The docks of Meruni

Skylark took in a deep breath once he stepped off of the gang plank. He let the breath out slowly and smiled. "Do you smell that Tsukasa? Fresh food!" He exclaimed in excitement as he looked back over his shoulder at his companion.

"Fresh food? Whats that?" Tsukasa joked sarcastically as she stepped down beside him. The scars on her lips twisted up into a fake smile, and even though she was almost always constantly scowling, no one would ever be able to tell. As far as everyone else in the world was concerned, Tsukasa was always smiling.

"Come on, lets hurry up and get some food while we search for recruits..." Skylark then headed off down the street.

The street was jam packed with people and merchant stalls. Fish flew over Sky's head as fishermen tossed them to and fro. There were stalls lined with jewelry, pottery, cutlery, clothes, silk, wool, bread, vegetables, and many other things. "Hey, look!" He stated as he ran over to a stack of cages. Skylark then pointed to one that had a red fox kit in it. "Hes so cute!" The young man exclaimed.

Tsukasa walked over and placed her hands on her hips, "C'mon Sky, the captain will kill you if you bring another animal on board, you already have enough..."

"One, I have one... Don't you think Butter needs a friend?" He asked?

"No, now come on!" Tsukasa grabbed hold of Sky's arm and pulled him away.
