*Hitoshi quietly sighs upon hearing of Arthur's exploits, knowing they haven't stopped at all.

Why? Why is Arthur continuing to live the low life of a criminal? Hitoshi can't understand. She tried it once. A long time ago. It's still the biggest regret of her life. The guilt of her actions still weigh her down, like a cape of shame dragging her down, constantly pulling her down. Even mere weeks after Hitoshi left, she still remembers crying, sobbing, for the people who died, who would never see their family members again, or who were doomed to a poor and miserable life, thanks to her.

Hitoshi knows she deserved some kind of karma. Hell, what happened to her is probably getting off scot free, pretty much.



And here Arthur sits, not even worried about the path that may take him on. Hitoshi doesn't want to do anything violent to Arthur. Not least because with her skillset it's nigh impossible to take someone like Arthur on in a fair fight. But talking about it is good. Always is.

But that can wait. Hitoshi may not dislike Zed, he was always alright to him for the most part, but if Hitoshi talks about anything with Arthur it's in private.

Hitoshi does notice Zed continuing to enjoy **Her** Food, though. Fucking hell, some people. Hitoshi just sips at her drink, trying her best to "Enjoy" This weird-ass day for what it is. Surrounded by two proud criminals. As an ex criminal who ditched the job.

Hooray...*

*Hitoshi slips the hat back on and adjusts her Ill fitting pants.*

"You mind if I get some clothes? These are horrible on me. I'll come back."
James
"Go ahead. Make sure your current ones don't fall off. Thanks for the sandwich. Harvest isn't too good."

*In reality, he just wants the sandwich. Hey, she's not eating it. Hopefully Hitoshi keeps her clothes up. That wouldn't be good. He really hopes he's able to get more info on Arthur's employer. Perhaps gain more info about Arthur, or one of Hitoshi's acquaintances.*
Kevin
"Uh huh."

*Harvest. Okay. Hitoshi goes along with it because snitches get stitches, though.

It takes a little while for her to return. Once/if Arthur and Zed talk a little longer, Hitoshi will return with some decent clothes. And a lighter wallet.*

*Everyone's **Favourite** Ninja returns, with a lighter wallet and some halfway decent clothing. Honestly, Hitoshi really thinks that a change of clothing was long overdue even if she wasn't, uhh... You know. The clothes were comfortable and warmer than Hitoshi's old rags. Compared to her original kit, it's like walking around in a blanket. Although maybe Hitoshi's standards are very low.

She sits back down, and is almost about to drink the water... Before deciding not to. It **Is** Zed, who's to say he hasn't... Done something to it?*
James
"Ah! You're back! It looks good on you!"

*When she comes back, Zed's fiddling with a silver coin in his fingers. Seems odd for a farmer. Hitoshi knows, though. He sees Hitoshi think for a bit, then stop. Seems like she was about to reach for something. Hitoshi probably didn't trust him, and rightfully so.*
Kevin
"Really?"

*Nice. Hitoshi was lucky to find someone who specialises in clothes like the kind she happens to prefer. Can't break an old Irunian's clothing choices easily. Irunian clothing is just more comfortable to Hitoshi.

Hitoshi discreetly shakes her head, glares and looks at the coin for a moment. Although Zed is incredibly good at blending into places, Hitoshi would still rather he didn't take chances like showing off riches. Then again, Zed was always the strange one.*

"Hey, uhh..." *The ninja has a lot of questions picking at the back of her mind. But she'd rather not ask them in front of Zed. It's obvious she's the only person here trying to live a decent person's life. Arthur was on some sort of rampage against New Sunlight, which Hitoshi couldn't for the life of her ever understand... And Zed was... Zed. The guy who asked for the event that finally persuaded Hitoshi to leave Irunia in search of better things.*

*Hitoshj continues to rub her knees, rocking back and forth slightly. What's there to talk about? In a public place, anyway.*

*Back to Runran.*

"Hey, Zed, good choice coming to Salvania. Irunia is a shithole anyway. Great for the Oni... Not so great for us. That's how I see it, anyway."

*Irunian culture is nice. Place itself is a shithole. At least, to Hitoshi it's a shithole.*
James
"Yeah, really. Eh. Nothing for me in Irunia anyway. Too many elven slavers. Can't stand them. They're the inferior race. In my opinion, the Kitsune are far more connected to magic."

*He flips the coin into the air, catches it, then places it back in his coin pouch. He takes notice of the slight head shake. To be truthful, Zed was never normal. He's killed someone at a very, very young age. That changed him, a lot.*

"Say, what would happen if Mevis saw you like this?"
Kevin
*Hitoshi snorts, holding back laughter.*

"No idea... No idea at all. Don't think it'll be anything good, though."

*Mevis would certainly have less reason not to believe him, compared to the big time criminal, Arthur Dax. But Hitoshi still doubts it'll be anything but sheer embarrassment.*

"Just wonder how much mess this will cause when I go to see that man about the mission."

*Hitoshi could already see it. And now the Kitsune couldn't help but go back to wondering how much it'll fuck up her daily life. Being a man in a woman's body is weird. It isn't going to kill her, but odds are, this will likely last at least a month or two, and really get in the way of life in general.*

"...He'll have to get used to it though, now won't he? Mevis. This won't disappear any time soon."
James
"Ah, well. It could be worse. You don't know how big the demand for female Kitsune slaves is. You should be ok, though."

*Now, who was this Mevis? He seemed like a close friend between the two, Arthur and Hitoshi. He was also taking some kind of mission. The assassin one. They probably had to take one down, because he doubted that the New Sunlight guild would do that.*

"Indeed. That's not going away anytime soon. I've heard that less than 0.01 percent of mages decide to even look into that. Say, what about the New Sunlight guild? You're going for squire there?"
