Business as Usual? Or a total Cluster? [Open]

"Oh no ma'am, I think I got the hang of it. What you gave me was more than enough help," Yata responded to Granny.

He was going to have to practice more, get it to the point where he felt no mental strain, and there was no delay in manipulating his board when it was away from him. it seemed like he was adding more and more onto his arsenal. This would be a good thing should more of those Templars show up.

Yata looked at his watch. "Well i'd better go too, or i'll be late for work," he said, calling his board to him. The skateboard rolled to him seemingly on its own accord to flip through the air to his outstretched hand. "Jr dude and the door guy should be expecting you, Starlette.

Starlette's grandmother would nod with a smile: she was glad that she could be of some help, especially after Yata had taken care of those Templar's.

Her and Gran would wave goodbye to Yata and then Gran would turn towards Starlette, grinning.

Starlette eyed her grandmother wearily: she didn't like it when the old woman got that look on her face. ”So, he seems like a nice young man...”, her grandmother started to say, which caused Starlette to blush a deep red color and roll her eyes.

”Oh, Gran. Don't start...”

”Well, he does.”

”Gran, I'm too dorky for any boy to like me, let alone notice me.”

”Oh, Starlette. You're too hard on yourself. One day you'll find a boy who notices you.”

Starlette just rolled her eyes with a smile. She gave her grandmother a kiss on the cheek and then grabbed her apothecary sashel that held all of her stuff in it. ”I'll be back in a little while, Gran. Do you want me to pick something up for dinner on my way home?”

”We'll just order some Chinese when you get back. Good luck!” Starlette would wave and then walk out the shop. She'd glance around quickly and then turn and head off towards Darkman Tower.
