And back.

Their unauthorised excursion goes out for quite some time, but eventually, the sun sets and darkness falls all around. That's how quickly their bravery turns into urge to go back to the palace. Problem is, they can't remember the way back, as they are lost in the city.

Meanwhile, they've also managed to find WooPil back and regroup, but due to being too panicked, even WooPil doesn't manage to find the way back, not even with his powers, as he doesn't manage to focus. And now there aren't as many people around in the streets, everyone is going home, which makes things even more scary for the little ones. Not to mention that they are starving and Yang is, of course, exhausted.

They all gather around and start to cry in the square where the market is held.

MORAX "Well, it'll have to wait just a couple of minutes, food should be here any moment." He pats his belly.
"Yangie, you are sure a cunning one." He pokes his forehead.
"Teucer is also older than you, so it is obvious he has more responsabilities..." He just fears Ajax won't do anything about him.
He snorts at Yang's words. "What a rascal...
What? Xiao called himself a slave..?" He blinks. Now he'll get complexes. XD

Woopino Yang. «Those few minutes before food are always the slowest… I wish I could make time go faster in these cases…» And he probably could, one day…
«I am just a too good child that I end up being misunderstood…» The only reason why he is not everyone's nightmare is that he is lazy as fuck.
«Teucer can get punished, he is old enough for it.»
He nods. «It is what Xiao said, shi. Maybe because you don't pay him to be our nanny?»

MORAX "Manipulating time is a dangerous art, you know?" He doesn't think he means for real. XD
"I won't deny you can be a good child...you are a sweetheart, but you should definitely listen more to me and less to people like Teucer...
It'll be up to Childe but yes, I would punish him after what he caused." He shuts his eyes, not saying it lightheartedly.
"He has never asked to be paid, but if that's what he wants, I'll give him any money he needs..."

Woopino Yang. «Why? I just want my food to come faster so that I can eat.» Luckily manipulating time is the most difficult thing ever.
«But you had never told me that I can't go outside by myself before. WooPil said that, but it doesn't count since he is little too.»
He ponders. «Maybe he needs the money for his new look. They said he went out to buy clothes.»

MORAX "I believe that manipulating time is a lot more difficult than learning some patience." He smiles slightly. "The wait will make it even better.
I hoped in people's common sense, but it seems you were cunning enough to avoid them, so maybe you already knew you were doing wrong." He gives Yang a specific look.
"Yes, Xianyun wants to renew his look and help him live a normal life...I approve of it."
