| Raphael: Wolfz. You okay?
Wolfz: I'm fine. Just a little tired.
Raphael: Makes sense. Your body's draining itself of the adrenaline after the battle. No wonder.
*Raphael walks out the door and heads down the main street of Dale. The everyday noises of life at its norm is heard.*
Little Boy: Daddy! I wanna be like him!
Raphael: Nah, you don't wanna be like me. Grow up to be a strong person, and protect the good people, aight?
Little Boy: OK! *Walks away happily.*
???: Aww. I never knew you could be so inspiring.
Raphael: ... Lily... it's been a while.
Lily: You're right.
*A brunette steps out of the shadows. She is clad in a red uniform, with a matching crimson red dress. She has hazel eyes, and red nail polish. She wears high heels, all red. Even here ear rings have rubies in them.*
Raphael: Seems you've been doing quite we-
*Lily slaps Raphael.*
Lily: Why'd go and leave me, huh, smartass?
*Zacxko, watching from their room, sees the incident. He calls over everyone else, and then proceeds to open the window so as to hear Lily telling off Raphael.*
Lily: You cheapskate bullshit eating bum! Leaving me during the theater! And you knowing that there were thugs after us!
Raphael: You can take care of yourself.
Lily: What's with the calm voice?! I can see that you've changed! Used to be a hotheaded little asswipe!
Zacxko: *Snickers*
Raphael: Shut up, Zacxko.
Zacxko: !!!
Lily: Who's Zacxko? You haven't been hittin' Trinity, have you?
Raphael: I haven't been using any drugs at all.
Lily: Riiight... Anyways, what the Hell are you doin' out here?
Raphael: Looking for you.
Lily: Oh, so you think that I'm just gonna accept all your apologies, is that it? Well listen up, trash, cause I'm gonna say this once. It's not gonna work.
Raphael: I didn't come here to apologize to you. I'm not here to start up our romance again. I'm asking you to come along with me and some others to help find some missing caravans.
Lily: Wha...? You're... serious. This is just a business offer...
Raphael: Yes. I don't think I'll be able to love ever again. Not since that time you tried to convince me that you were 'The One.'
Lily: Raphael...
Raphael: Do you accept?
Lily: What's the pay?...
Raphael: 15000 gold, out of my personal purse. Or a 5% cut of my income, whichever.
Lily: Your income's so high that it's not even classified... I'll take the 5%. What am I supposed to do?
Raphael: Tag along. We have room 124 at the Inn.
Lily: Our old room...
Raphael: Pure coincidence. Zacxko booked it. Bye. *Walks off.*
Lily *Sobbing*: Raphael...
