"And put others through what i have, no. but....hmm....you didn't fight back, why not?" He asked, curiously. He walked in between both of the siblings, muttering. "The money i have....Its not alot, but...i guess i wouldn't mind buying some food..." He stomach growled to confirm this.

Mouse grinned. "Actually, I was planning on slicing off your hand, and Shark was gonna nail you in the head, and he's got hands made of metal, mind you, but we don't fight +Anima." She nodded, as if agreeing with her own words. "Humans, yes, but never fellow +Anima. I mean, most +Anima, well, besides the ones in our gang, have it TOUGH. Why the hell would we want to make it harder on them?"
Shark nodded, agreeing. "And, that reminds me, Austin." He narrowed his eyes at the boy. "Would you like to join our gang of +Anima? We have many in it, almost a hundred."

Austin stoped for a moment. Join them? but why? He didn't exactly like the idea of being with partners, seeing as he prefered solo travels, but still. if he refused, they would attack him right? He thought for a moment, crossing his arms, looking to his long shadow on the ground, "I dunno...." he muttered, thinking deeply. Join, and travel with these two um...what word could best describe them.....odd fellows. or not join and be threatened for money. Either way, he knew a fight would be in store.
"....No" He finally answered, looking up to shark.

Mouse frowned, a sad look on her face. "Why not? You get a cool new name, and no matter what you'll always get fed. You'll get to become part of our big family, and I'm sure Snake would like you, and you'll be with a whole bunch of other +Anima, which is really fun, and-" she was cut off abruptly as Shark hit her on the head. "Ow! That hurt!" She rubbed the spot, sticking out her tongue at her older brother.
"Mouse." Shark spoke, adressing her. "If he doesn't want to join, he doesn't have to. It's his choice, although..." His head turned toward Austin. "You do realize it is much safer to travel in packs. Get caught, and the entire gang will be uprooted, searching for you until we find you." He paused, before continuing. "However, it is your choice."

Plonking his hands hands into his pockets, he lightened up, and gave a smile, "I'll tell you an idea i have. I'll be a side member of the group, basically, if your around, ill help you if your in trouble, and likewsie for you. But, I'm not nailed down to staying in one group. I prefer travelling solo guys..." He told, his voice calm, but had a tone of thingyiness near the end. This was starting to sound annoying. This kid was trying to say, he wasn't good enough for the group.

Shark shook his head sharply. "No. You're part of the gang, or not. There's no compromises, or half parts." He paused, before continuing. "I think you misunderstand, though. We have two main bases, one in Asteria, one in Sailand. That's where most of the +Anima stay. However, we also have traveling groups, that will get orders on what to do, via message. Mouse and I are one of those groups." He narrowed his eyes slightly. "You may travel in groups, pairs, or solos, if you want to be one of those groups."
Mouse nodded, agreeing with her older brother. "Uh-huh! And, you'll get paid for every job you do, though you'll eventually have to stop at one of the main bases to talk to the leaders. You can get promoted to higher levels, harder jobs, and better rewards! We're the top members of the gang, besides the founder and leader Snake. So, whatcha think now? Sound interesting at all?"

Austin raised his hand to the bottom of his chin, looking at the sky as he processed this information. Yeah, it sounded cool, but it wasn't that it vaired on. He rarely showed signs of team work, or respect to superiors. I mean really, Who would like being told what to do. He stood there for a moment or so, just confused on what his answer should be.
"Guys, i really dunno what to say" The boy answered, letting out a small sigh, and a pitiful shrug. "Yeah the getting out of trouble thing sounds extremely helpful, but i dont do orders. I roll by my own rules, i get my own money, and i go where i like. Its not that i dont wanna be a member you know. but...." He looked up to the sky, then thought back. "You said a guy called snake right? did he used to live in kilter? Go to a family with lots of crops on the outskirts?" He questioned. Why did he ask these questions, and why were they relevent?

The pair blinked, surprised by the last three questions. Mouse shook her head. "We dunno where Snake is or where he's from. He's our leader, and we follow him. He's the one that picked us up from the gutters where he found us." She shrugged. "We don't tell him our pasts, and he doesn't tell us his. It works fine."
Shark nodded, agreeing. "You don't argue with Snake. If we wanted too, we could easily destroy him. But there's something about him..." He shook his head. "Anyway, if you don't want to join the gang, then we won't force you." He put a hand on Mouse's shoulder. "Come on, Mouse. We're not forcing him."

"Well, if your going, you need to tell me one last thing...." Uttered the boy, grinning a little, "If you didnt stick to your morals, do you think you could take me on?" He said, a thingyy voice to follow suit.
Why was this boy wanting to fight? was it a test? See if he could fight the two on his own. or did he wanna prove something much more than that. "Listen, i know you dont want to fight, but i just need to know. If you two can take out this snake guy, and i take you out, does that mean im better than this guy huh? well?" Something wasnt right here. this boy was sounding stanger and stanger, ever since his +anima mark was active. could it be taking over his common sence?

Shark turned around, narrowing his eyes at the younger boy. "Yes, I do believe we could take you out. However, we stick to our morals. They and Snake are the only two laws we bend to. So, we will not get a chance to test this out, although you would almost certainly be soundly defeated."
Mouse piped up. "And if you're a pretty good fighter, you could probably defeat Snake. He's not the awesomest fighter ever, but that's not what being a leader is all about. He knows how to talk, and how to command, and he's very strategic and organized." She grinned. "And if you went by fighting abilities, then we'd be in charge! And that probably wouldn't turn out too good!"
Shark hit his younger sister on the head once more. "Mouse. Cut it out."

The boy changed for this thingyy minor, and gave the two a smile, "It's about time." he chuckled, and patted mouse on the shoulder, "I was wondering whether or not you knew what a leader was. but thats gone now." He stepped back and looked to the sky.
"Now what...." He asked, almost looking to the stars as a guide.

Mouse stuck her tongue out at the boy. "Course I know what a good leader is. God." She sighed. "Life's not all about fighting, unfortunately."
Shark protectively put his hand on his sister's shoulder, right where the boy had put his before. "We shall take our leave then, Austin. Perhaps we shall meet again, or perhaps not." With that, he turned around, his sister by his side. "Let the Creators guide you, Austin, wherever you go."

The boy sighed out, and kicked the ground softly, "Wait up...." he muttered as he walked over to the pair. "....I think i will join...." He said, almost as if he had said something wrong. was it guilt playing with his mind?
"Can i come with you?"

Shark and Mouse turned around quickly, Mouse's eyes surprised, and Shark's just as hostile as ever. "Really?" asked Mouse excitedly, dancing from foot to foot. "You mean the R mission wasn't a waste! Yes!"
Her older brother abruptly hit her on the top of her head. "Mouse. Don't let your tongue get loose." Shark turned his gaze to the young boy. "What made you change your mind, Austin?" His eyes narrowed slightly. "We didn't say anything that should've convinced you."

He looked up at him, and smiled a little, "I...I...I felt guilty about what i did and said. And to be honest....I was bluffing about the travelling alone" His eyes looked to mouse, and raised an eyebrow, "R mission?" He asked, highly curious.
