He was a trembling mess. Hanging around the older squids was weird, or, at least for him. Sure, he was high ranked, but.. he still couldn’t shake the thought of being around people so much more skilled and bigger than him. It was scary. Made him nervous.

Before long, he just sits at a bench, besides a rather cute, flamboyant boy, blinking as he silently sat there, his shyness exuberating as he did so.

Arowana Mall wasn't a bad place. Its stores were diverse, the spots to relax in it did the trick, and the mall looked great in general. Even the Squid Sisters said that they had signings in this location.

Zanburi figured that today was as good of a day to give the mall a look. However, they should have expected what was to come; after spending a few good minutes' worth of peace and quiet in solitude, the Inkling swore that they heard something. They stopped window shopping and froze.

It didn't take long for the sound of shots to reach their ears. Though it was distant, there wasn't a doubt about it: a turf war was starting.

"Oh no." Zanburi whipped their head around in the direction of the sound, their eyes wide. They took a few steps back, expecting something to appear at any second. Upon seeing the faintest hint of movement, the Inkling jolted and turned on their heel. They would have sprinted out of the area in no time... if they hadn't rammed into somebody. The only thing they were able to do before the two descended upon the concrete was yelp.
