<img style="max-width:25%;float:right;margin:0 0 18px 18px;" src="http://i.imgur.com/kE6285D.png" style="avatar] A mop of black hair was shoved away from a scarred face, unsettling the large raven that had been picking though said hair. Dark eyes belonging to an otherwise unremarkable young woman were turned toward the call for volunteers, while the raven croaked his protest against his apparent master's movement. Though by the bird's behavior, he might have been scolding an unruly chick rather than a human. Not that the street rat found that important at the moment, raising an arm to show that she too was willing to join whatever endeavor was about to be set out.
The young woman was Kohaku Zuki, or at least that was the name her raven would caw at anyone who asked. The pair were inseparable, to the point that most assumed that the bird was unable to fly, and that the woman was unable to speak. Otherwise, Kohaku was easily forgotten, with no great or terrible reputation carved out for herself. She kept her head down, and had become somewhat of an expert at being overlooked, though she had run plenty of messages, goods, and other tradeables as long as there was a meal in it. She gave little of her past, and few bothered to ask anyways, for lack of patience in listening to a usually ill-tempered fowl.
Kohaku stood and cleaned up what remained of the bread and drippings from better foods, ready to leave, now that she was on her feet. The raven (simply called Bird, by those who bothered to address the animal), clicked loudly at the demand to 'hurry up' rasping at Nymeros with similar impatience,"Work for food. Food for work. No food, no work!" This earned rolled eyes from the bird's partner, and she felt the need to snap her fingers and point at her own eyes, prompting Bird to hold his silence until needed.
Antics done with, the young woman gave a "go on" hand wave, to indicate that she was in fact coming along. She figured that if they were just calling for volunteers, the job was either simple, or very dangerous. Either way, this meant that a reward would mean another meal, and another day of survival, and failure...well, it's not like she would worry for it too long if she failed.
