"Ugh! This is so annoying!" A boy groaned as he pulled out his spear from a boar's stomach.

This particular boy was wearing a small cloak that covered his whole body, although the cloak never really did it's job as it would act more of a cape when traveling, it cut off at his hips and arms. Under the cloak he wore a black, sleeveless undershirt with black, skin-tight leggings and some black boots. The cloak was a dark purple color that was strapped on by a strap that wrapped around the boy's right shoulder and under his left armpit. He also had an amulet pieced on to the fingerless glove on his right hand.Traveling up the right arm, you are able to see bandages strapping around his entire arm. But the most apparent feature were his dioxazine ears and tail that looked to be of a wolf, the same color as his hair.

"Tsuko looks tired. I finish hunting and you take rest." Razor, his brother, offered. The two were currently hunting, to have food for the night. Tsuko had woken up very early due to having to babysit Klee for Jean. Luckily for him Jean took her back this afternoon. But with Tsuko's bad luck, it was his turn to hunt. Razor noticed the drowsiness in Tsuko's eyes and offered to accompany him just in case something like this would happen.

"No, it's fine Razor. I can take care of my duties. I wouldn't want you to have to do all the work. I'm already taking classes with Diluc to learn how to speak properly and grammar and all that. You have to be taking care of everything while I'm gone and I don't like knowing that you are overworking yourself." Tsuko explained.

Tsuko started to pull the previously killed boar onto the already piled up boars near them. There were at least ten already, but this week was the unlucky week of the wolves having more appetite. He then went to find some more boar, leaving Razor to guard the food. He spent some time hunting before they had more than twenty boars on deck.

He grabbed some nearby sticks and started a fire. He cut one or two of the boars into pieces and started cooking the pieces for Razor and himself. You know the typical time of 'not wanting to get salmonella' cooking. Soon the cooking was finally done and the two started eating.

"Did you learn today?" Razor asked, looking up from his piece of meat after swallowing. Tsuko tilted his head in question, he didn't have class with Diluc today and he didn't accompany Amber on her patrol.

"Do you mean the training I had with Jean?" Tsuko asked for confirmation, receiving a nod from his brother. "Well I didn't get to train much because Klee was there watching us and occasionally bombed the training area so we ended up just taking care of Klee until it was time for them to go." Tsuko said, smiling at Razor who mirrored the other.

"Also memories?" Razor asked suddenly, startling Tsuko.

"No luck on my memories yet, sadly." Tsuko sighed. Tsuko has been trying to salvage his memories from when he was younger, to be more specific the time before Razor found him. Although there was one clue, the name Baal. He thought nothing of it, knowing that even if he had some type of connection to the Electro Archon, there would be no evidence to link them together. He has tried going to Dragonspine and even located all the Anemo God's statues to pray for any type of help or guidance. But no such luck.

"Yeah, I think I'm just going to give up, if anything I'm happy being with you here." Tsuko smiled at Razor, albeit the smile was a sad one. Razor didn't know what to say, so he stayed quiet for both of their sakes.

After eating, Tsuko put out the fire and they both left the pile of food for the wolves to eat. They wordlessly walked into a small cave they created for housing and cuddled into one another for some warmth, Tsuko wrapping his tail around them.

"Good night Tsuko." Razor said into Tsuko's chest. Tsuko smiled and kissed the top of Razor's head signaling a good night to Razor, as he did every night. After a few seconds of silence Tsuko could hear light snores seeping through Razor's mouth, and took this as a sign to be able to fall asleep.
