ZAVIER
The moment the gates opened it stopped being quiet. It exploded, people turned, paused and then stared.
"Is that-?"An older lady gasped.
"That hair-"Another one gasped.
"The eyes-"Someone else whispered. "The rings..."
"I DO NOT LIKE BEING PERCEIVED." Riko whispered aggressively.
"You are always perceived." Ben replied.
"I AM PERCEIVED TOO MUCH."Riko said.
"You are loud." Leo added.
"I HAVE PRESENCE."Riko frowned.
"You have noise." Ben corrected.
"I ACCEPT."Riko said.
"Stop." Everyone said.
The guard who greeted us stepped forward.
"Make way!" He shouted.
That made it worse, now everyone was moving, but not randomly they parted like they already knew. Flower petals, fell from nowhere.
"WHY ARE THERE PETALS?" Riko panicked.
"Celebration." Leo said.
"I DID NOT APPROVE THIS." I added.
"You are not consulted." Ben said.
"I WOULD LIKE TO BE CONSULTED."Riko tried again.
"You won't be." Leo added.
"I ACCEPT."Riko said.
