Scare Away Those Thugs! (Solo/Job)

The three of them walked into the shop, and the sign flipped from closed to open. The two bounty hunters and the shop owner walked in. Behind the counter was where the client was, Elyx had his ear pressed against the counter as he was trying to sleep. The tile counter was like the glass that he had slept on just now so it was not hard for him to get a bit of rest there. Meanwhile, Ignite just looked at the boy and sighed. No matter what, she still felt like she could have done better. Maybe it was better for her to choose the harder jobs, it would be either those or the hellish attackers from his past. Wake me up whenever... Elyx mumbled, only for Ignite to hush him and pat his head. I don't even want to hear a peep out of you. You need to sleep, and if I hear anything come out from that mouth of yours, I'll make sure words aren't the only thing that will exit that big mouth of yours. Understood? Ignite ordered as she looked into Elyx's half closed eyes. His mouth turned into a small grin as he sealed them together. The boy closed his eyes just as Ignite wanted him to, and soon, he found himself sleeping.

Sheesh. What was he going through last night? The man asked as he tilted his head to the side. He was cleaning a couple of dishes, one for Elyx and one for Ignite. He wanted his customers to get what they were promised, their first meal being the best of all of the free meals that they would get here. Being so early, no other customers could see the train wreck that Elyx was right now. Not the friendliest of men arrived. Trust me, he didn't hurt them, but it took a lot of his energy to make them go away without pain. The goal was to scare them after all. Ignite explained as she put her right palm against her cheek as she looked down at the violinist. It seems he did a lot, I can't believe he did all of that just to help me. The man said as he continued to clean the dishes. From there, he began to cook, and Ignite was left there to worry.

Elyx and Ignite were back at home, the two of them on their beds. The difference was, Elyx was actually asleep, having no nightmares this time it seemed. At noon, it was easy for him to be asleep, but for Ignite she was unable to go to sleep. The night before was still haunting her, she was only bringing misfortune to Elyx when she tried her best to let him off easy and add money into his wallet. Poor Elyx, maybe I should just go for the strong jobs again. His mind would be focused on those instead of that damn Shadelle place, giving him hell like that... I should storm over there myself and snap Cain's head myself. Ignite said as she looked to the side to see Elyx sleeping, then sighed as she shook her head. It was him who wanted to eliminate Cain... But what else was there to the boy? He told her everything he knew, but was there something he didn't know? Like Lerale, what the hell was that supposed to mean in a name anyways?

Don't kill yourself over it Ignite. Elyx whispered silently, causing the She Phoenix to jolt up into the air as she saw that the boys eyes were half opened. Ignite snarled as she remembered the threat she gave to Elyx about speaking until he slept, and that was proof right there that he barely got any sleep. Elyx! Baka! Go back to sleep! Ignite exclaimed as she rolled off of her bed and went to take care of that herself. The boy laughed a little bit before falling back to sleep, was he listening to her the whole time? Her plans to take out Cain? She walked up to Elyx to confirm if he was asleep, grabbing his wrist, and it was limp. He went out like a baby, good thing too, Ignite was ready to give him a good knockout punch. She rolled back into her bed and looked back up to the ceiling. I'll do better next time. Maybe I'll even give you a day off. Ignite said as she smiled before closing her eyes again, giving sleep another chance to overtake her.
