Looking for work((Open))

Ren walked the streets of the Fire Nation looking for any job he could do. He was hungry, tired, and just wanted to do something. "Isn't there anything i can do around here?" he asks knowing that no one is around to answer. "I can hold my own in a fight with almost anyone. I'm helpful and i don't ask for much. I may be young, but i'm pretty qualified to work for just about anyone." The 15 year old mercenary had been out of work since before he entered Ba Sing Se til' the minute he left. He had hoped there would have been something he could do in the Fire Nation. " I can't believe i might actually die of starvation." He said in disbelief. "Either that or boredom." He added jokingly even though he was completely alone.

The sun was shining over the firenation, a soothing breeze flowing througout the streets that cooled them down in the roasting heat of the sun. Itou wandered through the streets, whistling a cheerful tone. He had returned home from his 'vacation' and was now taking a walk through the streets getting used to the firenation architecture once more. Soon in the distance he spotted someone, he had seen him before, but couldn't quite decide where he had seen him before. As Itou came closer he soon recognized the boy. It was Ren, the boy he had met in Ba Sing Se, but something was different about him. As Itou came closer, he waved towards him, a big grin on his face. "Ren, was it?"

I notice Itou from when i'd mt him in Ba Sing Se. "Oh... Hey old man." Ren began greeting him as a friend instead of an elder. He needed a either a job or nourishment which he was sure Itou could provide. "I thought you would still be back in Ba Sing Se." He said trying to wait before he asked for a job.

Itou examines the boy, something was different about him, perhaps he had lost some weight, he wasn't completly sure. "Nah, my vacation there is over for now" He said, smiling, as he finally reached the boy. "Would you care to join me for a meal?" Itou said cheerfully. "Of course I will pay" He finished, somehow knowing that the boy hadn't eaten for days. It could clearly be seen.

Ren took a minute trying not to look to desperate. "Yes... thank you for the generous offer." He said calmly so he wouldn't sound completely helpless. He had to find a job and quick. He had no way to access his off shore source so he had to find another job and fast. "I know you don't me to well, but is there anyway you an help me find a job?"

Itou smiled towards the boy as he accepted his offer. He started walking towards one of the restaurants in the town as Ren asked him something. Itou turns around and smiles towards him, nodding slightly "I can help you find a job, I know alot of people around here and I am sure finding a job for you won't be too difficult. But for now, let's go and have a bite of food, shall we?" Itou says calmly to the boy. As he walked towards the restaurant, Itou started chatting "So, have you been here for a long time?" he asks him.

"I haven't been here too long." Ren began answering Itou's question. He figured he should at least act nice since Itou was doing him such a big favor. "It's been a while since i left the Earth kingdom though. I haven't done much since then, but a i said i've been looking for some work. So hows the food at this place?" Ren asked changing the subject as the feeling of hunger set in.

Itou stops outside a rather crowded restaurant before answering his question "I have no clue, to be honest" He said, before letting out a hearty chuckle "All I know is that they need an employee here, and that I did the owner a couple of favours a few years back." Itou finishes, before stepping inside the restaurant, the owner of the restaurant noticing him rather swiftly "Itou! Old buddy! How are you?" the owner says as he approaches Itou with open arms, placing them on his shoulder "My, You look older than I thought you would" The owner said jokingly. Itou lets out a chuckle as the guy said that "The years haven't been kind to me, my friend" Itou replies, before moving on to a different subject "Is it perhaps possible to get a table for two?" Itou asks, causing the owner to notice Ren "Oh who is this?" The owner asks "Itou, don't tell me that's your son" the owner says jokingly, before Itou swiftly replies "Oh, not at all, He is simply a young boy I've gotten to know over the past months" The owner soon shows them to their table. Itou shortly afterwards takes his seat.

Ren sat down quietly and looked at Itou. "Umm... Do you mind ordering for me? I'm so hungry that it's getting a little hard for me to read the menu." He said a little dizzy holding his head. He was starting to doze off and everything was slowly becoming very blury. "Please hurry." Ren said quietly, almost as a whisper.

Itou raises his hand while looking at the boy with great concern "We'd like to order" Itou calmly said "We will take number 5, the vegetable soup, and is it possible to get a little bit of bread while we wait for the food?" Itou asked. The bread would atleast allow the boy to get some food into his stomach, considering the fact that the meal could take some time before it got here. Itou glances towards the boy, very concerned for his well-being "Are you okay there?" He asks in a calm and comforting way.
