"That's true. But that's why I said we should make a plan." Adders shuffled into a more comfortable position. "First up, how can we get to England with out using my father's planes."

"Well, if we can gather enough money to buy plane tickets, we can do that. Then we can get with money for the return tickets from the family safe when we get there. Or, we can stowaway on a plane or a ship."

"How much money do you think we'll need? And where do we get money? I've never had a job before." He grabbed a notebook and pencil out of his bag to write notes.

"Well… it was a few hundred just for me…" Lin replied sheepishly. "So it'll be more than a thousand American dollars for both of us to get back."

"Oh, that's a lot." Adders said putting the pencil down. "That would take a while, like, a long while."

"Right. So it might be easier to try and stowaway." Lin sighed softly and leaned back against the wall of the tree fort. "Or we can try and earn as much money as possible."

Adders rubbed his eyes, "Seems like we have a lot of work ahead of us. What would we do to get money? There aren't many jobs two runaway kids can get."

Lin shrugged a bit. "We could steal it, but I'd rather not commit any crimes. I don't have any possessions, so I can't sell anything. I suppose getting a job would be the only way, but I don't believe I'm legally allowed to since I'm only thirteen."

"I can only think of illegal things, dammit." Adders said, lying down on his stomach. "This is harder than I thought."

"Yeah… I mean, we might have to do a couple illegal things if we want this to happen any time soon…" Lin sighed softly.

(omg I am so so sorry)

Adders hit the floor with his palm. "I refuse to be beaten by the first obstacle! We've got to figure this out." He glanced at Lin, "Have any talents?"

(Np lol)
"Talents? Um…" Lin looked down at himself thoughtfully. "I'm fairly physically skilled, I have good pain tolerance, and I can use fire and electric magic with proficiency. Aside from that, I'm not b sure I have anything that would help me get a job."

"I can play the drums." Adders said, staring into space. "It's one of the only things I'm good at. Also metal magic, of course, but I wouldn't say I'm good at it. And I have pretty okay technological knowledge."

Lin nodded a bit. "Well, I dunno… maybe somebody would be willing to hire us even though we're underage." He shrugged. "We could just do odd jobs here and there for a while."
