I don't own +Anima. Just in case you were curious...
"Don't pull my hair," a tiny girl with long wavy blonde hair shrieked. A dark haired child retorted,
"Quit you whining! You need to learn when to shut up!" A short boy with silver hair interrupted the two of them,
"Both of you! Shut up! Let go of Nana's hair!" Both of them looked at him, frozen in place. The dark haired one apologized,
"Sorry Husky," then dropped the blonde hair that had been in his hand. He stepped back towards a tall gray-haired teen that was not listening to any of them. Another dark-haired boy was nearby the gray-haired teen, playing with a feather. Husky huffed,
"That's right run over there." The dark haired boy stuck out his tongue, holding up Husky's money. Husky shouted,
"Pick-pocket!" He wondered to himself why they even kept the boy with them, since they had no real ties to him before.
Husky scowled as yet another argument between Nana and him ensued. She always seemed to cause trouble about every little inconvenience. Nana whined,
"But we don't have much money and it's such a pretty town." Husky shouted,
"I don't care! It's too big and we can make it just fine to the next town!" Nana seemed to be trying to think of a good argument in response to that. Cooro stepped up, grinning, despite the fact there was an argument going on,
"I know! Why don't we go into town this time and next time we won't when Husky says." Husky opened his mouth to say that it was the stupidest argument he had ever heard, but Nana agreed too loudly for him to do anything otherwise. Husky moaned,
"Fine. Not like I have a choice in the matter." Nana beamed, Cooro laughed, and Senri watched a caterpillar climbing up a tree. Husky muttered, "Well come on. Let's go." The four of them walked up to the town just as the sun rose to noon. They all breathed a sigh of relief, glad to be out of the woods for once. Husky dictated the orders, taking charge,
"All right. First we'll have lunch, then we can get some jobs. As soon as we have enough gillah we're leaving. Got it?" Nana and Cooro nodded and Senri pointed to a food stand. Husky paid for the lunch with all but a few of their coins, making sure there was enough to fill their empty bellies. Cooro ate like he had never seen before and was immediately begging for more. Husky tried to quiet him, but only Senri succeeded by handing Cooro some of his lunch. Once they had finished eating Husky repeated his earlier instructions,
"Now for jobs. Let's go." Nana and Cooro both looked like eager puppies in response to having real jobs. In Husky's opinion that was a silly thing to be excited about.
Senri got a job first, as he often did. He was hired to do hard labor for some lumberjacks. Then Nana was hired to a florist's shop, under the claim her small fingers would be good for arranging bouquets. That left Husky and Cooro to look for work. A few shopkeepers watched them, but Husky's glare seemed to be scaring all of them off. Husky finally relented,
"You know, Cooro, how about you go look for a job by yourself and I'll catch up with you later." Cooro nodded and danced off to find a job. Husky sighed, that boy could be happy about anything. He wandered around, not sure of where to go. Husky decided he would just have to keep walking around with less of a glare on his face. He was walking along when a woman came up next to him. She smiled at him. Husky forced a smile back at the woman, trying to figure out her motives. Finally, he cracked, asking smoothly, "Can I help you ma'am?" The woman chirped,
"Oh yes. I noticed you were looking for work and I was hoping you would be a waiter at the saloon over there." She pointed over her shoulder to a nearby saloon. Husky nodded hurriedly, not wanting this job to slip out of his fingers, for this could be his last chance.
Husky pulled at the bottom of his shirt, getting used to wearing a uniform again. He sighed, well a job as a waiter was better than nothing. The woman instructed him to take a tray and go get to work. Husky obliged, walking out with the tray under his arm. Immediately, he could hear several girls tittering and pointing at him. He barely kept himself from glaring and turned himself into a well-mannered waiter. Husky walked back to the bar, handing the chef his slip with the customer's orders. The chef was quick with the food and Husky only had to wait a moment for the food. He turned around, holding the tray of food easily. Suddenly, he was on his back on the ground, the meal covering his chest. There was another boy on the ground, and he looked none too pleased. This boy was wearing the apron and uniform as well, indicating he was waiter as well. He had dark chocolate colored hair and eyes the color of the ocean. Husky was almost depressed to think about the ocean when he was so far away, but he could not think about that now. He begrudgingly apologized to the kid,
"Sorry. I didn't see you." The boy stared blankly before shrugging his shoulders just enough for Husky to see. Then the boy walked past Husky and handed his paper to the chef. Husky raised his eyebrows at the boy, deciding to just shut his mouth and deal with the boy's silence.
