"Hah money, that's a good one." Yuuta said, looking at Gariel "Why would I have a need for money when I've lived outside in the wild all my life?" Yuuta had spent most of his life alone afterall "Maby I Have some trinkets we can sell though. I sometimes find them while I'm hunting." He said, rummaging around in his pockets for something of value "ah, here it is!" He exclaimed, pulling out a small golden ball covered in many gems "I found it one time when I was near the ocean."

'May i?' Gariel asked, before taking the small treasure. It looked lovely, and he stared at it with his wide green eyes. No...there was no need to sell this. 'Do not worry, i have enough for the both of us'. Yuuta lived out, in the wild. That was somewhat sad. Gariel was alone, but he still mingled with humans, and had to pay for services like other people. He couldnt cope with living in the wild. 'Dont you get lonely? Is it not hard, living like that?' Gariel walked on, scanning the buildings for a shop or something whilst awaiting his answer.

"Yeah, but it's okay. sometimes other reptiles come to keep me company, though they don't like to talk much." Yuuta said, looking down at his feet. "Hey is that a shop over there?" he questioned. It was somewhat small but had some people walking in and out of it. "maby I could just go out and hunt, I wouldn't want you to waste your money on me." Now that the angery feelings had subsided and his mind wasn't thinking about fighting, Yuuta was showing a more polite nature

Gariel smiled, and reached out to ruffle Yuuta's hair, not caring that they were about the same age. 'You're a nice one, you know, when you're not fighting' he said. Closing his eyes, Gariel shifted out of +anima, getting rid of the wings so as not to startle anyone (or get himself caught by slave traders). 'It wont be a waste'. Silently he moved in the direction of the supposed 'shop' that Yuuta had pointed out, with the boy close at his side. 'I havent had a hot meal in a while...'

Yuuta walked along side Gariel towards the store. "I always just eat the meat, I don't think that I ever cooked..." He said,voice trailing off thinking "Ah, yes when I was still human My mom used to make delicious soup! Though that was a long time ago and I can't remember the taste, all I know is that I loved it!" It was certainly very nice to have someone to talk to after such a long time. Yuuta just wanted to tell a bunch of stories about his previous life, but felt this wasn't the time for it

'I dislike meat....i prefer fruits and berries' Gariel produced some grapes from his trouser pockets. They were a lovely deep purple colour, very delicious, but hardly the meal he was after. Still....nice to snack on once in a while. He offered a few to Yuuta. 'Want one?' Maybe Yuuta never ate anything other than meat. A strange diet, Gariel thought, he himself couldnt live without an apple once in a while. If Yuuta liked soup, and apparently had been deprived of it for a while, then soup they would get. Soup was pretty cheap anyway, and warming, and tastey!

"Yeah sure" Yuuta said before taking one of the berries and popping it into his mouth. To him it had more of a sour taste with a little bit of sweetness mixed in. Yuuta shrugged, he sorta liked them and it pobably wouldn't be the last it time he ate one. "We should hurry before it closes." Yuuta said rushing into the store and dragging Gariel with him. Gazing around he saw some large slabs of meat that made his mouth drool. He also saw some bins filled with fruit and a pot cooking behind the counter with some steam rising from it. "And how could I help you." The Shopkeeper said from behind the counter staring at the two.

Gariel faced the shopkeeper, a short man who seemed somewhat suspicious of the two. Maybe because they looked a bit shabby...afterall they were pretty much homeless. Still, Gariel gave him a warm look, and bowed his head in respect. 'Hello kind sir, we're seeking soup today, have you any you might sell to us?'
The man seemed shocked by the politeness in his tone, and stared at Gariels flawless face. Then after a while, he nodded, and allowed them a smile. 'Of course, vegetable is the special today, fresh and hot, or perhaps you'd fancy cress? or maybe chicken?' he said, regarding Yuuta, who was eyeing the meat. Gariel asked Yuuta 'You'd prefer the meat one, yes?'

"Yes, that would be good." Yuuta said, snapping out of his meat induced trance (lol) He walked up to Gariel and wispered to him "This guy doesn't seem to approve of us. maby we should leave as soon as we gat our food." He said glancing over at the shopkeeper. At that second a soldier burst into the shop and ran up to the counter "We've been attacked and all the slaves have escaped!" he shouted "We are looking for the ones that did it and your town is in the area it happened. Might you have seen a boy with colorful wings and a half-crocodile?" He continued, holding up 2 rough sketches of Yuuta's and Gariel's +anima forms. Luckily they didn't resemble them much, but if the soldiers were looking for them they needed to find a hiding place fast.

Gariel gave Yuuta a side-ways glance and nodded, paying no attention to the guard that had just burst in. Instead, he waited patiently for his order, which didnt take long. The guard was staring at the two, with a peculiar expression on his face. Eventually, Gariel decided this was rude, and turned to him. 'Staring isnt nice' he commented. It worked, the man apologised, but he didnt seem to mean it. The store-owner produced two steaming bowls, and Gariel handed him the money, thanking him. He gave one bowl to yuuta, and with his own, walked to the door. The man stopped them.
'Hey! You two, kids, you seen anything like what i just described?' he asked, somewhat intimidatingly. Gariel frowned; he hated that that man had just referred to them as 'things', but he didnt let it show.

Yuuta took his bowl of soup and glared at the gaurd but said politely. "No we haven't seen anyBODY like that." He wasn't very good at hiding his emotions and he had put emphasis on body just to correct the gaurd. "C'mon Gariel we should probably get going" he said before opening the door and leaving with his friend. As soon as they were out of earshot he looked at Gariel "what do we do now? obviously they've gone to some towns already looking for us and they're going to take US as slaves as soon as they figure it out." This was a bad situation and it wasn't going to get much better, for Yuuta failed to notice some horsemen riding up in the distance

Gariel stuck his nose up when Yuuta gave a suitable reply to the guard, and they both walked in the other direction. Yuuta sounded worried, but Gariel was quite the opposite. He leant forward over his bowl, scooping some neatly into his mouth. It was good! More so than he expected. He obviously hadnt realised before just how hungry he was. 'Eat your soup, Yuuta, it will make you feel better' he said firmly, then went to sit at a bench. Only after he'd finished a good amount did he refer to the boys other question.
'I understand your worry, but sit, eat, we're not in any danger right now' he said happily, but just as Gariel went to take another mouthful, some noisy horsemen trampled past, and surrounded the bench. Gariel put his bowl down, but kept his eyes closed, appearing unafraid. 'Dont over-react, remember, fighting is a sin' he whispered.

Yuuta nodded to Gariel but still looked angry at the gaurds, he also sat down on the bench and started to eat his own soup as well. Wow! it was good, and warm, something Yuuta hadn't been able to experience in awhile. "Why are you surrounding us with men?" Yuuta said, looking up to no soldier in particular. "We were just having some soup until you guys got here." A soldier then got down off the horse, apparently the leader. "We have reason to believe your the ones that attcked a slave caravan this morning, show us your +anima tattoo and come with us peacefully and we might not kill you." He announced staring them down

Gariel looked up at them curiously, smiling. 'What reason?' he said, throwing some of them. The head guard walked over to him, glaring, and leaned down so he was right up in the boy's face. 'Witnesses, other re-captured +anima that sang like canaries, statements from the guards who were there. Oh yes, we have alot of evidence that it was you' he told them smugly. Gariel kept eye contact, and then just shrugged.
'you wouldnt kill us anyway. Killing is a bad thing, and will condemn you to hell. Would you send your soul to hell for the sake of a couple of young boys, or some petty trouble with a slave caravan?' he asked with a sinister tone. The main guard gritted his teeth, and the others looked about them warily, generally confused. Then Gariel continued. 'But you are already on the road to hell, simply for partaking in the capture and selling of human lives...'
The guard yelled 'Enough!' and held a sword to Gariel's chest. He didnt flinch, and instead just smiled up at the man. 'Its not too late to stop, but act now and you shall be punished'

The gaurd stared at Gariel for a second before Yuuta stepped forward and shoved Gariel behind him. "C'mon i bet you can't kill me." he smirked before turning around "You can do it, just sink your sword into my spine and this thorn in your side will be gone forever." He was now taunting the gaurd, knowing that no matter waht he did, he couldn't kill him. "Fine you want me to kill you?" The leader said before stabbing his sword forward into Yuuta's back. All it did was glance off, not doing anything. He kept striking until eventually the sword broke in two. "Well,well,well... looks like your the one were looking for..." The leader said before ordering his gaurds to take Yuuta.
Before they wrapped him in rope and sat him on one of the horses he whispered to gariel "Wait for me near the place we first met. If I'm not there by sundown tomorrow something went horribly wrong. Don't come after me and don't do anything stupid" He said before the gaurds were dragging him off to there camp.
