[color=9e0039][b]“Good work, Qadira.”[/b][/color]

Abdel tossed a piece of meat toward the maw of a large, reptilian creature which the snout already met his neck. The adolescent Skuggvar’s muzzle was opened for this brief reward and closed right after the creature had swiftly caught the portion of venison. It munched away while its twin sibling looked at the tall tanned boy expectantly, [color=9e0039][b]“You too, Dayanara.”[/b][/color] and as he took out the treat, the animal nearly lunged at the naive little master, ready to aggressively snatch it off him.

And then it froze, its clawed paw mid-motion as if it had been literally frozen. Abdel adamantly glared at the animal, [color=9e0039][b]“No!”[/b][/color] he pointed right between her eyes as it was forced into her underbelly, [color=9e0039][b]“That’s a no-no.”[/b][/color] and now it was deprived of its treat as punishment while the sister gleefully swallowed the chunky, raw steak.

Abdel sighed and turned to the young woman with her arms bound behind her. She was a dirty blonde, wore tethered grey clothes with a light cut on her forearm and had her once scornful glare turn into a wide-eyed look of pure anxiety as she saw the beasts get handed. [color=9e0039][b]“Can you walk? I don’t think it’s a good idea that I have one of them carry you.”[/b][/color] he asked, not looking too confident himself, [color=AFCF7B]“Y-yes.”[/color] she nodded as Abdel rested his hand over her shoulder and began escorting her out of the hideout she had been found in the Borderwood. [color=9e0039][b]“Good! I’ll say you cooperated. Might help with the sentencing, I think.”[/b][/color]

The perpetrator, wanted for connections with some Traveller-related activity, was delivered to the Century, and in turn Abdel was graced with 15 Magi for his efforts - part of which was subsidised by more than just the school and the Century. Not that he knew or cared, for he had finally gotten his first paycheck!

[color=9e0039][b]“Look at that!”[/b][/color] the lanky teen shook the pouch of coins before his two massive hunters. They hardly paid any attention, but they obediently followed him without even a leash tied to them (although they did have a bridle connected to their muzzles), [color=9e0039][b]“Now …”[/b][/color] he counted on his fingers, [color=9e0039][b]“You girls get about five for food this month …”[/b][/color] she pursed his lips and then nodded happily, [color=9e0039][b]“About four for me. Leaves me with six to do whatever in the month!”[/b][/color] he kept speaking to the beasts even as they hardly reacted, raising his arms up in celebration.

Before he returned home, he stopped by a florist. Being the rough young lad, his tastes for the delicate and beautiful were not very refined. And so, he opted for the Red Rose. A nice bouquet for less than three incantors, with an added blue one in the centre. He hummed to himself on his way back with infrequent abdominal hissing from the beasts behind him.[/color]
