Nazeil was waaaarn ooouuut. He was just getting back from hunting this man down, and even if he was only 25, he felt more like 35. The man was a youngen, and he showed the just fine in speed. Lucky enough, he didn't have to waste any bullets, only energy. He made a good profit out of it too, so he was set for a while.
Nazeil was walking back through town, trying to decide if he wanted to get a drink or just wanted to go home and rest. He wasn't too sure. Drinking he could at least stay up a bit longer... By why would he want that, there wasn't really anything for him worth stay up for.
Maybe it was just wiser to get on home.

"Hey! HEY! Get back here!" shouted Tal as he raced on after a weasel. He had managed to snag it earlier, but it didn't stay in his grasp for too long. And now the little furry critter was running through the streets, trying to get away from its captor.
At some point, the weasel and darted behind a few crates to hide from the orange lycan. It was somewhat effective as Tal didn't really have a way to reach back there.
"Come on out! I'm not gonna hurt you!" he pleaded to the weasel before murmuring something along the lines of "Dunno if the guy who wants you is gonna feel the same..."

Naz couldn't help but notice the younger Lycan run, chasing after a small whittle weasel. He loved those things, they looked so funny and made the weirdest movements. He was amused on hours on end with his weasel when he was younger. Ahhh, those were the good ol' days Being youthful an spunky.
He decided he'd help little Tal up, it looked as if there was a reason after all to stay up a bit longer.
He casually walked into the nearest food store, buying a little cat toy, that could as easily amuse himself as it could a little friend, then he attached a piece of meat to it and walked back over to where Tal was trying to fetch the Weasel out. "Hey... Having fun there Tal?" he asked, waving the cat toy at him.

In order to try and fetch the weasel, Tal decided to try and shove the crates out of the way. Whatever was inside those crates though, it made it nearly impossible for the young lycan to make them budge in the slightest. Still, he kept up the attempts. Sooner or later the weasel would either come out or he'd manage to move the things out of the way.
He so busy trying to fetch his quarry that he didn't notice the older lycan approaching from behind.
"Oh! Hi Nazzy!" he responded out of surprise, immediately straightening up from his attempts to shove the big wooden boxes. His eyes soon trailed to the cat toy Nazeil held, causing him to tilt his head, "I didn't know that you have a cat?"

Naz watched Tal, finding it kinda funny that his scrawny little a** was trying to push over the big crates. Yeah, he could certainly tell that this guy was a pro.
" Did you even bother to read up on weasels before you decided to try and catch this one?" He asked, getting down on one knee before he dangling the toy in front of the whole that the ferret managed to slip into, " Besides failing on your new mission, how are you doing? And I don't have a cat. You owe me two pieces of gold, by the way." Naz told him, always making other people responsible for the things he buys if he feels it was to help someone else.
His tail waved back and forth as he anticipated when the weasel would try at the toy. He wasn't planning to strike at it, he knew with animals you had to take a calm approach, at least little ones. Bigger ones, you had to prove that you were just as hardy as they were. He hated bigger animals. Horses, dragons, giant lizard, they just weren't his thing.

At the question, Tal scratched his head and shifted somewhat. He really hadn't done that much research at all aside from where he might be able to catch one and what they ate.
"I.. uh.. sorta?" he replied with a nervous chuckle. His ears had lowered back against his head and his tail kept fairly still as he kept in mind how much money he now apparently owed. Though, as he watched Naz, his ears perked up a bit out of curiosity.
Slowly, the weasel peeked out, for just a moment. It ducked back in behind the crates nearly as quickly as it had poked its head out. However, after a few more moments, it bolted out to try and snatch the cat toy.

Naz smiled and let the weasel play with it a bit, before tickling it's sides. He loved how they squirmed and jumped around, it was the funniest thing ever. It was something he could see it coming out of a weird drunk experience or something.
He looked back up at Tal, grinning a little, " Don't worry about it, not that many people know about these things anyways." Naz replied, trying to cheer him up a bit. He didn't want to make him feel bad for not knowing, even if it was his job to catch the weirdest things. Why would anyone want a weasel anyways? For skinning? It wasn't worth having some boy fetch it for them. Maybe some kid really wanted a weasel.
" Are you getting good pay for this little guy?" Naz asked, still playing with the little thing. Weasel's, in his opinion, wouldn't usually bite hard. Oh, they bit though, all the time, it was more of a playful biting though. They looked so vicious with their mouth wide open though.

To his surprise, the weasel wasn't running off or anything like that. It was sticking around and playing with Naz, even though it was a wild creature. Tal had to keep this sort of thing in mind in case he had to catch another one in the future. Maybe he could even catch himself one! It did look fun to play with and all, though he wasn't sure if it was really a good idea for him to take care of a pet at the time.
The other lycan's words did seem to cheer him up some though. Pretty soon his tail was swishing back and forth as he watched the two with intrigue. The weasel was now more or less gnawing on Naz while squirming and moving about, staying in the open.
"Hm... not too bad. Seven gold pieces the Weran family offered for one," he replied with a nod, "Oh! I was so busy with the little guy that I forgot to ask, but how you been Nazzy! Haven't really seen you around in awhile."

Naz played the ferret a bit more before scooping him up in his arms, he twitched his finger a bit in front of the ferret so it could continue biting him and playing with him while he was held. He loved the flailing, for Tal needed him time around. Next time he ran into a flailing ferret though he'd take it home and let it run the house.
" Oh, the Weran family, they're pretty decent people." He paused, thinking back to that exhausting mission he had, a groan leaving his lips. " I had to go catch some kid, he was seducing woman and stealing there jewelry. Kinda annoying, actually, because he was damn fast and full of energy."
Naz paused again, staring at Tal, "Kinda like you but I don't have to chase your little tuckus' around town." Naz told him, then looked back down at the ferret. " Want me to walk him to the Waren's with you, or do you got it?" Naz asked, almost afraid Tal would take him half way, then drop him again.

A jewel thief? Naz certainly had some exciting duties to take care of it seemed. It certainly was more thrilling than catching a weasel, but he was certain he'd be trapping bigger game sooner or later.
At the offer, Tal thought about it for a moment or so while looking at the long furry animal. Having watched the other lycan handle the weasel, he had an idea of how he should keep it in his grasp.
"Nah I think I got it now. Thanks for the offer though!" he beamed, "You uh... can come along anyway if you'd like though."
That last part was a sort of 'just in case' for Tal. With his tail wagging lightly, he reached out to take the weasel off of Naz's hands.

Naz smiled a bit, happy that he could come along. He probably should, to make sure Tal kept in check.
He put the weasel RIGHT into Tal's arms, there was no way he could to give that obnoxious creature slide out from in between them so that it could running to whole. Unfortunately, if that happened again, the weasel might think it's a game to trying to get him to come out, and then they would be there all day.
After putting him in the others arms, he finally told Tal his decision, " I'll come with you, I have nothing better to do then to get wasted. Which I might do later. What about you? What'd your plans after you give the ferret to that one guy?" Naz asked, his tail was wagging a bit as he asked.
It was nice to see Tal perk up, he was really easy to please. Even for an old man like him. It was rather funny actually.

Tal carefully but firmly held onto the weasel, not wanting to lose it again. At first he thought he was gonna drop it, but it wasn't the case. He wiggled one of his fingers to help keep it occupied, as Naz did earlier. It felt kind of funny to have it gnaw on him, but it didn't really hurt at least.
Once he was certain he had a good hold on the critter, the orange one glanced over at Nazeil and smiled.
"Sweet! And... hm.. Not sure yet. I'll probably figure it out by the time this is done though," he replied with a wide grin while starting to head towards the Weran household. He paused momentarily to make sure that Naz was coming along as well.
"What about you? You seem kinda tired."

Naz walked after him, following him at the same pace Tal walked. " Ehhh, like I said, that guy could run fast. REALLY fast. Plus after I caught the little crook, I had to walk all the way back to town, so I'm beat." Naz told the other as his tail side by side.
He finally was able to walk right beside Tail, and he watched him play with the weasel a bit to keep him occupied, "So why did you choose this as a job anyways? What maybe you wake up one day and say, 'I'm going to be a big time animal hunter'?" Naz asked.
It really did sound odd to him, he looked nothing like an animal person, and clearly didn't have that much experience with them.

"That sounds kinda tough... are you a sort of bounty hunter by the way? Because that's really cool!"
At Nazeil's own question, Tal paused and thought about it. The idea did spring up fairly suddenly for him, and he wasn't entirely certain if he would stick with this. His tail gave a twitch as he thought out his answer, hesitating to speak up again.
"Yeah about that... Well I used to do odd jobs and stuff. I'm.. not really good at much really so I take what I can," he began with his ears slowly drooping at the thought, "I got one job to catch some rabbits and uh... well I managed to catch a big snake instead. But I figured, hey! If I can catch a big snake maybe this is something I'm good at! So.. I stuck with that."
The young lycan gave a shrug and patted the weasel on the head, "But.. I'm not even really good at trapping."

" Yup, I've stuck with job all my life. " Naz gloated, though it was nothing to really be proud for, at least in some peoples opinions. He didn't really give a s**t, he was just telling the truth at this point.
He listened to the kids story and mentally face/palmed. How could he think of himself a right for the job if he never even caught what he was meant to caught?! Of course... He wasn't really in a 'put downy' mood, so instead he just nodded, "Oh... I see. You know when I first started bounty hunting I was really terrible too? People laughed at me all the time.." He paused, sighing happily as he thought back.
" I was really pitiful, I only took jobs for petty crimes anyway, and even then I messed up. I couldn't hold my gun properly either." He told the kid, his ears were perked up, like he was actually happy talking about it. "I was exactly your age actually. Your 19, if I recall correctly?"
