Forum:A Brother and Sister's Venture :D

Continued from the Port
Iluq: "Uhhhhh..." She's still looking at her wounds, wondering if she had any herbs in her bag. "It's brown, nondescript, slings across the body." Unfortunately for Kairo, most of the bags in the luggage room look the same. "Try and be quiet, someone might hear us." She whispers in a cautionary tone.

Kairo: "Aight aight..." He replied as he began to group up all the bags with the same description. "Shouldn't they have given these to you guys when the boat docked?" He threw into a pile near IIuq for her to inspect.

Iluq: She shrugs and sits up, rubbing her legs. "Maybe they're thugs or something." She muses. Iluq slowly sifts through through the bags, not finding hers, but seeing a lot that looked like they belonged to wealthy people. She holds one up to Kairo, "We could sell this, you know."

Kairo: "To who exactly?" He asked as he tosses more bags into the pile. "To be perfectly honest, I'm kinda losing my nerves here..." He felt his heart rate increase, he tried to speed up the process.

Iluq: "To the person that owns it?" She asks rhetorically before moving over to where Kairo stands and placing a hand on his back. "It's okay. I can do this if you want. This is sort of all my fault anyway." She looks a bit guilty as she moves in front of Kairo and begins sorting bags, wishing she hadn't had to involve Kairo in the retrival of her bag. "Could you look out for anyone that's coming?"

Kairo: "And we'd find the owners how?" He quickly dismissed his question and nodded, calming down a bit with her soft touch. He peeked outside the door, he began to panic. Two large and burly sailors were walking down the hall. They were both well over 6 feet, one had a large hammer and another sported a chain. "Uhh I really think we should jet!" He suggested as the two sailors entered the room,they quickly questioned them. Trying to intimidate them.

Iluq: She shreiked a little as the burly men entered the room, and she quickly ducked behind a pile of bags. Probably a bad move, she thought to herself until she realised what was in front of her. "My baby!" She yelled out and jumped up, clutching her bag and shovel in her arms. Realising what she's done, she simply stares at the two men with a blank expression, blinking repeatedly.

Kairo: As the blonde man steps up to IIuq, trying to grab at her wrist. Something snaps in Kairo, being Chaotic Good. His first instinct is protect and help her. He quickly bounces up, throwing a hard punch while using air to add force and speed. He groans and stumbles back, his nose broken. "You little bitch.." He mused as he attempted to bash Kairo's brains out with the hammer.

Iluq: "Hey hey hey, do NOT hurt him." Iluq growls in a dangerous tone. Despite almost being attacked by the guard, she remains calm and collected as she jumps up and attempts to bring her shovel down on the blonde man's head.

Kairo: "Come on where are the fireballs?!" He wondered as the blonde man fell backwards. He didn't have time to wait for an answer as he was smacked across the cheek by the other man's chain. It left a large bruise and he groaned in pain as he retaliated with a powerful breath of wind, it flew him into a metal wall. He groaned in pain and Kairo thought he was knocked out as well. "I mean, I thought you were a badass firebender.." He whined as the man dashed towards them, attempting to strangle IIuq with his chain.

Iluq: She huffs as she ducks under the legs of the chain-man and pops up behind him. "Bending is just an easy way out..." Iluq murmurs as she leaps onto the large man's shoulders and grabs his wrists, pulling them forward with all her might so he's strangling himself with his chain. "Besides, it's more entertaining to use my brains," she lied as she pulled the out wrench she found from her shawl and whacked the man right between the eyes. She winced at the pain she was inflicting and jumped off the man's shoulders, before moving to check his pulse.

Kairo: "Woah....." He couldn't help but applaud a bit. Masking his suspicion, he blushed a bit. Embarrassed at the fact that she did all the knocking out. "Wanna scram?" He asked as he slid something shiny into his pocket.

Iluq: She doesn't notice Kairo's blush, too engrossed in collecting as many bags as she can. She calls out over her shoulder,"Yeah, hold on. I'll just get some more bags. Are you getting any?" She holds up a fancy red-and-black bag, and in the hopes that the user would be willing to pay for it she slings it over her shoulder. She stands up, happy with the amount of bags she's gathered; there are at least eight tied around her waist or slung over her shoulders. In short, she looks really stupid.

Kairo: Kairo quickly mimicked these actions. But he had some difficulty tying them to his waist. He had about 6 and somewhat struggled to move. They managed to go back the way they came. Kairo had to airbend the bags through the veins. He flew her out just like before. "Thanks...." He squeaked, a part of him is still scared his brother will find out. But he actually had fun and was glad to have some cash.

Iluq: "No problem. Sorry it got a bit hectic in there." Iluq apologised as she picked up as many bags as she could and looked at Kairo expectantly. "So, uh, where do I go now?"

Kairo: "Well....I know this pawn shop that doesn't ask questions. And with the money you could start renting an apartment, I mean we could be neighbors. If you're up for it..."

Iluq: Her eye twitches and she blushes a bit at the mention of the "porn" shop. "Uh, I don't think I should be selling bags at a...porn shop." Having grown up away from civilisation the term "pawn shop" was unfamiliar to her and she was grasping at straws trying to decipher Kairo's sentence.

Kairo: He blushed as well, somewhat nervous at the sheer thought. (Just realized porn movers could be a thing.) "It's a place where you buy and sell stuff, pretty wide varieties. Nice place to make some quick cash. Not sure if you have those at the wate- WAIT A MINUTE!" He glared at her a bit. "Any place where you can get a big furry wolf is NOT the ideal home of a firebender. A firebender would've lit those guys up. Why lie to me?" He crosses his arms, somewhat mad.}}

Iluq: She freezes, before becoming defensive of her assumed persona. "Well, EXCUSE ME for having Water Tribe heritage! What on earth makes you think I'd ever try to light people on fire! Maybe, just maybe, there's a reason I don't like to bend, hm? Maybe?" She's beginning to blush harder, the lies making her feel horrible. Now that they were outside the ship Tikaani walked over to them and rubbed against Iluq's leg. Iluq folded her arms and pouted.

Kairo: He groaned as he looked away, somewhat ashamed of himself. "Ugh you're right, that was a dick move.." He admitted, thinking she accidentally burned her parents or something. "I mean, you don't really need it anyway.."

Iluq: She blushed further due to his compliment, but inside she squirms because of her lies. "Yeah... well... no one really needs bending..." She fiddles with the strap of her bag, considering whether to tell Kairo about her lack of bending or not. Trying to keep her mind off that subject, she starts speaking. "So, neighbours, huh?"

Kairo: "Mhm, we can just sell of this junk, we can talk to my landlord and then yeah. You're all set up." He smiled. "If you're up for it.." He somewhat hoped.

Iluq: "Well I'd really like a place to sleep, so I think I'll come and talk to the landlord." She smiles at Kairo, thankful for his help. She looks around cautiously, before leaning slightly closer to Kairo. "So... where is this "pawn" shop where we should sell the bags?"

Kairo: "Pfft don't sweat it, I'll show ya." He quickly takes her hand, giving a somewhat classic smile. He ignored the strange looks they got for having so many bags wrapped to their bodies.

Iluq: She was glad for Kairo's hand as they navigated the bustling city as it made her feel protected. Iluq just wanted to sink into the shadows and disappear, the funny looks she was getting were making her feel ill, so she was overly relieved when they reached the pawn shop. As soon as they arrived Iluq darted inside, away from all the judgemental faces. Her face was red from the embarrassment.

Kairo: He couldn't but chuckle, a suspicious blonde guy and his brunette companion stepped out. Chuckling while they counted a large stack of cash. Kairo followed Iluq and entered. The store was littered with shifty looking characters. The shopkeep was a firebender who was constantly looking around for cops and thieves who aren't selling him anything. "Hey man uh-"

Shopkeep: "Yeah yeah just fucking show me the merchandise and I'LL decide how much it worth!" He seemed very nervous, tapping his hands as Kairo untied his bags.

Iluq: She shook nervously as she slowly untied her bags, keeping her eyes locked on the shopkeeper. She didn't want to look at anyone else in the fear that they would bash her or something. She placed the first of ger bags on the counter, a nondescript leather bag with an earth kingdom symbol stitched onto the front. As she slid it across the counter she averted her eyes, just in case the contents of the bag was pathetic.

OOC: Congrats on winning the most subtle way to include Tetsu in a rp *claps*

Shopkeeper: He quickly opened it, rummaging through it. "Okay some knives, a little diamond and some Earthbending Scrolls." He scratches his chin a bit. "750 Yuans." He said flatly.

OOC: LOL i didn't think you'd pick up on that, IIuq is so adorbs i just can't... >.<

Iluq: Her eyes widen at the sound of what she assumes is a lot of money, and she nods feverently before handing over the next bag, which is completely non-descript. As the shopkeeper rummages through that bag, she nudges Kairo with her elbow. "Is 750 yuans a lot of money?" She whispers.

Kairo: "It ain't that bad, kinda fair I guess.." He replied back. The shopkeeper gave them the 750 yuans and then 500 for the next one. He mused, naturally the people on the ship weren't exactly loaded. So the loot wouldn't be super pricey. As he went through more bags, the prices he offered changed. But he never went higher than 3000 Yuans.

Iluq: She clutches the last bag in her hands, a beautifully woven red and black silk bag with yellow piping. It obviously belonged to someone wealthy but Iluq hadn't checked the contents to assess the actual value of it. Her hands shook as she placed the bag on the counter and slid it across to the shopkeeper. She was full of nervous excitement with all the money she had gained, but was still concerned over the morals of what she and Kairo were doing. Oh well, she though, I'm just adapting to a new environment. She frowned a little, but kept her eyes trained on the shopkeeper.

Kairo: He somewhat felt the same way, Titos was working hard so Kairo wouldn't have to resort to stealing to survive. But it was time that Kairo actually helped keep them afloat. "We're splitting the cash right?" He asked as the shopkeeper began screaming, the bag was full of golden items. And when Kairo took the gold watch he found out of his pocket. He nearly passed out. Screaming 50,000 yuans into the air, while he began to dance.

Iluq: She grinned and looked up at Kairo, thinking the sum of money the old firebender was screaming at them would please him. She looked so happy at the moment, her eyes sparkling with the hope that maybe, just maybe, she could survive in Republic City. She gently elbowed Kairo as the man was dancing, "Of course we'll split the money."

New Apartment
Kairo: "Awesome.." He elbowed back, more than excited to start life with a new...friend? After getting their money, they presumably (lol don't sue me) did some shopping for her new place and the landlord was more than happy to give her a vacant home. It was getting late, but Kairo didn't mind sticking around in her new apartment to help move everything.

Iluq: Despite all the money they had raised, Iluq could only afford a small home with minimal furnishing with her part of the split. Already in the apartment was a slightly shabby, but still acceptable, double bed with some clean pale blue sheets and pillows on it, a small chest of drawers for all Iluq's possessions and a bookshelf for the dingy living/dining room. At present, she was attempting to pull a fold out couch into the home through the main door, with minimal luck.

Kairo: "Come on, come on.." he groaned as he was on the other side. Doing his best to push it through. "Maybe we can try it at a different angle?" He sounded somewhat annoyed, just wanting this stupid couch to get in.

Iluq: She winced at the sound of Kairo's annoyed tone, fully aware of the fact that he was helping out of his own time and that she was basically his problem right now. She frowns a little as she reassesses the angle of the couch versus the size of the doorframe. "Maybe if we tilt it a little to your right it will fit," she calls out over the couch before half shoving it back outside. She squeezes out the doorframe, her petite physique helping her fit, and she stands next to Kairo looking contemplative before she glances up at him sympathetically. "I really appreciate your help you know. I'm sorry it's taking so long."

Kairo: "Hey hey, it's fine. It's about time I actually do something constructive..." He mustered all his strength as he shifted the couch to his right and managed to push it into the apartment finally. He groaned as he fell on the couch, taking deep breathes.

Iluq: Smiling wearily, she walks into the apartment after Kairo and pats him on the shoulder as she moves past him. She stands in the center of the apartment and looks around, soaking up the atmosphere of her new home. It was a bit dank and seemed to be falling apart in places, but at least it was her's to keep. There was a small living/dining room sans dining table, but now with a couch, a tiny kitchen, one dark bedroom and one mouldy bathroom with a shower that Iluq wanted to disinfect before she got anywhere near. It occurs to her that she doesn't have any clothes other than the ones she's wearing and a spare jacket in her bag, and that she was filthy from her days escapades. She sighed, assuming she'd just go to bed hungry, and flopped down onto the couch next to Kairo. "Thanks again."

Kairo: "Don't mention it..." He groaned, being quite exhausted from all the work he's done today. He can barely work up the strength to move, he dozed off and began to lightly snore. He smiled a bit, having a pleasant dream.

Iluq: She closed her eyes and began nodding off, not effected by Kairo's snoring. She too was tired from the day's work, and when she noticed her new friend falling asleep she thought it would be the smart thing to do. As she fell asleep, she slumped further down onto the couch so she was sort of laying on Kairo, something she didn't realise.

Kairo: He drifted off into a wonderful dream, not a single care in the world.

OOC: you have to admit, twas a cute way to end it XD

OOC: Twas. But what now? I can't get on chat or anything so yeah >.<

OOC: New KairoXIluq rp? if you're not up for it, i have a new char

OOC: Tbh that char seems like a dick, and I think I might as well head to bed because it's 12am and I have to do an assigment tomorrow. Next rp we do should be Iluq x Kairo though

OOC: he is, lol. and mkai sure, maybe we can work on the user list too? if not, it can wait till next week~

Awkwardness?
Kairo: It was the next morning and Kairo was sound asleep, unknowingly having Iluq on his chest. As the sunlight hits his face, he begins to wake up slowly, feeling a weight on his chest. His eyes open up wide, being quite surprised. He wants to yell in shock, but doesn't wanna wake her up.

Iluq: She doesn't wake, despite Kairo's movement, but rather moves herself into a more comfortable position on top of him. Her head lies over his heart and one arm is over his shoulder while the other is wrapped around his torso. Her legs are tangled with Kairo's.

Kairo: He blushes like a tomato, he did enjoy this somewhat. Being the goofy little brother growing up, Kairo barely ever touched a girl before. This was strange, but he figures he should try and do the right thing. "Hey uh.." He nudged her a bit, feeling her warmth.

Iluq: "Mneurrrrr..." She rolls over, detaching herself from Kairo and rolling so far over that she falls onto the floor and promptly wakes up. "Owah!" Iluq sits up, rubbing the back of her head after hitting it on the floor. With her other hand she rubs the sleep out of her eyes and then covers her mouth as she yawns. "Ooooooh, morning."

Kairo: "Morning!" He replied somewhat anxiously, glad she was unaware of what happened. He tried helping her up, "But yeah sorry bout that, I kinda have this habit of sleeping wherever I want. Can't tell ya how many times I slept in the Park, damn squirrels.." He groaned and rolled his eyes as he went through a terrible memory.

Iluq:Her sleepy eyes widen as Kairo pulls her up. "You slept in a park? That seems like a low for you." She raises an eyebrow before she yawns and stretches her arms above her head. She takes a slow look around before she realizes she was in the same clothes as yesterday. "Damn I stink..." She mutters.

Kairo: "Eh, I've smelled far worse. When ya live in the slums and meet countless hobos. It ain't pleased." His left eye twitched in disgust as he went through some revolting memories. "But I can just..disappear if you wanna shower.." He backed towards the door.

Iluq: She remembers the state of her grotty bathroom and shudders, deciding she really doesn't want to shower in there, ever. "Wait, Kairo, do you have a shower in your apartment?" She blushes, realising the question sounds really odd.

Kairo: "Uhm yeah sure, is yours busted or something?" He asked, somewhat confused. "I mean.." He opens the door for her. "I think my bro's out, so no probs really."

Iluq: "Not busted exactly... just a little, uhm, dirty?" She ends unsurely, not sure if dirty was strong enough a word to describe her bathroom and shower area. "But yeah, would it be okay if I just visited your house and took a shower?"

Kairo: "Yeah yeah it's cool, just lemme turn it on for ya." He turned around and began walking. "Just a heads up, my place is no 5 star spa. So lower those expectations okay?" He asked as they arrived and he opened the door. Unwashed clothes litter the floor and two strange crocobirds are in the apartments. Peaking at some food, Kairo commands a powerful gust to send them flying out the window. "Dammit.." He muttered.

Iluq: Even though she had lowered her expectations for the apartment, the amount of crap littering the floor caught her off-guard and she widened her eyes in surprise. "Uhm, where's the bathroom?" She asked cautiously, unsure of whether the bathroom was in fact buried under the piles of clothes. The idea seemed likely to Iluq at least. She tiptoed over to where Kairo was, making sure not to step on anything, but in the process she overbalances and crashes into Kairo's back. "Owieee."

Kairo: "Hey!" He whined as he fell face forward into some old noodles. "Uhm, just go straight ahead." He groaned as he moved up, spitting some of the rancid food out of his mouth. Pointing towards a white door.

Iluq: She blushed as she pushed herself off Kairo and moved towards the white door. "Sorry," she whispered, before pushing open the door to the bathroom and then closing firmly behind her. In the bathroom she quickly stripped and showered, thankful for the clean(ish) facilities. She got out of the shower and looked around, before realising with horror that she couldn't see any towels. "KAIROOOO!" She yelled from her position standing against the door, "WHERE ARE THE TOWELS?"

Kairo: "UHHHHHH!" He panicked as he scrambled the house. "Come on, come on.." He groaned as he threw around clothes, looking for a remotely clean towel. He manages to find a robe he wore when he was younger. He quickly shut his eyes tight and opened the doors to the bathroom. "This might work..." He somewhat struggles with fighting temptation and curiosity.

Iluq: "EEEEEEP" Iluq squeals as Kairo opens the door without knocking. She jumps towards the door and slams it, possibly on his arm, after snatching the robe from his fingers. When she has a moment she inspects the robe, dismayed it's not even a towel. "Hmph." She mutters under her breath as she quickly dries and dresses before emerging from the bathroom with a grumpy expression.

Kairo: He screams in pain as the door closes on his wrist. Leaving a bright red mark, he turns around and fights back tears and he tries to ignore the pain. Once she emerges, he quickly turns around and hides his injury behind his back. "Would you believe I saw a spider rat?" He forces a smile through the intense pain.

Iluq: Now that's she's back in her own clothes, even though they are a little smelly, she's more agreeable. "Not really, no." She answers in response to Kairo's pathetic excuse for peeping. An awkward silence descends upon Iluq, now feeling like she's invading on Kairo's space. She looks down at her feet and clasps her hands together silently, before awkwardly gesturing towards the door. "I-I should probably go..."

Kairo: "Kay, but I swear I wasn't trying to a perv!" He winces more as his arm begins to swell. "See ya later?" He asks, not wanting her to know of his torture.

Iluq: She blushes, really hoping he's telling the truth because otherwise she'd feel the need to hit him over the head with her shovel. She shrugs and begins heading towards the door, before stopping and half turning around as if she forgot something. He's been so nice, She's thinking, ''But do I tell him I'm not really a firebender? Ohhhhhhh.... nope, okay time to leave.'' Iluq turns definitely and walks out the door, waving goodbye to Kairo and smiling as she does. Once she's outside she realises she doesn't really know the way back to her apartment, but she may as well try to get there on her own.

Kairo: Thinking she's out of earshot, he screams in pain. "Man..." He whined as he jumped back on the couch. Weighing his options, not wanting to spend money on another healer visit or ask Iluq for help. He decides just sucking it up was his best bet.

Bathtime and a new purchase..
Kairo: He had felt really bad about the incident from yesterday, wanting to do something kind for her. He noticed she headed out a while ago and she took longer than he thought she would. The door lacked a lock, so he easily snuck in with some cleaning supplies. He entered her mold and vermin infested bathroom and did his best to remove the mold, dust and unwanted guests.

Iluq:After leaving Kairo's apartment the previous day, Iluq had become lost and had had to spend the night in what shelter she could find; a cardboard box in a gutter. As she woke up in the morning she was shivering and her lips were blue and cracked, but she begrudgingly got up and moved stiffly through the city, trying to find her apartment. On her way she was forced to ask one or two people for directions, which made her feel horribly uncomfortable as she hated talking to strangers. Eventually she came into sight of her rundown apartment complex and she sighed in relief.

Kairo: "Phew..." He groaned as he finally finished. Kairo was no expert, so it wasn't exactly spotless. But all visual mold, dust, cobwebs and vermin were gone. He fell back on her couch and sighed a bit, silently praying he'll never have to clean another thing again.

Iluq: She walked up to her door, only to notice it was slightly ajar, as if someone was already in her apartment. Her face fell momentarily, ''Why is everything bad happening to me now? Did I do something to offend the spirits? Awwwwww...'', but she picked herself up and tried to psych heself up to face whoever might be in her apartment. She wished for her shovel, but it was unfortunately inside her residence. She cleared her throat and slowly opened the door, unable to see anyone inside. She raises her hands above her head and calls out in a timid voice as she beings slowly walking through her apartment, "Hello? I don't know if anyone's here, but, um, if you are, please don't hurt me? I'm just a little non-bender, I can't hurt you, so please don't hurt me. Hello? Is anyone there?" At this point, Iluq reaches the kitchen adjacent to the living room, but she still doesn't see Kairo.

Kairo: Kairo was about to reveal himself to her, but the word non-bender caught his attention. He was somewhat mad she'd lie to him. He began creeping around, using his flight to float up two inches and not make any footsteps. "Liar..." He repeatedly groaned, doing his best to stay unseen and not sound like himself. "What are you...?" He asked as he creeped around, using the slight darkness to his advantage.

Iluq: She freaks out, letting out a little squeal before clasping her hands over her mouth. In her fear she doesn't recognise Kairo's voice, so she genuinely thinks there is a creepy intruder in her home. She panics, breathing quickly and running her hands through her already messy hair as she tries to think of a way to escape. She was concerned she didn't have her shovel to protect her, and she'd never been taught how to deal with home intruders. Iluq thought it best to answer the voice in case it decided to kill her. "I-I'm a non-bender! Please! I'm only young, I'm not worth any trouble..." She squeaks, pressing her hands over her face.

Kairo: "Why lie to me?" He asked in an annoyed matter, his feet touching the ground and his voice returned to normal. "Being a non-bender is nothing to be ashamed of for fuck's sake." He scolded, revealing himself to her.

Iluq: It seems her voice stops working, and her mouth just forms shapes instead of forming words and sentences as she looks upon Kairo's expression. At the same time a rush of relief and a wave of guilt wash over her and she falls to her hands and knees on the ground, overwhelmed by her emotions. She breathes deeply in and out, staring into middle distance as she tries to think of something to say that would lessen Kairo's hurt feelings. Tell him the truth, she thinks, and she takes a final deep breath. She begins speaking quietly but she is unable to look directly at Kairo, so she delivers her speech to the floor. "It just... when you first assumed I was a firebender I thought that was awesome, and I've grown up admiring benders and I thought maybe other people looked up to benders so I guess I thought you'd like me better if I was a bender..." She trails of at the end, sounding ashamed.

Kairo: "But I already liked you." He knelled down in front of her. "I mean, benders can do amazing things. So can you really, I mean it's not like I think of you any less." He said as he stepped behind her and picked her up, holding her by her stomach. "Come on, I think I got something you'll wanna see." He chuckled as he stepped towards her bathroom.

Iluq: "But I already liked you" Iluq mimicked Kairo in a child's voice as he picked her up. "Psh, you're probably just saying that to make me feel better." She crossed her arms, a little unhappy about being carried in such a way as it was uncomfortable, and also unhappy because Kairo was dismissing the very serious matter of her lying to him so easily. She tries to squirm around in his arms so she could face him. "Aren't you even a little bit mad at me?" She asks him, her eyes open wide. As an afterthought, she add, "Also, if you're in the mood to break into my house, please tell me beforehand so I'm not scared half to death."

Kairo: "Well I was for a few minutes, but it's dumb to stick on things like that y'know. And why would I? I wanted to make this a surprise." He quickly kicked open the door, revealing the bathroom. "I mean, I'm no expert but I always try.." He said as he let her go, somewhat enjoying carrying her. "I'd hate to have a bathroom with mold, so I figured i'd be nice.

Iluq: She jumps out of Kairo's arms and onto the clean bathroom floor. Lost for words, she silently inspects the bathroom, amazed that Kairo would do this for her. Trying to avoid the topic of a long thank you, she awkwardly walks over to the shower and stands in front of it with her hands stroking a fake beard. "Now for the real test," She says in a gruff old man voice, "Will the water turn on?" She turns and reaches over to the taps and turns them with great difficulty to the left. After they don't budge for a while, she blushes and realises she was turning them the wrong way. Trying to make it as discreet as possible, she starts turning the taps quickly to the right. After a bit of work the taps turn on, only to let out a dribble of brown water. "Uhhhhh..."

Kairo: "In my defense, I'm no plumber..." He said with shame as he observed the brown water. "I mean, we can probably get one. But ugh.." He thought how expensive it could be and they still had to live off the money they got from the day they meet, sadly it just wouldn't last. "You could shower at my place again when ya need to, wouldn't mind the company.

Iluq: She looked around gratefully, having thoughts along the same subject concerning money and financing. "Thanks Kairo, for-for everything. It's really sweet of you." She turns off the taps and fold her arms across her chest, combing her hair out of her face. "Don't worry about a plumber, it'll all be fine. I might-ah-have to shower at your place though." She blushes, recalling the last time she showered at Kairo's. "You need to buy towells though."

Kairo: He winced as he remembered as well, the intense pain in his wrist resurfaced for a moment. "Sure sure and ugh don't mention it, I kinda owe you don't I? I mean, the money we got from the ship really helped me out. So I mean, maybe you want a job somewhere? I can name like 5 places looking for a busboy or girl y'know." He hoped Iluq wouldn't end up broke like he was doomed to.

Iluq: She shakes her head, her hair flying into her face. "I don't think I'd be a good busgirl... whatever that is." She murmurs the ending off to the side a bit, wishing she was knowledgeable concerning city life. She scratches the back of her neck, kind of wishing she had better social skills, considering most of the jobs around the city seemed to involve decent people skills.

Kairo: "It's just going in a restaurant and collecting used plates and glasses, not that hard. Unless the boss is a douchey slave owner.." He remembered the terrible man which made him quit one of his earlier jobs. He quickly grabs her wrist and walks out. "Wanna go shopping, I think it's time you changed your wardrobe kid wait.." He sniffs her a bit. "Did you sleep outside last night?" He asked, only now noticing that her lips are slightly blue. Something he experienced many times.

Iluq: She looked away from Kairo, more than a little embarassed. "Maybe?" She sqeaked in a small voice. She was now extremely self-conscious of the way she looked due to the way Kairo was analysing her, and she pulls her wrist from Kairo's grasp before flicking her fringe so it covers half of her face. "I-it... It was just one night." She murmurs, looking at the ground, "I got lost."
