 Z am nodded along with Fang’s words. Yup, the damage had already been done. And she liked doing damage. She was very good at it, you know. Besides that, her friend was spouting a lot of words she didn’t understand. Remorseful, constructive, repent... None of them made much sense to her, buuut she nodded anyway. As long as it stopped Gramps from being disappointed, she was ready to do anything! Mayor Noudel, however, continued to brandish the newspaper of shame like an iron mace. “Hrm, perhaps so. This is already the seventeenth time she has done this...” “Not that many...” “...so clearly I must reconsider my approach.” He stroked his beard, ignoring the little thief’s mumbled protest. And yes, it was at least that many. Fortunately, the wise, old man soon reached a verdict. “Very well. We will both apologize to the poor soul...” He gestured the fearsome weapon at the cowering girl. “...and you will pay back all the stolen clothes with money earned through hard work.” Luckily, he knew places that always welcomed a pair of helping hands, no matter the looks or race. The Majin dared to breathe a sigh of relief. “Oh. That’s not too ba-” A costly mistake. She was interrupted by one more whap, right in the face. However, the words that followed were far more devastating... It was like a thump from a judge’s gavel. “And until the debt is paid in full, you get no dessert.”“NnnooOOOO!”With a scream of genuine terror, Zam turned completely white. The threat of no dessert was way too much. She clutched her head and flopped back melodramatically. Wisps of steam erupted from her mouth, as if her soul was fleeing her body. Her frame even deflated a little, like a leaky balloon. ...Okay, maybe she was just being a drama queen. Meanwhile, Mayor Noudel’s stance softened and he found his usual, jovial attitude. “Well, we can start your punishment tomorrow. It would be needlessly cruel to deny your friend’s kindness. After all, it’s not his fault you’ve been up to mischief again.” When his words stirred no response, he cocked a brow. “...That means you can have cookies today.”Immediately Zam sprung up from the floor. “Yaaay cookies!” Her strange body regained normal coloration, which in her case was bubblegum pink. She zipped over to the baker’s side. “Are they done yet? How about now? Now?” Her impatient bombardment would continue until the cookies were actually out of the oven. |

Fang almost had a panic attack himself when Gramps said the words "no dessert" to Zam! He wanted her to eat his cookies almost as much as she wanted to eat them he was sure. The idea that she had nearly missed out on his treats because she stole some clothes was devastating to him.
But luckily Gramps seemed at least willing to let her have some today, tomorrow would be another story though. But that was okay, but Fang only cared about the moment anyway. He could feel sorry for her tomorrow after he and Gramps made an apology to whoever she had stolen the clothes from. For now, he simply sighed in relief. "We should go on a shopping trip for you some time too. I don't know if you stole the clothes because you thought you needed them, or just because you wanted them, but having a nice selection of clothes should at least make stealing clothes less tempting." He noted lightly.
But for now, it was time to have cookies! And it seemed Zam was eager to dig in. Fang grinned at her and nodded before going to the oven and moving to open it and pull the tray free. He basically just wrapped his hands in gloves of wind to prevent any burning while setting the cookies on top of the stove. "They are ready. But maybe wait thirty seconds or so after scooping one off the tray. Then you can bite into all that warm melty goodness." He said as he took a spatula to carefully begin sliding the cookies off the metal one by one. They smelled perfect, they looked divine, the chocolate was dripping, and the cookies were soft. This was basically the most perfect state for a cookie to be in or so Fang personally felt. Not that these cookies would ever really be bad, and they would certainly not survive the day.
He carefully lifted a cookie up from the tray and offered it to her. She could take the bite offered, or just lift her hands to accept the soft warm treat. Either way, Fang was excited to see her reaction.

T he idea got immediate approval from the chaotic creature. “Ooh, a shopping trip! Yaaay! I love trips~!” As soon as she got most of the excitement out of her system, she cocked her head. A puff of steam rose from her head, forming a short-lived question mark. “...What’s shoo-ping?” She had heard of markets and merchants, but this shoo-ping thingy was all new. But if it helped her get more fashun, then she liked it! Zam took Fang’s pondering as a question. She puffed her chest proudly, wearing a smug smile. “Yup, I need them to be fashun-apple~” All the coolest heroes on TV had many super cool costumes, so obviously she needed them too. It was too bad she couldn’t magic anything else other than her favorite outfit... As soon as the cookies were brought out, the Majin’s aura changed. A smile still played on her lips, but her eyes burned with peculiar hunger. When she licked her lips, her tongue stretched to ridiculous proportions. Any warnings were promptly ignored. “Less talkie, more cookie!” She pushed closer like a ravenous wolf. When the friend offered a cookie, the glutton suddenly lunged. Oop, watch those fingers, Fang! Zam’s jaw snapped shut, devouring the entire cookie with a resounding chomp. Hopefully the man managed to snatch his hand away... Otherwise this would hurt. “Mmmmh~!”The greedy creature squirmed with a delighted squeal. Her swift fingers snatched another cookie. And another. More... MORE! It was a small wonder how she didn’t choke while inhaling the treats so quickly. Even gramps had to swat the grubby hands away momentarily, so he could get a taste himself. Fortunately, he was no slouch. His fists turned into a blur, deflecting the assault with practiced ease. And there! He managed to grab a cookie. “Hm, tasty...” He mused between bites. |

He sighed and shook his head at the question. "You don't even know what shopping is, you poor girl." He noted with clear pity in his voice. "It just means we are going to go out to buy you stuff. New clothes mainly, but maybe we can find some other fun and interesting things while we are out. But it will likely only be after we deal with the person you stole clothes from." He noted.
His hand was quick to slip back when those teeth nearly came down on his hand. He lifted a brow to shake his hand, feeling only the phantom pain of teeth sinking into his flesh. Luckily he was fast enough not to get bit, though it had been a near thing indeed.
But he was proud to see that she loved his cookies. So much so that if Gramps had not stepped in to stop her she would have eaten all the cookies without a thought. "I am glad that the cookies are good. And I am sure that after trying them you can see why they are my favorite. Even if you still like muffins or something more than my cookies." He noted lightly, figuring he could make her muffins the next time he came by. He was more than happy to indulge her sweet tooth.
He was glad that Gramps was enjoying the cookies as well. He took only one for himself letting Gramps and Zam have the rest. He could make a few more once the tray was cleared off anyway. "So is today a good day?" He asked Zam with a soft smirk. "Nothing like eating sweets with friends right?"

I t was a small miracle Zam managed to say anything while scarfing down the treats. “Yup yup~!” She chimed happily. “Good day, great day~!” She loved delicious things even more than fighting and blowing stuff up, though those were still a close second. As for which was better, cookies or muffins... She didn’t know and didn’t care~! Both were amazing~! Once the last cookies were devoured, the Majin hopped to the baker’s side. Ignoring any semblance of personal space, she leaned closer and reached for his chest. “Hey, hey listen!” Pat pat pat, she insistently demanded his undivided attention. “You’re my friend now. So if anybody ever bullies you, tell me!” Her smile sharpened into a crescent grin and her eyes burned with peculiar madness. “I’ll destroy them~!” The cheery tone was a poor fit for such a grim promise. Mayor Noudel shot a stern look at the girl. “Zam no.” “Zam YES.” Despite the gleeful destroyer’s insistence, he remained firm. “No. Causing pointless death and destruction is the root of all evil. You would be no better than a common thug.” His words were like a pinprick, poking a hole in the eerie atmosphere. Zam visibly deflated with disappointment. “Aw...” Being a thug was not cool... She wanted to be a superhero after all. So, she cocked her head, thinking her hardest. Steam began to rise from her head, before she came up with another plan. “Theeen... I’ll beat ‘em up? Just a little bit?” She pinched her fingers together to underline the careful suggestion. Against all expectations, the old martial artist actually agreed. “That’s fine.” His tone held solemn seriousness. “Some people only speak the language of violence. In such cases, we have no option, but to make ourselves understood.” He wanted to believe most people were good, but that was no excuse to be naive. Everyone should have the power and ability to protect those who were important to them. And the girl clearly had decided this traveler was important to her. |

Fang did not even attempt to resist or dodge the hug she gave him, returning it as he wrapped his arms around her, though he grunted and huffed at how much harder she was squeezing him, his bones might have even creaked, and something might have popped from the force of her hug. "I appreciate the hug, Zamzam, but if you could ease it a bit that would be nice." He managed to wheeze out while hugging her back and stroking the top of her head.
When she finally let him go he took a deep breath and nodded to both her and Gramps. "Thanks. I'll be glad to call this place home when I stop by occasionally." He agreed, more than happy to have what could basically be considered a safe house for him. He likely would not overstay his welcome. He was very much used to wandering the world, and rarely stayed in one place longer than a week, though even three-day stays were a rare occasion for him.
"Yeah, well you are already pretty strong in my opinion. I'll gladly let you protect me when you think it's necessary, but I hope that I can catch up to you eventually." But he shrugged. "But considering how energetic you are, I feel like I'm almost lazy in comparison. I suppose I should be putting more effort into growing stronger." Not that he never put any effort into his training, but he had been taking things at a rather casual pace lately at least.
"We should spar sometime." He mused to Zam. "Fighting with people stronger than myself would be of great benefit to me I think, even if I have no real chance against you." He chuckled. "Still, think you would be up for a spar sometime Zam?"

T he mischievous Majin’s joy grew even greater, when her new friend agreed. “Yaaay~!” She threw her hands in the air, before lunging in and trying to grab the man into a hug. Humming happily, she wanted to rub her soft cheek against his chest. Her friendship was overwhelming. Aaaand a little suffocating. For something so small and squishy, she had some seriously strong muscles. Meanwhile, the old man stroked his beard. “Of course, Zam's offer for help goes for the rest of the village as well.” The community of Noudel Village was tight-knit. Befriending one meant befriending them all. “If you ever need a place to stay on your travels, you are always welcome here.” He offered kindly. Of course, he knew the type that craved adventure. Quiet village life was often too slow for them, but it could provide a welcome change of pace every now and then. Fortunately, Zam would soon let the poor man go. She flashed a cheeky grin. “Nyeh hee, I’m gonna get stronger and stronger, so I can protect you!” Puffing her chest proudly, she flexed her muscles. Stray ki crackled across her figure. “I can feel it, you know... I’m getting close to something big~!” She bragged. |

E ating up compliments like candy, the Majin grinned smugly. Her ego was easily inflated. Placing her hands on her hips, she posed proudly. “Yup yup~! Zam is the strongest~” Her chime came with utmost confidence. Oh yes, she fully believed her own hype. Then again, maybe there was a trace of truth to her bold claim... In this small world, she certainly was head and shoulders above most mortals. When Fang mentioned sparring, Zam’s eyes immediately lit up, resembling twinkling twin stars. “Ooh, I love sparring!” To her, fighting was the most fun thing in the world. She loved it even more than snacking, napping and TV. None of those scratched the weird itch she sometimes got in the back of her mind... The overwhelming urge to go crazy... But fighting scratched it sooo good~! However, the old martial artist seemed pensive. He stepped between the two, giving the young man a measuring look. “Hrm, I don’t think that’s a good idea...” He muttered. “Zam has trouble holding back. She doesn’t understand her own strength.” The earlier hug had probably proven as much already. Despite the words of warning, the chaotic creature was quick to step to the wind warrior’s side again. “Is okay~! Fangy is strong too!” She patted his arms approvingly and offered him a bright smile. “He won’t break like all the weak lil beasts and bandits~” As usual, she sounded all too carefree while spouting something pretty questionable. There was a good reason this sleepy little village was left alone by men and monsters alike... Then, something rare happened. In the Majin’s usually empty head, an actual idea sparked. “Ooh, I know!” Standing on her tippy toes, she leaned close to the young man. “The sun won’t set for a while! And and I’ve done all my chores for the day!” She got so excited that she had trouble holding still. “So we can go out and spar right now~!” ...Well, she thought it was a good plan at least. |

"It's fine, we can go someplace safe then. Maybe make a quick trip to the desert or something if she has that much trouble holding back." He suggested with a shrug to Gramps. Even if she did have trouble holding back he doubted she would go so far as to kill him. He could get very hurt, possibly even maimed, but he doubted his death at the hands of his new pink friend.
"You want to go right now then?" Fang asked amused by Zam's suggestion before nodding. "Fine then, if you feel up to it right now, then now is as good a time as any." He agreed figuring there was little point in putting it off. He was the one to request a spar after all.
