How I Destroyed the Main Questline at my new job

Chapter 6 - Street Thugs

Although they both looked human I knew Better than to assume someone's race off of looks alone. Although faint they both gave off an aura of dominance.

“Thank you for aiding our siblings. My name is Juliana, and this is my sister Meagan. I'm honestly sorry to say, we have no money to repay you for your deeds. All we can give you is our gratitude”

Of the two women she was the shorter one, waves of raven dark hair ending with loose curls crowned her head.

Her eyes although glowed a honey brown, the black of her eyes gave nothing away. Such rich dark skin, it's hard to say if I've ever seen anyone with such an even tone.

She couldn't be more than 16 or 17 years old, standing at about 5’8” just a bit shorter than my previous self.

Her sister Meagan on the other hand had brunette hair with hints of gold and yellow, her skin was a soft caramel color. Her age seemed not far off from her sisters but she looked close to 6’ tall.

Looking at the kids there had to be close to two dozen of them maybe more and they're referring to each other as siblings. Some of the children have wings, and scales, while others are absent of unique characteristics.

Juliana followed my gaze, with a light nod like she knew what I was thinking and continued on.

“Although all of us are not related by blood, many of us have similar circumstances of not having any parents.

We've stuck together through hard times and help each other survive.”

Oh.. that's close to what I had already been thinking.

“there's no need to explain, and I didn't help looking to receive a reward.

If you're truly grateful I would appreciate some help finding a place I can sell [Horned Rabbits] to and an inn with decent food that's not to pricy.

I'm willing to give you and your family one for the help.”

Meagan looked shocked at my retort but quickly hid her expression again within moments.

Juliana on the other hand didn't even flinch at my statement.

“Mmm I don't think that will be a problem at all. Although the area isn't the best it meets all your requirements.”

“Thank you I don't mind the area it's only temporary until I find something more stable.”

*****

Walking at a moderate pace and it still took more than an hour to enter the east district. Eventually Meagan and the kids all disappeared into one alley or another taking the still recovering children with them.

Before Bert, the boy who stepped forth to give aid by using his healing magick, disappeared into the alley with the others, he gave me a strong look as if memorizing my face.

All that was left was me and Juliana as we silently walked further into the city. The entire way she would nod as if in deep thought. The first stop was to show me the location of the inn, a three minute walk further down lead to a butcher that would buy the rabbit meat.

“Oh great this is really helpful I appreciate you taking the time out to guide me.”

I made a grasping motion with my hand and out of thin air the bunnies corpse appeared.

“Here is my promise to you, please keep in mind it hasn't been bled yet. But it's freshly caught today!”

Juliana took hold of the 20+lbs rabbit being sure to tightly holding it close to her body. It was honestly a bit comedic seeing such tiny arms holding the large rabbit.
