[color=fff200]"Hey, I'm back,"[/color] William yelled at the top of his lungs. There was a rumbling from the back of the shop as a man, who had ducked underneath the doorway, emerged from the forgery. Standing as tall as Sanzoku, maybe even taller, and just as muscular, Rickard Nelson was his name. Brother to his father and uncle to that Extention, served as William's ward during his stay in Saffron Village. He left the Gold Clan a little after William had been born, so William didn't get to know his uncle. After spending the last few years with him, William had concluded.

[b]"You look like shit. Did you fall into Rapidash manure?"[/b]

His uncle was a vulgar brute—the epitome of uncivilized and dirt. William didn't know how his uncle lived in this dump of a home before he had arrived. There were beer bottles littered everywhere, and junk was spread throughout the house. It took William an entire month to make the place even salvageable.

[color=fff200]"Shut it, I almost died today, so I'd appreciate it if you left me alone."[/color] William retorted back before taking off his bloodied boots. Rickard eyed the bloodied boots and decided not to press on the subject. Instead, he decided to bring up another subject. [color=fff200]"Where were you this morning? I thought I told you to man the shop."[/color]

[color=fff200]"I went out to get breakfast; why does it matter to you, you-"[/color] Before William could insult his uncle, he flinched as his uncle hit him on the head. William hissed but didn't say anything else. He was going a little too far with his uncle, who was only showing his version of 'concern.'

[color=fff200]"...After I got breakfast, I met up with some of our clients and made sure that their orders were coming. There was an accident at one of the gates, so that's why I got here a little late."[/color] William finally said before shooting a look at his uncle. Rickard only looked back before turning around. [b]"Take it easy today; you can close the shop early even; we have enough funds to last for a while."[/b] With that, his uncle disappeared back into his forge.

William sighed and decided to head back into his room and change. Wynaut popped out of his faulty Pokeball and followed him inside. The sun was still rising, and today was going to be longer than usual.
