Angus was at the market looking for something to eat. Something cheap. His father still refused to send him money and so he had spent the last change he had on a good bottle of liquor, and now he had exactly one penny left to find himself something to eat.

Well shite.

He looked around and his tired eyes landed on a gracious form he knew all too well. He groaned quietly. Oh double the shite. He had thought the town was large enough to not run into her. He hadn't even been so sure that she had run back home. It wasn't like her shitty parents would be likely to take her back. Well, apparently they had.

Eww.. was that gurgling hairless koala... his?

He turned and walked away quickly. Too quickly. His foot hit a basket of apples. There was a loud, "OI!". Apples rolled across the square.
