Rebel
Juan had never felt as alone as he now felt having made friends. He had ruined his friendship with Reya and he’d gotten Rocco involved with the Children of the Sun before leaving him behind with them. Now sitting on the roof of one of the many appraisal shops of Water 7’s business district he found himself unable to hold back his tears,”Why do I have to mess everything up?” He whispered to himself. Juan’s face was covered with tears and he was afraid to even wipe them away with his hands due to the presence of these freaky paw pads on his hands. ”I’m such a Fucking freak,” Juan sobbed, unable to really hold himself together with all the rapid changes that had occurred in in his life recently. ’It feels like my life is controlled by some shitty depressed writer’ With that thought though, Juan calmed himself down a bit. ’No one could be shitty enough to write my life how it’s gone down unless he really hated himself. I need to just accept that my life is shitty and try to change it.’
Standing up and using his sleeve to wipe his tear stained face, he jumped off the roof and used his wings to painlessly glide down to the door of the appraisal shop. One of these shops would be the right place to have his hands looked at. There was no way he could go to any doctor now that he had a bounty on his head, and a shop like this would likely have seen all sorts of strange treasures; maybe they had seen something like his hands before.
As Juan walked through the door of the small appraisal shop his balled fists were hidden inside of his pockets. He was terrified of someone within seeing his paw pads and judging him. Luckily for him, there was no one inside the shop, but his hands still stayed inside of his pockets. Walking up to the counter of the store a visibly sweating Juan would ask the amused store worker a question,"So you probably see a lot of crazy things working in a place like this right?" While Juan knew that it sounded like a dumb question he felt that he needed to ask for his own feeling of security. With a smirk, the store worker would rub his hands and say,[color=red]"Yeah I've seen my fair share of strange treasures. It sounds like you have something juicy to share with me today. While the man's greed was what truly fueled his curiosity, it seemed genuine enough to give Juan the coruage to pull his hands from his pockets before opening them in front of the man's eyes. "You ever seen something like these?" As the store worker saw Juan's hands, his look of greedy curiosity turned into one of extreme amusement as he broke into loud laughter. "What kind of freak are you?" The man would ask through his howling laughter,"I've NEVER seen anything half as freaky as you are man. What kind of freaky person has paws on their regular hands? Your mother get a bit too involved with a minkman? That what happened freak? You some kind of gross halfbreed?" The worker was immensely amused by what was going on, and his laughter only served to make Juan angrier.
