Flashback The Old Stomping Grounds

[Athinar]

Athinar stood there, in shock as the man snatched the pouch of money out of his hands, and then gave it back to the fat man. Incredulously, he thought, He didn't keep it for himself? But... why? He had time enough to take it and leave. Listening to the purple man's reprimanding of the greasy person, he smirked, but that smirk was quickly wiped off of his face when he became the target of the frowning gaze. Listening, shamefaced, he looked up at the man when he was finished, and said, "Well, ser, I don't know of any jobs for me. I mean, really. Not much is available in the line of work for a scrawny little one like me. Unless I wanted to be a courier for a family, which my da doesn't want me to be. Says only fools get involved with those sorts." Nudging his foot around in the dust on the street, he drew lines and erased them, ashamed.

[Rykanis Dakshata]

Clearly Rykanis rebuke had hit the boy hard, and though he looked him in the face, as an escape he drew in the dirt of the street, shuffling his feet about, scraping over them and starting anew. Rykanis did not let him get off that easy though, as he listened to his answer. He was not sure if he was being honest, or just lying, but either way his response was unchanged. "Maybe so, but doing as you are now is going to wind up getting you killed, or worse. And saying there is nothing else to do, that sounds like a lazy mans answer, taking the easy way out. Assuming there is nothing better, so not even trying." "You could find someone skilled to apprentice under, to take on their trade. Something. What does your father do? And it is not always about strength of arm. There are more than one ways to take on a Glassbeak, and not all of them end with you dead. And most don't involve head on attacks, at least the ones that work." Rykanis released the hold he had on the boy, while still glaring down at him. "And I won't always be here to pull your pants out of the fire. Next time, you might not be so lucky, and might end up with a blade in your back. What if the next person you rob, is not quite as much of a fool as you expected, like this man turned out to be?"
