"Git yer copy o' the Duely Noted , here!"

The exageratedly deep voice boomed across the street from the closed arena, it's weilder holding out his paper to the few passersby. Nearby, Aidan squirmed, as another angry duellist exited the arena's posting area with a bang of the door. Billy, dressed in jeans, a white t-shirt stuffed with grapefruits at the bicep and slicked back hair, knew better than to hold a paper out to those who exited the area, in fear of having his ears boxed, for no
other reason than his proximity and availability. Glancing at Aidan, he began to pack up his remaining papers with a sigh.

"C'mon, Aidan, them fine ladies an' gent's anger isna goin' tae spoil oor fun, this night. We may na ha' sold many papers, but wha' we lack in coin, we'll make up in candy!"

Aidan's eyes shone as he jumped up and down, his dragon's tail slapping the ground repeatedly. "Kin I eat all I want ta tanight, Billy? Really? Kin I?"

Billy nodded as they began to walk down the street toward home, his own eyes beginning to shine with the prospect.
