"Not really...that only happened when I first learned that trick...dont worry I wont make this shack cave in, I promise" he said, following her in. It seemed that the two were getting along quite well, at least the weak little sister was able to make friends.

Carmen spotted the two being friendly, and unlike her sister, she wasn't completely oblivious. She gave Negi a sideways look. One thought kept running through her mind. If he touches her I'll cut off his penis She thought, polishing her knives while she watched the pot of rice cook. Carmen was a little protective of her younger sister thanks to the whole disease thing, and he last thing she needed was this ass hole thinking she was just there to shove something into. She sighed, waiting for the sane one of the two to return.
Cacidee washed off the vegetables and sat down at the table with a knife, handing another one to Negi. "Be careful when you're peeling off the skin," She said. The knives were the exact same as the ones Carmen had used. double edged, with the tip curving inwards. Cacidee used that curve like a peeler to get the skin off the vegetables.

Negi just sweat dropped, holding the knife "Here, I'll make thigns quicker, and easier." He said. The vegetables and knives lifting out of her hands, off the table, just floating in the air. The two knives then touched a vebetable. And then it all became a blurry, windy mess. Before it quickly came to a hault, and carrot and zucchini peels fell down onto the table, and then the very nicely skinned vegetables followed, though they gently fell fell down. "There, all done" he said
"You seem more irritated than usual." Akio said, standing behind Carmen. He was looking at Cacidee and Negi "Don't worry, after six days of nothing he'll lose intrest."

Cacidee blinked, not catching a bit of the whirl of food. "Wow," She said, looking at the vegetables. "That was quick," She said, and then cut them up, and put them in another pot of water. "Could you take this outside and put it on the fire?" She asked.
"Good, because cacidee's a traditionalist. He wont get anything unless he's willing to marry her," She said, moving the pot off the fire. "I forgot to warn you, you have to be careful around here. After the empires take over none of the tribes trust each other anymore, so there's a lot of waring going on. If you noticed, everyone but my sister and I are old, " She said, the Junch tribe people all had similar characteristics to Carmen. Red hair and tanned skin, but they were all older couples as well. "We're easy targets, so you got to watch out for the others," She said.

"No need" He said, putting his hand on the bottom of the pot, lifting it up, and a bright red fire erupted from his hand, and the water started boiling all of a sudden. The fire turned to a normal one "Just tell me when its ready" He said.
"...no offense, but we're not really in any danger" He said "I've got a weapon, and Negi's annoying, but his magic is the strongest I've ever seen, we'll be able to defend ourselves from a simple tribe attack."

"Oh well, I guess that works," Carmen said with a small laugh. "That should just take a few minutes," She said with a small laugh, reaching up to try and grab the dishes off the shelf that was just a little too tall for her, as most things were.
"Hey, just thought I'd warn you, I never said you couldn't handle yourself," She said, holding her hands up in defense.

And again, the dishes just floated down to her. "Jeez you're tiny" Negi said
"And I never said I'd shoot you in the face, why are you acting like I have a gun pointed at you?" Akio asked, it wasnt that he was mean or agressive, it was just his somewhat touchy way of speaking.

"Heh, yes, I guess I am," She said, looking up at him. "The vegetables should be done," She said, putting the dishes on the table and going outside to get her sister.
"It's just a mannerism...you don't hang around people much do you?" She asked. "Lunch is ready," Cacidee said. Carmen nodded. "Alright," She said, grabbing the pot of rice and taking it back inside. When she set it down at the table she looked over to Cacidee. "Hey I left some stuff in the caves, I'm going to run down there and get it, I'll be back in a little," She said.

"Alright" Negi said, the fire going out, the water slowly cooling. He cooled the water and the pot to a point where itwouldnt burt if you touched it, and set it down on the table.
Akio looked at Carmen "Cave?" he asked, interested.

"Just some caves near the ravine, there's some plants there that help with Cacidee's cough," Carmen said. "It was an old healers shrine," Cacidee said. "Yeah lots of shit and junk laying around, but stuff I need too," Carmen said. "Why? You want to come with me?" She asked.

Akio shook his head "No, I have no intrest in herbs. But if you find something valuable, like a ruin or a gemstone, I can help you sell it so you'll have money for that medicine to last a month." he said

"Healers were 'enlightened' spirits. Believe me I've looked there is nothing worth selling," She said, starting out the door. "And Cacidee do-" "You don't need to go there," Cacidee said sweat dropping.

"I'm going I'm going," she said, heading out the door. "You don't want to know," Cacidee said, serving out the boiled vegetables and rice and handing it out to the two guests. About an hour later her sister came back with a tablet tucked under her arm. She walked in, seeing Cacidee resting on their bed. "Cacidee, you awake?" She asked. Cacidee yawned and sat up. "Hmm, what's that?" She asked, looking at the tablet. "I dunno. I found it in the ruins, I thought it was kinda cool, too bad it's written in Catlian," She said.

"Ahhh...Jeeze what the fuck...ow..." Negi grumbeled, comming into the shack "Did you really have to throw me like that?...Im not a beanbag ya know" he whined. "You told me to not hold back." Akio said "Argh...nevermind." He grunted, sitting down. Akio noticed what Carmen was holding "So you actualy found something?"
