"Now pluck that string there." Coon happily instructed Apples, the two where teaching each other a few songs over the guitar and bass. Apples was aiming to play better, while Coon just wanted something to take up his time. Pretty soon the two got into a rhythm and played for a while before getting tired. Apples got up before the raccoon to avoid his smoking. Coon looked over at him and slightly chuckled.

"Doesn't Naro smoke? Well I guess you'd be smart to get away, you're trying, more than what I did."

"Yeah, shoot with Naro I might as well already have black lungs."

"Ha, Mimic, Naro and I should try to stop, though I'm not so sure of breaking the old man of his habits." He thought out loud. Apples gave a soft smile as he walked off.

Coon soon joined the kid outside, he was just sitting out on a bench lost in thought it seemed. Coon whistled to grab his attention. Once he snapped the two made there was back to Coon's house, Apples wasn't entirely comfy being at Coon's house but it was better than Naro's at the moment, he was on a full rage and he didn't want to get in his way. Coon sat down and tossed Apples a can of soda, Apples nearly missed it but nodded in thanks. The short silence was ended by Coon once more talking.

"Eh you know Apps, I got a new game room in back, pong?" He spoke out, trying to be appealing to the kid. They only had three years apart but the way the two were brought up made all the difference.

Apples sighed an "Okay then." And they got up to play. About half way through playing Naro came in the door with a snide. "Picked him over me huh Apps? Get your stuff and come on." Apples like a loyal dog grabbed his stuff and walked out the door. Coon walked out with his hands in his pockets and grinned at the neko. Naro only shook his head and turned away. Coon waved to Apples and he waved back, Naro lazily did as well as the two walked off home.
