tab"Almost ..... Almost ..... A little more to the right ..... A little more ..... aaaaaand PERFECT!"
tab Chosuke wiped a bit of sweat from his brow as he stepped to gaze upon the fruits of his efforts. There is was, his very own food cart. All the money that he'd saved up from his various missions over the years had finally reached the point where he could begin his own business. Sure, it wasn't much, just a humble food cart set up on the side of the busy streets of Konoha but it still meant the world to him. This would be his first real step into the culinary world and as far as he was concerned, this was only the beginning. With enough hard work and dedication, there was no limit to how far he could go. The sky was the limit. "Alright! Now all I've gotta do is wait for the hungry customers roll in and then we can really get cooking!" he exclaimed with glee. He then eagerly took his place behind the counter, donning his official apron and chef's hat, both proudly adorned with his clan's emblem. "Oh yeah! Let's go! Any minute now ...... Any minute now ........... Any minute now ............... Any minute now ....................."

tab Arriving at his rustic food cart, Chosuke quickly got to work setting up the kitchen (getting the stove going, washing his hands, sharpening his knives, etc.). As he did so, he would talk to those who had come with him from over his shoulder. "So what's everyone hungry for? The cart's fully stocked so I should be able to make just about anything you'd want." he asked. He then remembered that Inohachi had managed to recover the herbs that he'd been searching for at the falls before they were attacked. "Oh yeah. Can I get those herbs from you, Inohachi? I need them for that new recipe I wanted to try." he added as he continued to work. This prep work was practically second nature to him at this point so he was confident he'd be ready to get cooking once they'd all given their orders.

[ Since we're not upping the age yet, whoops sorry, went back to the old format for now :3 ]
Eyes widen at the suggestion of them going back to the cart. Right now. "W-what?" She whispered almost inaudible. Not wanting to let her friends down, again, she nodded timidly and sucked it up. Each step she did, she was careful to look normal as possible but not to turn or strain herself more than she needed to. At least Chosuke seemed happy as he started to sharpen the knives, cleaning and asked what they were hungry for. Just the thought of food, Inohachi wasn't sure if it was a good idea for her to eat but she so desperately not want to let him down. "A-ah?" When the Akimichi had said her name and requested the herbs. She nodded as she handed him the herbs. "Um.. I'll try that new recipe then." At least, here, she can rest and slowly heal herself. She sat down on the far left of the cart with the three stools on her right. Her hand looks like it's resting on her stomach as she leaned forward and propped her other arm up with her head resting on her hand while the one on her stomach was slyly and slowly healing her internal damages.
The group arrived to the snack wagon and took their seats next to inohachi while Chosuke started to get to work. He asked the group what everyone wanted to eat and then remembered to ask Inohachi for the herbs they collected for his new recipe. Inohachi of course, gave him the herbs and asked for the new recipie."Uhhh I guess, I'll do the same." After all that happened today Shikarie wasn't really all that hungry. However, she didn't want to be rude because she knew how excited Chosuke was about this new recipe he wanted to try. Looking over and Inohachi Shikarie could see that she was hunched over the counter while resting her head with one hand. Was she hiding something or was she just THAT hungry?"Hachi? Are you......alright?" If Inohachi was hurt as well Shikarie wasn't sure how she could handle it. She had always thought if it came down to it, should could protect her team. But after today she has learned she has a long way to go. Perhaps her talents were better suited somewhere else. If she were to be the reason those close to her got hurt Shikarie won't know how to handle it.
Prowling the streets at the end of a long day a young woman wearing strange and rather flattering outfit, a thin seeming material between segments much like a frame on her body would clearly be skin tight, accentuating her form and thusly be rather provocative. It was like everything was almost visible yet was neatly hidden, the woman in question wearing this for efficiency and to stay cool due to her high running temperature, though it wasnโt like she didnโt know how people seemed to not be able to get used to it and paid so much more attention to her than where/when she was from. Still the oddest aspects of her appearance were the odd machine like protrusions sticking out from the top of her head, above the area of her ears and even more odd was a long mechanical tail swooshing around behind her, it was covered in semi neon blades running up about half its length and protruding from the tip, all in all she probably looked like she was from a sci-fi movie(if they got movies they gotta have sci-fi!!!). This womanโs mind was on a few things at this moment, a half frown on her face caused by having a small mental block and finding herself low on energy, which in turn had impeded her current project and forced her to revel in her lack of food or funds and as such need to make some money, though until this project she was working on was over she wouldnโt be getting paid.
Still a girls gotta eat and there were ways to pay for what she needed, maybe not the most appropriate or legal decision on her part, sheโd find a nice looking guy and using abilities available to someone as capable of herselfโฆ.. using her skills to have him part with some of his money toward herself, for her using inappropriate skills give him a big gold ryo(like a $100bill) coin that she had just produced with her metal creation, shaping abilities and skill. She wasnโt proud of this but what needed to be done needed to be done, though she couldnโt do this a lot lest get in a lot of trouble, this was highly illegal and she had been warned against it when she inquired about the topic. Still she was doing this for the food and the change that would be supplied, making her able to have some legal tender in her pocket. Thatโs why when her nose picked up the scent of a markably more attention snatching, hunger reminding and the greater quality in comparison to the other food vendors she had already passed by and passed up, thatโs how Rikona choose to try her luck at Akimichiโs Snack Wagon. The vendors cart was large with a great, almost reddish wood counter, four seat for the customers and short curtains with its name emblazed upon it and lanterns off to either side(I assume thereโs one out of sight), then of coarse there were a few of the owners own personal tool visible from a distance behind the counter, a shelf off to the side.
Really it looked quite nice in her opinion, even if in a way that one appreciates an inefficient antique, this nothing to do with looking down on the cart itself and everything to do with how she was used to things or that mobile food was done differently where she was from. Finally through the half rim glasses soon her face did she focus on the big, brunette beefcake that was the one man operations mastermind, a man she pegged as clearly more considerate and dedicated that some of the more outwardly expensive or extravagant vendors. You see quality only need go so far before it becomes inefficient and additions or attempts to modify and decorate things can display how impersonal a chef or employee you might get faced with. This one however had its well built frame, efficient design and most importantly, a clear sign that he was thinking greatly about the customers being served than making big cash, maintaining multiple different cooking appliances built into one cart would not be easy at all and it all was. That is why she would stroll up to the cart and hop onto a seat, leaning foreword and leaning an elbow on the count to support her hand under her cheek that she lent on with a smile, placing down her E-pad(is basically a tablet but a lil thicker and not as incredible, she uses it to draw and design schematic.) and looking at the owner with her bright, augmented eyes. โHey thereโฆ. A hearty beef dish mr chef, plus a starters dish and side, chefs choice, Iโll take any carbonated drink youโve got, if none coffee! Also Iโm going to use a little extra space as Iโm working on something, I will move it if another customer comes and I am in the way, this is ok, yes?!โ She started off slow, meeting his eyes as she made her order, not really polite about it with her choice of words, though certainly not demanding or anything, at least until the second part which was basically a statement, she wasnโt asking and was simply informing him of her actions, though her voice or accent would likely come of as uniquely odd, as if what she spoke was not her normal language, maybe thatโs why she lacked general politeness. Her tail would bend off to the side opposite the other seats in a lazy, half subconscious rhythm with only a little focus for its situational awareness, the hand she was leaning down would lower and spin the pad toward her, pulling out a pen like thing and lighting up the screen after clicking a button, showing a blank white screen that she almost immediately started drawing in some lines with the pen thing she held.
Ooc:Ignore her ranks and stats, this is based after she graduated.)
tab Whistling as he worked, Chosuke was merrily at work as he went about dicing up various vegetables to replenish those he had prepped earlier in the day. He'd had a steady stream of business for most of the day, but now found himself with a bit of a lull, giving him a chance to do a bit of prep work to hopefully keep some pressure off himself should another wave of customers arrive. However, his bit of busy work was soon interrupted by the arrival of a customer who seemed to be all business, their brief greeting swiftly followed by a full course order. "Hey there. Welcome to the Snack Shack. Give me one sec and I'll get right on your order." Chosuke said from over his shoulder as he finished chopping up the last bit of the celery he'd been working on. Quickly sliding the various vegetables off his cutting board into their proper containers and placing them into his storage fridge, he then finally turned to properly face his customer to see a rather petite girl setting up shop at his counter. However, it wasn't her size or anything else about her natural appearance that caught his eye but rather, what seemed to be several body modifications she possessed, namely a tail and something resembling a set of animal-like ears or perhaps a set of horns. While he was certainly curious about these additions to the girl's body, his mind was more preoccupied by the order she had placed. After all, he was a professional ....... well as professional as a guy like Chosuke could be.
tab With so much freedom in the girl's order, Chosuke needed a moment to consider his options. "Hmmm. Looking for some beef, eh? Let's see. Hmmmm ... Oh! I've got just the thing." he said, thinking aloud as he often did before coming up with a proper plan. He then turned around to begin setting up for the meal he had planned, pulling out a grill to set atop the left side of his stove and a wok pan for the front element on the right. Naturally, Chosuke set about his appetizer first, getting some rice going in the front wok to be used in the onigiri he had planned for the appetizer. While he waited for the rice to boil, he took a moment to fill a glass of water from a pitcher he kept in the fridge and turned back to attend to his customer, placing the glass down in from of her. "Alrighty. App should be done in a couple of minutes. Just gotta let the rice cook through. Unfortunately, I don't have anything carbonated but I can put on a fresh pot of tea or coffee for you if you'd like. I've also got plenty of juices to choice from if you'd like." he explained to the girl. "Oh! And I've got these to snack on while you wait." he said, pulling out a bowl of salted edamame and setting it to her side in hopes of not interrupting whatever it was she was working on.

After a long day Shikarie decided to take some time and go see an old friend. One was was near and dear to her heart. Someone who always, no matter what, had a smile on his face. With a cigarette lit perched between her lips her left hand would hover over the stick as she started to take her last puff. Once she was close enough to arrive in a few seconds but far away so Chosuke wouldn't smell it, Shikarie would drop the cancer stick on the ground and smash it with the bottom of her shoe. You see, she was trying to hide the fact that she picked up smoking from Chosuke, she thought he wouldn't approve and would through a fit. But whether or not she smelled like smoke she wouldn't know. At least, she hoped the small walk would be enough to at least musk it enough for the smell of food to cover it. Approaching the stand Shikarie would take a seat. The owner was taking care of some things, busy at work. Balling up her hand in a gentle fist her knuckles would lightly knock on the counter. Once the man would turn around Shikarie would just smile."it's been a while, huh Chosuke?" Chosuke and her had been friends ever since they were kids. They were even placed on the same team together when they graduated from the academy. But as they got older and rose in the ranks their careers took separate paths so they haven't seen each other in quite some time.
Shikarie had just finished her little...sparring session with Mina. Pretty much got her a** handed to her towards the end there. Her white jacket would be covered in dirt and even tho her hair was normally a mess, it was a bit more tussled than usual. "So tell me what's new with you?" If she was being perfectly honest she wasn't all too please with the results of the sparring match. Not necessarily that she ended up losing, but that she wasn't even confident to say the main objective was even achieved. So She came to Chosuke in hopes his normal cheery attitude would brighten her own mood. While she waited for him to respond Shikarie couldn't help but notice he looked much different than she had remembered. He was much taller and looks to be standing at 6'. Then she started to wonder how short she was compared to him.'How tall am I again?' She thought to herself '5'2" I think....' Then it hit her, Chosuke was significantly taller than she was.
OCC: I decided this will take place after her spar with Mina ]
tab Whistling as he worked, Chosuke was elbows deep in the sink, working his way through the stack of used bowls that sat to his left. He had just finished one of his usual rushes and while it was tempting to take the brief lull as an opportunity to relax, he knew better than to let complacency slip its way into his business. Hard work and diligence. These were what he believed to be the key to running a successful food cart (though it didn't hurt that his food was especially tasty as well). As such, he took this brief pause in business to take care a bit of housekeeping around the cart, namely the dishes. Then again, he never minded doing the dishes. He actually found it quite relaxing, almost zen like.
tab Lost in his own little world, Chosuke didn't even notice the sound of footsteps approaching his cart. It wasn't until he heard the person knock that he was greeted by the sound of a familiar voice. "it's been a while, huh Chosuke?" At this, Chosuke quickly turned around. Sure enough, it was old friend Shikarie. "Oh wow! Hey there, Shikarie! It really has been ages, hasn't it?" he greeted her excitedly, offering her an enthusiastic wave with his sudsy hand, sending a small clumps of bubbles flying about as he did so. "Oops. Sorry about that. One sec." he said, a bit embarrassed by his almost childlike response to her arrival. He just had trouble containing his excitement at getting to see her after so long.
tab After taking a brief moment to rinse off his hands and dry them, Chosuke turned back to face Shikarie once more. Now that he was able to take a closer look at her, he was surprised to see just how much taller than her he had grown to be. They had been pretty close in height as kids but somehow in the time they'd been apart, he had shot up like a weed while she seemed to remain the same. However, this wasn't the primary thing that stood out about her appearance to him. A closer examination of her clothes and unkempt state of her hair would show the wear and tear of battle. No doubt she had seen some serious combat recently. Also, it was faint, but he could detect the faint smell of cigarette smoke on her. While he didn't necessarily approve of the habit, knowing the harm it could do to one's body, he decided to leave the matter alone for the time being. It seemed she had already been put through the wringer enough for one day. There was no need for him to pile on.
tab When asked what was new with him, Chosuke seemed to stand a bit taller, holding his chin high. "You're looking at it!" he said proudly, holding his hands out to his sides to gesture to the cart he stood in. "I retired from the shinobi game and put everything I had into the Snack Wagon and business has been great!" he explained, grinning from ear to ear. He then took a short pause, allowing himself a moment to look around him. He didn't often take the time to take in all that he had accomplished, normally focused more on how he could improve, but it felt nice to let all he had achieved sink in. "Yep. Managed to upgrade that dinky little noodle cart I had back in the day into a proper food stall. Think I might even be able to open a full restaurant if things keeping going well, though I'm still a long way away from that."
tab As nice as it felt to celebrate his own success though, Chosuke was far more curious about what Shikarie had been up to in their time apart. No doubt, her life was far more interesting than that of a simple chef. "What about you? What all have you been up to lately?" he asked her, eager to hear all she had to share.

Chosuke seems super proud of Shikarie for being able to make ANBU and even through a bit of a tease about her staying at Chunnin rank."Yeah, if you ask me I should nap more." Shikarie would say jokingly back. It was meant as a joke but there was some truth behind it. She has gotten busier which in return allows for fewer naps during her day. But she always manages to sneak a nap in somewhere, just to avoid work she doesn't want to do.
With mention of Mina Chosuke had to take a moment to recall who Mina was. She was a bit surprised it took him as long as it did for him to remember who, they did participate in the exams at the same time as her. Then again, if you don't see or talk to someone in a while one could forget."Barely....The session didn't go as well as I'd planned.... so it ended up with her slamming my head into a rock. I don't even think I made any progress at all" She said in her usual complaining tone, failing to mention the training was the control the mark. Rubbing her head a bit she swears she still feels a bit dizzy from it.
Shikarie had questioned how Chosuke had kept in such good shape if he was retired. His response? To bring Shikarie to the gun show, free of charge. She understood the words that were coming out of his mouth, but it was a mystery to her why on earth he was flexing his arms like that. Where there people fighting behind her. Shikarie even took the time to turn around to just see people walking around as usual. The fact that Chosuke was flexing his muscles was actually because Shikarie had mentioned his physique. Clearly not in a flirtacious way, but even then it was lost on her. For some reason she thought it was for intimidation. Her attention was pulled back to the Akamichi as he offered to help her with a work out regime."No way I never want to fight her again. She bounces all over the place, it's annoying." She complained and taking her a few seconds to relized he just through shade at her"String bean? Heyyy I'm not that tiny." Shikarie felt she was pretty normal for her size, but compared to Chosuke anyone her size would be a string bean."You know what, you don't have anyone else here right now, why don't you show me what you make for your so called regime?"Half of her was teasing him but the other half was genuienly interested. You see, for some reason Shikarie had never gotten the feel of the whole cooking thing. When they were younger Chosuke would do all of the cooking so she never had to and when she did try to cook things...never really paned out. She could follow of recipe step by step exactly and still some how mess it up.
tab Chosuke chuckled a bit at Shikarie's response to his question, finding it amusing that she would tease him with her answer whereas he had been so forthcoming. 'Guess some things never change.' he thought to himself, enjoying the nostalgia. When she finally revealed to him that she had joined the ANBU, he let out a low whistle. "Oh wow. That ANBU, huh? That's amazing. Sounds like you've got a lot of exciting stuff in the works."[ he said. He then laughed as his friend added to her first statement. "Right. Right. Can't have you taking on too much responsibility now. Might cut into your nap schedule." he replied, this time being the one to tease her a bit. "Still though, becoming an ANBU is a big deal. Congrats." he added once his laughter had subsided.
tab Upon being asked if he remembered someone named Mina, Chosuke paused to think. The name sounded familiar but he couldn't quite put a face to it. 'Mina. Mina. Mina.' He ran the name through his head several but kept coming up blank. It wasn't until Shikarie mentioned hand-to-hand combat that it finally hit him. "Oh! That Mina. Yeah. I remember her now. I can imagine she makes for one hell of a sparring partner. Glad you managed to make it out in one piece." he said.
tab Before Chosuke could inquire further about the fight though, he suddenly found himself on the receiving end of Shikarie's wagging finger, being questioned about his physical state. He couldn't help but chuckle at her inquiry. Usually people only talked to him about his food and didn't even notice his muscles (or at least, he didn't think they did). "Come on now. Just because I'm not a shinobi anymore doesn't mean I'm not gonna keep myself in shape." he said. "Really though. It's all just proper diet and exercise. With that, anyone can get a body like this." he explained, taking a brief moment to flex his a biceps before bringing his arms back down. "I could help you develop a regime of your own, if you're interested. Maybe you'll stand a better chance against Mina with a bit more muscle on you, aye string bean?" he offered, though he was mostly just teasing his friend, knowing the chances she'd ever take him up on such an offer were as slim as she was.

tab Seeing Shikarie turn away from his muscular display, Chosuke gave a soft chuckle. 'Yeah. Figures she wouldn't be impressed by how big my biceps have gotten.' he thought, shaking his head. Like she had previously stated, she had little interest in taijutsu so muscles weren't something she'd concern herself with. Although, after giving him a better description of the kind of beat down Mina had given her, he wondered if she might reconsider her stance on the importance of hand to hand combat skills. At the very least, it seemed his "string bean" comment had struck a nerve, even if it did take her a few seconds to catch it. "I don't know. You're looking pretty thin from where I'm standing. Makes me wonder if you're eating enough." he said after giving a hearty laugh at her reaction.
tab When asked about his own eating regime, Chosuke's eyes lit up. "Yeah? You wanna see what kind of stuff I'm cooking up these days? I can whip up some dinner for us right now. No problem." he said eagerly. Not even waiting to see if she was even hungry, he quickly turned around, giving his hands a quick wash before beginning to gather the various pots and pans he would need to prepare the meal he had in mind for the two of them. "So I'm thinking we'll do some sort of ramen dish with a side of steamed rice but what were thinking of for a protein? I've been on a bit of a beef kick lately but I could also do pork or poultry if that's more to your taste? Or are you more of an 'all veggie' kind of person? It'll have plenty of veggies either way but I can definitely make sure I cook up an extra portion if that's the case. I've also got plenty of edamame on hand if you're looking for something to snack on while you wait. Just let me know." his words spewed from his mouth at a mile a minute, matching with the speed at which he moved about his food cart. It was probably a lot for Shikarie to take in but he couldn't help himself. It had been so long since he'd had the opportunity to cook for her that he couldn't contain his excitement.
๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐๐๐ โข Berserker: Your hardened body naturally is as protective as Heavy Tier armor without its drawbacks. Degradation of the user's natural defenses applies in the same manner as armor. Once depleted, any damage the user takes, no matter the rank of damage applied increases the user's active strength and speed mildly for two posts. Should the user take additional damage before the end of the second post, the increase stacks, refreshing it's active time. โขBattlefield Presence: The user's powerful presence on the battlefield strikes terror into their foes. Opponents are able to sense the user's terrifying fighting spirit five feet from the user per body rank of the user through chakra sense. Those within range can have this radiating fearful aura become the trigger for genjutsu, allowing genjutsu to be cast by acknowledging the user. In addition, should an opponent be targeted by a melee technique that is greater in rank than the target's body rank that target has tier two paralysis applied to their legs, requiring it to be broken by Kai equal to the user's body rank, costing the target no activation for that specific instance of kai.

It seemed that Chosuke didn't quite get the Shikarie was asking of him. He took it as in, "Please cook for me" rather than her asking to actually have him teach her how to cook. You see, even though Shikarie was smarter than the average joe, cooking was one thing that was lost on her. No matter how closely she kept to a recipe she somehow always manage to screw it up. Tasting awful as a result. Now that she thought about it, Shikarie would probably make an awful wife someday cause of it. Damned gender rules. Why did she have to do all the cooking anyway? Her mind was getting side tracked with the future, and already getting annoyed at herself for even thinking so far in the future.
As she thought, Shikarie would balance her head on her hand while the ball of her elbow was pressed against the countertop. Her check was smooshing into her hand as the weight of it was being carried by her hand alone. The other arm would just rest on the countertop. The index finger would lightly tap against the wood. She didn't fully realize it, but Chosuke was talking to her and asking questions about what she would like to it. She was only brought back to reality when her brain recognize the sound of someone talking"Huh? Oh uh yeah whatever sounds good. You already know, I'm not picky. " Watching him work was quite refreshing."Man, I don't think I've ever been that happy to work." Surely, Chosuke would have the biggest smile on his face. He did love what he did, and it showed. As her head rested on her hand Shikarie could feel her eyes start to get heavy and yawned a bit. 'That fight really must have kicked my a**. Maybe I'll let my eyes rest just a bit' She thought to herself. After just a few short minutes Shikarie would feel her head nod and start to slip off her hand. Causing herself to wake back up she would jolt backwards, nearly knocking herself and the stool she sat on to the ground. Rubbing the back of her head out of embarrassment she would laugh nervously."Sorry, it's not you, swear!"

Sora strode purposefully and energetically, pulling a small wooden cart behind her with what was until recently, filled with stacks of fliers, fliers which she had been putting up since early morning. A slightly heavy duty staple gun and couple boxes of mostly used staples lay in the little cart, the girl pulling on the device didnโt give of the impression she had been beaten down by this mundane task, humming to herself as she paused at a post, grabbed a poster and the staple gun, pressed it against the post and with two metallic clicks, the flier was now advertising a local bargain store prices with some coupons attached to the bottom for extra incentive. Placing the staple gun back into the cart the tiger girl continued her route, tail passively swishing behind her depicting that her spirits were still high as she continued on down the street, pausing at each post to add a new flier and continue on, a bit of a spring in her step. This continued until the flier pile was really low, the Girl pulling a very folded map from one of her jacket pockets and unraveling it before glancing over its details. [โLooks like I been going the right way! Just gotta turn down that street and Iโll have put up all the Fliers and should find the person whoโs usually there around this time!โ She exclaimed out loud to no one but herself, a rather high amount of pep in her tone for the type of grunt work she had been up to. Folding the map back up and pocketing it again a pale hand would grab onto the cart's handle and it was back to it, the tiger girl running her other hand's fingers through her striped hair as she returned to the march.
At the last lengths of her journey when she rounded a corner did a specific and well known mobile establishment came into view, owned by a famed as very strong shinobi who had a big heart ran, at least that was what she had heard and she was hoping that this man might give her some time so she could put a request upon him of sorts. She sniffed the air as she approached, for each post she attached flier, she got nearer to his cart and the more vivid a smell her nose picked up on, causing her to wish she could afford to throw away money at meals like this as her nostrils, mind and stomach sung praises to what she could glean. Finally she would reach the cart and walk right past it, needing to actually finish her first job, which she rapidly would before doubling back her stepping and cart trundling up to the food stands location, pulling out a different folded piece of paper and opening it up to compare the picture on the front to what she was looking at and read out loud โAkimichiโฆ.. Snackโฆ. Wagon, yup this is the place!!!!โ She announced with almost a cheer being she was so loud, her amber-red eyes focusing on what was likely the proprietor, though she would confirm it anyways, speaking out in a confident bellow โHiya there!! Are you Mister Chosuke, the owner of Akimichiโs snack wagon or an employee? I found this ad looking for part time workers and I was hoping to apply. If you are Mr Chosuke then I can tell you that I can start immediately and am a very hard worker and you wonโt regret it, I promise!!!โ She told him and any other person within about fifty fifty feet of their location, not even thinking to introduce herself as she tried to leap into the process, a smile on her face as she gazed with a bright eyed sparkle at the monolith of man, who beyond her knowledge actually held maybe more than one rather important title in the village.
