Crane fell asleep in the guild library, again. He had spent several all nighters there before, if no one took him out of the library before locking up. He really didn't like the idea of having the demon that destroyed his family and town inside of him. He woke up as Zack entered the guild. Gramps was always so quiet somehow. It creeped him out, because the old guy was always right behind him when he was getting into trouble or saying something about him. Crane swore that was actually his magic, to be everywhere he didn't want him to be.

As he woke up and went for breakfast he found he had no money. He had been shirking off work for the last couple of weeks and was beginning to run low. Tired, hungry and broke, he was going to have to take a job. He really dreaded the idea of it, but it was necessary and he knew they weren't as bad as he made them out to be. He followed Zack to the job board and looked at it over his shoulder. His stomach growled loudly as he stood staring at the board.
