[i]The boys, getting impatient with Mikael's attempts to converse with them, were surprised when they saw Karen coming out of the store. They knew her from a previous 'run' with her, where she tried to take a valuable item from them and run off with itand some money. Anger Boy (the boy on the right) almost instantly recognized her, and he began materializing his sword. Level-Head Boy (the boy on the left) recognized her immediately as well. However, instead of materalizing his weapon, he jumped on his friend, pinning him to the ground. [color=Maroon]"LET ME GO! LET ME AT 'ER!!! I'M GONNA KILL HER!!"[/color] Anger Boy made his intentions quite clear as he yelled this at the top of his lungs.

Level-Head Boy pleaded with his friend, [color=Brown]"NO! WE AGREED WE WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING TO HER IF WE MADE ALL THAT MONEY BACK. WE DID, AND NOW YOU HAVE TO UPHOLD YOUR SIDE OF THE AGREEMENT!! DON'T MAKE THIS ANY HARDER ON US, YOU IDIOT!!"[/color] For reasons yet to be known to the players in front of them, the boys seemed to have different intentions than to go after Karen.

A few seconds pass, and the players' questions are answered. As Kei walks out the store a few seconds after Karen, Anger Boy begins to calm down and Level-Head Boy gets a big smile. From Mikael's point of view, he can tell it's an honest smile. However, the rest of his body tells a different story. [color=Brown]"Ah! Just the man we're looking for. If I understand correctly, you, sir, are Keisuke. Your the man everyone calls The Monster Fang, correct?"[/color] Kei nods, but looks confused. [color=Brown]"Okay, that's good. We're not here to fight anyone, so let me put that knife in the drawer,"[/color] Level-Head Boy smiles while saying this, but Mikael still sees the subtle changes the rest of his body makes, which don't add up with his comments. Either way, Level-Head Boy continues, [color=Brown]"What we do want is to come with you on your grinding runs. We've gotten some good armor and weapons, but they still don't suit our style, so we were hoping you might take us up as lackies for a while, mainly so we can level up as fast as you do."[/color] The entire time he says this, he has his friend pinned down, who has gone quite. Mikael can tell that, looking him up and down (given he's on the ground, so technically left and right), his body laguage also says something different from what his face is telling. Very quickly, Mikael looks back towards the shop door. He notices Link in the window, shaking his head.

From Karen's POV, it's hard to tell if Level-Head Boy is still mad at her for stealing the item and money from them, but Anger Boy was quite clear. Though, as angry as he sounded, even she finds it wierd that the boy has gone completely silent in a mater of seconds.

From Kei's POV, he just heard a name people have been calling him behind his back. (I can't for sure say what Keisuke is thinking, so I will leave that up to his player). And yes, even he finds it weird that an anrgy boy shows no care in his hatred's target, just seconds after his true objective arrives.
