A dirty blonde young man in second-hand clothing and worn shoes exited a small convenience store and entered into the night ambience of the city. In one hand he carried a tall styrofoam cup with a plastic lid and a straw, sipping at the thirst buster which had been mercifully cheap. In his other hand, he held a plastic bag of meager purchased goods and maneuvered the bag open to examine them. Though it wasn't much - a barbecue sandwich discounted for being a day old and a bag of plain chips - the lack of nourishment he'd had since morning made the thought of the food cause his mouth to water.

For breakfast he'd been treated to a few stale donuts by someone who had obliged him for keeping them company the previous evening. As much as he liked sweets, Leiko enjoyed the treats, but had soon longed for something more savory. Lunch hadn't been an option because he'd had no money to speak of. However, he'd managed to make a little bit in the afternoon when he'd practiced some breakdancing with a few people he befriended on a street corner. The lot of them had gathered something of a crowd and appreciative onlookers had thrown a decent amount of coins; even some bills.

As usual, whenever he had money, Leiko couldn't help splurging. He'd spent every last dollar and cent he'd earned on the sandwich, chips, and thirst buster. He figured it was worth it, though, and didn't regret it in the least as he went to go sit in a familiar alley. Seating himself on a wooden crate, he unwrapped his sandwich. It was still hot from the heat lamp it had been warmed under and savored he savored that heat before tempering it with a cold sip of his drink. Ahh...heaven.
