Celeste was currently keeping herself busy while Kuiil was out wrangling some wild blurrg's to take back to their dwelling. Today was like any other boring day, but luckily there was lots of things to get done. Celeste was currently fixing one of the lights that have been out for week now, which was bothering Kuiil all last night. If Celeste was being honest, it was bothering her as well. She was quite scared sleeping this past week, afraid some of those crazed thug maniacs might sneak up around their place, and kill her in her sleep.
It didn't take the girl too long to figure out the issue with the light, and began to slowly re-screwing everything into place. While doing so, she heard Kuiils mumbling along with his footsteps from behind her, but she soon noticed he brought someone along due to loud stomping.
"Brought a friend along back, I see." Celeste comments while turning around to see Kuiil & a stranger in full armor. Obviously she wasn't all that surprised that they got company, because it wasn't the first time. Many bounty hunters come to fulfill their mission, but usually ended up dead before it even starts.
"Yes, another bounty hunter." Kuiil comments before leading the man into their home. Slowly but surely, Celeste made her way in, catching the man's eye once again.
"Many have passed through, many that seek that same one as you." Kuiil tells the man who was seated in one of their chairs.
"Did you help them?" He asks the old man, who was heating up some water on the stove. "Yes—They died."Kuiil informs the man, while brewing the man a drink.
"Well, I don't know if I want your help." The man spoke, causing Celeste to roll her eyes at his comment. He was just like any other bigheaded bounty hunter that would get himself killed in the process.
"You will." Celeste tells the swollen-headed man, with a slight attitude. She couldn't care for people of his sort, especially since Kuiil invited him over willingly.
"I can show you to the encampment." Kuiil tells the man while handing the bounty hunter freshly brewed Moogan tea.
"What's your cut?" The man asks Kuiil, causing Celeste to roll her eyes once again, but due to the question, before seating next him.
"Half." Kuiil tells him.
"Half the bounty to guide? Seems steep." He says obviously not liking kuiil's price, even though that wasn't what the man was talking about.
"No, half of the blurgg you helped captured." Kuiil corrects the man, before handing over a cup of tea to Celeste as well.
"The blurgg? You can keep them both." The man tells Kuiil, not really caring for the animal. "No, you'll need one to ride—The way is impossible to pass without a blurgg mount." Kuiil corrects the man once more.
"I don't know how to ride Blurrg." He informs the older man.
"I have spoken."

After the three talked for a few hours and ate dinner, the old man decided to finish up some of the tasks they did not manage finish earlier in the day, while Celeste kept herself busy with washing the dishes.
"I'm surprised to see someone so young want to live on a planet like this." The man says to Celeste, causing her to shake her head at his comment. She did not want to live here, but she didn't mind it either.
"You can not choose where your born, unfortunately." She tells the man without looking over at him once.
"You were born here?" He asks clearly shocked that anyone but Kuiil lived on this planet.
"Yeah. Well, at least I think so... I never met my real parents. I was left with Kuiil, before I could even talk or even walk for that matter." She says while finishing up the last of the dishes. "Oh, I'm sorry." He apologizes, causing her to smile at the man's words.
"Don't be— Kuiil gave me a better life than anyone else could've." She says while drying off the last dish, before twirling around to face the man.
"I'm Celeste, by the way." She introduces herself along with a small smile playing on her lips.
"Nice to meet you, Celeste" The man says before a long pause room over the two. Right before she could tease the man if he had a name, Kuiil interrupted.
"Celeste could you please show this man to his bed, I sense that we will have a long day tomorrow." The man spoke causing her to immediately nod.
"Yes. Follow me." She says, before leading the man in armor further into the home.
"So this is where you'll be staying. It's not much, but I hope—" She begins saying, until man interrupts her mid sentence .
"It's great, thank you." He says.
"I shall leave you then, sleep well."celeste tells the man before walking out of the room. "Same too you." He says back before she completely walks off
As Celeste fully walks out of the room, she passed Kuiil who was currently gulping down some tea in the middle of the kitchen.
"What are your thoughts?" He asks the girl, clearly wanting to know her opinion about the man.
"He won't last." She tells Kuiil, which shocks him. But then again, he thinks maybe she's just given up hope with the hunters constantly coming on by.
"Really? But he's a Maladorian!" He exclaims to the girl, but in her eyes it didn't matter. "I have spoken." Celeste says with a playful smile on her lips, before heading into her room.
