There were merchants, traders, hagglers and definitely a few pickpockets flooding the streets. As they passed by a food stall, Mylo swiped a dragonfruit from the sleeping stall keeper. They passed by 8 foot tall men with armour and metal plating on their head and many other people. As they continued walking, Y/N noticed something, a stall with what looked like a rock like beetle thing with bright, shining, blue eyes, or better known as a Krug. It was about up to Y/N's knee in height and it gave out a distressed cry. The animal keeper bashed its' cage with a stick. Y/N turned to him and began speaking.
Y/N: Good day my fine sir. Umm, how much would it be for that Krug you have there?
Animal Keeper: Scram kid, serious buyers only.
Y/N produced a small purse from his pocket and emptied it onto a crate. It had a small fortune worth in it. Y/N had pickpocketed one of the Piltovian citizens when running away from the Enforcers and fortunately, both cities still used the same currency.
Animal Keeper: Well then, I can't say no to a good deal can I? Listen kid, I'll give you the Krug for ... lets say 5 crowns?
Y/N: 5 crowns?! I'll give 2.
Animal Keeper: 4!
Y/N: 3!
Both: 3 and a half!
They both said in unison. The Animal Keeper smirked and Y/N did his best to show his teeth behind his mask. They shook hands and Y/N handed over 3 and a half crowns worth in gems. The Animal Keeper counted each gem and after he had finished, he unlocked the cage and the Krug crawled towards Y/N and rolled into his arms.
Y/N: Pleasure doing business with you.
Animal Keeper: Likewise.
Y/N rocked the Krug in his arms like a baby as he ran off to catch up with everyone else. He caught up with everyone else who were walking past a nightclub with drunk and smoking people outside. An old, yordle prostitute waved flirtatiously at Claggor who shivered and doubled his walking pace. They arrived at the pub where they lived at. It was called, The Last Drop, and it was the heart of Piltover with possibly the best person owning it. That being, of course, Vander. They all came in and didn't take eye contact with anyone. Y/N saw Vi glance over her shoulder at someone. He turned around and saw Vander sitting at a table with the scrawny waiter and 2 crooks by the look of it. Vander watched them carefully and Y/N waved, only to get his arm tugged down by Claggor. Even the Krug tried to bring his arm down with its' pincer like mouth. They all climbed down into the cellar where they sat on sofas and chairs. Vi had her head in her hands, Y/N took of his mask and Mylo had put his feet on the table.
Vi: Vander learns none of this!
Mylo: No worries there, Powder took care of the evidence.
Powder: I tried ok! You don't get it, you're older, you're bigger, it- it isn't fair.
Mylo: So stick with us, take a punch or two.
Y/N: Boulder!
Everyone turned to face Y/N with puzzled faces.
Powder: What?
Y/N: It's this guy's name now, Boulder!
The Krug wiggled happily on Y/N's lap, it seemed to like the name. Slowly, the door opened and Vander stepped inside. Y/N waved happily again, trying to counter everyone's glum faces.
Vander: Everyone alright?
Mylo: (Sigh) Never better.
Vander: Good. I don't suppose you can explain why it is I'm hearing about an explosion and a foot chase topside? 5 children feeling the scene.
