Two figures who walked out of the store, an armored dwarf and a full black clothed young man, carrying plastic bags full of things that they bought.
"Woah! The line is already that long?" As Nyx walked outside, he saw the line that was only about a dozen people earlier but now it should already have fifty or more.
"Let's go!" The dwarf captain, who didn't care about anything else besides his beloved treasure, that he was carefully holding like a newborn child, urged him to hurry up to the meeting place.

"SIR! Sir, he we are!"
Luis who was handing an old woman with a large can of powdered milk, heard someone calling him and new who it was.
It was group of four teens. The one who called him was Noah, about 13 years old with a dark-blond hair. Following him were three girls, Isabella, a 16 years old girl with similar features as Noah but a little older and taller. Next is Grace, 15 years old, with black hair and a little darker skin tone. Lastly the youngest Eva, 12 years old, with pointy ears, light yellowish hair and eyebrows and a chalk-like skin. Yes she is an elf, also an albino elf.
"I thought you all won't come today?" He asked as he handed the things that the old lady wanted to buy to Sarah, who was verge to beat him as she was currently handling another customer.
"We thought that you wont open your store till tomorrow, but when we heard some drunk bald man who was talking loudly that the store was open, we hurriedly came here for work." said Isabella as she went inside the break room to prepare for her job.
The other three also followed and soon they started their assigned jobs, helping the customers with the things that they want to buy, cleaning and wiping the tables, on the side of the store, that was once been occupied and helping Luis carry the things out of the warehouse.
It is not that Luis wants to popularize child labor but when he was looking for someone to be a store helper the four of them begged him to employ them.
They were orphans and orphans who traveled from a far and ended on this port town three months ago. With no proper food and shelter since they came here. Day and night, the four of them were looking for work but to no avail. With their beggar-like appearance and young age, no establishment wants to employ them until they met the shop owner.
After they were employed by Luis, he handed them some money for them to rent and handed them some new clothes and food. For almost three months worth of work with full attendance, except when the store was close or when it is the two day rest every week. They are now living normally with salary for food and temporary shelter. They are currently saving money to buy their own house weather how long it would take.
A place that they could call their own home were the highest priority for the four of them since they have experienced a life with no roof when they slept.
