As Thomas and Jules arrived back up to the surface Jules stared at Thomas and asked "How many of these items do you think I'd be able to buy?" Thomas glanced at him and thought for a minute before saying "You could probably buy a lot more then a dozen of them." Jules stared at Thomas with a smile and said "In that case I'll be going back tomorrow to buy whatever she has that can make me stronger." Jules continued to stare at him and said "That reminds me, are those clothes actually twenty five tons each?" Thomas moved one of his arms in a circle and said "They feel heavier then my other clothes, so I think they are." Jules thought for a moment and asked "How do you know if she ripped you off or not?"
Thomas glanced at Jules and said "I don't think she'd rip me off on such a common item." Jules held the item he bought in his hand and said "Wait so I could've been ripped off to?" Thomas smiled and said "Only one way to find out." Thomas and Jules both held the items that they had gotten from the lady as Jules asked "Should we just eat them now?" Jules put his in his pocket and said "Yeah we probably shouldn't eat these without using them on a proper meal." As Jules said this Thomas are the shell and said "Kinda crunchy." Jules stared at him in disbelief and asked "Did you seriously just eat that, what if it was poisonous?" Thomas shrugged and said "It didn't taste poisonous, it was kinda dry though."
Jules stared at him and asked "Even if it was poisonous would you even notice?" Thomas glanced at him and said "Honestly no, I don't think I would." Jules flinched and said "Then you might actually be poisoned?" Thomas shrugged and then smiled as he said "Dunno, but it's not like it matters now, I already ate it." Jules stood there for a moment and said "Well I can't argue with you there." Jules stared at him and asked "So what are you gonna do?" Thomas thought for a moment and said "Probably sleep under that tree just outside of town." Jules glared at him and shouted "If it's poisonous, what are you gonna do if it's poisonous, not if your gonna take a nap under your favorite tree!"
Thomas glanced up at the sky and said "Probably die." Jules flinched and said "Don't say that so calmly, say it like your afraid of death at least." Thomas glanced at Jules with a smile and said "If death wants to come for me I'll beat the shit out of it." Jules sighed and said "Knowing you, you probably would." Thomas began to walk off and said "Your damn right I would, I welcome death to try and kill me." Jules glanced at him and said "You better watch what you say or your gonna jinx it." As a rock hit him in the stomach he coughed up some blood and mumbled "Your right, I shouldn't have jinxed it." As Thomas wiped the blood away a boy ran past him and another rock flew towards Thomas's head.
Thomas caught the rock just before it could hit him and said "That probably would've killed me." As a man ran past them Jules grabbed the man by the shirt and asked "Why the hell are you throwing rocks like a mad man." The man glanced at Jules with a murderous glare and shouted "Let go of me, that kid is gonna pay!" Thomas glanced at Jules with some blood still leaking from his mouth as he said "I think the bleeding stopped." Jules glanced back at the man and said "You could've killed my guild master." The man swung at Jules and shouted "Get the hell off of me." Thomas pulled on Jules's shirt forcing him to lean backwards avoiding the man's hit and then saying "You could've lost your head there."
Jules glanced at Thomas and said "Thanks for that." The man glared at Thomas and said "I've seen you, you know that piece of shit hero." Thomas stepped out from behind Jules and said "You must mean Toby." The man glared at Thomas and said "Well Toby got my men arrested, I hope your ready to pay for his actions, plus you just let that kid get away after pickpocketing me." The man smiled and said "Beating the shit out of you will surely make this terrible day a lot better." Thomas shrugged and said "Just a heads up then, me and Toby operate under two separate moral compasses." The man took a step towards Thomas and shouted "Like I give a shit." As Thomas smiled the man's face went pale and he froze in place.
Thomas took a step towards the man and said "Don't just stand there, do something, or are you all talk and no bite." The man continued to stand there looking more and more terrified with every step he took. As a sword began to appear Thomas took one of his hands out of his pockets and grabbed it as he asked "Should I make this quick or painful?" Jules grabbed Thomas's shoulder and said "Maybe we shouldn't cause a scene in the middle of town." As the sword vanished Thomas smiled wider and said "Then maybe he's got something that'll change my mind." Thomas glared at him and said "Get to talking." The man quickly shouted "I stumbled upon an ancient power enhancing fruit, you can have it."
Thomas stood there for a moment and said "A giant snake gave me one of those before." Jules stared at him and asked "Does it work?" Thomas shrugged and said "No clue, I gave it to the others because I didn't want any power I didn't work my ass off for." The man was suddenly able to move again and then reached into his jacket with a smile and said "Now that I can move again I'll eat it and then kill you both." Thomas stared at the fruit and said "People talk too much." Thomas teleported in front of him and swiped the fruit and then teleported back beside Jules and asked "Do you think it's real?" Jules stared at him and said "Maybe he took his time in order to make you think it's real, it might be poisonous."
Thomas handed it to Jules and said "This one is yours to do what you want with, if it is poisonous then I won't expect to see you at the guild tomorrow." Jules flinched and said "Are you saying I'm gonna die?" The man slowly began to walk away and nervously said "I gave you the fruit, so I'm gonna go, we'll call it even alright?" Thomas shooed him away and said "Yeah yeah whatever, go away already." As the man left Jules said "Screw it, I'll eat the item that lady sold me and this right here." As Jules ate both items he stared at his hand and asked "Did it work?" Thomas shrugged and said "I dunno, I never ate one before."
Jules sighed and said "So they both could've been a scam." Thomas nodded and said "Yup, pretty much." Jules stared at him and said "You could at least try and say something positive." Thomas scratched his head and asked "How would that help at all?" Jules sighed and said "Forget it, let's go back to the guild." As they arrived at the guild Sarah and Gwen glanced at them and said "Guys get over here, we're having arm wrestling matches to decide who's gonna pay for the first round of drinks later." Jules sighed and said "Your obviously gonna beat me again so why bother?" Sarah smiled and put her arm on the table while saying "Yeah, no sit down and get ready."
As Jules sat down he sighed and said "Let's get this over with then." As soon as the match began to Jules forced her hand back against the table and said in a surprised tone "I actually won?" Jules smiled snuggly and said "Maybe I'm finally ready to even challenge Thomas." As Thomas sat down across from him and set his arm down on the table he smiled and said "Let's find out." Jules nervously grabbed his hand and said "I think I've already lost." Thomas smiled and said "Whenever your ready." As the match began Jules pushed with everything he had and said "Come on, budge at least a little." Thomas sat there unamused and said "Maybe we should just call it off?"
Jules shook his head and shouted "No way in hell I'll just accept a lose until the bitter end!" Thomas thought for a moment and smiled as he said "Well then in that case I won't hold anything back." Jules glanced at him in a panic but before he could say anything Thomas slammed his hand into the table breaking it into dozens of pieces and then saying "I won." Jules stood up while holding his hand and said "What the hell, were you trying to kill me?" Thomas stared at him and said "I still held back, just not completely." Jules flinched and said "You mean you could've killed me in arm wrestling match if you really wanted to?" Thomas glanced away and said "That's not really an important question." Jules stared at him and shouted "You could've killed me!"
