"Really? I haven't had a bed in awhile, I usually just sleep in some river during the night and keep moving around during the day. I haven't had a fixed campsight ever since I got my +anima." Maby it would be comfortable to sleep in a bed, though maby not as comfortable as floating, weightless in a small pond or river. "Maby we should head in, it is getting kinda dark." Yuuta said, staring up at the twilight sky. He was pretty tired from his everyday schedule of hunting, running, and surviving and he wanted to see what a bed was like again. Yuuta got up off the ground and wqalked toward the door of the inn. "hey, ya comin?" he said as he opended the door and walked up to the room.

A river? Sleeping in one? Really? Age was surprised, but, then again, Yuuta was a crocodile. It should only be expected, after all. "Oh, right." His thoughts were cut off as Yuuta was already headed toward the inn. Pulling on his pants (before removing his towel, of course), Age quickly followed Yuuta to the inn, shirt draped over his arm.
"Here, it's this way!" Age announced, heading past Yuuta and leading the way. Arriving shortly at his door, he inserted the key into the lock, opening the door. It revealed a simple room, with a couch, a desk, and two beds. Age's pack already lay on one of the beds, and his sword lay next to it.
Age headed for his bed, plopping down on it as he pulled on his shirt.

Yuuta looked around the room, as if studying it. And, looking to reach a conclusion, he ran in and jumped on a bed, quickly loving the feeling of sleeping on feathers and cloth. He flipped over and stared at the ceiling. "So, you just go around and talk to other +anima like me? What are some of the +anima you've run into?" It was certainly interesting to run into a person with such a goal as this, especially the means by which he was achieving it. Yuuta thought that it was good that this person wasn't like the rumored scientists who captured +anima and carved them up to find out what biological secrets their bodies held.

Age thought a moment, recalling past, and some unpleasant, experiences with +Anima. "Well, let's see... There was a snow leopard named Ryker... Umm... A butterfly named Izumi..." There were quite a few more, and he grabbed his notebook, flipping through the pages. "A wildcat, though she didn't give me her name... I met her in Sailand, actually, and I'm surprised I got away without her ripping out my throat. She threatened too, more than once."
Flipping back to later entries, Age continued. "A bird +Anima named Xelha... A pair of twin foxes... And then a whale, the first ever +Anima I met." He closed his notebook, smiling slightly. "There's more, but we'd be here awhile if we decided to list them. I've been researching +Anima since I was six." Actually, since his mentor had died, would be more accurate. Well, not died. Just... vanished.

"Wow, that's a long time." Yuuta said, knowing the feeling of losing someone but knoing that you could still find them. "Maby we should go to sleep, we can probably head out in the morning." Yuuta said, stretching out and yawning. He fell sleep instantly, lying face down in the pilow and snoring slightly.

Age blinked, slightly surprised. Dang, that kid conked out fast! Smiling to himself, Age took his bag off of his bed, and put his sword underneath his pillow. The pillows here were nice and soft, so he wouldn't be able to feel it. Taking off his bandanna, and hanging it on the bedpost, Age slipped underneath the covers, into bed.
Closing his eyes gently, Age lay there, waiting for sleep to come upon him. Soon, the world was black as he was asleep, on his back.

The next morning Yuuta awoke early. noticing Age was still asleep Yuuta walked out of the room and left the city, looking for something to eat. After a period of time Yuuta returned, a small raccoon held in his hand. He sat down in the corner of the room and started to pull small chunks of meat from the bones and eat them. Yuuta liked meat, alot, and loved to have it early in the morning. Paying no mind to the world around him, he started thinking about other days when he had simply gotten up and had meat for breakfast, which had been almost every day except for ones when he didn't find food. Yuuta had no knowledge of which fruits were poisonous or not, so he didn't bother with them.

Hearing noises, Age slowly blinked his eyes opened. What? Wait, there was someone in his room? Who? Snapping upright, and drawing his sword, Age held it out in front of him, ready to fight, before realizing it was Yuuta. "God, you scared me!" he announced, sheathing his sword, and sitting back. The previous day's events came back to him.
Seeing Yuuta eating some kind of meat, Age frowned, not understanding what it was. "Umm... Yuuta, what are you eating?" Not something Age had ever eaten. And it was raw.

"Raccoon." Yuuta said inocently, still taking bites out of the meat. Now that Age was back up they could leave and continue the interview from the previous day. putting the corpse inbetween his jaws, Yuuta stood up and started towards the door. "Ready to head out?" He said before opening the door and continuing out of the inn, getting strange looks from everybody around. As the two continued out of the city Yuuta turned to age and asked "So what else do you want to talk to me about?" Yuuta said between mouthfulls of meat

Racoon... Shuddering inwardly, Age got his stuff together, he himself eating some dried fruit for breakfast. Following behind Yuuta, Age frantically scribbled in his notebook, writing down everything that he had learned yesterday, and not yet gotten a chance to record. With his sword now belted to his waist, and his cloak pulled on, Age was ready.
Answering Yuuta's question, Age frowned slightly. "Well, what's happened since you became a +Anima? What about before?" He smiled. "Sort of your life story, I guess."

"Short and simple, before i was happily with my family, nothing special happening, and when i got it i just went around surviving from day to day. I did spend a short time in sailand with another +anima named Gariel, but that's a long story." Yuuta was walking ahead in no particular direction, just wanted to keep moving.

Age quickly wrote down every word the boy said, though it was quite like many other stories he'd heard. Still, every word was more information he could pool about +Anima. In fact, he was even thinking about writing a book about them. Haven almost forgotten, he quickly jotted down the name of the place where he met Yuuta. That was also good information.
"So you've been to Sailand?" Age asked, keepin pace beside the boy, with pencil and notebook at the ready. "What was it like? And who's Gariel? Long stories are okay."

"Sailand's okay, but theres not many rivers or lakes and my scales get dry." Yuuta said "And Gariel is another +anima I met while I was there. I found him when I...Attacked a slave caravan. He's basically the one that stopped me from doing something even stupider. Gariel also saved me from a couple of slavers after they managed to capture me." Yuuta was grateful to Gariel for getting him out of so many messes. "When I got captured he was able to trick the slave owner that had bought me and help me escape. I still have a scar on my leg from where I got hit with an arrow." Yuuta paused before lifting up his pantleg revealing a small scar in the back of his leg. "Anyway, this slavers name was Feras, a really bad guy." Yuuta was still walking and he bent over to inspect a small stone with strange markings on it. he picked it up and slipped it into his pocket.

Age listened to the story, with slightly wide eyes, scribbling it down in his notebook. When the lead in his pencil broke, Age almost cursed, but held his tongue, snatching another pencil out of his pocket, and continuing.
"Do you know what kind of +Anima Gariel is? Did you manage to save some +Anima from the slave caravan? What was so bad about Feras?" Realizing what he had said, Age quickly backed up his last question. "I mean, he was a slaver and all, but what made him Really bad?" The questions came rolling out of Age's mouth, and he had his pencil poised, ready to frantically scribble down some more words. He had never had such a cooperative +Anima before! This was the most he had ever gotten!

Yuuta was in a good mood after the day at the bathes and wasn't in his usual secluded mod. Age was the first person he felt like he could open up to in a long time. "Gariel was a parrot, and he was really generous." Yuuta said "And yes while we were in Sailand we freed all the +anima that had been captured by those slavers, though I'm not sure if they re-captured any, that would be sad. For your third question, Feras was very selfish and didn't care much for anybody else. He tried to enslaved me for lot's of money, he thought my +anima would be really useful to richer folk. Heck, he even thought about enslaving gariel!"
