Ethan nodded and took Lights' hand. "But I can't act like I'm pointedly avoiding him. That would be suspicious." He glanced around at all the muggles going about their business. Even they seemed like they were in a hurry. "Come along, we have work to get to," he said with a smile, gently tugging on Lights' hand. As they made their way out of the shop, Ethan turned around the corner of the building slowly, making sure that Dean was out of sight. Life had just gotten harder for Ethan. And now he had even more reason to try to transfer to MLE if Dean knew about Trystan. That could come another day, though. He was sure that someone needed the best maintenance employee the Ministry had to offer (in his own mind he was). So he took a few quick steps and glanced at his watch. They were late. "Run," he prompted with a grin to his wife.

Lights grinned back. "Race," she challenged, running ahead, but slowing down a bit to tell Ethan something as it popped into her head. "By the way, there's a lot of debris in the Atrium, after that fight with those cultists. You may want to check it out." She winked then put on a burst of speed to get there first. Lights couldn't resist a challenge.

Roxanne hurried into the convenience store to buy a few quick groceries. Usually, she would've gone to the larger market closer to her place, but curiosity had gotten the best of her. As she slowly pushed her cart down an aisle, she came to the conclusion that the place was quite… charming in it's smallness.

As she was bending down to grab a box of cereal, she suddenly lost her balance and went head over tea kettle to the floor! "Damn!" Blushing, she pulled herself up off the floor and searched for what had caused her sudden crashing to the floor. She was finding it rather hard to keep standing, though, due to some pain in her ankle.

Finally, time to go home!

Junichiro stopped to a convenience store outside the ministry to buy some needs for him and his two siblings. He took his cellphone and saw the shopping list that he must buy. Two box of cornflakes, a bottle of coke, chips, two bottles of milk, toothbrushes, toothpastes, a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter. Since Ichigo and Yuzu decided to live in his apartment, He need to buy more than usual. Huft.

While he looked for peanut butter and cornflakes, suddenly Jun noticed that there was a woman fell to the floor and tried to stand up.

"Excuse me, Are you okay?" He asked

Roxanne had just discovered what exactly had made her fall (the broken heel on her shoe), when she heard someone ask if she was okay. She blushed an even deeper red and nodded. "I think so." She tested her ankle by taking a step and felt pain shoot up her leg. "Or not." She reached down and rubbed her now throbbing ankle. And was it swelling?

He noticed on that woman who fell down because of.. the broken heel. Merlin, if it was dangerous, why Women loved to wear those.. things? That's why Jun never understood women's brain except...

Oh, why I must think about her again?

The woman tried to stand up, but she couldn't, Maybe her ankle was hurt. "Are you sure?" Jun just kept cool, stood up while he put his hands on his pocket.

She stood and tried to walk, but her ankle just hurt to much. "No, actually I think I sprained my ankle." She cursed her decision to wear those particular heels. They'd always given her trouble, but they were the only ones that went with this outfit. And, of course, her luck with them had finally run out.

Speaking of which… "Could you help me out here. Probably should get this checked out at St. Mungo's and I can't really walk on this ankle…" Much less apparate.

What did the woman say? She need to check out at St. Mungo's only for a little sprain? This woman was so royal so she could spend out her money just for recover her sprain.

"It's just a sprain, right?" said him cold. "You don't need to go to St. Mungo's just because a sprain." Later Jun left her, he walked to the deposit counter to take something from his bag, an analgesic cream. Then he back to her.

"So, do you let me to fix this?" he sat beside her, tried to recover her sprain with his cream.

What?! She didn't need to go St. Mungo's? Roxanne raised an eyebrow at that. And why was he so cold all sudden? Yeesh, typical thing, going to at the very least a doctor for a sprain. She watched as the walked off. Well, okay then.

Oh, a cream. Why hadn't she thought of that? It was like she'd forgotten that she was in the magical world, even after a year of living here! Boy, she really felt stupid now! "Yes, please." She stuck the injured ankle out so that it be easier for him to apply the cream. "I lived amongst muggles so long that I kinda forget I'm in the magical world sometimes." It was meant to mean that she wasn't completely stupid, but probably had the opposite effect. Oh well. "Say, what's your name?" A way to get topic off her own sillyness.

Jun didn't talk much while he was busy to help the woman. He put the analgesic cream on her ankle and rubbed it.

"It will be hurt much." said him cold. Jun gave a hard massage to her ankle. Luckily, he had ever learned about how to cure the sprain when he still learned Karate in Yokohama.

"CRACK.."

"OW! What in heavens name was THAT about!" Jeez, she really should have insisted on going to St. Mungo's! She would've been on crutches for awhile, but at least it would hurt less! She pulled her ankle out of his grasp and held it to where she was balancing on one foot. She was afraid to put any weight on it. What if it was broken?

Jun didn't hear what that the woman grumbled, he still focused on his massage. Actually this woman just had an ordinary sprain.

"So, how do you feel now?" he asked cold.

Roxanne put her foot down and tested her ankle. "Actually, it feels better. Thank you." Now there was just the matter of fixing her shoe, which she could do herself. She held the broken off heel up to the sole and cast a mumbled "Reparo." It would be weak and she'd never be able to wear the shoes again, but at least she'd be able to get home. "Seriously, thank you." She smiled then.

Alright. Time to buy some portkeys. And the easiest place to do that was the convenience store. There was a little bit of everything. Maybe he'd go with a used coffee mug, some toiletries, and a random magizine. That's what he usually brought back to be turned into portkeys.

He glanced around before turning toward his boss. "Anything in particular we're looking for today? Or just the usual?"

Okay. Rose walked into the muggle store, hoping to buy a few objects that would be made into portkeys. Hm. What to buy?

"Just the usual." Rose responded with her eyes were fixated on a blue-colored coffee mug. It was pretty. She picked it up before showing it to Jayden. "What do you think?"

Jayden followed her over to a blue coffee mug. He took it from her and looked it over. "We'd have to dirty it up before hand." he said handing it back. "Looking like this someone might try picking it up."

And that would be bad.

That's why he preferred bringing in random toiletries. He'd like to see random muggles pick up a box of tampons. They made the perfect portkey.

"Of course." Rose agreed as she started to walk down the aisle. Obviously, a muggle would be bound to pick up a bright colored mug like that. She continued to walk down the aisle and picked up a toothbrush from the shelf.

"How about this?" A toothbrush was not that big and the chances of it being picked up by a muggle were quite small.

Jayden continued to follow Rose around. Every now and then he picked up an item and set it back on the shelves. You just never knew what a muggle would be tempted to pick up.

Or maybe it was just him. He was just one of those guys that was overly curious. He could picture at least one scenario of a muggle picking up nearly every item in the store.

Except a toothbrush. "Nice spot." he said with a nod. He then picked up a bar of soap. He couldn't imagine a muggle picking up a bar of soap either.

Or a hairbrush.

He's said it once, and he'll say it again. Toiletries were definitely the way to go.

Rose nodded. She picked up a couple of toothbrushes and walked around the store, trying to find objects that are unlikely to be picked up by a muggle.

"You know.." Rose started softly, with a giggle. "It would be incredibly funny if a muggle happened to pick up a portkey, don't you think?"

She picked up a hairbrush. Hm. Yeah. A hairbrush was alright..a muggle would hardly pick it up...right?

Jayden chuckled. "You know. I've always wondered that. I guess it doesn't really matter though if it's a timed portkey."

But if it was the kind that worked with the first person that touched them...

"Do the portkeys have muggle repelling charms on them too?" he asked looking at some socks. Because if they were making non-timed ones, they should look into that. Of course, he wasn't involved in putting the spells on.

"How many things do we need?" he asked deciding that the socks were a pretty safe option.

Georgie watched her boss and the co-worker, find objects and discuss them,
Georgie wanted to impress her boss, and looked on shelves for something that she wouldn't pick up off the street, let alone a muggle.
She saw a tatty glove..
" Hey, how about this?" Georgie picked up the glove and showed it to her boss, with a questioning look on her face.

Ashley walked into the muggle convenience store with Dia in tow. She had been in here not two hours ago so she navigated the aisles like a pro, checking to see that Dia was behind here every so often.

When they arrived to the small section where there were various children's items, Ashley reached for the package of temporary tattoos. Sure, they were small but they would still do the job, at least for the moment. Realizing that each package had different things inside, Ashley turned to her-well, they were kind of friends now, yeah? Turning to her newest friend, she held up various packages. "So what do you think, a green dragon breathing fire or a skull with roses?"

Natalia Tarasova walked into the muggle convenience store, strutting confidently along the passing by muggles. Did she feel uncomfortable around them? Not really, but sometimes if they looked at her too long she thought they might have caught on.

She walked over to the shelf where they had popcorn and decided on which one to buy. There was butter popcorn, unsalted popcorn, cheese popcorn, and ...KETTLE CORN. Yes, she was definitely getting kettle corn.

Sylvie was HUNGRY. Even though all she had to do was apparate when she was sure no one was looking to her aparment in Oxford, she needed food now okay? Twas her first day working for the Ministry of Magic and she didn't want to look like a pig infront of her co-workers. ...So she had only eaten a blueberry muffin and drank a coffee at lunch. Sylvie perched a shopping basket on the crook of her arm, flicked back her blond hair and walked down the aisle - her flats somehow found away to click on the tiled floor depite the fact that there wasn't even a small heal on the shoe.

Already she had pot noodles, a big bar of chocolate and a big bottle of coke in the basket but needed something else. Now what was it? Oh yeah... POPCORN. Sylvie smirked and picked up her pace to the popcorn aisle slash shelf. There was already a woman there (probably a muggle *eyeroll*) who could seem to make up her mind ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF POPCORN TO GET?!?!

Sylvie sniffed in annoyance and snatched a packet of butter popcorn from the shelf and dropped it in her basket.

"Ze butter popcorn is good."

Hair flick.

As Natalia was deciding on what popcorn to get, she watched as a hand reached out in front of her and snatched one of the butter popcorns. She looked over at the woman and listened as she said the butter popcorn was good. "I'm a bit more of a kettle corn fan, if I say so myself." She shrugged, glancing back over at the kettle corn and grabbing a box that contained three packages. Microwave popcorn was the second best to movie popcorn of course. "If you don't mind me asking, I hear your accent; where are you from?" She asked, watching as the woman flicked her hair.

Usually Natalia didn't judge a person just by the first time they meet them, but for some reason this woman was coming off...not right to her. She tried to think about it as she waited for the woman's answer.
