Conor took a seat under one rest areas that were scattered through the trading areas. He always enjoyed being sent to Beven. It always seemed to be sunny, plenty of people, and great coffee. At that same thought he took a sip of his own.
He'd been in Beven for about 3 days and apparently Spice had been low because he'd been selling like crazy the whole time. Not that he minded. He enjoyed working and the interaction. Dealing with his boss, however, was always less exciting. Conor always got ripped off of his whole pay, which was an increasingly annoying occurance.
He shrugged off those thoughts however and merely relished in the sunlight.

A man with wild red hair flopped onto the seat next to him, groaning. "Oh man, could that sun be any brighter?!" he moaned, stretching out. "I think I'm going to cook from the inside out!" He rested the back of his hand on his forehead dramatically.
Evzen had been in Beven only a few hours, and already he was hotter than a blacksmith's forge. Was there EVER a cloud that passed over this God-forsaken island? He sighed heavily and closed his eyes against the rays of the sun. He silently cursed Kale for having this stupid idea to begin with, splitting up and going on vacation. Vacation only meant trouble for the young fire demon.[/size]

The young light demon smiled in amusment at the red head. "Cook from the inside out?" He mused. "Well, I hope not." Conor remarked. "That would be terribly bad for buisness, to have a corpse next to your stand. Before that happens can I reccomend swimming?"

Evzen peeked an eye open and arched a brow at the man. "Swimming?" he said incredulously. "Like, in the water?!" He looked at the man, aghast. "My dear sir! That's absolutly the worst idea I've ever heard in my life! A fire demon! Go swimming!" He scoffed, but laughter danced in his eyes. "Absolutly perposterous!" [/size]

Conor blinked. "Oh sorry. I mean I should've guess with the hair and all, but I didn't want to jump to conclusions." He said with a helpless shrug. "I suppose I really don't notice the heat, so long as the sun is out I usually don't question it. But if you're a fire demon. How about a drink then? As a trader myself I feel the need to promote my fellows in telling you that the fruit vendor across from us makes a wonderful smoothy." He said with a grin.

He grinned impishly at the light demon. "The name's Evzen," he said, offering him a hand to shake. "And I appreciate the recommendation." He winked at him. [/size]

"No, problem." He replied, taking the man's hand. "I'm Conor." The Light Demon said grinning.
((Umm...yeah...I got nothin'...))

Instead of letting the hand go after a breif squeeze, Evzen pulled the light demon to his feet and over towards said vendor, and grinned at the man behind the cart. "I heard you have the best smoothies around this side of Mirlan," he said with a grin. [/size]

Both Conor and the vender were blinking by the time Evzen had arrived at the small stand.
The owner of the stand was a young woman with dark brown hair and darker eyes. "Well, thank you." She replied somewhat embarressed. "Is there something I can get you?" She asked.
Conor tried to compose himself after being ripped from his seat so suddenly.

He smiled prettily at her, and nodded. "Hm....a mango-strawberry smoothie for me, please, and then whatever my friend here would like," he said, clapping Conor on the back lightly. [/size]

The young woman blushed lightly as she went to work.
"Oh, no. That's okay." The blond assured him. "I'm fine. This is just to soothe your internal cooking problem." The light demon said teasingly.

He laughed, and shook his head. "Please, this is my treat for saving me from utter demise." He grinned. "Please? Pretty please?" The fire demon stuck out his lower lip in a pout. "I'd feel absolutly horrid for not repaying you." [/size]

The light demon laughed, truly amused. "Umm...alright." He said finally. "If it means that much to you." He looked back at the girl. "I'll have a traditional strawberry/banana then."
The girl nodded and began simultaneously making another. She was, to say the least, proficient in her work. She quickly manipulated her tools and fruit and in litterally a minute, maybe two, both beverages were placed before them.

Evzen beamed at him, before he paid the girl and thanked her with a beaming smile. Taking a rather long sip from his smoothie, he sighed happily as it slid down his throat. "Oh wow! That's amazing!" he exclaimed, clapping the light demon on the shoulder whilst draping an arm around him to lead him away from the stand and back to their seats. "You were right! This has to quite possibly be the best smoothie I've ever had!"[/size]

"See, I told you." He said still smiling, though somewhat more proudly now. He always did enjoy being right. Besides, it was hard to not smile with this character around you. When they took their seats again Conor glanced up at the sky.
"Though, it doesn't look like you're going to have a problem with the sun for much longer." He remarked, he could faintly see a dark orange tint outlining the sun in it's coming twilight hours.

He tucked his legs underneath him and sighed happily. "Today has been wonderful, I'd must admit. Lovely weather. Even if the dratted sun was too bright." He grinned. "Oh!" he said, snapping his fingers. "There's a light show tonight! Would you be interested in joining me?" He grinned brightly. [/size]

Conor had been thinking of something when Evzen addressed him so it took a moment to catch up. "Huh? A light show? Uh...sure!" He said with a smile. "But I have to close up my stand and stop back at my house first, is that okay? Or would you rather I just met up with you somewhere?" He wondered.

He grinned. "Nah, I'll meet you at the Arena. Say, around....7:30-ish? The show starts at 8." The fire demon couldn't have looked happier, and took another sip from his smoothie.[/size]

"Yeah, sounds like a plan." He agreed, still smiling. "I'll go get started then." Conor stood from the table. "See you in a few hours!" The blond said brightly before heading off to close shop.

Evzen grinned and waved, sipping on his smoothie a few more times before depositing it in the trash receptical and sauntering down the street to peer at a few stands. [/size]

Conor had taken little time to gather his few things from the stand and lock everything up, taking only the supply of spice back home with him. After all if he was just going to set up again tomorrow there was no need to drag everything back with him.
He stopped back at the hotel that he'd been checked into by his boss. It wasn't a very nice one, of course it wasn't horribly either, but Conor couldn't complain considering he wasn't paying for it.
The light demon went right up to his room and began to get ready. He locked his merchandise into a safe that he'd brought and tucked it back into his closet. Then, he changed from his work attire into something more casual. He grabbed his chain necklaces and couple of rings, which he didn't wear while working because it didn't seem right, and put them on once more. He washed up a little and brushed his hair before grabbing a black jacket from his bed post and heading out the door.
Luckily for Conor the arena was huge and there were plenty of signs leading to it, because if it hadn't been he would have probably gotten terribly lost. But as it were he arrived on time, even a little ahead of schedule. He wasn't exactly sure where he was suppose to be waiting so he stood off to the side of the entrance while people began to come and go quickly around him.

Through the crowd came a familiar spray of red hair. Evzen spotted the light demon and grinned, waving as he made his way over towards his newfound friend. "Glad you made it," he said with a grin. He cleaned up well, at least. The fire demon was dressed in a ebony ribbed shirt, with a jean jacket over it, and a pair of well-worn jeans that looked comfortable, but nice. His travelling boots fit his feet perfectly and peeked out underneath his pants, and a thick band was clipped to his right ear (like in the picture). A small cross pendant hung about his neck, glittering slightly in the streetlamps.
Evzen grinned. "Well? Ready to go in?" he inquired, running a hand quickly through his hair, quite possibly making it more messy than it already was. [/size]

Conor smiled in relief as he finally saw the one person he would reckognize on most likely this entire island. When he noticed the fire demon had changed his cloths as well but they weren't too formal he felt even more relieved. He had been hoping that he wouldn't be too under dressed.
"Yeah, definitly." He nodded, excitement dancing just behind his eyes. This would be the first time he'd ever been to something like this.

Evzen grinned, and motioned for the other boy to follow him. He passed the tickets to the man at the booth, and grinned back at Conor. "Our seats are over there," he said, pointing to a seat just above the floor.

And Conor did follow when Evzen instructed him to. The Light Demon followed the other into the building, past the ticket booth and looked up when the fire demon indicated where their seats were.
Conor made his way to the floor above, trying to avoid if at all possible, bumping into the seemingly hundreds of people that had suddenly just began pouring in. The blond was quite relieved when he finally sat down. He never felt more insecure then he did during the night time.
