Well at least it was done and over with for the meantime, no sense in worrying about the later stuff especially sense he had to wor- "OH CRAP!" Toby bounded off at, what seemed to him at least, Olympic athlete speeds yelling out, "I'm late, I'm late!" While he wasn't actually late just yet he had to book it if he wanted to be at work on time. Thankfully despite, or perhaps because of, his social awkwardness he was a pretty fast guy. There were actually some first years that mistook him for a member of the track team on days like today.

Sliding down the rails like a madman, a few teachers yelled but, that didn't stop him. [i]Thankfully i don't need to grab anything from my house ether[/i], he though. Ojii-san wouldn't yell he liked Toby too much for that, but he felt like he would let the old man down. Bursting threw the doors and taking off down the street full speed. The school was long behind him before he had even remembered that he didn't say goodbye to Sho or the others.

he slowed down and as calmly as he could he walked threw the pawnshops doors just a minute before he was suppose to start. "Tensin-dono! I'm here!" silence, [i]must be working on something in the back then[/i] he went to the employee room and put his coat on the rack affectionately patting it down "Thank you for keeping me safe today coat!" he smiled finally feeling at home again.

This was pretty short lived though as something cold and metallic pressed against the back of his head and in a gruff voice said "Gemme all your money,punk" and he heard a loud cocking noise behind him. Immeadiatly turning around and flailing like a girl he screamed out "No, don't hurt me," and with a quick thought anger came out "what did you do with Tensin-dono!" but rather then gunshots he got hit with water and loud laughing was coming in from the voice as it smoothed over. "Toby easy, easy it was a joke!" While Toby was sure he was trying to be soothing the laughing washed any of that away.

"Tensin what if I had a taser or something! Your heart wouldn't be able to take the shock!"
"I know I know but I couldn't help myself you looked like a deer in the headlights I had to do [i]something[/i]!"

after a breath of relief he began to laugh himself, Tensin was one of the few people who could get away with teasing Toby. After all the old man had let him into his shop and showed him so many cool items. Samurai helmets, watches from the American colonial period, and even some gold pirate coins. All these things were precious to both Tensin and Toby, which made the man and boy so close it would be hard not to thing Tensin [i]was[/i] his grandfather.

"Now, about that gift" and with that Toby's eyes swelled to the size of plates. "I know your probably thinking about that helmet, but ya already know I can't give that too you too much money in it and all," the slight disappointment quickly disappeared when Ojii-san pulled out an old lighter from his shirt pocket. "Sides I figured you would want something a little more personal then that. The liter was and old zippo lighter that Ojii-san got from his Ojii-san who built this shop by hand. "I-I couldn't" Tensin pushed it into Toby's hand anyways. "Toby, you know I don't have any kids. I want someone who will actually care for the thing to have it. You are the only one I could possibly think of." he smiled the way that only true family could, that sweet, endearing sight made Toby start to cry.

the rest of the day went just how Toby loved to spend them, polishing and taking care of the items the store kept. It was a hard job, but fulfilling as well. Making sure everything got put gently in its place and thanking each item for coming to the shop and helping Ojii-san make a living, until it was time to leave. "I'm off!" he called out checking his watch. 

[i]11:00, great well time to get over to the old place if I wanna make it in time, hopefully this doesn't go bad[/i]. He gently traced the red heart shaped stylizing on his new lighter,[i] no everything is gunna be fine I have a new star to guide me threw the night tonight[/i], nothing could go wrong with it in his hands!
