3rd Person's POv

"Damn its cold outside. " The man said as he walk near the fire and extend his hand to warm off.

"Good thing we had something warm ourselves." The man said, the monkey make a sound like he agreed.

"How did you have a pet dragon?" Granger said as he sat down near the fire and pat the Dragon's head who seems to be fund of him.

"Ah~ It was a year ago. It was when Dexter and I was travelling out in the woods, not in this one but from other country. We were hungry and we decided to hunt for food, and we found this Giant Egg. We think that it would be a good meal. But as soon as we try to cook it, it hatch and Natsu is born." The man said.

"Natsu?" Granger said.

"Yeah, Thats what I name him. Since he breath Fire." The man said.

"I see, afterall he was the one who made this camp fire infront of us." Granger said.

"Yup." The man said with a smile.

"By the way, whats your name? " The man asked.

"I'm Granger, A demon hunter." Granger said.

"I see, my name is Claude and you already know what I do." Claude said.

"Yeah, why do you steal anyway?" Granger asked.

"Well its fun. Don't worry, once I knew that the one I steal is something important to a person, I return it immediately. " Claude explained.

"But everything you stole has a value, I saw your bag earlier." Granger said.

"Yup, they have Value. But not to the person I stole from. See, I don't steal something when I know its worth to the owner. Example, That Guitar Case of yours. Many would like to have such a magic weapon like that and I could just steal it from you and sell it. But that Guitar case is important to you, than just a weapon for you right? Its worth far from it, am I wrong?" Claude explained.

"Your not Wrong. That Guitar Case is more just a weapon. Its was given by my instructor from school. He thought me all the skills that I needed to learn to be a Demon Hunter. I'm still learning even now but I'm confident to hunt Demons." Granger said with a determinantion.

"I see. " Claude said.

"So the ones you stole are those something Valuable, but its also doesn't have any sentimental Value to the owners." Granger said.

"Correct. " Claude said as he walk towards his bag.

"Example this Jewel." Claude said as he got a piece of Jewel inside. "I stole it because the owner had many of this. He cares for this Jewel because it had a high Value, but if this Jewel doesn't have any value, it will be ignore and just be normal rock laying on the ground." Claude said.

"You won't steal that either. " Granger said.

"Your Correct about that." Claude said.

"Where are you going after the rain?" Granger said.

"Well, we will move to the next village. I move from one places to another since staying in one town would cause me trouble and I'll get easily caught. " Claude said.

"Then you should move early in the morning, I heard that the villager from this town will hunt that monkey down and kill it." Granger said and pointed Dexter who was sleeping beside Claude.

"Your gonna let me Go?" Claude asked.

"I don't hunt for thieves, I hunt for Demons. Beside, it will be like a 'thanks' for saving my life earlier." Granger said.
