually, trying to calm down them down.
"R-Really?" you asked and he nodded. "It's no big deal" he said, making the female/male/them tilt their head at him. "it seems like it though" they said. the red head, narrowed his eyes slightly to the side even if the curious bartender didn't see it. "I just had a friend that moved away" he simply said. "I'm sorry to hear that" they spoke. The flame demon shrugged his shoulders. "Nah, no need to feel sorry about that" he said. "But you seem pretty down about it" they said. "It's okay to feel sad about a friend going away, i mean you are used to see them nearly every day and suddenly they are gone! So i understand that it must be sad and it's okay to feel sad about it" the bartender said with a smile.
Emalf looked up at them with slightly widen eyes but after some seconds he felt a slight wave of peace form inside of him. "I guess..." he only said. "But you really shouldn't come here and drown that sadness with drinking, that's not healthy" they said, making the demon grin. "Sorry to break it to you but you aren't going to scold me" he said. "I'm not scolding you, i'm just warning you" they said. "You don't want to be the type of people that walk out of here and spend the night out in the woods since they can't even get to their house, now do you?" the bartender asked.
"You say that to every person that walks in here?" he asked and to that they nodded. "Pretty much, it's not healthy" they said. He laughed by this actually. To think that there was people in the world that did that was beyond him. "Laugh at me if ya want, i'm not the one who obviously
is trying to hide their very obvious femine eyes" that made the demon stop laughing and he shot up from the seat. "W-What did you f-ing say?" he asked. The bartender smiled at him. "I said the truth" they said as they put their hand on his shoulder as they also put something in his hand. "let's stay in touch fem eyes" they said. "I have to work again" they ended as they walked away, making Emalf look down onto the small piece of paper only to see a number and'gimme a call anytime you want fem eyes ;3'
