"Thanks. To both of you." She smiled. "I guess I put a little too much of myself into that last attack."
She laughed hollowly. "Well, I guess we Shy Guys need to stick together. Even if it's only because we're bored."

He had to admit, the hammer was...heavy. "Yeah, so true. Yeah, we do. No one else will look out for us, which is why we're Shy Guys in the first place. Well, I can't speak for everyone, but it's why I am."
He shook his head. "Yeah, I'd imagine it was a powerful attack. I make mine quick but worth it. Though I don't really have to rely on my skills."

Ballari didn't really have anything to add in on the conversation. She wasn't a fighter; she couldn't afford to fight. If she lost a fight, that meant she went home injured. Jamie would see the injuries and ask questions, and there was no way that she could just lie to him - even if she already fibbed.
And there was no way she could let him grow up too quickly.
"We're all alone in this world, even with the Shy Guys having our back," she murmured, giving a shrug. She reached up, running her fingers through her hair, "You two are the first Shy's I've met other than my direct boss, and I've been in this game for about five years now." She gave them both a weak smile, "Though that's probably because I'm just a Pink."

She nodded. "Well, I don't really have any skills to rely on. I'm just a quick smash." She laughed with a grin.
She looked at the other Shy Guy, putting a hand gently on her shoulder. "Nothing wrong with being a Pink. You don't have to live with the fact that you just crushed someone's face in..." She smiled gently, trying to make the poor girl feel better. "Plus, you get to have more fun than some of us." She winked, though it seemed that this Shy Guy had something going on besides just...well, doing it for the enjoyment or for something to do. For Damia it was a job. Probably not the best job she could have gotten, but it paid the bills and let her go out adventuring.

"Yeah. All Shy Guys are equal," Ty added. "Well, the black ones are above us. And the white ones are above them, but you see my point. Yeah. Or the fact that the little block means everything to the person you're about to sell it to. Or the bottle of megavitamins, whichever."
He shook his head. "It's hard, but that's life. We all have our own problems to deal with. I just do this to stay alive. Though, and I didn't say this: I do sometimes take a hit of my own merchandise. Only rarely. I'm only in this business to take care of me and my pets."

Ballai couldn't help but wince at the latter part of the Red's comment. She could feel the bruises on her wrists throbbing, reminding her of the apointment she had just left. "It's not all fun and games." She murmured. In fact, to her it wasn't even fun. It was a job; nothing more.
However, she realized her thoughts were quickly bringing down the conversation, and did her best to put on a smile. It was the same smile she put on whenever Jamie was around; warm, comforting. Appealing.
"But it pays the bills, so who am I to complain? So long as we're surviving in this world, we're doing better than most."

Damia nodded. "Very true. But at the same time...sometimes surviving isn't what it's all about." She licked her lips, the mask shifting a little. She felt like the conversation had taken a bit of an awkward turn, so she tried to think of a different conversation topic.
"So...how...How long have you been a Shy Guy?"

Ty shifted his weight, the subject matter getting kind of uncomfortable for him. "Well, about a year or two, honestly. Spend a few months as an independent dealer, but that didn't last too long."
He adjusted his mask, eyes going from the red Shy Guy to the pink one. This was...different. But still rather interesting.
