[falconidae]

[He holds up his hands in a defeatist position, but the smirk on his face sure doesn't make it look like he's given up.]

Cent of my own gems, huh? Is that how these denominations work?

[He's still gonna chill in your cart, though.]

[upabovetheworld]

[He has to push that you know.]

No, not really.
Trust me - the Gemcutters here have given me enough lessons about gems.

And you can't have any of mine.

[falconidae]

[Siiideyes the pile in the cart.]

Aww, c'mon. I'll help you carry your stuff. Look, there's one that matches my hair and everything!

How did you score this job anyway?

[upabovetheworld]

These aren't even mine. They're going off to be polished into currency.

But, ah...
You'll see when you meet Bounsa.

[... Looks at the cart.]

[falconidae]

[...also looks at the cart...]

I hope these guys are nice. Like, it's weird enough being in a place like this without pissy locals.

[Hayabusa, you're a pissy offworlder.]

[upabovetheworld]

Takes one to know one, at least.

But nah. They're, uh... I'd say overly friendly, actually.
They're paying me more than they pay themselves.

[... Fine.
He starts pushing it, Hayabusa and all - which uh. Takes a lot of work.]

[falconidae]

Huh. You're doing a lot of work, so...

Though they're your bosses, right?

[Tilts head. He still doesn't know much about these guys. This whole place is weirding him out.

At least it's sparkly.]

[upabovetheworld]

Yeah, I guess.
They don't really... pay themselves though.

They kinda just do the work because they have to and pay outsiders to help, I guess.

[Pushes... the cart...]

Y'know you're... not really making this any easier on me...

[falconidae]

Because they have to, hm.

[...llleans over the edge of the cart towards Kita. Hey, sup. I'm not getting out.]

C'mon, it's exercise. Work those little stick arms.

[upabovetheworld]

... Thanks.
You're a great friend.

[... Pushes it some more, albiet quietly for a bit.]

... If you help, I'll let you have some of the pay.

[falconidae]

[Tilts head the other way...

...aaand hops out of the cart. You win this round.]

Fine, fine. I want the purple ones.

[upabovetheworld]

No, that's almost all of my money. They're worth twenty-five red gems on their own!

[YOU CAN'T HAVE HIS WHOLE PAYCHECK HAYABUSA]

[falconidae]

[Pout.]

Alriiight. I get it, I'll help you out anyway.

[Starts pushing the cart alongside!! Kind of. He's not putting that much effort in.]

[upabovetheworld]

... Tsk.
Something's better than nothing.

[Pushing it... at least they're outside now.]

[westernskies]

[Sup, teammates, remember how Nishinosora said he just had to get rid of a few lizards?

Apparently that sort of thing can really take it out of a guy, so they'll be catching the blond taking a break and looking like he's been run ragged.]

[falconidae]

[Okay Hayabusa's putting more effort into pushing that cart now. He's not that much of a jerk.

But oh hey sup tired friend! You people and your ~jobs~ and your ~working~.]

Yo! Nishinosora!

[Frantic waving!!]

[upabovetheworld]

[.... Sighs.
He waves at Nishinosora too, though he's shaking his head a bit.]

What's got you so worn out? You're not really the type to put in a lot of hard work or anything...

[westernskies]

[He just lifts a hand, not really waving but... well, the intent was there.]

Running around trying to kill things is harder than it sounds...

[falconidae]

No kidding. How long have you been out here?

[He wanders over to help Nishinosora up, since he's by far the most spritely of the three.]

Y'wanna come with us? You could hop in the cart, since you look so beat.

[upabovetheworld]

Ah, we still have to...

[push it...]

... Nevermind. Feel free to sit in the cart.

[westernskies]

... I dunno. A few hours.

[He shakes his head and waves a hand dismissively.] Haaaa, I'll be fine in a bit... I'll come with you guys anyway though, I'm done for now.

[falconidae]

Don't hurt yourself.

[Trots back over the cart and nudges Kita over to make room for Nishinosora. They're gathering quite the posse.]

Well, if you're not gonna get in you can help us push. Even a little help would get us there a lot faster.

[upabovetheworld]

[Oh. He'll just scoot over a bit then.]

Yeah - I'll take any help I can get, at this point... I think this is the tenth cart-ful I've pushed around today.

[westernskies]

Tenth? Jeez.

[He'll push, but sorry, guys, he's not going to be much help.]

[falconidae]

Yeah, it's been fun to watch.

[Grins! Team effort, team effort.]

It'll be nice to finally head home, though.
