The sun shined brighter (if that's at all possible) than before. "Yes, all kinds of magic. It's unique to certain elements" and she started on about getting ideas. But he was a knight, and he'd later assure her a perfect gentleman. He didn't quite ignore her comment but instead decided to focus on the magic part of it.
"I can teach you, because of that gem of yours." More smiles a dashing smile. One that would make girls on his home planet melt.

Gracery froze a minute, staring wide eyed at him as the sun highlighted his hair, accenting his charming smile perfectly. Eyes snapping back into focus and brain unfreezing, she wrinkled her nose. "Elements like...the periodic table of elements? If so, then I don't want to learn. And are we going to go somewhere or are you going to stand here all day holding my hand? 'Cause if so...I'll slap you."

"More like water and fire." he mused. But snapped back to attention as though it were the proper thing to do. "Come then," and he began to lead her where he had been headed originally. He was unsure of the Earth periodic table of elements. But he wouldn't tell her it wasn't magic. He'd lose the gem user that way.
"No need to slap, Dame Gracey. I am a gentlemen." He glanced down as an escort and looked at her softly. "But you have to trust me."

"I like water," she stated childishly, stumbling a bit to keep up with More. "And if you want me to trust you, you've got to earn it doofus." She smiled at him. "So...where we going?"

"Hrm?" More is unfamiliar with the term 'doofus'. But he could earn whatever she desired. "We are going to find more gem children." He noted aloud, "More like us, but first I have to find something." they had walked maybe three feet before he entered a jewelry shop, "sometimes they get mistaken."

"What gets mistaken? The children or the gems?" Gracery snorted, lightly swinging their clasped hands.

"Both," More answers, "Gems more so than children." he chuckles. "But you'd be surprised." his comment trails and he feels oddly comfortable, he assumes it could be due to the water element she held. "Either way, usually finding one results in finding the other."

"Cool beans," Gracery commented, before asking about a more pressing matter. "And what do these gems do, exactly? And do they all look the same?"

He had no way to explain it. Not simply. "They do a lot of things, everything, really. And they look similar, not quite the same." His answers were too vague for his liking. "In simple terms they look like jewelry."
More glances at his ring, "But are much more useful. I bet your 'shiny stone' does more than you think it can."

-Migicallis-
"I am not programmed to commit crimes!" AI defended herself. Bishieful closed the drawer he was inspecting. "We're not committing any crimes, I was just... making sure everything is okay." He pulled out a mirror seemingly out of nowhere and admired his pretty reflection. "Yes well... everything is okay." He waited to see if Ten was still suspicious.
-Earth-
"Okay, okay," Moonlight continued to pout. "I don't know what the big deal is anyway I'm not scared of fighting Magicallis if I had to." After all she had been raised in Vampir and though it was obvious she was different, she considered Vampir her home. She also felt like she was being overprotected being sent to Earth to hide. She wondered if anything was being kept from her, but decided it wouldn't do any good to give it too much thought.
The bus had come to a full stop by now and people were getting on. "I have to go now..." Moonlight didn't sound too happy about it but she would go anyway.

A young boy in a vibrantly blue tuxudo and top hat walked down the street with a pale gothy kid who looked like he was thrown out of a Marilyn Manson concert.
"SQUAWK!" Pen, the young boy, cried out.
Sammael sighed. "Bored. BO-RE-D. You could at least TRY to use human speech. not everyone understands penguin you know." How Sammael had come to understand his penguin-speak had never really crossed his mind.
"BO-URD! SQUAWK!" Pen cried out again.
They just happened to cross a jewelry store when Pen's eyes lit up. "SHINY OVERLOAD! SQUAWK!" he ran up to the window and stared as though he were in a trance at all the jewels in the display.
"Funny...I don't remember teaching him those words..." was all Sammael could think.
Pens eyes then laid rest on part of a jewel sticking out of a teenage girls pocket. The girl seemed occupied talking to some kind of narcissist or something.
"SQUAWK" he quickly darted for it, grabbing it and running down the street.
"No, not squawk. 'gimme'. GI-VE ME'." Sammael corrected. He paused. "Wait, I mean, get back here! You can't go stealing from complete strangers!"
He turned to Gracery. "I'm so sorry, I'll get it back immediately!" and went to chase after Pen.

"My 'shiny stone' is shiny, and that's all that matters!" Gracery declared, before glancing at his ring. "And because it is shiny...I am amazing...you are moderately cool as well," she snickered, pulling on the cord of her headphones. She was about to continue abusing/annoying More - it was simply too much fun! - and asking more questions, but she only got as far as, "Are all the users from-" when a boy dressed rather nicely in very...blue tuxedo darted by her. She was about to change course midway through her sentence and say something along the lines of:
"Aw...how cute!" when he let loose a loud squawk (which scared the bejeebers out of her) and stole her gem. Gracery stood stock still, gaping as the back of the thief grew smaller with every step he took. And as if things couldn't get any weirder, a man wearing so much leather it was almost obscene appeared seemingly out of nowhere and apologized before tearing after the squawker. Gracery's mouth still hung open, eyes impossibly wide and hand tangled in the cord of her headphones as she articulated the only she could at the present moment:
"What the-?"

Pen continued to dash down the sidewalk, clutching his newly acquired shiny while Sammael chased after him. Fortunately for Sammy, his legs were longer and it was only a block or so before he had finally caught up.
Sammael picked Pen up from under his arms and lifted him in the air.
"Squawksquawksquawksquawksquawk"
Pen continued to run, despite the fact that he wasn't touching the ground and that his legs were just flailing wildly in the air.
Sammael groaned. "Sometimes I wonder if should try keeping you in a pokeball or something." Although he was sent to earth on an "Important" mission, he spent most of his time watching cartoons and anime.
He then returned back to the jewelry store, where the teenage girl stood there with her mouth still gaping open. He still held Pen in the air while Pen still tried running to no avail.
"Once again, I am so sorry" Sammael said, returning the peculiar gem.

More hardly had time to blink (being stuck on one's self is an oddly tiring time consuming job) before the stone was stolen and returned. his head half tilted at the strange...penguin..child? It squawked repeatedly. But as Sammael apologized once again, More moved Gracey behind him.
Instinct. A knight always protects a damsel.

Twilight watched her get on the bus and gave a sigh. She wasn't trained to be a nanny! Groaning she headed down the side walk thinking of a deccent way to satisfy her growing depression.

Moonlight watched the scenery go by as she rode the bus. The bus passed a jewelry store with a few odd looking people in the. Ivory was peeking out of Moonlight's bag and saw them as well through the window. "Oh no, that terrible man with the golden hair looked like the prince of Magicallis," Ivory poked at the collar. "Take this off quick! I can't protect you in this form, but oh that other form is dreadful, I'll still go back to it if it means saving your life!"
Moonlight blinked, any excuse was good to unleash Ebony and cure her boredom and but had said she would stay out of trouble. "Shh, keep it down. And just what do you mean?" She pulled out a drawing of what the terrible prince of Magicallis supposedly looked like. In the picture he was depicted as a grotesque monster. "Other than the hair color they don't look anything alike."
"You're right, but shiny hair like that is unusual in this planet. Maybe it's a coincidence..."
"Or fake, earthlings have such boring hair colors they use fake colors sometimes, and even fake hair."

Pen finally stopped flailing and Sammael put him down. More's sudden movement to step in front of Gracery caused Pen to flinch. But instead of jumping, he just grinned. Or rather, he bared his teeth. Pen then proceeded to chomp down on More's hand, attacking in the only way he knew how.
"SQUAWK!" he yelled out his battle cry through a mouthful of fingers.
"Ack! Pen!" Sammael tried to pull him off. "I'm sorry! He hates it when you make sudden movements."

More's attention darted to the passing by bus. It can't be?. Was he surrounded on all sides? If only Ten was here. Well, if Ten were here, he'd have just put him to work. He can't change here, there's no time, no secrecy. He had to keep his identity a secret!
Instead he chose what he could call a safe path, "Gracey," Not Dame as before, "We need to leave."
The odd child bit down on his hand. He blamed Bishieful and Ten for this. If he yelled or moved suddenly again the attack child may do worse.
He had to do something and so he did the only thing he could. His fingers moved ever so slightly, ice shards beginning to form in his hand. His hope was to freeze it, numb the pain. But most importantly a cold shock might get the kid off.

As the ice crystals formed in his mouth, Pen suddenly released More from his jaw. He stared at the crystals, amused. He then began to bounce up and down, clapping happily.
"ICE! SQUAWK!"
The area on the ground where he was bouncing began to freeze and the pavement turned to ice.
Sammael began to panic. The child had just used his 'magic' in front of complete strangers. It was a rather small patch of ice though. Hopefully they won't notice...
After all, Sammael didn't notice that it was More who had used his "magic" first.

The bus stopped in front of the school and students began to get odd. Moonlight was the last out, in no hurry to get to school. She stood in front of the gates wondering if something would come up, anything so she would have an excuse to skip on the primitive education that this planet had to offer. She already had a real education from when she was in Vampir. "That guy was suspicious right?"
"Huh?" Ivory, who was still in Moonlight's backpack, wondered where Moonlight was going with this and why she brought it up after claiming that the man with golden hair looked nothing like the prince.
"I mean, he obviously wasn't the prince of Magicallis but he could be a minion..." Others students walked by and gave Moonlight odd looks because to them it looked like she was talking to herself. "I better investigate..." and she darted back towards the place where the suspicious minion of Magicallis was last seen.
"Twilight won't like this!" Ivory complained but was ignored.

Gracery, meanwhile was at a complete loss at what to do. She could only watch, still gaping, as More pushed her behind him and although she appreciated the protective gesture, he was blocking her view. With a huff, she finally snapped her jaw closed and tried to peek over More's shoulder, a slight laugh leaving her lips when the boy - Pen, was it? - bit down on More's hand...turns out the kid had the same defense attack as she did. Although...she liked biting people at times for no reason at all. She completely ignored the blond boy's question.
"Ice?" she whispered in awe, grinning as Pen jumped and down happily, ice forming on the ground. She didn't even notice the shocked and somewhat scared look on the other boy's face, the one in all the leather, but instead moved from behind More and gave the squawking boy a charming grin, dancing with him as she slid haphazardly on the ice.
