The Kingdom of Lyneel, a beautiful land with a bounty of farmland and plenty of rural space. A beautiful land, paradise to some and a place of hatred for others, it was neither for the rodent. Viriathus saw the kingdom simply as his place of residence, neither a place he hated, nor one he especially loved. Truth be told, he would have remained, but the place had become all too dull for his taste. He wanted to get out and explore the world, see new places, taste new foods, and find himself comfortably smooshed between the breasts of different women!
Ah, he couldn't wait for that, to be in a new land and searching for a new group of women to fawn over him. The rodent would have been off searching for a gaggle of girls right then if he weren't strained for time, the search for a ship to stow away on was needed and the only ones leaving for other seas that weren't cargo ships were leaving soon. He dashed through the crowds own the street, rushing towards the pier on all fours, darting between the legs of people, largely unnoticed due to his size. There was another problem, he needed to get aboard the ship without being noticed, perhaps he could sneak into someone's luggage. There was always the backup plan of hiding in a cargo box and leave the cargo hold sometime during the trip.
Alas, a more pressing issue came up than his escape from the island as the stomach of the poor beast began growl loudly. Curse his stomach and need of food, a detour was in order and the little guy knew just where to go to nab a little snack. He made a hard left and headed straight for the market place, he could grab some fruit or maybe a few small fish to snack on before hitching a ride. He needed to be sneaky here, this is where his size came in handy, nabbing food from the stalls. The little rodent-like creature moved through the feet of the crowd, careful not to trip up anyone and disturb the mood or call attention to himself.
There it was, the fish stall, and he inched closer on all fours, tail brought in close so no one would step on it. Viriathus reached the stall and reached into the box on the left, filled with ice and sardines. The stall owner was haggling with a woman over the price of some Tuna while the little guy grabbed a few of the fish, wrapping his tail around a few and sticking one in his mouth before fleeing the scene. 'If only I could cook, then I could make a real meal out of this, oh well, raw will have to do.' The thought ran through his mind as he scarfed down the first and sat under a bench to eat the rest.

It seemed Triton always ended up in the markets, no matter where he went. Not only because it was a good place to scope out targets, but who were we kidding, he was a big man and he loved to eat - heck, he had to if he wanted to maintain his physique! Unfortunately for Triton, being around port cities all the time usually meant there was an abundance of seafood, and he couldn't STAND it! He hated fish, shrimp, clams, you name it, he hated their taste and everything about them! He'd only ever get that desperate if his life depended on it! Unfortunately for him, this market reeked of fish, the overpowering odour of seafood covering up the good smells of all the other delicious food!
"How do people even EAT fish?"
He asked himself out loud as he walked through the market, lightly pushing his way through the crowds as he went. He had his mind set on something far more fantastic - and something he never got the chance to eat before leaving Loguetown. . . dessert! Triton was a fiend for lemon meringue pie, and as expected of his size he could eat a lot of it, so it was no surprise when he ordered an entire pie to himself, no slices, just a fork and a pie! He smiled in anticipation of his snack, looking for the nearest place to sit down so he could enjoy it immediately,
"It has been far too long my friend"
The large pirate literally talked to his pie as he sat down on a bench, his large anchor thudding to the ground next to him, completely unaware he'd nearly crushed a small creature underneath him. With quick stabs into the pastry he'd eat a few mouthfuls, all the while looking over the newly released wanted posters he'd come across - ones sporting the faces of himself and his Captain,
"News spreads fast. . ."
He commented quietly to himself, looking over the photos they decided to use to represent the two of them. They couldn't have pick a better one?

Fish were such a fine snack just before a long trip, and it would do until he could get some real food on a ship. But what was that heavenly aroma that wafted ever closer to his bench, the half eaten sardine in his mouth fell to the ground as he sniffed the air. One of his long ears twitched at the sound of a voice, it did not seem directed at anyone in particular like the rest of the crowd, yet it still called out to a friend. Could a human who had seen have come to try and tempt him into going to him to sell or something like that. It could almost be worth it to try some of that heavenly smelling thing, but was it even the speaker carrying it?
Soon after a pair of feet parked themselves in front of the bench as a man sat, heavy anchor thudding at his side and nearly crushing Vi. "SNRK LEH KROVAH!" An exclamation in a language of his own invention, it roughly translated to 'SON OF A BITCH!' Most people simply assumed that was the only way he could speak and they were very much mistaken, yet he did not like people knowing of his vocal capabilities. The ignorant jackass nearly killed the little animal and was probably stuffing his face without a worry right about now. Oh, it was on, and Viriathus was going to give this person a non-verbal piece of his mind.
The little creature lunged forward in an attempt to latch onto the back of the anchor bearer's leg with his nasty little teeth. He wanted to make the man bleed and feel the pain of teeth tearing into flesh.

There he was, enjoying his pie, looking over his wanted posters - basically having a nice time - when all of a sudden he would be ATTACKED, a sudden, strong sensation of pain shooting up his leg. Triton jumped up quickly, barely putting the pie down onto the bench before shouting curse words, the leg the rodent was biting into being quickly kicked forwards, hoping to send whatever tried to eat him flying. "What the hell?!" The wanted posters fell onto the floor. He had no idea what had just bit into the meat of his leg, but man did it ever hurt! And had it not gone flying in the kick of his leg, his right hand would quickly shoot downwards in an attempt to grab it, pulling it away from his leg by the tail, being sure to keep it away from him so he couldn't be attacked again. Blue eyes remained fixated on this weird little creature, Triton had no idea what it was, but he was a ferocious little guy! "What the heck are you?" He sized up the little animal, Triton's dumb curiosity quickly overcoming him, soon forgetting he'd been bitten at all - although the stinging in the back of his leg was a nice reminder.

It was not long after his teeth sank in that his victim reacted, and it was not a pleasant one at that. His foot jerked out quickly to try and shake the creature off, but the teeth had a death grip in his flesh, though he was loosened. The rodent was going to re-tighten the grip, but there was no chance, a hand reached down and tore him from the leg he was attached to. A small amount of flesh was stuck in his teeth and Vi did his best to spit it out to the side. Ah, there was speech from the bastard that almost crush him, though it didn't seem as angry as a bite like that usually warranted.
Well, humans were often curious people, if sometimes stupid, and this kind of thing did happen sometimes. Though the little blue creature would give a response, if an unexpected one. "Chinga ne twat raknah!" He was still angry about the almost crushing thing and planned a little bit of revenge, at least he hoped it would work. Teeth were bared as he let forth a growl, there was no avoiding it's effects at this range unless the man had a stronger fighting spirit than most did.
It was probably a bit much to hope that the grip on his tail would loosen long enough for him to slip free, at least a little, but his teeth snapped and his body lunged. Even Viriathus's little blue arms would be waving furiously while he tried to hit the man. "Aveng-itaka!" That last outburst was unintentional, and he had barely just managed to change the word to gibberish. All the rodent could do was hope this adversary was as dumb as he looked and wouldn't look into it.

Well whatever it was, it was a vicious little bugger. No sooner did it dig into his leg was it wanting more, thrashing around in what Triton assumed was attempts to attack him further, but what took him most by surprise was the fact that it seemed to TALK! Triton's eyes widened as the little monster growled what sounded like words in another language, the sound of its growling making the Pirate physically feel his grip weaken, but his size and superior strength were enough to ignore the effects of what would turn out to be a special technique, allowing him to keep the little guy at bay via his tail, his body held suspended in the air just above the wanted posters, preventing Triton from getting them back for the time being,
"Man, you're an angry little guy!"
Triton looked side to side, and then an idea came to him - animals liked food, right? To him, the simplest way of making an animal like you was to feed it, and when his eyes settled on the lemon meringue pie, he figured it was his best shot!
"You want some of this?"
The large Pirate picked up the pie in his free hand, slowly inching it towards the creatures face, making sure his hand was at the far end of the pastry and out of harms way,
"You better not bite me though!"

Bah, the bastard was stronger than most average people, well he kind of had to be to carry around that anchor. Still, it did not please the small creature to find that his growl was insufficient to free him from the grip. Angry? Of course he was friggin' angry, but big dumb ox had nearly crushed him with the anchor. What came next was a magical moment all of his own as the offer of peace was made.
A heavenly light struck the pie as it was lifted from the bench, trumpets rang out in an immaculate chorus. The jaw of Viriathus dropped and his tongue flopped out, drool flooding from his mouth. The delicious scent of a pie, he had smelled it many times before but never been given a chance to taste one. His arms flailed, trying to get at the pie faster as he shouted out in joy. "Sneki! Sneki! Sneki!" He wasn't even listening to the man anymore, just trying to get the pie as it inched ever closer.
As soon as that pie was within reach his arms would go around the tin and he would just attack it with all his hungry might.
