'hmmm...money' Money can get you food? Why? What was so special about money? Food is more important, why would anyone give away food in exchange for money. Just trading items seemed to make alot more sense to Kona. It didnt really affect him anyway though, as he just hunted if he had trouble getting food.
Despite still being confused, he thanked Ren, afterall she had been nice enough to give him an answer. Getting a job sounded fun!
'I'd like a job' Though he wouldnt have any real use for the money afterwards, it would still give him something entertaining to do for the day.

Ren laughed softly to herself. He'd like a job? Sure, he'd say that if he never had one before. Some of them could be very hard or demanding. Sometimes, she couldn't find one and went the day without food.
"Sure, sure" she said as she walked along, finding herself back at the market. She kept an eye out of anything she could do, but she doubted that she could find a job today with Kona following her around with her dog ears and tail. Maybe she could find one later, but it didn't hurt to look.

Kona noticed her looking around, and mimiced her, looking about the market. To be honest though, he had no idea what he was actually looking for.
'Ren? How do you know where the jobs are hiding?' He walked beside her, glancing at the shop windows and various stalls. They already had people doing the jobs, but how would he know if they needed another person to help out? Not only this, but even if he did know, the looks people were giving him made it hard to approach anywhere.

"Well, I look around to see if anyone needs help" Ren said with a giggle about jobs 'hiding'. "And then I ask if I can help for a pay for doing so. But this place doesn't look like they need any help, so I guess I'm not getting a job today" she said with a sigh.
She stopped walking and looked around before pulling out a bag which held her money. She had about 79 gillah, which was enough to support her for a few days if she didn't eat much or slept outside.
"Do you have any money?" she asked, turning to Kona.

Kona tilted his head, and leaned over Ren, looking into the bag. Oh! He'd seen those funny little disks before, alot of people had them. They were shiny, and only important people had some. Ren must be really important to have so many little moneys.
'Money is pretty' He stated. Then, he checked the pockets on his own torn and dirty clothes. They were empty, as always, but he never didnt check. Who knows, maybe one day he'd find something hiding in there.
'No, no money, I'm not important, but i dont need it' He said, not at all feeling bad. 'Did you get that from jobs?' he asked, pointing at the bag she held.

"Yeah" Ren said, awnsering him, not knowing what he ment about not being important and not needing money. But, she decided to let it pass. "So, what do you usually do if you don't have any money?" she asked Kona. Did he sleep outside every night? If so, she couldn't picture herself doing so, also. She at least needed a roof above her head once in a while.

'I find my dog friends, they help me' Kona answered happily, as he always felt when refering to the other wild dogs. He loved them so; they were so much better at being nice to him than humans. Ren was nice too, but she didnt lick him or let him sleep beside her at night. Sleeping beside other Dingos was lovely; he loved their soft fur.
'I can hunt too!' he stated proudly. It was true, Kona was a good hunter, but only when he let his instinct take over, which was dangerous if other people were around. It was hard to tell who was prey and who wasnt, when he was hunting. 'Do you want me to hunt for you?' he asked. He'd never hunted for other people before. For some reason humans didnt like raw meat. They had a strange ritual of burning it first (yuck) and then eating it.

"Er...no thank you" Ren said. "But thank you for offering" she said, hoping she didn't hurt Kona's feelings by saying no. She'd hate to see him sad; he just looked so cute happy! And, she wasn't sure what he could hunt for in this town, and if he could, what would it be? She wasn't the type to take that sort of thing.

Kona's ears fell, but only for a second. 'Thats fine, you people dont seem to like what i eat anyway' Infact, he'd never seen another person eat dog food. He knew it was dog food, so it was for dogs, but still, it was really tastey. His mouth started watering. Maybe he could find some dog food with the money from this...job he was supposed to find somehow.
'Ren, do you have any dog food?' Now the thought was in his head, Kona only really fancied dog food. He decided to try and find some before the day was out.

Ren laughed. "No, I'm sorry, but I can buy some for you if you want" she offered. Not many people liked to eat dog food, but if someone liked it, it must mean that it is decent. She knew dog food wasn't that expensive, but she could spare some for Kona. She thought he deserved it, for some reason.

Kona actually barked in response, overly happy. Ren was really nice! She would get dog food for him! Kona chuckled and sighed, getting dizzy for some reason.
'Please!!' he said, using the most polite word he could think of. Please was a good word, he used it when talking to nice people. But,...getting dog food would mean ren would loose her precious money discs. 'But...what about the money?' Ren needed it more; she couldnt hunt or sleep outside. He wanted to change his mind and turn down the offer...........but decided he wanted the dog food too much, and couldnt choose between being nice, or being treated. He held his head; it was hurting.

"Don't worry. I have enough" Ren said. It wasn't like she was going to spend all of her money on dog food. She still needed a place for the night. She walked around the market a little while longer, looking for, not only a stall that sold dog food, but a job. Not finding a job, she quickly found a stall that sold food and materials for animals. She bought about a half a pound of dog food, given to her in a plastic bag, and handed it to Kona.
"There 'ya go" she said, putting up her money. "Now I just have to find a cheap room..." she mumbled to herself, walking off to find a hotel for the night.

Kona yelped with joy, ignoring the strange looks he was recieving from the person who'd just sold Ren the food. Opening the bag carefully, he took out a piece and started nibbling. The flavour was stronge and released all at once, almost sending him on a trip. Shaking his head in a daze, he took another piece. Kona had forgotten how much he loved dog-food.
'Thankyou Ren!' he said with his mouth full. He giggled to himself, but was silenced when she mumbled something. 'If you cant find a room, you can sleep with me' he offered innocently, tilting his head and still munching.
((XD kona gets high on dogfood and wants to sleep with her, oh noes!!!! haha kidding, its not like that, you know))

"Er...you're welcome and...thanks" Ren said, not really knowing what he ment by sleeping with him. Did he mean, like, join him with sleeping outside somewhere. But if he was sleeping outside, did that mean he had found a comphay (ugh! I cant spell!) space somewhere in this town? If so, she wouldn't mind sharing it with him if it saved her some money.
"So where are you staying, Kona?" she asked him.

His face lit up, still finding it amazing that she was that interested in him. No-one normally cared what he did, but she was asking, so she must atleast want to know. You didnt ask unless you wanted the answer, right?
'I dont know, wherever the dogs go. I'm not in charge' The wild dogs actually considered Kona a bit of an Omega, basically lower than the others, because of his human side, but he didnt know that. They were just his friends.
'But i dont have to go with them, i can stay with you, if you want' Atleast she'd be safe with him; Kona would never hurt her, and he'd make sure no-one else did either.
