She silently nodded with her eyes closed as she listened carefully. Meanwhile the three children were running around the cat girl trying to catch each other. They still had some of the food in their hands as they ran around. The other small sister Emi had stopped next to Hamaguchi and started pulling onto her ear. Hamaguchi her head moved along with the occasional pulling as she was still sitting there in deep thought. Hamaguchi came to a simple conclusion. [center][color=f6989d]"I guess herbalists are your best bet. There are some in the kingdom but they are located in the more wealthy area of Lugnica. I'm not so well known with that part since everything is so expensive there and I rarely come to that part of the capital."[/color][/center] Anyone could have thought about that but it was the thought that counted. The sibling continued to pull on her ear with Hamaguchi not really minding. The other sibling also joined on in and pulled her cheek while the boy tried pulling her tail out. Yep it was all pretty common to her it seemed. Addison asked about the currency here. Hamaguchi poked up one of her coins that she got. It was a silver coin. Her speech sounded a little weird by Eli pulling her cheek from her body. [center][color=f6989d]"One silver coin, it is used the most to pay normal items. If you have one hundred copper coins you basically have a silver coin. Same with golden coins but they are mostly used to not have your pockets filled with silver coins or copper coins. What is there more to say about it. You earn them by working. Everyone gets another pay-"[/color][/center] Hamaguchi her one ear twitched making all the three siblings stop for a moment and look a little confused at the bigger sister. The bigger sister was frozen in place her face as white as a towel. Cold sweat started forming on her face as her ears drooped back against her head. [center][color=f6989d]"Y-you know where to hide you three... Please take Addison with you."[/color][/center] The siblings looked a little scared at Hamaguchi but all gave a short nod after each other. One after the other darted off to sit in a dried small river under a small bridge. It was clear they would mostly sleep there looking at the cushions and jackets on the area itself. Eli came to pick up Addison. She tucked on her pants and tried dragging her with her. [center][color=f49ac2]"Come come Addie! Sis tells use to hide nya!"[/color][/center] From a short distance you could see a bunch of oddly looking guys approaching their play ground. Hamaguchi had already heard them coming since she felt silent. Hamaguchi stood up as she waited for them to get closer. Her ears were both back against her head with her head tilted forwards a bit, she peered in between her bangs at the guys and looked quite afraid to be honest. [center][color=9e0b0f]"Oh my, oh my, oh my, if it isn't miss kitty. Back from work already? That is fine though, we can collect your taxes earlier if you want hehe."[/color][/center] [center][h2][color=9e0b0f]Nick[/color][/h2] [img]http://i.imgur.com/8xkcqJV.png[/img][/center] The punk looking guy grabbed her by the shirt and lifted her slightly off the ground. Hamaguchi squinted her eyes a little and raised both hands to grab onto his so she didn't choke to death. [center][color=f6989d]"O-oh that is no problem N-nick, I can pay you right n-nyow he... he..."[/color][/center] Hamaguchi got one of her hands over towards her pockets and got out a small bag with all her coins from work. She quickly tried to get out half the coins to give to nick but shuddered a lot. [center][color=f6989d]"J-just a moment N-nyck."[/color][/center] Hamaguchi counted as quick as she could but accidently dropped one of her coins. Her eyes trailed after it but she couldn't care about it right now. She handed Nick the coins and gave him a terrified smile. [center][color=f6989d]"H-here they are N-nick. Please keep protecting us like you always do hehe..."[/color][/center] She didn't want her sisters to think it was some kind of robbery but that instead. They would feel safer and nick wouldn't treat her all that bad by knowing it. Nick got the coins from her and counted for a moment. [center][color=9e0b0f]"You miss two missy."[/color][/center] Nick looked pretty unpleased by what she had showed him. Hamaguchi gave him a look of bazzledness. She was sure she counted right and didn't believe him one bit but. [center][color=f6989d]"Here you go Nick, sorry for that hehe... I should have paid more attention."[/color][/center] Hamaguchi felt her bag disappearing from her hand. It was punched away from her scattering all the coins over the ground. A look of terrify struck over Hamaguchi her face. Her shirt was let go too making her fall backwards in the mud. She didn't care about her white clothes now or that she couldn't go to the shop now since her clothes were dirty but more about the coins. She quickly went over the ground to get all of them while Nick grinned at the sight. A heavy foot hit her stomach sending her flying against a wooden fence nearby. An unpleasant welp could be heard as she hit the fence, it looked quite painful. She coughed for a moment but stood up and got the coins again whilst Nick was laughing. [center][color=9e0b0f]"Disgusting haha. It has been a pleasure miss kitty."[/color][/center] [center][color=f6989d]"N-no problem Nick..."[/color][/center] She said with a hurt voice and a cough in between while flashing a smile and standing up with her coin bag again. That didn't go half bad. Nick walked away giving her a goodbye wave before he started walking off with his gang letting out a loud laugh altogether. More than half the people in the slums had seen the scenario and spoke to each other about it but didn't help. They were all terrified of Nick and how they could be his next target. Hamaguchi stood there silently. Her clothes, fur and half her face were brown of mud There were some bruises on her arms but she could still smile with an half broken smile at the four of them with the bag still in her hands. She still had money for food.
