It was maybe the only time of day the kids could all be quite for a second when they were focused on eating. Chris was also quietly eating while keeping an eye out for the other children to see if they didn't fight or steal each others food. He had just a little more food then the children just about enough to keep him going for another day. He had learned in the abyss that you had to preserve food so you last longer with what you get and have. When Rags began talking a few kids poked their eyes at the feral girl. She never said much in the first place so it was intresting to hear her talk and to her questions were. Leader turned his head towards the petite girl as she started speaking. It wasn't hard to understand what she meant, her grammar was just a bit broken from her many years in the wild. The girl asked when they were gonna search deeper in the abyss for the others. More of the other kids looked up at the girl now curious to what she had to say about it. Leader seemed a little surprised about the question. She must have worried about the other two as well since the moment they had disappeared. Off course she would have. Leader gave a gentle smile towards the girl. [center][color=9e0b0f]"We'll see tomorrow after looking on the 1st layer again, alright?"[/color][/center] Most of the kids dropped their curiosity again and continued eating as if nothing had happened. He must not say to much about it or they'll worry or worse, try to go down themselves. While the others continued eating leader looked at Rags a bit longer to wonder about some things. Not one of the other children would have thought about how they could have been down deeper in the abyss yet Rags did seem to know that they had clearly gone down much further. [center][color=9e0b0f]"Say Rags, what do you want to be later when you grow up? A white whistle like Lyza?"[/color][/center] [center][h2][color=007236]Shopkeeper[/color][/h2] [img]https://i.imgur.com/3RM27vm.png[/img] [i]Surface, Market[/i] [@Melpaws][@Zelosse][@AtomicNut][/center] The girl that had just been shopping at his store had dashed off and jumped off of the edge of the abyss. He watched her jump in surprise as his jaw had dropped. It was such a measly artifact and she just wasted her life on it. He uttered a few words but was speechless. He knew her from before, she passed by frequently and gazed at each and every artifact in great detail. She must have loved those things an awful lot. She didn't seem like a delver right now or most of the times when she was just walking by in her everyday clothing but she seemed decently experienced when she passed by with her gear still on when she had just come back from her expedition. But... A fall like that, you wouldn't survive... A kid watching the whole scene unfold immediately rushed up to him and gave him a harsh tackle. The man simply stammered back onto his other leg as he only felt a small nudge of the kid that dashed into him. His intimidating face glared down at the boy but not in anger, in surprise and absent-mind. The boy did seem angry at him for having thrown the artifact off of the edge, but... Was it really his fault? The man gulped. [center][color=007236]"Boy... This is not the time for it."[/color][/center] The man paced himself towards the edge as well and saw another boy immediately handling the situation by going after her with some rope. The man simply stared at the boy for a moment before he called out to him before he went to deep. He was yelling at the top of his lungs to get the attention of the boy. [center][color=007236]"Y-you know no one will survive that fall... Well... if you still wish to go down... here."[/color][/center] The man dropped an artifact after him that was somewhat shaped like a closed loop handle with a flat side to it. [center][color=007236]"The flat side will stick to anything when forced is applied to the handle. If you let go of the handle it will let go too. Be safe."[/color][/center] The man watched after him in worry untill there was no more sight of him. He then turned back to the crowd around him and went to his knees in front of the girl begging as deeply as he could. [center][color=007236]"I'm sorry!"[/color][/center] He stayed like this for a while before he stood back up and reached out to the girl with his hand before showing her a sack full of coins. [center][color=007236]"Little girl! Buy three of the warmest and biggest meal in town, clothes that are your size and come back as fast as you can."[/color][/center] The man sat down near the edge of the abyss and stared in front of him like a solid rock giving no reaction, not even blinking a bit. Waiting for the two of them to come back out of the abyss. [center][h2][color=f49ac2]Juuzou[/color][/h2] [img]https://i.imgur.com/24ETj8S.png[/img] [i]Surface, Market[/i] [@Zelosse][/center] Juuzou was timidly watching out for anyone trying to head into the abyss as his guard duty when suddenly... From the corner of his eye Juuzou could see the blonde jumping over the edge making him snap his neck almost instantly towards the falling girl. [center][color=f49ac2]"That jackass!"[/color][/center] He took a quick pace towards the group of people watching the girl fall down, there was already some boy trying to head down. He did seem to have a whistle so it was fine with him. The old geezer seemed to have been the cause, but looking at his face he didn't do it by accident. Juuzou leaned over the edge a little as he comically remarked something about the falling girl. [center][color=f49ac2]"Oh, oh! She went down pretty fast!"[/color][/center] He cheekily chuckled a little as he came closer to the group. He noticed a young boy immediately trying to beat up the old man. Juuzou frowned a little as he studied the boy. Seemed like a brat that would keep quiet and have his rage moments. Juuzou smirked a little before he headed directly to the boy and waited for the old man to leave. He wrapped his arm loosely around the young boy his neck as he steered him away a little from the scenario. [center][color=f49ac2]"Oi, oi, oi little man, no need to get so violent on this pretty day. You should cool your head a little and let the others handle this."[/color][/center] He smilingly said to the young boy. He wouldn't want him to get hurt. He looked bad enough already. He would let go of him shortly after and look at him for a moment to give him a kind smile and let him do what he wanted to do again. Either he would help or attack, the outcome might be pretty or wont be.
