Dragoncrest Cliffs okay, well, that’s a mutual thing.

no dice. the boy was gone.
well, that's some shit news..
cayetano looks down at the conch
as it is thrust back into his lap.
funny how this man could look so polite
and yet, be so unfriendly.

cayetano looks up, not in the least discouraged.
if it's all the same, it wasn't the boy i wanted.
that didn't sound right. he hastily tacks on:
i met a girl too, and she gave me a task
for food.
i owe her something, and i'm here to give it back
and maybe if it suits you,
join the pack.

he can tell this man's not keen
it's in the way his eyes bore
and his shoulders hunch.
cayetano spreads his palms in an open gesture,
trying his best to appear harmless.
name's cayetano, by the way.
