-Connor-
"No worries, I kinda got here as fast as I could on purpose, you know, to beat everybody." Connor laughed, a short semi self-deprecating laugh seeing as he had rushed so much that he had even beaten the person who needed to open the door, "And can I get a cream soda with mango ice cream please?" He asked with a large grin.
As he finished his order and was going to fish out a bill to pay, he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. He pulled it out to check and saw it was his uncle calling, he looked apologetically to Rose, handed her a twenty dollar bill and answered, "Hey Uncle Mikey, what's up? Oh, oh crap I hadn't even thought of that, yeah, yeah. I'll go with her, crap, yeah, give me a sec and I'll head down to the nest."
He looked up to Rose, "Can I actually get that to go? The council made a point, I have to swing by the D'finn nest to escort one of the younger kin to the police station." Connor had a sudden realization, "You're D'finn too. Uh, I hate to ask this, I know you don't really like to hang out with the D'finn much, but I would feel better if I didn't leave you here on your own, would you mind locking up and coming with me? You could text Auntie J, I'm sure she'd rather I not leave you alone either."

-Roland-
Roland chuckled when Kira dodged to the side, "Well it sounds like you had fun," he teased as he continued heading for the soda shop. "You said you learned to shoot a bow and arrow and fight with a sword, any good with either of those things?" He laughed, then shook his head slightly, stopping whatever response Kira was about to give.
"As for what's going on with Mary, my guess is you know about as much as I do. The open, public meeting was a bunch of bull, smoke screens by the city council and the elders to quiet the residents, any real info getting shared and worked from is being talked about right now in their private members only meeting." Roland did his best to not sound too bitter. He wanted more then anything to be sitting in that meeting with his father and mother, listening to the going ons of the case. 
He shrugged as they got to the soda shop, "Feral pups first," he teased with a smile, pulling the door open for her.

[i]"That was stupid and pointless Ira." The small boy chided the girl from his perch on a low hanging branch, his voice sounded wise beyond it's years, eerie in it's high pitched tone, and coming from a child's mouth. "She wasn't what we were looking for in the first place, and we took what we needed from her, you shouldn't have made such a mess."
"Shut up Bel." The girl, Ira, was leaning against the tree beneath him and her face was taught muscles pulled tight. "We couldn't leave her alive."
"We also shouldn't have left a huge mess for the townsfolk to find." Bel retorted. "Lulu won't be happy about this."
"Yeah well were you gonna hide the corpse?" She retorted peevishly.
"Point taken, I still think you have major issues. Hanging her from the chains seems relatively unnecessary." The boys voice, though high pitched seemed to come only in a monotone.
"Oh shove it." The Ira said, clenching her jaw. 
"I knew we should have headed back to the city where Lulu found you to make him."
"Well we are going now!" Ira shrieked. Her eyes, which had been almost human, a blueish grey with just the faintest thing off, went pure black with red veins as she turned to throw a punch at Bel.
She froze as where Bel had been was suddenly empty space.
"You need to calm yourself." The small body was suddenly floating just behind her and she felt the burning of the sharp tip of his dagger at the back of her neck.
"Fine, let's just hurry and find someone to make Mammon." She growled angrily, storming away. As her fury faded her eyes appeared to return to normal, and when she turned she watched as Bel's eyes too faded from black into a deep green.[/i]
