Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-31401828-20170307145919/@comment-31539827-20170317174808

Nobody who knows me can tell I am your stereotypical "goody two shoes". Far from it, I always barrelled through life straight to my objectives and if you happened to be in the way.. well, tough luck. But in this cesspit, either you're like me or you sink to the bottom; especially now that everything has gone legs up like a succubi in a brothel. And yet even someone like me has - in rare occasions - a bout of altruism. Maybe what I saw in them was the same frightened child I was before Master Lin took me off the street and raised me as his own. So I did what I always do: act without a clear plan in mind.

"You two should get off the streets NOW before you get stabbed. Stop attracting attention like that. It's a newbie move." I grunted, hoisting the elder sister on my shoulder. "Move, kid. We're going to resettle sis in my home. OI, LILAH!"

The moment I shouted, the rather huge shadow of my minotaur wife blotted out the pallid sun as she snorted at the terrified girls. Lilah and I have been married last year. She carries a cleaver as big as me and a small naval cannon. And while she's jealous as any mamono, she has enough streer smarts to not misjudge her husband's intentions. Plus she knows beanpoles aren't my type.

"Getting soft, are we, hubs?" She quips with a sneer. "Next time you'll be asking for a pet rabbit..."

"Shut up. Let's bring those two to Doc and I'll give you something hard...." I grin back. The people let us pass without as much as a syllable and in ten minutes flat we're at the backalley doctor. Medicine for her lungs doesn't even cost much - and good old Doc gladly forfeits the bill in echange for a month of free protection. Obviously they ended up recuperating at our home, damn my misplaced sense of responsibility.

To be honest, the girls were a tad disappointed I was off the market - but I quickly introduced them to my cousin, Enzo: mostly to reassure Lilah. Having two potential rivals in the vicinity was turning her restless. You don't want to be near her when she's restless.

Anyway, gotta go. I have my cousin's wedding to attend.
