With his iPod and ear buds plugged in, he was good to go. The boy shut the doors to his dorm before making his way off the academy. He high five some of the guys he knew when he passed the hallway. Well that was not saying much since everybody practically knew Cash Hunter. Though the same thing could not be said the other way around. Cash could not help that people knew of him. But that did not mean he had to know people just as well. So the casual heys were fine as long as they did not start talking to him as if he should know them on another level.

The young man was out on his evening jog as usual. Running was his passion -- even before he manifested. He loved using his speed but at the same time, he loved the the way his body sweated and the strain he could put on his legs before needing to take a break. Cash had jogged from the school to the Town Hall where he stopped to buy a bottle of water. As he was replenishing himself, a familiar face caught his eye.

His ear buds were still plugged in and the volume was on max so what he said next sounded like he was shouting. "Luc?"

Sewage leak... Nasty

Earlier that morning Luc had been sleep in his car on the sidewalk of the strip mall when a loud banging on his window bought him back to reality. He was clearly not ready to be awake as he sheild his eyes from the blinding sun. 

Even after seeing him wake she continued to tap viciously until he finally managed to roll the window down. "Is there something you need mam?" He asked the lady in the suit. She looked very professional and he couldn't think of why she would be standing there. Probably to ask him to move his car. "Um, yes. There is a sewage leakage where i work - town hall." She paused and gestured to the sign in his car window that read: "work needed". It took awhile to let the information set in. "Oh yeah that." He scratched his head and was about to continued when she cut him off. "There will be good pay for a job well done." She encourage strongly. 

Good pay was music to his ears and it was all the convincing he needed. "Yeah, I'm pretty handy. I'm sure I could get it done." 

Anyways, it wasn't as bad as they thought but Luc needed the money so he played it up as if a roaring river of shit and piss would'e flooded the building if it wasn't for him. He didn't feel too bad about it, he really really needed the cash. aha see what i did there. After the work was done, Arthur shoved the wad of cash into his back pocket and sat down on the step of the town hall building just to take a break from all the physical labor. 

When Cash Hunter came along, still the little speedy freshmen to Luc, he gave him a nod hello. "What's up buddy? Getting your daily fix of mutant exertion?" He asked as the boy was obviously on a run.

When the other boy acknowledged him, Cash took the earbuds out of his ears to hear the question better without the distraction of the music. With only three years of difference between the two boys, when Cash enrolled in Bellefonte the other boy was already a famous boxer in the school. It was a hard fact to ignore since he was active in sports too and quite a number of people he mingled with talked about Luc's recent boxing matches.

"You know it," he replied as he paused the music on his iPod and tucked it all in the pocket. With the bottle of water in hand, he strode over to the other boy and sat down beside him on the steps of the building. "It's always good to be in tip top shape. For health," he added the last one as an afterthought. "But the ladies are a pleasant bonus." The boy winked and gave a chuckle. Of course Cash had not ran to be in the pink of health or for the swoons of the ladies, but because for the simple fact that he liked loved running.

"What about you man? You look like you have been running longer than I have."

Luc laughed and shook his head. "Your still a little shit, I can see." Luc's words were light and playful. He always liked the kids spunk and too high level of self esteem. He always remembered the kid's cocky way of strutting himself through the halls of Bellefonte. A freshman, yes, but still thought he was kind of school.

"I just fixed a sewage pipe you ass. I'm just tired." He explained and snatched the water bottle from his hand. Twisting the cap off, Luc pure the remains of the water on his face and hands to get the grime and grease off. "Thanks." He ran his fingers through his hair to slick it back out of his eyes. "Some of us actually have to work to get money, bud." 

"The ladies..." Luc scoffed undress breath while skating his head in mock disbelief. "Don't be such a tool," He advise with a thumbs up. "Or I'll kick your ass before some else does."

The boy smiled and gave a shrug of the shoulders at Luc's first comment as if to say it could not be helped. Ah well. Cash had always been comfortable in his own skin. There was no reason not to. Plus, he was not one who was ignorant of his own looks -- so if you have it, flaunt it, right?

In a blink, the other boy had snatched the bottle from his hand and downed the remains on himself. Cash gave him an amused smirk. "Oh, your welcome," he replied sarcastically though in a playful tone. Luc continued further before the younger boy could ask him about his job.

Shaking his head, the dark haired boy chuckled and raised his hands up. "Hey, I know my limits," he said. Cash was not a jerk towards the ladies. Except for the time with Morrigan, the girl who did not fall for his charm. He -- probably -- acted like an ass towards her. Though he was just returning the same treatment she was giving him.

He brushed the subject away. "Anyway, what's the deal with you doing sewage pipes now? What happened to photography?"
