[hr]

[color=Chocolate]"Donovan you villain!"[/color] Chieko's eyes widened, yelling after the doctor and unable to even understand why Donovan just simply left. Was he the culprit after all? He was at least complicit, which was just as bad. He didn't deserve to be a doctor. Not at all. He deserved to be hung, quartered, and - Chieko bit her lip, she didn't have time to think about such things. Her mind raced in the few seconds afforded. What could she do? What should she do? She wasn't a fighter. She couldn't fight. She'd die again if she fought.

She was helpless, unable to do anything. Some hero she was...unless. Maybe. Maybe she could use those candles to her advantage? It'd be risky, and she'd need a small room, and Aki's help.

Quill's blade sunk into Flame's chest.

[color=Chocolate]"Aki, come with me...!"[/color] Hopefully Flame brought her just enough time, but she'd need Aki's air magic and ability to cure the incense poisoning. A hero had many things in their arsenal. Strength. Skill...the ability to use their brain. A measure of luck. Chieko ran to the back rooms, deeper into the clinic. Heading to the front door as long as Quill was there was a bad idea - and the Candles would be deeper in the clinic. How many would she need? Two? Three? Even a single might help. Focus. Find some first. 

[color=Chocolate]"Hide further in, Aki..."[/color] Chieko released the other girls hand, giving her only a soft command. Maybe a bad idea, but she was banking on herself being the more priority target. Chieko headed for the first patient room she could find that was empty. As luck would have it, one of the first items she found was a half-burned Candle. If it was good, then she could use this to her advantage. 

Chieko lit the candle immediately, and began barricading the door with whatever she could find. It wouldn't likely hold Quill for long, but if she could just let the candle burn and fill the room for even a few seconds, then it could make this that much easier. According to the others, it didn't take long to work...but there was no telling how long the candles had been burning, or how many of them were there even.

She was oddly calm, despite the imminent danger.

Below Ground - The back rooms
[hr]

Mie seemed wholly unconcerned with the danger she was in. If anything, she seemed entirely entertained by it. She obediently followed, making a few interested smiles and glances at guards and other people as they passed. Had to look the part, after all, but these people weren't making it overly hard to blend in, and soon enough they reached the offices and were immediately met with Ruri who went on to immediately berate them for their appearance.

Rude.

[color=slategray]"Fufu, don't be too hard on the kitten. She's new to this, after all, and isn't quite so welcoming of the stares."[/color] Mie's impish grin turned into a playful pout. [color=slategray]"Sloppy makeup though? Tsk, I'll have you know I am pretty enough without it."[/color] Mie had confidence, if nothing else at the moment, but banter was only going to get so far.

[color=slategray]"And what are you talking about, oldie? Tsuki and Hana are our names, or were you under the impression they were different?"[/color] Questions though? She was being oddly polite, and this didn't smell like a trap. None of her fur was standing on end, and her ears weren't twitching in any particular direction. She could be trusted. Hmm, questions questions. [color=slategray]"But enough banter. You seem to know what we're here for."[/color] Mie smirked. [color=slategray]"The only questions I have are what are we looking for, and where is it? And is there anything you could do to...make it easier for a little fox and kitten to, shall we say, redistribute some information."[/color]
