[Ricia]

"Alright... this and that bag please." Gambet said.


"5 silver." The lady said. With that, he paid, "Alright. We'll take you to our place.. you can change in the room."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"We can pay you back," Jubei said five silver was alot.

 

[Ricia]

"I just told you the reason we are doing this." Gambet said with a sigh. They stated to walk to the in. Gabet handed Jubei an actual backpack with her clothing in it. "There you go."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Thank you," she said softly. "I... really can't thank you enough,"

 

[Ricia]

"Well we are very sorry about earlier..." He told her before they go to an inn. "Our room is the second on the left. Go a head and change, then come one back down. We'll order a warm meal."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Ok," She said timidly and went to the room she opened the door very slowly as if expecting something to jump out

 

[Ricia]

Mia followed her, though turned into a cat half way up the stairs. She was on high alert as well. When Jubei got to the room. It was empty except for their stuff in there.

 

[InsaneTruth]

She went in and let Mia in before she went to put the dress and under things on. She wanted to look nice as she could.

 

[Ricia]

Mia waited patiently, facing the door to give Jubei all the pricevy she always asked for.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"How...do I look?" Jubei asked

 

[Ricia]

Mia turned to look at Jubei before turning human again, "Pretty Master." She replied, even smiling a bit at her.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Jubei and hugged her. "Lets get a good meal and see what happens next, thank you so much for coming to help me,"

 

[Ricia]

Mia smiled a bit, "Of course Master, this is what I am here for." She was glad Jubei didn't get angry for killing the man.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Jubei walked down with Mia and had a smile on her face she had not been so well cared for as a slave being free was wonderful.

 

[Ricia]

"Jubei, over here." Rivet was now sitting with Gambet at the table. Mia climbed down the stairs before walking over to the table and jumping onto a chair.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Jubei smiled and went to the table and sat down "thank you again for inviting us,"

 

[Ricia]

"No problem. What would you like to eat?" Gambet asked.


"More like do you want a job?" Rivet asked with a grin.


Gambet sighed, "Can't we have a nice meal before you go asking difficult questions?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I..." she was about to say she'd eat anything then she was offewred a job. She blinked "Yes sir... depending on if I can,"

 

[Ricia]

"Three of the specials and some water please" Gambet told the bar wench. She nodded before leaving.


"Yeah. You play a really good damsel in distress." Rivet told her. "All you have to do is keep this.. umm little girl? From killing our prey. We usually try and take people alive."


"We are bounty hunters." Gambet explained, "We travel and catch murders and other bad people... we generally look for the ones who do it for fun or no reason.. we look over the poor sods who did a bad thing for different reasons. Call us the grey area..."


"Well I'm more in it for the money..." Rivet said.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I don't think I can tell Mia not to kill someone who actually hurts me... something tells me she couldn't handle it, but maybe if its a controled act?" she looked at Mia "what do you think? can you help catch and not... kill?" she asked

 

[Ricia]

"No. Master Jubei can not order me not to kill someone who has her threatened... yet she can. Depending on the severity of the situation... I may have some control over it." Mia said, she was barely looking over the table from her chair.


Both them men were very quite. They looked like they couldn't figure out what was right in the situation.


"Master?" They both asked.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Mia... calls me that... because we are bonded... she protects me and cares for me... she has been for a few days now," Jubei didn't know exactly how many. "Mia... is special,"

 

[Ricia]

Mia's ears twitched a bit and the a tail swerve. She looked happy.


"I see. She is defiantly different." Gambet said.


"I can try not to kill those I attack Master Jubei. However I can not promise 100% success rate." Mia told her.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"That is very kind of you to be honest Mia," Jubei praised her and smiled "thats all I can offer you," she told the men.

 

[Ricia]

"Hmm..." Gambet said with a bit of thought.


"Well I guess some can be turned in dead and alive. Dead still gets us a bit of money." Rivet told them.


The bar maid came up and served some plates. Mia got a child sized one over the adult portion. "Thank you ma'am." Gmabet said, paying her.
