what if Flan an alcoholic

With the food in her belly and the sweet juices coursing through her powerful vampire veins Flan was energetic for the hidden market. You didn't know the details but a goddess of the markets had been recently empowered and along with her resurrection humans and youkai alike were reaping the benefit of the special markets cropping up wherever there was civilization. Flan was holding your hand humming a peculiar song as she was nearly skipping in excitement at the prospect of something as simple as taking in the sights and sounds of a market. The road you were on was dark as it was only a dirt path and reflected little of the moons light but flan wasn't slowed in the slightest not caring even if she kicked up dirt onto her own dress.

The market itself was situated on the edge of the bad side of the village though the residents of this shady part of the village knew better then wonder around this hour of the night after even the rowdiest of drinking halls closed for the night and aside from some passerbyers and the occasional passed out drunk in an alley you were alone on the road. That is until the reached the market, dim lanterns lined the stalls to indicate that they were open for business but barely even lit up the interior of the stands and stalls much less the walkways where a crowd shuffled by. The stall owners didn't hold back their voices, most were clearly youkai and shouted their deals like any normal market despite the dark of the night having no fear of being discovered.

Flans eyes went wide at the sight of the youkai peddling their various goods, the sounds of deals being made and haggled over, and the delicious smell of the foods being sold and expertly prepared that tempted you even though your belly was satisfied. "Look look anon!" Flan still holding your hand used it like a leash as she leaned out pointing at what intrested her but not breaking the fragile link between you, "That place has toys too! and that one has dresses! Can I get that? I really wanna see that necklace over there!". Flan was overjoyed as with a simple nod you walked over to what looked like an ordinary old man as he spoke up, "Oh... I see the young miss knows a good piece of art when she sees one! That one over here was crafted by a good friend of mine..." Flan's eyes sparkled only halfway listening to the old man as she looked over the various pieces of jewelry eventually settling on a fine necklace made of copper with a purple gem in the center piece.

Flan proudly displayed the necklace on her neck and your wallet felt a good bit lighter but your heart was jumping with joy at the almost painful grip she had your hand in and the smile that shone as bright as a full moon. Nobody got in your way in the market, even as the crowds increased and congested the area the crowds parted as you two walked in your little world, the mixed crowd of various youkai undoubtedly felt the threat radiating from Flan despite her happy mood. The both of you eventually relaxed on a bench enjoying the atmosphere of the market as the night grew its darkest and your mouth felt a bit dry, "Lady Flandre would you like some juice? I'm not sure about you but my throats getting dry." Flan thought for a second before saying, "ummm, yeah I want some juice too! here let Flan get it!" she hopped up onto her feet with here eyes shining and hands extended you responded, "Its find my lady its my job after!" but Flan was insistent, "Its okay, I really wanna buy it myself, Flan can do it!". You gave in quickly to those puppy dog eyes and handed a few coins to Flan and with a word of, "be careful now and don't pay more then the sign says!" you watched the childlike scarlet vampire disappear beyond a bend and the press of the crowd.

You were a bit worried... for any fool that accosts Flan anyways... but you were happy to indulge her modest wishes and as you mentally kept track of how long she's been away a familiar voice sang out to you, "Oh, is it you Anon-kun?". You turned your head to see a familiar head, several actually, Sekibanki appeared with a extra head or two in tow and walked up to you, "I've barely seen you since you started working at that mansion, how've you been?". She smiled as she asked, you've been friends with Banki ever since you've lived in the village, you two meeting properly after you found her hanging out with her friends at the misty lake while you were fishing and hit it off.

You two got to chatting, it was genuinely fun catching up with your old friend but you forgot to keep track of time and you felt a cold piercing gaze on you as Flan emerged. Sekibanki must have felt it too as she suddenly clammed up as one of her heads burst into ribbons, Flan spoke without visible emotion as the market quieted down around you feeling the bloodlust in the air, "Leave or i'll have to break you". Banki not missing a beat ran off making herself scarce and Flan took up her place at your side on the bench, saying nothing as she sat by you.
