"Yeti?"

Stare at the ice bird across the pavement. He was walking very fast towards them.

"No, you know my name. Call me by that name. How many times we had this conversation?"

A lack of care in their eyes as they held a snow cone with their right hand, while the tail holding the two bottles of water. "No and I think five."

Three others by the imp and the food truck owner stared. Everyone scattered and the truck driver sped off.

"Your tongue would be ripped off right now if I wasn't in a rush." Point at them.

"You're the one who called me out. Got out your car." Wave him at the driver remembering them. Same fancy car with the door opens in the back. Sees the driver groaning and ready to slam their face on the wheel. Must have remembered them.

"You the one who answered."

"You respond to it Yeti." Their right hand holding the snow cone was then blasted. Now it was in a block of ice. "Seriously?"

"Yes." A small smirk while their hand was letting out a bit of frost.

"What the snow cone do to you?"

Andrealphus smirk drops. He just stared at this scarf wearing imp as he listened to their priorities. "I just froze your hand."

"No, duh I see it." Look it over and tap it with their claw.

"Does it feel cold? Like tiny ice needle pressed into your skin."

"Yes, but that is beside the point. My snow cone in there."

"Just get another one. I probably did you a favor as it looks like muddy soil. Gah what did you get."

"One it was chocolate."

"What? Since when is there chocolate snow cones?"

"Two you're the one who freezes my hand and if you haven't noticed. It's gone." Motion the food truck that was there and gone.

"Well, I wasn't going to buy you one anyway you scoundrel."

"What?" Were they supposed to be offended?

Took a deep breath. Steady Andrealphus. Keep it together. You're the Marquis. One of the best in the families. Don't be losing your cool like Stella. You got this. You got this. Mild threats. A little punishment. One apology. Will be good to go. Much better back to their talk. "Now as you can see, you're not in a good spot to argue with me, along with nobody to step in to help. No, distractions. No, blasted beer cans. No, Stola-Are you walking away from me... Don't you walk away from me!"

Moxxie ignore them while tapping their ice block hand as they go back to the park. Interesting. Could smash it against wall? Maybe put it over a fire pit. Or would they need one those that are magic? Could also just open a small portal to Wrath in one of those lava springs. But their snow cone.

"Hello Moxxie thanks for the...Why do you have a block of ice on your hand?" Medea stared at their arm as he handed a bottle of water, same to their chest companion.

"Because I'm not allowed to eat snow cone." Moxxie grumbled and stared at it over. "You think I can save it?"

"The arm? Well, of course might have some a few problems but will recover fast."

"No, the snow cone."

"Eh 50/50."

"My, what an interesting case. I don't know many sinners who can use such abilities around these parts. Who did you run into?"

"It's a Yeti."

"Pardon?"

"I think they're talking about the peacock storming this way. That brining in the ice breeze." Medea pointed at the direction Moxxie came from.

Andrealphus storming over with an intense gaze and icy aura. Cyan eyes glowing with a piercing look at their direction. A swirling ice storm he seemed to be a manifestation of his magic, amplifying his menacing presence. The sight of his furry vest billowing in the magical breeze only added to the ominous atmosphere that surrounded him.

Many would be running away as you didn't want to be the one to gain this attention from the Marquis. To not be the one to receive such a look.

"Oh dear. Aren't thou a Goetia? Why they in these parts?" Pull their coat closer and stare with narrowed eyes. You don't usually see them around these parts.

"Maybe their car got broken down."

"No, they just came out to approach me and freeze my snow cone hand." Maybe if they add a certain amount of strength, they can break the ice. Maybe could save the snow cone.

"What did you do and speak?

"I slap him months ago and called him a Yeti."

"How is thou alive?"

"He the one who did a long monologue and was open to being attacked. Call it a life lesson."

"This is not good situation." About to just leave to not be in this predicament. He is not a coward but not a fool to get the attention of one the Goetia attention like this. Along with everything else lately of this upcoming short year. They have enough work on their plate. But they were enjoying this fun game of chess.

"Agreed. Mox why don't you politely talk to him to work things out."

"Why do I have to deal with him?"

"I would gladly talk to him and you can take my place to play chess"

Turn around and began to move. Mutter below their breath in Spanish as they start to walk to the Yeti direction.

"My new companion. Has thou lost his mind with old age?"

"They'll be fine. They dealt with bigger annoyance than what approaching."

"I sometimes believe you little ones bite out more than you can chew."

"How many times have human died that way?"

"Touché, but even so. To ask your other companion to do that? They must care for you."

"Naw they just don't like to play chess."

Stare at the smiling old imp. "Their avoiding to play chess and rather go deal with the-"

"ILL FREEZE YOU INTO THE NEXT ICE AGE!"

"-unhinged Peacock."

"Correct!"

Zestial began to think this could be the other reason hellborns die so easily. They again all the times he saw sinners 'died', no by angelic weapons, would have died faster. Yet, still so many. But he will admit this was quite an interesting thing to see. "Do be warned not to feel offended. I will be enjoying their screams if they get hurt and killed."

"Well, that's why they're a Doctor on standby if the peacock gets hurt. Granted he might not be pleased with that."

The ancient sinner couldn't help but laugh. Oh, this is quite exciting to hear! Almost beats why one of their overlord companions was gone for seven years. Or the other detail of that decapitated head. He should try to be around these little ones again. The Goetias would be trickery to get in the mix.

"Are you done?" Really want to be elsewhere than deal with him. But it was either this or playing chess. They been standing here the last two minutes mouthing them off with threats.

"Am I done. Am I done? Do you hear that everyone they asked me if I was done!"

Only ones there just Moxxie, the other two playing chest, the crows and rats.

"You're just making yourself really stand out at the moment."

"Shut it before I freeze your other hand. You are going to stand there and listen to me."

"Don't you have to be somewhere else?"

"That's my business. Plus, they wait till I arrived."

In some high capital building where many different meetings happen in different rooms. Because why not have many doors.

"Where is Andrealphus?"

"How should we know Vassago?"

"This is third time he late."

"Will just go on without him."

"I'm still filing a complaint."

"We get it you two hate each other. Just bang all ready."

"I'm going to punch for you daring to suggest that!"

"Should have used your future sight for that!"

"Go get your ass handed to you by a hellhound Sitri!"

"Does Polly want a fist to his beak?"

They can handle being without him till he gets this fixed.

"Wow, I feel so honored to be in thy presence of your time and have my hand frozen."

"Aww see your learning. Now say you're sorry."

"Apology not accepted Yeti."

"...There are two things making me not kill you right now."

"Huh only two. What a low record."

"Make it three with that mouth of yours." Twitch but then take a breather. The ice breeze is still moving around. "One being because my niece would be upset, I hurt her one-time babysitter that she oddly got close too."

Niece? Then remember the way back and click. Right. The Yeti is Little Frogmouth uncle...So, they can't murder them. At least not in this situation. Why is she talking about them around him...Wait he still talking?

"-Furthermore-"

"Would slapping me make you feel better?"

"...What?"

"Granted were already even since your freeze me hand." Point at it. "But I'm getting a little tired of this spat fest. So, slap me, leave and go on your merry way Yeti."

Stare at him. "Is this. Am I getting prank on one those shows?"

"Do we look like the ones to have that kind of budget?"

Andrealphus looks down at the other one. Eyes still glowing as they narrow down in suspension. "A slap."

"That what I said."

"You won't try to dodge this?"

"I'm trying to dodge this conversation and move on."

"Well, at least you must know what disciplinary and punishment is after all."

"Are you going to do it or not?"

"Since you asked." Raise their hand up ready to slap them.

Can already picture it. He slaps those cheeks. Fall to the ground and would get another bruising from the impact. He would be smirking down at them to remind them who the stronger one of the pair. Who is at the bottom of the food chain? The weaker tone.

Why aren't they scared?

Twitch as he looks down at this little imp. The same look on their face that rarely changes the times they meet. They should be tensing up. Look at their hand wearily. Protect themselves. Maybe try to change their mind!

Nothing.

This imp just looking at them like they don't see them as a threat. No, respect.  This was the same imp who took a strike from Stella when she was about to smack Octavia.

This can't do. This isn't right. They need some kind of emotions, expression or anything!

The coldness and breeze suddenly left.

"Not today."

Eyebrow raise up with a questionable look.

"I'll slap you another time. So, remember that. Right now, I really should be off. I do have an important task I shouldn't have left unchecked." Pull their vest closer to their body and brush down the fur. "Just know you're the one who let me do it."

"You're one odd Yeti."

"Don't push it before I turn you into an ice statue. Won't that be painful if you shattered to pieces?" Turn around and start to head off. "See you another time imp."

Moxxie kept an eye on him even as they could see that the car drove far away from the distance. Look at their arms still in ice. Felt a hand on their shoulder.

"Let's go take care of that." Medea looked at the one sitting in the chair. "As much as I enjoyed our game. I better take care of them."

"Why of course I as well enjoyed it. Those thou need a hand?"

"No, we got this. Good day gentleman."

"You as well, enjoy your time here." Zestial stared at the pair of imp walk away while rubbing his chin. What an unexpected show he just watches. Such bravery, or stupidity, from these two to be surrounded by dangerous beings.

No, fear in the slightest.

It excites him.

He hopes to see either of the two again.

Moxxie slam the bone into ice. The ice cracks, then breaks apart to pieces and can see their hand now.

"Sure, let's just do it that way. A bit of blue around your finger but we can work on that."

"My snow cone frozen to my hand."

"I can see that."

"..."

"Moxxie you're not eating it this way. We are going to defrost your hand. Your snow cone will be chocolate soup instead."

"...Fine."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Done!

Well, well, well we got to see Andrealphus again and got to meet Moxxie again.

Zeestial you are deemed Scarecrow.

What will happen?

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye!
