Day 49: Late Afternoon - Lil' Tyke Toys
Scott had barely gotten a few feet out the door of Tasty Burger when the nurses started blaring their megaphones and shuffling people back indoors. He was definitely getting just a little tired of this, not least due to the dazed and confused mood he had been in since breakfast. Would he get any chance to just walk down a street in a straight line again today? What if he liked the rain, huh? Did the nurses think about that? ...Okay, he didn't like the rain, but that was beside the point. The point was that seeing more of the town was turning into pretty much a non-option.
He was caught by a nurse in front of the door to a local toy shop, and before he could get out so much as a protesting yelp, he was hurried inside with a strong, encouraging shove. Great, thought Scott, reluctantly peeling off his coat again as he wandered down one of the back aisles and resigned himself to staying. What am I gonna do in here? It's a toy store in Outer Bumblesticks. What are they going to have to keep my mind off things? Dolls? Tin soldiers? Teddy bears? This is gonna su— "HEY is that Godzilla?"
Sure enough, it was. Or rather, it was a large Godzilla action figure sitting on a shelf just ahead of him. The toy was wired into the box good and tight, but the front was open to allow kids to test out the toy's arms and sound before buying. Drawn inexorably to the blinding red "TRY ME!" written on it, Scott pulled the box down and pressed the button on the back of Godzilla's head.
"AAEEEEEAAAAARRRR."
The roar was small and tinny, but it made Scott grin a little.
"Heheh."
"AAEEEEEAAAAARRRR."
"Heheheheh."
"AAEEEEEAAAAARRRR."
"Hee. Oh Godzilla, you wouldn't leave me, would you?"
"AAEEEEEAAAAARRRR."

"What a surprise to see you here, Junpei-san," Aigis said. The awkward touch flew completely over her head, just as any come on would. Innocently, she looked to Asuka, continuing on as if nothing was amiss. "Are you an acquaintance of Junpei-san's?"
Seeing Junpei with another girl brought thoughts of Evangeline, but Aigis was not one to jump to conclusions. Junpei was not acting as though something was amiss. If his smile was any indication, he got along better with this girl than the young mage. Still, Aigis felt a little anxiety. Junpei had made her promise, so she couldn't say anything while Minato was here. If she got a moment alone with him, she would ask him if he was still having trouble.
