As Orb walks up right next to one of multiple food vendors, he places the amulet down and gets a series of skewers filled with meat a moment later. Then, handing one over to Elia, he says, "Here you go."
Then, turning his head back to the vendor, he collects his amulet and then turns his cheek back over towards Elia, but as he does, he feels the sharpness of the skewer press against his face.
"Next one."
Bending his eye to look at the empty skewer, he says, "How are you done?"
Pushing the skewer deeper into his skin till some blood is drawn, Elia says, "Why do you bleed when I pierce you? Because you do. Now hand over the next one."
Orb moves to give her another skewer of meat, but right before she grabs it, he pulls it back, and says, "ahahahaha!"
"I have never seen a face with the ability to become more and more punchable than I have seen with yours. Fork it over!"
"I will absolutely for a little bit of information. Do you enjoy keeping your hair like that?"
"It's my natural hairstyle."
Orb hands her a skewer, and as he blinks, all the meat vanishes as her cheeks puff up.
"What's your favourite colour?"
"Blue."
"What's your full name?"
"Elia Vlad Moonwalker."
"What's your favourite hobby?"
"To put broken things back together and make them far superior than they were before."
"What do you love the most?"
"Efficiency and organisation."
"What do you hate the most?"
"Blashphemy, but stupid white haired dogs who don't buy women what they ask for and use food to extort them are coming really close to being number 1"
"I'm your number 1!?"
"Just hearing what you want to hear, a truly womanic behaviour."
"That's not a word."
"Yet you understood it?"
"What are your parents' names?"
"Death, and Corpse."
"Sorry."
Elia suddenly pushes her hair against her face and instantly a stream of tears appear falling from her eyes, then she says, "How could you ask me of such a thing, don't you know how much it hurts being raised without parents. The pain in my heart is so deep that my life might just end instantly."
With black hair, Orb says, "I didn't know. I am really sorry!"
In Orb's arms, she pretends to go limp, and her eyes lose all forms of light, turning into nothing but cells that haven't degraded into nutrients for the planet.
"Elia! Elia no!"
"In a voice similar to that of an old witch, Elia mumbles, "The only thing that can save the broken-hearted girl now, is a shopping spree in which she gets all her heart can desire without any form of push back. Yes, my friends, that is all that can revive the corpse of the princess in the hands."
Giggle a bit, Orb says, "Princess broken heart. Pucker those lips, and let me break that curse."
As Orb brings his face close, Elia revives herself, slaps him, and then quickly uses that moment of weakness to eat all of the meat from the remaining skewers, before finally landing back onto the ground, and grabbing the amulet from Orb.
Fluttering her hair, she says, "It seems I was mistaken, it seems the kiss of a prince is the gateway to getting what I wanted."
Looking at her from the ground, Orb says, "Happy to be of service," With a displeased smile.
Holding the amulet in her hands, she says, "Now what will I use the money of Blestemate to get myself?"
An evil smile perfectly benefitting Elia's face appears making the many nightmares standing around her move away in fear from the demonic pre-screen she exudes as she holds it.
"I just can't wai-." Soon, the attention of Elia shifts, and she runs through the cleared area around her up next to one of the guardrails that hang over the bridge, and looks down at one of the floats going through the river.
It looks like a giant wolfish with its body completely modified into being a ship, and looking at it, Elia jumps from one foot to the other swinging around like a hillbilly as she says, "The Lupabisal, the legendary ship made by the cursed sea army. It is one of the many ships they created during the time they sent those with aquatic curses to help in Molstoria during the calamitous era. Due to the freezing of Fimbulwinter, the seas of Molstoria became even more turbulent than before, and to combat this, the nightmare that went to help created ships that can travel under the water, allowing them to help humans avoid the chaos within the seas. This ship was made through a combination of multiple by taking the corpse cursed wolffish with the gigantification curse and remaking it into a ship, while also making use of a series of different cursed objects that can even out the pressure unwater, while also allowing one to breathe and move even in the deep sea. A tremendous feat of engineering and one of the crowning jewels and long-held secrets of Blestemate! It's so beautiful, it's so enthralling, I just want to rip it to pieces and see every aspect of it, then rebuild it again and again. What discoveries in the world of mathematics could be found by seeing how this allows us to move through the ocean? MY GOD, MY GOD, MY GOD, OH MESSIAH!"
Parents cover their children's eyes, and wives slap their husbands as they stare at the somewhat lewd, somewhat funny, and somewhat scary display of passion by the once demonic-looking girl, but one boy merely stares at her, fully entranced with pink hair across his head. Elia drools as she moves around, and Orb, walking up next to her, just takes the amulet out of her hand as she freaks out over the ship.
Then, as he waves it in her face, Elia quickly composes herself, and then, with a calm and controlled tone, she says, "Give it over."
"MY GOD, MY GOD, MY GOD, OH MESSIAH!"
"I FEEL NO SHAME FOR MY ACTIONS!"
"Wouldn't be the start."
Stepping on Orb's foot, she says, "I don't want to hear shame for you."
"Ahhh, please go harder."
Elia moves her foot off and walks back far, far away from Orb and glares at him in disgust.
Smiling Orb says, "You really do like things like that ship, don't you?"
Walking past Orb, she says, "Of course I do. Those who look at the world and wish to understand the innumerable mysteries within it to take control of for themselves are the coolest in the world. Like big boss Avram."
"Fangirl."
Under her breath, she says, "I don't pretend to be the child of a dead man."
Under his breath, he says, "I don't mistakenly keep calling my boss my father."
A nightmare walks past both of them and says, "You're both weird."
Elia tries to jump him, but Orb grabs her and says, "Down, puppy."
Turning her head back, she says, "Who gave you permission to even attempt to call me that?"
Orb swings the amulet in her face, which makes her growl like a wolf. But as he walks forward, they both run into a crowd, and stopping, they look down a new path to their left where a series of street fairs filled with lines upon lies of sellers looking to catch the people from the parade.
And with her eyes shining, Elia says, "I guess we've got to go there!"
"No."
"I guess we got to-."
"No."
"I guess-."
"No!"
Elia steps on Orb's foot, breaking his hold around her, and then falls onto a group of women in front of her. One of the woman hold her and says, "Are you okay?"
But as tears fall from her eyes, the woman says, "What's wrong? Did we hurt you badly?"
"No, it's not that, it's just this bully behind me, despite forcing me to take him on a date, won't even spend a little bit of money on me."
With red hair, Orb says, "Hey, you!"
The woman looking at Orb shouts, "SILENCE! DO you not see how adorable this little nightmare here i-,"
"I am a human?"
"Really? I thought that demonic presence was some kind of curse. Anyways, treat your woman right or someone else will. I will be watching you."
As the woman walks away, they glare and continue to stare at Orb as Elia stands up and says, "Now it's time to buy me the goods."
"Not a chance. I am not going to waste these people's tax money."
With fake tears, she says, "So you're going to make me walk through this entire area and not buy me a single thing? That's torture, you fiend!"
Moving up close to her, Orb creates a giant pillar of ice beneath them and throws her onto one of the building rooftops, and says, "Now you won't have to see it."
Jumping onto the rooftop, Orb smiles at Elia, and she says, "Break over."
She quickly rushes at Orb and tries to take the amulet off of him, but with far more space than before, he uses his speed to zoom around her and says, "Too slow."
As they get closer to the edge of the building, Orb jumps to the next rooftop, and Elia follows after him as Orb says, "Athletic?"
"Physical exercise was mandatory where I grew up?"
"And where is that?"
"The Republic of Tierkönig, south of the Kingdom of Avalon. Home of the college of Perfection."
Both of them continue to move from rooftop to rooftop, as Orb says, "The country is filled with some of the world's best engineers, whose greatest exports are the citizens it sends abroad to fulfil work contracts for numerous countries. I heard their entire economic strategy involved keeping as many of their skilled workers as far away from home as possible, making them an asset to everyone, and pointless to invade."
"We are a wise people."
"Is that why you went to go see Avram?"
"No, I went to increase my skills."
"Have you?"
"By leaps and bounds."
"You want to teach me somehow."
"I am a busy woman, I don't teach for free."
"Then how about I cook you some food?"
Elia starts to giggle and says, "If only I could taste still."
"You say that as if you aren't a glutton."
"You have yet to try Avram's cooking, have you? Oh, what a joyous life you have not knowing that experience, because when it touches your tongue, everything else just becomes second-class slop."
"Sounds exciting, you want to feed me some?"
"In your dreams."
"I only dream about a giant world where all those I care about get along, and fly on the back of giant crocodiles. What about you?"
"A world where everyone can finally start to surpass their fickle emotions."
"You don't like your emotions?"
"As much as I like eating shit off the ground. Their stupidity weighs that stop you from living an effective life, by always stopping you from appreciating the things around you, and being ok with the most logical choices. They impeded my ability to see the perfect world God created and walk the greatest path across it."
Orb slows down, and Elia reaches hand to grab him, but Orb intercepts it, grabs it, and then twirls her around before holding her close and saying, "I can see how you feel like that, the most efficient path is something I crave with every bit of my being. But the world exists for each individual soul to find their path forward. That's why the world is so vast, so that everyone despite their fickle emotions can see be fulfilled in the end. It's all so beautiful, and I am happy it exists."
They both walk forward, and Elia, hanging her head low and looking at the floor, says, "I think I understand now?"
"Really?"
"Yeah, you're a giant super fucking manwhore Orb."
"What?"
