Aren's life doesn't sound much different than the one Taako's reliving right now; at 12 years old, he's a skinny welp of an elf, ears too big for his head and clothes too big and tattered for his body. But he's used to this, the scramble for resources and playing the streets- the problem is that all his cons are tag teams, and he's woefully down his second half. He has to survive until she gets back from wherever she's gone, though, and that means getting off his ass and hunting for food.

At this point, he's found his way into the shops and has pilfered a box of crackers from somewhere, tucking himself in a corner with them while he attempts to eat about three at a time. He's not guarding them incredibly well, though, and there'd be plenty of opportunity should he not notice someone coming.
