After posing in a heroic manner for at least one minute, the Great Nosferatu realised that both the florist and the red eyed guy were looking at him in a strange manner. Even the chao were looking at him confused. The silence then began to bother even the green eyed echidna.

Nosferatu (in a heroic pose): Umm... Perhaps I should stop doing this, right?

The confused woman nodded with her head, then the Great Nosferatu adopted a more casual pose and began to wipe off the dust on his clothes.

Nosferatu (cleaning up): Wow... That was an interesting battle. You know... for someone who doesn't have experience in combat, not bad. And those blades that come out of your fists are really dangerous. You should be more careful when you use them. You could hurt somebody.

??? (frowning): Grrr...

In that moment, the florist looked at the Great Nosferatu.

Florist (protecting the chao): W-who are you?

Nosferatu (looking at the girl): Eh? I told you. My name is Shen, but when duty calls me, I turn into...

Florist (protecting the chao): Don't lie! Who are you? Tell me the truth.

After these words told by the terrified woman, the guy with red eyes raised his blades and threaten to attack again.

Nosferatu (confused): I'm telling the truth... I'm just a traveler who have just arrived to the city. I came here to return your wallet to you, but then I decided to take a little walk and... I found this place.

Florist (protecting the chao): And you know what kind of place is this?

Nosferatu (looking around): Your... private pool?

Florist (protecting the chao): This spring is the last refuge of these little creatures. They don't have anywhere else to go. And you... Without compassion at all... came here to destroy it all.

Nosferatu: Hey... hey... hey... I didn't start this fight! *Pointing at the red eyed guy* He is the one that attacked me first. I was just defending myself.

Florist (protecting the chao): I don't care who began the fight. Nothing of this would have happened if you stayed out of the garden in the first place.

Nosferatu: But... I didn't... *Sigh* Yeah... I suppose you're right. I am really sorry for all the troubles that I made. Can I do something to compensate?

The Great Nosferatu seemed really sorry about what he had done. The florist then saw sincerity in his eyes and decided to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Florist (protecting the chao): Well... You can start by helping me clean all this mess.

Nosferatu (smiling): At your services madame! I'll leave this place so clean and organized, that even you'll want to live here.

With the permission of the florist, the guy with the green eyes got close to the fallen tree and raised it over his head without any issues, as if that heavy log didn't weight at all. After seeing such demonstration of physical strength, the florist and the chao were left bowled over.

Nosferatu (carrying the tree): I'll put this in a less busy area. By the way dude, I would appreciate some help. If we work together, we can clean this place faster.

??? (in a combat pose): Grrr...

Florist (carrying Chubby): Hmmm... Better go help him.
