[b]sasha[/b]

Sasha wasn't about to go anywhere with Shujin, and certainly not alone, not when she doubted her own strength, and magical energy. Shujin might not have done anything, but he certainly hadnt done anything to inspire trust in Sasha. 

[color=6ecff6]"No"[/color] she said forcefully, [color=6ecff6]"im not going anywhere, and niether are you. Not until this whole mess is cleared up. I don't care if you have to go galavanting off somewhere, you aren't going. Lazarus was just [i]posioned[/i] and you were the only one near us on the train"[/color] her voice was stronger then she thought it would be, and she placed her hands on her hips, standing up straight as if she wasn't about to fall over from weariness.

For she was sure now that, unless one of the train staff had done something, the Shujin was the only one who could have done something. She knew nothing of this man who claimed to be her brother, and she doubted if she wanted to know anything at all. For all she knew, he was responsible for trying to murder Lazarus. 

[color=6ecff6]"I don't need protecting at the moment, Lazarus, you do."[/color] she never took her eyes off Shujin, wondering if he would get that she was practically accuse him of the posioning. She found she didn't care. [color=6ecff6]"trying to lure me away won't work. I'm not stupid, to go off with someone alone just because they claim to be my brother, even if you do look like Ben. You want to talk, we will talk here"[/color]

Her tone left no room for arguement, And she watched Shujin, eyes narrowed, looking for any sign that he was or wasn't responsible for what had happened. Her black hair was a mess, her skin pale, but her eyes blazed with determination. She would get her way, and she would find answers to ar least some of the questions she had.

[b]Penny[/b]

Penny had yet to see Shujin, and thus wasn't distracted by him, nor what appeared to be happening in the threesome. So she just said to Nero, almost pleasantly, clearly with enjoyment [color=f7976a]"you must be a member of the guild to start a tab, otherwise how will we know who owes what? You should have taken my offer, Genine. And you shouldn't have insulted the guild. We may fight, and we may do harm to others, but only when provoked, but we never kill nor punish for the sake of punishment. You should think on that"[/color] she rose as Ayame came over, but paused, and dug out some coins from a pocket, laying them on the bar. 

[color=f7976a]"however you did help out Trinity and the others, even if it came to nothing but Lazarus being posioned, and we always pay our debts. Consider that payment"[/color]

She gave a throaty, almost husky laugh, [color=f7976a]"looks like you just became a freelancer"[/color] the anusement was in her voice, and she looked to Ayame, [color=f7976a]"I assure you, child, you are entirely safe here. Master Jamie wanted you here, for a good reason, but I also know that she wouldn't force anything. In anycase, I know what it's like to be running from something"[/color] at this, Penny's eyes become slightly haunted, [color=f7976a]"so I know you can't run forever. Take the opportunity for meals, and warmth, and a place to sleep. Take a little slice of comfort, because gods knows life is tough"[/color]

With that, Penny walked away, finishing her drink, and putting it on a table. She paused, retrieving another blanket, she tucked it around Mayt. She wondered what was wrong with him, and wondered who she could ask.

Hadnt Sasha mentioned something about Mayt's mother? She remembered the power Nayt had shown in the battle in Edolas, when he had pretty much incinerated a man. So just where was Mayt's mother? Penny bit her lip, thoughtful, and went to Jarvis. It wasn't long before she had a location, so making sure she was presentable, she headed off, feeling like she was about to poke the lions den, but seeing no other choice. What if Mayt was seriously ill, seriously affected by something? That's what she told herself, as she knocked on the door.
