Scare away those thugs! [Job l Riley and Raven]

Raven groaned, rubbing the back of her head as the force of being thrown back had managed to give her quite a difficult headache coupled with the feeling of wanting to throw up. She regretted having eaten some bread for breakfast that day. She had wolfed it all down without properly chewing because she was running late. Raven's hand slowly moved from the back of her head to her stomach where she started to slowly rub the flat, fabric covered surface with her fingers. She hated being flung around from one place to another. Her body never adapted to it, although she had been thrown around before.

When she saw Riley's figure blocking the sunlight in front of her, she smiled and took her outstretched hand. Not exactly how she wanted her guild's pupil to see her like. She was hoping to make an impression by easily taking her opponent out and standing victorious over him like in those superhero comics. Well, it all turned out well in the end anyway.

"Thank you. You were great yourself," she praised her friend while letting herself be pulled up. "I can walk by the way," she chuckled when she found the worried glance Riley threw at her.

With Riley by her side, Raven walked back into the restaurant where she found the frightened faces of the restaurant owners and employees. She smiled at them before sitting down on a chair that, surprisingly, was not broken from all of the ruckus that took place that day.

"I don't think they will be coming back anymore. Since the mercenary mage they hired was defeated. It was quite obvious that they were only acting up under the shadow of that mage," Raven told the manager when she heard him thank them. Her shoulder was starting to hurt a little from having hit the tree but it wasn't uncomfortable enough to make her complain about it. "I'm sorry about the front porch. That one was my fault," she told them, smiling sheepishly as she slowly stood up.

"If you don't mind now, we would love to have something to eat. At least I would. I'm starving," She told the manager and laughter followed by the rush of footsteps were heard.

OOC: Ok this was a not so good post <.< But I was rushing! Sowwy!

Raven giggled as she watched Riley from the corner of her eyes. It was a weird yet fun day. She wasn't even expecting everything to turn out this way. Surprisingly, their client and his employers were all nice people that were willing to feed them even though they pretty much destroyed their restaurant. Their tables and chairs were scattered around. Most of them were broken and the remaining ones that weren't completely broken, were scratched and looked ugly. The cream colored fabric they used as curtains were torn and thrown around the room. The glasses were broken and the front porch was more or less completely destroyed. Raven sighed. It wasn't how she wanted to end things. She could have taken care of everything with minimum damage and yet, she had caused the owner more trouble than anything. She wanted to apologize but they looked happy and content as it was. She guessed that the thugs had caused them enough problem to actually overlook the destroyed state of their restaurant. Either way, Raven decided it was time she became a proper adult. She didn't want to cause this sort of damage anymore.

She thanked the girl that came to treat her wounds and sat still as she ran a ball of cotton covered in medicine over her cuts. Raven wasn't seriously injured. She had small cuts on her arms and shoulders. Her back hurt from the rough impact it had with the branch of a tree but nothing was broken, to her relief. She finally turned to Riley when the food arrived. "Eat up. You did a good job by the way. I'm glad Sabertooth has members like you, Riley. It's good to know I can still count on people if something happens to me," She told her as she started cutting into a piece of meat with her knife. Everything considered, it was a good day. It was sad that it would end soon, though. "You can go back to the guild before me, Riley. I have to run some errands on the market nearby," She informed Riley and wolfed her food down before hurriedly getting up. She bowed politely towards the manager and everyone before waving and running off.

The sky was turning golden when Raven stepped out of the restaurant. She gazed up at it for a long time before walking away with a sigh. She had lied when she said she had an errand to run. In all honesty, she had wanted to go to the nearby park that she once went with Kuroe. Ever since her dear pet disappeared, Raven had been searching for it wherever she went and she had made it a point to visit places that she had visited with him before. She had hoped that he would jump out of nowhere and make fun of Raven for not being able to find him. So far, the violet haired woman has had no luck in the department. She had searched place after place, traveling to wherever Kuroe was more likely to go. She missed her friend like no other. In the end, she decided she would visit the park too.

Her feet automatically took her to the place. It was as if her body remembered the place more than her which made it easy for her to get to her destination. She hoped Riley had made it back to the guild safely when she decided to sit down on one of the swings. The park was empty. No trace of Kuroe anywhere. "I wish you would just come back, Kuroe," Raven sighed and got up. There was no point in waiting in the park for longer. Kuroe was obviously not going to show up. Was he alright? The last time she saw him was when he was being carried off by the crow guardian. What was the meaning of that? He was heavily wounded at the time too. Was he still alive? Why had she not heard a word about him? So frustrating.

She decided to walk towards the train station. She believed it was time she returned to the guild and started going through her paperwork again. All she can do now was wait anyway. Kuroe would definitely show up again someday. Defenitely. He can't stay away from Raven for too long. That's all she could believe in now.
