"My rat actually. I like my dogs leashed." terra said with a hint at a smirk, keeping pace with him now. "Rats? I just like to know where they're going."

"Ah, I see. Well this rat isn't going to squeak for you, so you'll just have to find out for yourself." Grim replied to her. As he'd said, he wasn't going to go far. So if she was really that interested, she'd just have to follow. He smirked slightly at the thought. Once she realized where he was going, she probably wouldn't be so interested.

"I didn't expect it to squeak. After all I don't speak rat so how would I know what it was saying." She sighed, tucking a loose strand behind an ear and cracking her knuckles absent mindedly.

Grim chuckled darkly at that, but didn't respond. He led her around a few street corners until he came upon the cemetery. It was perhaps the oldest spot in the whole of Basin. So old in fact, that it was probably the only spot within fifty miles that still had grass. It was small, there were maybe only thirty or so headstones that were more or less still standing there, though most, if not all, had been crumbling away over the years for so long, there was no way to tell on any what had once been inscribed on them. All save for one headstone, which looked brand-spanking new compared to the rest. It couldn't have been there for more than a generation. Grim nimbly hopped over the stone wall that into the yard, since the gate was locked.

"Sh." He shushed, casting her a quick frown; but other than that, he said nothing in reply. It was to this fresh headstone he went, and silently sat down cross-legged in front of it, with his back to knife-girl. She was in his territory now. If she wanted to stick around, she needed to keep quiet.

Terra rolled her eyes, before hopping the fence and following after him on light feet. She stopped a pace behind him and to the right, folding her arms and peering down at the head stone to read what was inscribed on it.

The stone read;

"Soldra".

There was no other indicator as to who, or what, was buried there. But whatever was there, Grim obviously had some kind of connection to it, otherwise there would be no point for him to sit there quietly. He had no readable expression, carried no mementos, nor did he have flowers to place. He simply sat there.

Terra tried to match the name to a face but couldn't recall ever encountering someone called Soldra. So she gave a mental shrug and leaned against one of the other older stones, resting her elbows on it. Strange, she thought, that after all this time they had clung to such an archaic idea as stone head stones.

"Wake them, we're moving." the Bidder snapped, snatching papers and messenger pads off of her desk as she ordered her guards to rose the rabble. Without a word the two soldiers burst into the side room, calling for Jenga, Roman, and the other two in the room to wake up and get to their feet, they were moving.

Grim continued to stay there for some time, a good ten minutes at least, before finally stirring again. He stood, then wordlessly turned to make his way off. During the entirety of this little episode, he spoke not a word until he was back out in the street. "I believe it is time for us to return." He said.

"That it is." Terra said, having gotten a message from the den a short while ago. "Someone's posing a threat, it's time to disappear."

"Disappearing is something I'm very good at." He replied grimly. "I'm also adept at making other people disappear." He smirked slightly at his own joke. It didn't take him long to get back to the office.

Meanwhile, Keenan jumped out of bed to follow after the two guards.

Terra rolled her eyes "Your humor is painful." SHe sighed,

"Move it come on!" Urged the guard, pushing them out into the open where they were rushed to the dais The Bidder's desk stood on. The Bidder herself had already disappeared down the hatch that opened up beneath her desk, and currently the guards were ushering the four after her. Terra jogged in a short while later, pulling Grim forward and pushing him after them.

"Watch it, Ratboy!" Keenan hissed as Grim was shoved into her.

"Ratboy?" He asked, slightly amused that everyone seemed to be making a jibe about his hair now. "Heh. Sorry there, Shorty. Didn't see ya there. Might want to be careful; no one might notice if you suddenly got lost." He said, mussing her hair teasingly.

She snorted before continuing on down the dark hall.

"Hey rat and twig, move your asses please!" Jenga called from the back. Terra rolled her eyes before elbowing him in the back so he collided with Grim and the two fell down through the passage after Keenan.

Victor knew he was spotted, someone had sounded an alarm of sorts as soon as he had entered the Green District but he didn't particularly care. If anything it would flush the Bidder and her sewer rats right out into the open.

Keenan narrowly evaded getting thrown off her feet by the two bigger men who could be seen now dogpiled on the ground, and she started laughing. "You guys suck." She laughed, then kept walking.

Grim sniffed before kicking Jenga off and pushing himself to his feet. He shrugged. "Okay, so I might have deserved that." He replied, then followed her.

"Ow..." Mumbled Jenga, wiping dirt from his face before scrambling to his feet and hurrying after the others. Smirking to herself Terra brought up the rear, closing and sealing the hatch behind them,

"So where does this go?" Keenan asked curiously of no one in particular.

There was no response, just hurried footsteps.

Victor had just stepped into the green district, dressed in tactical stealth riding gear with his hand gun strapped to histhigh and a scowl aimed at anyone who came to close.

Meanwhile, Marie stirred slightly. She yawned, and groggily opened her eyes. She was hugging a...pillow? She frowned, then looked around at the now empty room. She sighed. He must have gotten a call while she was asleep. She sat up again and glanced around once more. Then a grin slowly crept ono her face. Now he couldn't harp at her for cleaning. So she got up, started the coffeemaker, and went back to cleaning.

Addon:

She continued to clean for a few hours, once stopping for a coffee break and a quick shower. Afterwards, she discovered that he was again out of food, and so she decided to go out and replace some groceries. There were markets in the Grey, but she had a home on the border between Grey and Yellow, and there was a market near her hous just inside Yellow that she found had very good things there. So off she went back towards her own house.
