Welcome of the Show (Re-written)

Too Many New Things, Need Food

"What did you say this place was?"

"A candy store, it's where we buy sweet stuff." Yuma answers annoyed, as the two of them fill their respective bags of sweets, Yuma going for the sweeter stuff and chocolates and Liru the sour stuff and chocolates.

"The owner is really nice and only charges us 20 dollars a bag if it's more than a pound." Liru tells him, Unable to resist grabbing a stuffed animal from one of the shelves. She's never really understood why candy stores tend to have stuffed animals but it's never stopped her from buying them.

"Is that a duel monster?" Astral asks, seeing the stuffed animal she has now tucked into her arm.

"No, it's a stuffed animal. Have you never seen one before?"

"I... Do not know." A part of him almost wants to say yes but how could he possibly know? He does not have any memories other than his name and purpose here.

"Huh." Liru hums, looking up at Astral thoughtfully. She looks back at the stuffed animals for a moment then back up, "Do you want one?"

Astral seems intrigued, Yuma on the other hand...

'The floating flashlight doesn't need a stuffed animal sissy.'

'Kari said the same thing about me and you almost bit her.'

'YOU PROMISED NOT TO BRING THAT UP!' Yuma whines, looking at her.

Astral, looks between them, the mischievous grin on Liru's face and the pout on Yuma's.

"Are you arguing?" He questions, tilting his head.

The both of them look at him surprised, "Huh?"

"You two communicate telepathically correct?" He pays no heed to their shocked faces, "I noticed while dueling that you two seemed to speak to each other telepathically. Were you two arguing?"

It's silent as they stare at him, almost spooked, Liru can feel an almost reluctant giddiness coming from Yuma. Perhaps this was the one they were thinking about? But that's impossible, they didn't meet him that day. They met him today. Maybe they were wrong about the feeling?

"We... We'll talk about this when we get home and in our room." She grabs Astral a red and white wolf plushies before the both of them finish grabbing their treats and go to the cashier.

"Is everything alright dearies?" The store owner asks, a worried look in her eyes.

"Hm? Oh yeah we're fine, lotta things happened today."

"I won a duel against Shark!" Yuma cuts in excitedly and the elder woman perks up.

"Oh?! Congratulations dear!" She compliments, smiling brightly, "Why don't you get yourself a Stuffed animal, on the house."

"Oh you don't need to-" Yuma quickly tries waving her off with a smile.

"I insist, It'll go nice with your sisters and you deserve a reward." She insists a little sterner this time.

Yuma gulps and nods, he doesn't want to get on the candy ladies bad side, she might bring one to his house and tell Kari that they've been dueling.

"Y-Yes ma'am." He quickly runs back to the plushie section, he goes to grab a random one but pauses at the sight of a red sparkly dragon catching his eyes. He stares at it for a moment before grabbing it and going back to the cash register.

The old woman smiles softly seeing it and rings up their stuff, they try to argue when she only charges them for one bag but she waves them off, handing them their stuffed animals and candy and telling them to be safe as they leave.
