Leading Thieves Say Millennials and Zoomers "Ruining the Crime Industry"

A variety of criminals have spoken out over the past few weeks, saying that crime just doesn't pay like it used to because Millennials and Gen-Z-ers are so broke, they have nothing of value to steal.

Stephen "Fingers" Gilligan, Pickpocket: Pickpocketing has been on the decline in America for a while, but it's getting ridiculous now. Nobody carries cash anymore, and even cards aren't paying out. The other day I stole a wallet with five debit cards, and all but one of them declined. The last one had just enough to buy a Sierra Mist from a vending machine. That was my second best score all week. The best was a $40 Olive Garden gift card and a crumpled, discolored $5 bill that I had to use archeological techniques to retrieve without it disintegrating in my hand.

Burt Crustman, Mugger: Man, nobody walks through dark alleys at night since the pandemic hit, and when they do? Jackshit. The only valuable anyone under 40's got on them these days is their phone. Admittedly lotsa people have $3000 phones, but you know what the market for fencing iPhones is like? It's shit! Everybody's buying new phones because their phone's the only nice thing they can afford!

Monty Derailleur, Bike Thief: Well the bike theft business would be going good, if people ever used the bikes they bought. The sales are high, but the fact of the matter is, the bike lanes around here are shitty or nonexistent, there's no room to take them on the bus, and there's no bike racks so everybody knows it's gonna get stolen.

Jerry Rigby, Car Thief: I don't know what you're talking about, Grand Theft Auto is booming. There's $75,000 pickups, $60,000 SUVs, $100,000 Teslas, and most people can't even afford to buy a used car legally so fencing's never been easier. The reason it's hard for those of us in the business is twofold. First, too many people living out of their cars. Second, the competition. You see a nice car parked somewhere, you gotta be on it like that, or the fucking illegal towing rackets will beat you to it. It's nearly impossible to make a living as an independent car thief.

Dwayne Pipe, Burglar: The only reason to be breaking and entering in the post-Pandemic years if to use somebody's shower. I swear to god, half the time when I break into a place, the only furniture is a mattress on the floor and a mid-sized computer monitor as a TV, and those are only good for scrap because with planned obsolescence the way it is, they have a life expectancy of about 6 weeks after theft. To be honest with you, I'm running a loss on most jobs. The only reason I haven't gone straight is because all the legal jobs pay jackshit too. That, and I really like replacing people's family photos with pictures of Nicholas Cage.

Brittlyghn McKannyck, Shoplifter: Shoplifting these days is a hobby, not a career. Half the time the stores are too understaffed to even stock the shelves, and if they're not, everything's locked up. I had to get a guy to unlock a magnetic tag on a box of Crispix the other day. If I didn't live with my parents, there's absolutely no way shoplifting full time would be viable.

Norman Gore, Master Hacker and Identity Thief: Scamming people out of their financial info or cracking passwords has never been easier, but the scores just aren't worth it. I keep getting into bank accounts that pending overdraft fees. It's pathetic. I have to leave the lights off so my hacker den's only lit by the monitors, and type on three or four keyboards at once to hack enough people to make ends meet.

Jack Gazebo, Digital Pirate: Oh my fucking God, people, stop paying for streaming! Learn to torrent! I'm telling you, man, this generation just doesn't have the technological literacy to pirate media.

Captain Tom Stillcutt, Analog Pirate: Let me tell ye something, matey, it be a sad day for piracy. No more galleons laden low with gold doubloons, rum, and exotic spices, nay, it be all scurvy container ships full o' mass produced plastic now. Me last prize was a forty foot container loaded full of over a hundred thousand Funko Pops, en route from the East Indies. The worst part of it was as the cap'n I gets a double share o' the booty, whether I want it or not. I've been makin' one walk the plank every day, and my cabin's still full of the blasted things. Shiver my timbers, I hate these damned Zoomers! At least the ones in me crew are happy.

Geraldo Cardamom IV, Gentleman Thief: The economy's just horrible for heists these days. Art heists? Jewelry theft? All the rich idiots are blowing their money on crypto, NFTs, and custom furniture from hipster woodworking YouTubers. Nobody just has a gallery in their house with priceless antiques in glass cases below a conveniently placed skylight, or millions of dollars in cash and gold bullion in vaults behind secret doors with seven different elaborate locking mechanisms anymore. Nobody secures their valuables with networks of criss crossing laser motion sensors. The only guys with that kind of money are assholes like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, and they don't have the sense of style for that. They just hire a bunch of assholes with guns.

Carmen San Diego, Legend: You must be joking, right? The reason I retired is because the infrastructure in this country is so dilapidated it's impossible to move it without it disintegrating. My last heist was "stealing" the World's Largest Pothole in Lansing, Michigan. I lifted the entire six lane wide, fifteen foot deep pothole out of the ground, disassembled it, and shipped it across the country to a warehouse in Las Vegas, then filled in the hole with pristine asphalt so it looked like it was never there. Nobody investigated. Nobody came after me. The city threw a parade in my honor. It didn't even take a month before my record holding pothole was dethroned by one in Cleveland, leaving me with nothing but a bunch of dirt, crumbling asphalt, and broken dreams. That's when I realized it was time to call it quits. Well, maybe the Bass Pro Shops Pyramid, but it already looks stupid enough in the middle of Tennessee that the only way stealing it would be funny is if I put it in the original Memphis.

The whole world at your fingertips

Cw: Cold Whump, Tiny Whump

Word Count: 3.4 k

For all, once again it was winter. Trees had lost their leaves, leaving only bare and naked branches behind, which now stood lonely in the landscape. Snow has fallen, covering every green meadow in pure white, and most animals hibernate in their warm shelters, waiting for the cold to pass. In the late afternoon, the sun already started to set, painting the sky in beautiful colors of pink and blue. Snow on the mountains shimmered in the evening light while icy winds were blowing through a forest of white high pines.

Although Carl would’ve liked to admire such a pretty landscape for a bit longer, he still had to move on through the deep snow in direction towards his home. Probably, it had been a good idea to make his way back a bit earlier, since night would fall very soon. And if it wasn’t for this chatty trader at the market, through whom he became involved in a longer conversation, Carl surely would’ve been home already. The older man kept on walking through the forest, snow crunching under his feet. Soon, he spotted his cabin in the distance, letting out a relieved grunt as his face was stinging from the cold, cheeks and nose reddened. The basket filled with potatoes, which he carried on his back, was getting heavier and heavier with time. Carl finally placed it on the ground beside the front door, grabbing a lantern from inside to bring the basket to his storage.

Just when the cooper passed his small shed, he heard a noise coming from a barrel, which stood next to it outside. First, Carl believed he had misheard, since his ears weren’t the best anymore. But when he came closer to the barrel, which usually was used for rainwater in spring, the man heard it once again. It sounded like a soft whimper, almost inaudible. Carl held the lantern over the barrel, illuminating the darkness right away and glanced into it.

And there was something on the very ground of it, indeed. The man recognized a tiny animal with a striped bushy tail and small ears laying on the wood, shivering from the cold. But on a second glance, that wasn’t just a raccoon, it was a child.

A little boy.

His light brown hair was ruffled and unkempt, his ragged clothes way too thin for winter and the tiny child was curled into a ball, pulling his legs close to his body. He whimpered quietly, still shivering and didn’t even notice the man glancing down on him. Carl has never seen such a little creature before. He knew there were myths about tinies but certainly not about raccoon hybrids. Nevertheless, the man had pity for the poor little thing. The boy probably only looked for a warm shelter and fell into the barrel, being hopelessly trapped in it.

The cooper reached his hand into the barrel, picking up the child which was merely the size of his thumb. "Hey, how did you end up there, little one?” Carl mumbled under his breath, gently opening his fist to look at the tiny boy laying on his palm.

The boy tried blinking his eyes open and slightly shifted on the warm surface but was too exhausted to respond. Only a few whimpers left the child’s throat and Carl could tell that he was freezing terribly by his shivers and chattering teeth.

"You must be really cold, aren’t you?” The older man frowned, glancing down on the raccoon child in concern. "Better get you inside.”

Not sooner said as done, Carl as carefully as possible carried the boy on his palm to the front door, snapping the latch out of the lock and the wooden door opened with a slight creaking. The man slowly entered the cabin, watching every step of his and avoided any harsh movements to not trip and risk dropping the little boy on his palm. In the twilight of the fallen night by now, he could only recognize the silhouettes of his furniture through the gleaming light the lantern provided. Gently, Carl laid the boy on a soft pillow in his cot, covering him with a scrap of fur. His tiny hands clenched into the fabric, the whole body still trembling uncontrollably and his fluffy ears were laid back. The child stirred slowly, whimpering as sleep soon took him. He was unconscious, yet alive and breathing to Carl's relief.

Still he wondered. Where did this little creature come from and what was he doing here all alone by himself?

But right now, the man only hoped he could warm up the child. He lit a fire for the night, guarding the boy's sleep for a while. And Carl was relieved to have finished his purchases earlier because not even an hour later, it started snowing so heavily that no one could even see through. The man sat beside the cot, looking outside a small window in the raging snow while the fire was crackling quietly nearby.

Fortunately though, he had found the child outside just before the upcoming blizzard, Carl thought.

Lost in thoughts, he was snapped out when the man heard the boy quietly groaning, waking up from his sleep. He slightly blinked his eyes open, looking very pale, as if all color had disappeared out of his face. Teal eyes widened in fear, glaring up to the giant man. He winced when Carl carefully neared him, taking a seat on the cot beside the pillow, on which the child lay. He was still shivering, although by now, the room was heated up by the warmth the fireplace contributed.

So might the only reason be that the boy was utterly afraid of him?

Admittedly, he would also be scared of someone twenty times his size. So who was he to blame?

"You don't have to be scared, little one." The man soothed, looking down on the tiny boy. "I won't hurt you."

Staring into Carl's eyes, he was filled with dread and straightened on the way too big pillow. The child tensed, shuddering, as his shoulders rose. He huddled as far away as possible, creasing his forehead. Carl watched the boy and didn't move a muscle to not scare him even more. For a moment, there was silence. The man hesitated, expecting some kind of reaction from the kid, but nothing followed. Frightened eyes met his, the boy's hands gripped so tightly into the soft fur, showing white knuckles. Carl lowered his chin, taking a deep breath and prepared to choose his next words thoughtfully.

"I just took you out of that barrel and saved you from the cold." Carl added, gesturing with his hand. "See, this is my home."

The boy averted his eyes, studying the cozy room for a brief moment until his attention fell back again on the giant man sitting in front of him. He didn't appear to be a threat to the boy, yet he held his breath, expecting the worst to happen. The man still was a total stranger and the boy helplessly small in comparison. However, there was this one question circling in his mind, making him wonder about all of this.

"Y-you saved me...? Why?" The child's voice quivered, his lip trembling slightly.

The boy turned his head, pulling his knees together, and moved his tail closer to his body. Awe glowed in his eyes, furrowing in tension. Maybe replying with such a question could have been a mistake. Even talking back to someone who can easily squish life out of him by one grip. But now it was too late for regrets. If the giant wanted, he could grab and kill him right away.

But to his surprise, the man didn't act like any of this. He looked down on the child and pursed his lips, scratching his forehead. He didn't appear to be angry or vicious, rather…overwhelmed?

"Because you were all alone there, in thin rags and I couldn't just leave you there." The giant replied in a raucous voice, sounding stoic but not intimidating. He shifted slowly on the cot, which made the boy cringe to the sudden movement. The child jerked away, shifting his shoulders in a half-shrug. The growing anticipation for something to happen increased and the boy felt more anxious in every second passing by.

"I-i was always told to stay away from humans..." The raccoon child said timidly.

His little heart was furiously pounding in his chest and he started feeling dizzy that the world was seemingly spinning around him in endless circles. And he didn't know in which direction this conversation might go. Maybe that was all some kind of sick cat-and-mouse game to stall him. Maybe the giant only waited for the moment where he got distracted, losing his temper.

Whatever that was, it became unnerving.

Carl could clearly see that the boy was feeling more and more tense, although there wasn't a single reason for him to feel that way. He just tried moving on with their little conversation and was surprised that the child was even willing to talk to him. But how could he show the boy that he wasn't a threat to him? The whole time, he had wondered what the kid had been doing near his home, anyway. He was also way too young to survive on his own out there, since the boy couldn't be older than ten. Carl hesitated asking the kid about his parents though.

"Did your parents tell you that?" He uttered eventually, tilting his chin.

The child slightly shook his head, struggling to speak. "No, t-the other hybrids." He stuttered in a weakened voice. "A few took me in after my parents died."

"They…" He faltered, visibly in distress, "were killed by a human…"

The boy looked down, unable to meet Carl's eyes. He was too exhausted for this. He felt awful and didn't know why. As if he had lost control of his body, his teal eyes soon filled with tears, a flush crept over his pale freckled skin and his face contorted while the small body was still trembling. Before the man could even respond something like expressing condolences to him for his loss, he was interrupted by a quiet sniffle and a low breaking voice.

"Please, don't kill me too!" The boy trailed off into body-wracking sobs, turning away from the man's glance. "Please, I don't want to die!"

Carl bit his lip. His brows turned into a frown, eyes narrowing in concern. His stoic facade seemed to crumble when he watched the child crying. Seeing the little raccoon boy like this shattered his heart, not only because he lost his family but also that the child expected him to do such awful things too.

"Hey, I would never kill an innocent living being." The man assured, leaning a bit closer to the child. "Especially not a kid."

What was he supposed to do now?

Carl didn't know much about comforting children as he himself barely interacted with any. And this one was so small too, that he feared to hurt him by accident additionally. A bit awkwardly he stretched out his hand, drew it nearer to the little creature until his fingers wrapped around the boy's body, picking him up gently. The kid squeezed his eyes shut, still sobbing and didn't dare to raise his head. Carl held him a bit higher, almost on eye level, to look into the child's flushed face.

"And honestly, I don't blame you for being scared of me but can I at least know your name?"

In response, the man only heard a few further sobs and sniffles that made him feel unintentionally bad about this whole situation. That poor kid must be shocked to the core, completely overwhelmed as he turned into a crying mess now. And that's exactly what this whole thing has been so far: A mess.

Despite this, the boy's crying became more faint soon and he slowly raised his chin, noticing that he had just been asked a question. Carl watched him patiently as he wiped away some of his tears, seemingly calmed down and peered up to the man with reddened eyes, cheeks turned crimson.

"A-arin, sir..." The child replied with a trembling voice.

Carl really had to suppress a chuckle as nobody has ever addressed him like that. Without question, 'sir' sounded very nice. And it did amuse him in the slightest way as his height probably inspired awe in the boy to show his counterpart some respect. Sure, it was no wonder when the kid chose his words carefully; he was sitting right on the man's palm, nervous like a cat on a hot tin roof.

"You can call me Carl."

For a minute he had thought how to put it in words best that he would keep the boy here with him. Because the child certainly didn't look like he would want to stay any longer in the man's company. And yeah, maybe he could also let the kid go into the snow storm, saying that he doesn't care but that wouldn't be the truth. He did care and he had pity for the kid.

"Now listen, Arin, it's not that I'm going to force you to stay here but I can't let you go into this blizzard." Carl pointed at the window beside, where a heavy snowstorm was raging in the darkness, unable to see anything through it. Arin snapped up his head, face pale like a ghost.

Wait, what-

Stay? Here?

The boy expected anything but not this. This had to be a joke. Where's that sudden care coming from, anyway? Shouldn't humans be evil, disdainful creatures? Why did this one save him then? Everything about this seemed off, completely confusing Arin. And even after this conversation he still couldn't come to terms with the idea of being in a human's house, sitting on a human's hand, why, talking to one even!

"But I don't want to be a burden to you..." Then followed quietly, cutting the man off guard. He saw Arin looking down, wiping away some of his remaining tears.

Such a small child? A burden? Nonsense. Apart from this, Carl lived all alone here, a few miles away from the next village, so he had no one to talk to anyway. And a little bit of company sure wouldn't hurt.

"Trust me, you're not." Carl said without even batting an eye.

Arin didn't know what to answer on this and continued on awkwardly staring a hole into the floor. And after he didn't come up with any more excuses, the boy decided to give in, letting it be. Arguing with the human is probably pointless and a waste of time so Arin just accepted the offer gratefully, even with feeling uneasy. In a sudden, he felt the ground moving underneath his body that he flinched slightly, gasping when he saw the giant had started walking. Arin reeled, almost falling backwards but straightened again, sitting as upright as possible. Luckily, the man didn’t carry him far but this short ride was already enough to make Arin's stomach turn. He was glad when Carl stopped, laying out his hand on a wooden surface which appeared to be a table. Arin hesitated, staring up to the man who gave him an expectant look.

"Go ahead, kid." He urged, waiting for the boy to move.

Eventually, Arin understood what he was supposed to do, so he carefully climbed down the man's hand, standing on the table on shaky legs. His body now felt even heavier than before, holding his weight seemed so much harder. Yet the boy tried to hold himself as steady as possible so the giant wouldn't notice that. Arin already appeared to be weak and worn out when he cried in front of the stranger. And he didn't want to embarrass himself even more.

The child turned around to Carl who sat down on a chair beside him. They were staring at each other for a while without a single word. Arin gulbed, feeling how sore his throat was. The boy already felt uneasy and this situation didn't necessarily make it better. Was it strange? Maybe. Awkward? Absolutely.

"So," Carl broke the silence then, shoving a plate of leftovers to the boy. "You're sure hungry, aren't you?" Arin startled at the sudden sound of the porcelain scraping over the wood and peered at the food presented there. It was a slice of bread with few potatoes but so big in comparison to the tiny boy. Carl tore off a small piece of bread, handing it out to the child. Arin still stood there motionless, staring at the man in confusion. Carl couldn't help but leave a slight smirk on his lips.

"Eat, my child, it's not poisoned." He mumbled softly, amused about Arin's cowed attitude.

The kid probably still thinks he's going to harm him intentionally, Carl thought. Sure, that whole situation must be very odd to the boy and he was obviously still struggling to trust him, yet Carl hoped to show him that there's nothing to be afraid of and that Arin was safe here in his custody.

The boy hesitated when he heard his stomach growling, noticing how hungry he actually was. And he hasn't eaten in days, not a single crumble. But could he just accept the giant's offer? What if that's just a trick? Arin was still scared but then finally took the piece with trembling hands and ate a few bites. It tasted dry but was better than nothing. The child tried swallowing down as much of the bread as he could but every swallow only hurt more. And his throat felt so sore that he wondered why that was the case.

Carl's smile soon disappeared when he saw how the boy screwed up his face, struggling with every bite. Also the kid looked unusually pale and sickly in addition to his skinny body. Carl had thought he would do the boy some good by giving him something to eat but now he noticed that Arin probably felt too unwell.

He stopped eating, when the man addressed him in concern. "Y'know, looking at you, you don't look too healthy, kid." And it kinda made sense, since he was only wearing thin clothes, walking through the snow with bare feet in such icy weather. The boy probably caught a cold, no wonder, when he was trapped in the barrel for how long?

"My throat… it hurts." Arin quietly whined in response, looking down sadly on the piece of bread. "But I'm so hungry."

Carl saw a few tears glistening on the boy's cheeks and eyed the poor child with pity. The little one was sniveling, looking so helplessly and scared.

"You probably have fever." The man added, a brow furrowing in concern. "Wanna lay down for a while?"

Arin felt too tired to complain. He felt how his legs eventually gave in, how his head was pounding, cheeks glowing. Only now Carl noticed how he was actually trembling all over.

My, and he thought the kid was still scared.

The boy nodded slightly after the man's question, almost stumbling towards him and looked even more exhausted than before. Carl looked sadly at the child and held out his hand again to let the boy climb on it.

"I'm s-so cold…" Arin mumbled through his aching throat and crossed his arms in an attempt to stay warm. Unfortunately, that didn't help much. The boy curled into a ball on Carl's palm who stood up, carrying him back to the cot.

"I know, kid, I know." The man said in a sad voice and laid Arin back where he once woke up a while ago.

Although Carl absolutely had no idea what to do with such a small child like this, let alone how to nurse him back to health, he still would try to help him. Because if not he, who else? Arin had no one who would look after him, who would care for him.

And somehow Carl felt responsible for this little boy so he would keep him here, keep him safe in his hands.

Roommates Wakatoshi and Kiyoomi who everybody in the apartment complex loses their minds over. They're so polite and so sweet and so kind. They always help carry heavy things and they help elderly people with their groceries, and they'll always come over to your apartment and move furniture if you ask them to.

Roommates Wakatoshi and Kiyoomi who spend a lot of their time at home when they aren't at practice and just hang out with each other. They enjoy each other's company, it's easy to talk to the other. And even when they aren't at home, you can still find the two of them together.

Roommates Wakatoshi and Kiyoomi who are always out running errands together and they go to the farmer's market together every weekend too. Who don't realize how beautiful they are. Who make everybody stare at them when they're out. They've been responsible for more than one person running into something... Other people, poles, falling into holes.

Roommates Wakatoshi and Kiyoomi who share a lot of things - they share clothes, they share groceries, they share secrets.

Roommates Wakatoshi and Kiyoomi who decide that sharing is no longer on the table when it comes to you, who's currently now moving in across the hall from them.

And so...

Roommates Wakatoshi and Kiyoomi who are locking up before they go to the farmer's market, but the hallway is filled with boxes of all different sizes.

Roommates Wakatoshi and Kiyoomi who wanna know who it is - they haven't had a neighbor in a few months.

Roommates Wakatoshi and Kiyoomi who awkwardly stand out there in the hallway, waiting to see if you'll emerge from your apartment which is now currently open.

Roommates Wakatoshi and Kiyoomi who take one look at you and are both immediately smitten when you appear in the hallway, all precious and adorable and a lil sweaty. You're saying your name, you're holding out your hand for them to shake, they both start fighting and tumbling over each other to get to you first.

Roommate Wakatoshi who bites the inside of his cheek when Kiyoomi is faster to be in front of you.

Roommate Kiyoomi who makes sure to smile charmingly as he takes your hand in his, gently shaking it.

Roommate Wakatoshi who is quicker to ask if you need help moving anything and that he'll do it, and Kiyoomi is mad he didn't ask first.

Roomates Wakatoshi and Kiyoomi who glare at each other when you turn back around and try to think of what furniture you'd like moved where in the living room since you know you'll have trouble doing it by yourself.

Roommates Wakatoshi and Kiyoomi who try to out-do each other the entire time in your apartment. Wakatoshi wants to move the couch by himself, Kiyoomi is trying to get your mattress in it's proper place, Wakatoshi doesn't like that Kiyoomi is alone with you in the bedroom so he comes in and asks if you want the dresser moved.

Roommates Wakatoshi and Kiyoomi who enthusiastically agree to you ordering them pizza for lunch as a thank you for them helping you.

Roommates Wakatoshi and Kiyoomi who start arguing in hushed tones the second that you leave to go answer the front door.

"Stop trying to show off!"

"Oh please, you have a fucking back injury, don't you? Why don't you just leave? I'll take care of it."

"I'm not fucking leaving you alone, then you'll get their number, you little fucking snake!"

Roommates Wakatoshi and Kiyoomi who's faces immediately change from glares to smiles when you enter the bedroom with the pizza, Wakatoshi leaning against Kiyoomi and putting his arm on his shoulder, both of them shouting in excited surprise that you're back.

Yes, they've always shared everything.

But not this time.

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT TASK 002: FAMILY HOME (REDUX)

The Inoue household is located in a small 2 bedroom apartment, located on the 4th floor of an apartment block in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. The family has never had a ton of money, but they managed to get by on his parents multiple full time jobs, as they never wanted Ollie to work telling him to focus on his school and get into college instead. Use that big brain of his that neither of them had (their words). Most of the furniture and décor in the apartment is second hand in some way, shape, or form. Whether it was gotten in thrift shops & flea markets, rented until they paid it off in full, or literally fished out of dumpsters. His parents aesthetic is pretty eclectic anyway, and the place is filled with books, records, photos, art, magazines, random weird knick-nacks and just about anything that could make a person’s apartment to feel like a home. 

Despite the size, broken appliances, shoddy plumbing with hot water that only works when it feels like working, no built in cooling, terrible landlord, living on the top floor of a building with no elevator, etc … Ollie’s never felt out of place in his childhood home, and that’s probably the most important thing for a person growing up, he understands that not everyone has been so lucky. 

THE LIVING ROOM

Filled with books, old records, some plants, a tv, and second hand furniture. 

Honestly the tv is probably the least used thing in the apartment. 

The first time he ever made out with someone was on that couch :’) during his twelveth birthday party. Oh the memories.

THE KITCHEN

The fridge is usually full of like frozen meals, and left overs, and easy to make food like that. 

Lots of good snacks. They’re a household of stoners. 

Lots of long lasting food, like rice, and soups, and canned vegetables and things like that.

Nothing fancy like dishwashers, and trash compactors. 

“We have no clean bowls, but we do have a wok. Boy, I love being Asian” - actual conan gray quote that is v fitting for Ollie’s life lmao

THE STUDY AREA

It’s basically just like the hallway between his parents bedroom and the bathroom. 

Ollie did most of his studying in his room, but that’s where the computer was so he did all the computer stuff there.

Also where his dad keeps all of his guitars, except he has his favorite acoustic one in his bedroom. 

You’ll see a lot of band paraphernalia on the walls from his dad’s band, and you’ll also find most of the Inoue family photos, and stuff like that. It’s where they keep all that stuff (or hung up on the fridge).

OLLIE’S BEDROOM

Where Ollie spent most of his time specifically in his teenage years when he was at home. A lot of reading. A lot of drug use. A lot of other activities...

His room is really small, so it’s really just room for a bed, his dresser, and his bookshelves. Because there were more than one bookshelves. 

Otherwise everything had to be fairly small and kept to his walls. 

It’s pretty chaotic, and cluttered. He’s a lot neater in the dorm tbh. 

OTHER

There is also his parents room which he hung out watching TV with them early mornings, when it was just one of those days nothing was happening. 

Also a bathroom which is small and not interesting.

The ‘dining room’ which is a table that is used for everything except eating. It’s where all the crap they’re carrying goes. They eat literally anywhere else except for on holidays of it they have GUESTS like important ones.

Any and All of Ollie’s friends are welcome to go to the Inoue apartment whether Ollie is there or not. They can just crash there his parents really don’t care. Especially if they are currently in some kind of bad way and need a place to be. They’re very nice people.

*************

Part 5.

He finally buys the furniture at Woodbury Market, knowing what Lindsey wants, or rather what Mary has sent him, he can get to work. He needs to make a couple of trips to load everything, the closet, some shelves, a chest of drawers, the desk and chair, he also buys a mosquito net to install in the sale, he also buys the protection bars to attach to the bed so Lindsey wouldn't fall out at night. Grab some more wood paint and head home. He parks the van with the back toward the porch so he can bring all the furniture down and then bring it into the house.

"Are you changing your room?" He hears from behind him and when he turns around he sees you standing next to the vehicle smiling.

You two still have that date, that dinner, pending, but for the last few days you've been in touch on the phone talking about his work in the field, your schedules, unimportant things, just keeping in touch. John likes the relationship you two have, sometimes he feels like a fifteen year old boy meeting a girl and not daring to ask her out.

"Hi, what are you doing here?" he asks you but tries not to sound rude, you laugh and point to your work van.

"I'm here to bring some stuff for Parrot Farm." You explain and point to all the furniture again with your eyes.

"I'm fixing up one of the rooms upstairs." He answers at last. "My daughter is coming to visit me when I get it ready." He waits a few seconds to give you that information and looks at you to check your reaction.

"Your daughter?" you ask in surprise. "I didn't know..." You whisper, but shake your head. "Do you need me to give you a hand with that?"

"Do you mind? If you have things to do..."

"Don't worry, I'll help you."

Between the two of you, you lower the remaining furniture off the side of the porch and then move it into the living room. John gasps in relief that he has everything home now, there are a couple of details missing, but they're ordered, so he doubts they'll be a problem.

"I sent a couple of things to the greenhouse, I didn't trust them to get here with the truck and I put your address on it." He looks at you a little embarrassed.

"No problem, I'll let the girls know and when it arrives I'll call you or give you a ride home." You offer and he nods.

"Thanks, I still have to finish painting the walls and I want to change the colors of the furniture..."

"Sounds like a lot of work, how are you managing in the field?"

"Fine, Hershel had a timer installed and it really saves me a lot of time, I just have to make sure the raft is full and he just works."

"Hershel has helped many here, he certainly knows what he's doing." You smile and fidget nervously. "I... I have to go, but... Do you want me to come over later and help you?" you offer biting your lip.

"Do you mind?" he looks at you with curiosity in his eyes. "I-I don't want to bother you, if you're busy or have plans..."

"No, no, I'll come over later and give you a hand."

"Great, thanks a lot." He smiles and gives you a hug pressing your body against his, you laugh and pat his back before breaking the hug.

"I have to go to work, see you this afternoon."

"Sure, see you later." He says goodbye and walks you to the door of his house.

John watches you leave before going back inside the house and continuing with his furniture task. Little by little he takes the pieces upstairs to the hallway leaving everything there, he still needs to give the last touches to the walls, the wall where the unicorn goes has been left pink for the vinyl he has bought, if it really is the size it says on the page, be thankful that you wanted to help him because he alone it will be impossible to place it.

**

After giving him the second coat, go down to eat, check that the drip irrigation is still working properly and open the water passage to fill what has been spent of water, that day it is his turn, so he can abuse a little. Leaving the passage open, he goes back inside the house to eat a little and go over some new bills that have arrived and to make numbers with the money he has left in the bank.

He should start looking for a job there, until he gets a return on his crops. He has no financial problems but the savings don't last forever and he has invested quite a bit between the land and Lindsey's room.

He has no regrets.

He throws the soda can in the trash can and goes back out to the pond, the water is already reaching its limit, so he turns off the tap and checks that the irrigation has also stopped. He smiles in satisfaction and goes back inside to start painting the furniture he bought.

They all have a dull brown color that doesn't characterize a children's room. He carefully lays some old carpeting on the floor and prepares the cans of wood paint; he will paint them all white and then alternate drawers in pink or purple, with the handles in green, these are the colors his daughter has chosen, so he is going to use them as much as possible, without being excessive.

He's just finishing assembling the master closet when he hears a knock at the door. He takes a few steps back to see how the set is coming together and clenches his fists. He hears the doorbell ring again and comes down the stairs wiping the paint off his fingers when he opens the door and sees you on the other side. You've changed clothes, you're wearing a loose fitting denim bib overalls and a tank top that covers you only up to your belly button as the bib overalls cover everything else, you smile and wave at him, John awkwardly shakes his head stepping aside to let you pass.

"I hope I'm not late, I had a double shift at work today, sorry." You apologize, but he shakes his head.

"Don't worry, I'm still painting the furniture, so I could use your help."

The two of you walk up to the room that will one day be for Lindsey, John really hopes it won't be too much longer than that, he walks into the room showing you what he's been doing, but not seeing you with him, he looks up and sees you in the doorway of the room.

"Is something wrong?" he looks at you worriedly.

"Y-you've done all this?" you're surprised, the room isn't finished, true, but just looking at the dedication in painting the walls and the huge closet repainted and decorated to the girl's taste.

"Yeah... What? You think it's too stuffy, you think she might not like it, should I just paint it one color?"

"It's... it's stunning, John, I'm sure she's going to love it." You smile at last and he breathes a sigh of relief.

"Thank you... you almost gave me a heart attack."

"I'm sorry, it's just... it's beautiful."

"Wait till you see it finished." He smiles proudly and holds out a paintbrush. "Will you help me?"

The two of you sit on the floor, on the carpet, starting to paint what's missing, following the order John wanted to keep with the colors. As you finished one piece of furniture, John would get up to assemble it, after it dried, and you would continue painting the next one. You don't know what time it is exactly, but it's late, there are still things left to dry, assemble and paint, you clearly need a break.

"I'll take you home." The farmer offers.

"No need, I came with my car. This Saturday I'm free, if you want I can come early and help you finish with the furniture."

"No." He says flatly and you frown. "Saturday we're going into city, you and me." He smiles staring at you. "You're helping me so much with all this and I don't even know how to thank you." He rubs the back of his neck looking down at the ground, self-conscious. "So I'd like to spend the day together... if you want to."

You struggle to react, blinking several times, but finally a nervous chuckle escapes you and you nod your head several times.

"Yes, yes, I'd love to, it's been a long time since I've been out of here." You say excitedly.

"Great, I'll pick you up around... nine o'clock? It's about a three hour drive..."

"Yeah, nine o'clock is fine, I... do you want me to wait for you at work or...?"

"I know where you live, I go straight there." he looks sideways at you, raising his eyebrows as he chews his lip, he looks adorable and at the same time has some mischief shining in his eyes.

You agree to let him stop by your house to pick you up, you agree on a time again and say goodbye until Saturday, possibly you'll see each other before then, but it's an official date and John feels like he's really looking forward to it.

**

The vinyl arrives sooner than he expects, so does the mattress for Lindsey's bed, forcing him to get the bed shell ready quicker than he intended, but it looks good, the paint is dry and everything fits perfectly, even the guard rails. She makes sure the canopy poles are secure and attaches the white fabric with pink highlights by tying it to the pole with a soft purple ribbon.

As he approaches the nursery in search of his things he feels all eyes on him like the first time he arrived, however, he is aware of what they are looking at as he has stopped to talk to you and feels his mouth pull up in a smile he can't disguise. You both are flirting in front of everyone. You don't mind the stares, you keep talking and laughing enjoying each other's company. When John comes home he leaves the bed fully prepared and in the evening you help him put up the vinyl on the wall where the bed is leaning.

"Lindsey is going to love it." You had told him and John really hoped you were right.

**

John is nervous. He feels almost as if he is about to walk into a meeting for the first time. Before he arrived, he had wondered if he should have gone through a meeting first, but it felt good, he felt confident that he could do it. He really hopes he can do it.

He takes a deep breath and gets out of the truck smoothing his shirt walking to your front door, knocking on the door.

You don't live on a farm like Hershel or him, the house is in one of the neighborhoods on the outskirts of town, with a fenced backyard and a white and blue two-story house. You open the door and John's eyes widen. No doubt he has to tell Mark that he is totally wrong.

You're wearing a pretty dress of light fabric, tight and ruffled across your chest, getting John to notice its size is larger than he thought it was, it marks your figure to your waist and then falls loose and light to your knees, it's a soft greenish shade with a small print, you've left your hair loose and it falls tangled over your shoulders. He smiles because you look a little embarrassed at his intense stare and he clears his throat.

"You look beautiful." He tells you sincerely.

"Thank you, you look handsome too, you shaved." You say touching his cheek.

"Just a little... Shall we go?"

You nod and ride in the van heading into town. You talk for a while on the way, nothing extensive just knowing if Lindsey's room is still on, which offends her father a little, but you both laugh and enjoy each other's company. John catches you glancing several times in the car mirror, nervously fidgeting uncomfortably in the seat.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, it's just... I haven't been in city in a long time..." you smile feeling a bit of an idiot.

"If it's any consolation it hasn't changed much, so you have nothing to worry about." He jokes and you smile gratefully. "Did you live with your family in town?" he asks curiously.

"No, actually I came for studies, I tried to stay but... there's too much noise, too many people, I didn't... I didn't feel ready."

"Don't worry, you're not the only one who has that feeling." He encourages you. "Do you have friends in town, do you want us to call them?" he offers but you shake your head.

"No, no, I had a group of friends, but over time we stopped seeing each other, I guess we each took a direction..."

"And any boyfriends?" he dares to ask and you look at him then laugh low.

"I had one too, but that was a long time ago, I don't remember him anymore." You shrug and he nods. "Jealous?"

"Of course not." He snorts feeling his cheeks burn. "I-I was just curious."

"It would be a little strange for him to be here and me to be in town...wouldn't it?"

"I guess." You look at each other and the two of you share a look laden with meaning.

John parks the car in a parking space his parents don't use and you go for a walk down the street. Not much has changed, as John has told you, but you discover new nooks and crannies that weren't there when you lived there. You stop at a children's store and look inside curiously, John follows you a few steps behind not knowing what exactly you're looking for, but he doesn't ask either.

"Shall we buy some stuffed animals for Lindsey?" You propose picking up a tremendously soft cat-shaped stuffed animal.

"I don't really have anything to decorate her room..."

"Other than everything you bought her?" you joke and he snorts. "I'll give it to her, if you don't mind."

"No, of course not... Do you want to meet her?" He dares to ask moving a little closer to you.

"Yes, of course, you've built a room from scratch just for her, trying to make it to her taste, you've spared no detail, it's... it's obvious she's very important to you." You shrug embarrassed, playing with the stuffed animal between your fingers.

John smiles moving closer to you, his hands brush against your cheeks and his lips kiss you slowly, his thumbs rubbing your cheeks and you sigh against his lips before breaking the kiss and smiling.

"Okay, I'll take that as you're fine with that." You laugh low and lose yourself through the shelves with him a few steps behind.

He watches you silently, you look excited and focused, his imagination running wild thinking about being able to touch you, to go back to that day on his couch that he stupidly messed up. His hands keep itching wanting to touch you again, to feel your soft skin, to remember your taste on his tongue. He groans shaking his head, not the best place to think about that kind of thing.

"Do you like it?" you move closer showing him a stuffed animal with googly eyes, but which is no particular animal.

"What's that supposed to be?"

"I'm not sure, but it's soft, funny, with adorable eyes and fluffy." You repeat waving the doll in front of his eyes.

"Okay, you've convinced me." He holds in a laugh and picks up the stuffed animal you're showing him, but you take it out of his hands.

"No way, I said I was giving it to her."

You leave the store after buying the stuffed animal for Lindsey, although it is not the only thing you have bought, from your bag hangs a doll similar to the one you bought but of a different size and color. John can't help but laugh and hold it up to look at it curiously.

"I thought you were going to buy Linds."

"And I did buy her one, but I couldn't resist, it's endearing."

He can't stop looking at you, there are so many differences between you, your mind enjoys the little things, things that maybe to others seem absurd, he's not calling you childish or immature, he just likes that innocence and curiosity he just discovered in you. Mature and responsible at work, now more relaxed you are fun and witty. He wonders if things could have been so simple before, if alcohol hadn't been in the way, maybe his old relationships would have been different. It's possible, but when he looks at you again he knows it's not just his addiction, there's something about you that makes him smile and feel like an idiot, the atmosphere is relaxed, the conversation flows without being awkward.

He walks up to you because you've stopped at a clothing store and holds your hand. You lift your head like a spring to look at him and feel your cheeks redden again because his smile makes you feel a flutter in your stomach.

"Is something wrong?" you dare to ask, but you don't let go of his hand.

"No, I'm just... glad to be here with you." He says sincerely.

You walk the rest of the walk holding hands until hunger overtakes you and you stop at a restaurant.

**********

It is in the evening when you arrive at John's farm, he has offered to invite you to dinner and you have not refused. You enter the house and go to the kitchen in search of a vase to put your flowers in. John gave them to you, you don't know where they came from, but you were talking to an old friend, the world is a small world sometimes, and when you said goodbye he was waiting for you with a small bouquet. It was a detail that melted your heart, you couldn't even help kissing him there in the middle of the street.

"I don't have any vase for flowers, but...." He walks up to you with a tall glass. "Maybe with this..."

"I think they'll survive." You joke.

You walk over to the kitchen faucet to fill the glass with some water. John bites his cheeks and walks over to you as well. He's been holding back as long as he can, but he can't hold it in anymore. Slowly, tangling his fingers in your hair, he pushes it aside, his free hand touches your waist and he leans over you, kissing your neck, little by little, moving up to your jaw, down again to your shoulder, his fingers caressing and squeezing your waist above your dress. You sigh closing your eyes, pushing your head aside, giving him more space, he growls at your positive reaction, sliding the tip of his tongue over the shape of your ear making you shiver. He releases your hair to bring his hand to your throat, your chin, his thumb caresses your lips and you suck on his finger, John mumbles, turns you around and you kiss intensely. His mouth catches your lower lip, biting it, tugging lightly on it. You gasp against his mouth before kissing him back, you hold him by the back of his neck, clinging to his body as much as possible, his hands fall to your ass and grab it tightly, he pulls you away from the kitchen and walks with you gropingly to the couch where he sits with you on top of him, just like that time. Excitement runs through John's body and his hands almost tremble on your ass as he pulls the skirt of your dress and his fingers make contact with the soft round skin of your buttocks and he gasps.

"Fuck, so soft..." He whispers against your mouth and you can't help but laugh.

You move your hips against his crotch and bite your lip as he is completely hard, you gasp and close your eyes as you feel him give you a little spank and pull you harder against him moving your hips against you. You kiss him harder, your tongues tangle, your lips suck on his tongue and his fingers press harder against your skin, trembling.

"Maybe I should stop?" you whisper against his mouth and he denies.

"No, no, please..." He writhes beneath you. "It won't happen again like the other day, but let me touch you."

You laugh softly at his desperation, take one of his hands and guide it inside your panties. John moans against your mouth and his fingers move over your folds feeling his fingers getting wet.

"All this for me?" he gasps, his voice hoarse.

"I've been like this since this morning you came looking for me." You confess in his ear and he snorts in despair. "I couldn't have fun the other time..." You stare at him and John bites his lip.

"I understand... take what you want, for now." He says the last with a grunt. John is dominant, you know he's not going to let you take control, but that he owes you an apology. Your body trembles with anticipation.

You kiss again, with desire, need, John bites your lips, squeezes your face between his hands, but you finally break away sliding down his body until you are on your knees between his legs. John stirs to unbuckle his pants, unbuckles his belt and unzips his fly, you help him pull his pants down to his ankles and do the same with his boxers. His cock jumps out in front of your eyes, slightly curved, leaning against his thigh, swollen, veins marching along its length. You've never thought a cock could be pretty, but it's certainly one you won't mind taking in your mouth.

You lean forward, your tongue running down its size until your lips close around its tip and you suck, looking up to see him. John leans back, head resting against the back of the couch, he grunts and spreads his legs a little further apart, he lifts his head again to watch his cock lose itself inside your mouth, your hand pumping as your mouth roams him. A moan vibrates between his lips, he is tempted to hold your head and fuck your mouth until he cums, but he holds back, he has many ideas for you and he hasn't started yet. He plans to run all over you and not stop until he makes a mess of you.

"Stop..." He asks you in a whisper, your lips sucking on his tip one last time before parting and licking your lips. "Let's go to my room..."

He helps you up off the floor. He kisses you unbuttoning your dress, pulls it over your head and undoes your bra as well. Your tits dance free before his eyes and he massages them between his hands, squeezes them together and takes your nipples into his mouth, licks and nibbles your areolas making you moan. He pulls away and takes your hand leading you to his room.

John lays you down on the bed, pulls your legs until your ass is at the edge of the mattress and kneels in front of you, spreading your legs apart while pulling your panties until he manages to pull them off and throw them somewhere in the room. His teeth catch the skin of your leg, following a line of kisses and bites until he reaches your inner thigh. He bites your skin hard, you let out a moan, but he doesn't stop, he bites and sucks leaving a clear purple mark on your thigh, he spreads some more marks along your thighs until he reaches your groin where he bites a little harder and you moan lifting your hips. His lips lightly brush your core getting your legs to tremble and you sigh, he looks sideways at you with a sly little smile on his mouth before running his tongue between your folds, you moan and he purrs at the taste of you on his tongue. He settles you better and his lips close around your clit, licking and sucking, touching it with his tongue, scratching it with his teeth, not hurting. Your back arches, you're unable to say anything, you've become a pile of babbles and moans, your knees tremble every time his tongue squeezes your nub, your breath catches as his tongue finds its way into your pussy and his hands caress your body until they reach your nipples, squeezing them at the same time his tongue fucks you. Your eyes roll and you moan louder resting your feet on his shoulders.

"John!" you moan his name moving your hips against his mouth.

He grunts and tries to hold you still, but your hips keep disobeying him. He releases your tits and lifts his head from between your legs hearing you protest. His eyes are dark blue with dilated pupils, he breathes hard through his mouth and his lips are wet from your juices.

"Believe me I want you to cum, but I'm trying to get you to be obedient."

"I'm trying, but it's your tongue's fault..." You justify yourself and he snorts.

"Should I stop?"

"No, no." You plead this time. "I'll be good." You promise him and he nods, the tip of his tongue grazes your clit again, swollen and craving attention. Your body jerks again.

John's mouth moves more intensely over your pussy now, his tongue flicks across you, his teeth and lips squeeze your clit, his fingers play with your tits and torture your nipples. You can't hold back any longer, screaming his name you bury your fingers in his locks of hair and cum in his mouth, feeling your whole body tremble, as his tongue enters deeper into you as if to devour you. Your mind slowly returns from its high still feeling his tongue licking your folds. He kisses your clit one last time before sitting up from the floor. His fingers rub his cock, swollen, red head, a trickle of preseminal begins to drip from the tip. You lick your lips and move in ready to put it in your mouth again, but he stops you, in the drawer of the small table he picks up a condom. You take it out of his hand and without looking away you place it on his cock with your mouth.

"Fuck..." He huffs grabbing you by the hair. "What did they teach you in the city?" he teases and you purr on his cock, the vibration running up and down his length digging into his balls. "Lie down." He asks you as he slides the condom completely over his length and lies down on top of you.

He grabs one of your legs and places it over his shoulder. You stare at each other intensely, panting, your noses brushing as John rubs his cock against your folds and finally thrusts into your pussy. You close your eyes as you feel his size and moan low, he has his eyes locked on you, breathing hard, taking in every grimace you make as he rocks his hips staying completely inside you. John squeezes the sheets between his fingers as your pussy closes around his cock, squeezing it. He snaps like an animal and moves outward to thrust hard again. A cry of pleasure escapes your mouth, hoarse, deep, he leans further over your body, leaving you trapped under his weight, your leg over his shoulder, his fingers loosening the sheets to tangle in your hair. His hips begin to move faster, more intense, he grunts and gasps as you kiss and his hips move faster.

A gasp of surprise escapes your mouth as you feel his fingers seek your clit again, moving fast over it, increasing your pleasure so that pleasure quickly forms in your lower belly and you burst, you hug yourself to his body, moan against your ear, your pussy squeezes his cock and you hear him moan low as he cums too, filling the condom. His hips move much slower as you recover from your orgasm. John carefully lifts himself off your body to remove the condom and throw it in the bathroom trash.

When he returns to the bedroom, you are still lying there waiting for him, wanting to know what is going to happen next. John lies down next to you and kisses you, you embrace and he caresses your body. His caresses and warmth gradually lull you to sleep. Maybe you should talk about this, but sleep overcomes you both.

TO KNOW YOU’RE NOT ALONE

Chapter 1 - Our start of forever

Alina never second guessed her decision to forsake her name and life at once with the Fold. As she watched her body burn along with the Darkling, the sweet smoke stinging her nose, Mal’s warm hand holding hers, she knew she made the right choice. The people had their martyred Sankta and she - finally, finally – had her peaceful and ordinary life, with her love, away from wars, schemes and magic of any kind. A perfectly exceptional, ordinary life.

Genya, David, Zoya and Nikolai understood Alina’s wish for a quiet existence, maybe even envied her a bit for having it become a reality. And while Nikolai and Zoya offered both her and Mal positions of influence in the ravkan court and the Grisha Triumvirate, they understood when their proposition was refused. Nikolai, however, could not accept his friend’s refusal, when he offered them both a monthly stipend for their efforts in stopping the Darkling and took it upon himself to rebuild the orphanage of Keramzin. Albeit reluctant, Alina and Mal accepted, knowing life would be difficult and caring for and orphanage even more so, when they had nothing to their name.

Such the day has come for them to leave Os Alta. The group of six said their goodbyes in the Little Palace courtyard, teary hugs and promises to visit exchanged. The last to hug her, Genya held onto Alina a moment longer and embraced her a fraction tighter - a part of their life was over for good.

As their farewell ended, Zoya approached with a box, tightly wrapped.

“Open it later. And know we mean it.”

A nod of her head and another poignant smile later, Alina sits next to Mal in their carriage, hands tightly held, watching the world pass them by and their future come to them. As they have always wanted it to be.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

That day, in a small, ravaged chapel from a small, ravaged village, a young couple stood in front of each other and promised their lives and loves to one another. The priest, their only witness heard none of the names the young hearts whispered to each other. He heard those written on the license. And then forgot them fast.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The construction of the orphanage took less time than expected. Things tend to move along way faster when a ravkan prince commissions the building. Not that the village of Keramzin was aware of that.

Word started going around from the moment the two young newlyweds - that bought Duke Keramasov’s ruined lands - arrived at the only inn in those grounds. People did not decide to settle in Keramzin by choice – they were either born and raised and too old to leave or young but too poor to go. No one chose to stay in Keramzin and make a life out there. Especially after the war, after the Darkling and after what was to come. Yet this couple came in and took the market by storm, buying homeware, furniture and clothes for dozens of people, in all sizes. The butchery, grain and vegetable vendors and the live animal merchants were very happy those days, making quite hefty sales and the promise of contract for monthly merchandise delivered to the old Keramsov’s grounds. Such abundance has never been seen in Keramzin. So, they took the coin with a dose of skepticism. But they all understood when the baker, Dima, took courage to talk to the young man.

“Say, lad…aren’t you storing a few too many breads and beds for the two of you alone? And your woman is a slight lass at that…” He asked, shifting his eyes over the small frame of the woman.

“We’re making sure we have enough for when the children come.” Answered Mal with a smile, knowing how they attracted the attention of the villagers, albeit unwillingly.

“You’re too young to have grown children.”

“Not ours.” Interrupted Alina smiling. “We are opening the orphanage again; we’re preparing for when the children come.” She knew the whole village would find out soon anyway, and maybe this would help stump the mistrust of the people

The baker released a grunt, clearly not interested in a warmer response now that he had his answer. He packed the bread and send the pair on their way, their goodwill not thawing his frigid reaction.

Thank you to all of you who have showed interest in this little project of mine. I truly did not expect anything when I first posted so knowing that someone is actually reading what I write was a bit demoralizing. Add a severe bout of depression into the equation and you have me :)

I will make no promises regarding posting schedule and chapter lengths because I might change the way I do things along the way. Right now I am going to try and post smaller chapters, more often. I am also hoping this will help with my excessive overthinking.

Again, thank you for your time and good day. O.
