...Was this what they called a 'Tsundere'? Chieko had to ask herself as Quill's attitude shifted from angry at a likely betrayal, to one of embarrassment at the thought of having a human rescue her. So far, she seemed to fit the description. Amusing thoughts aside though, Chieko turned her attention back to the 'Elder Sister' and their current predicament. They would have to round up the others? Urgh, this was just getting ridiculously and stupidly complicated.

Well, time to act the part again.

[color=chocolate]"...Mhm."[/color] Chieko fixed the Elder Sibling with a serious expression. [color=chocolate]"Quill speaks the truth. The information you have on us our clairvoyance isn't entirely correct. As Aerith stated we do not see a single future, but possible ones based on the current circumstances at hand, but we're not in a good place to elaborate."[/color] Chieko sighed. Urhg, she was tired. She wanted to flop down on a bed and spend all day playing video games, watching anime, and doting on her little sister.

[color=chocolate]"I did say I would agree to help you on a few conditions, which Quill agreed too. One - you do not involve the others. Two, I at least need some money and a place to stay, and ID's would be useful for moving around without getting constantly harassed by the guards. Three, I refuse to take part in any murder plots or other underhanded operations such as the ones you've had planned for us. Stalking. Potential murder. Assault. Kidnapping. If those conditions are acceptable, then I see no reason as to why I can not help you...though from your statement it seems that my first condition may not be doable."[/color]

Below Ground - The Chase
[hr]

Ah, how regrettable that she left her poisons and weapons elsewhere. She really hadn't expected to run into the butterfly like this. Something something about being prepared and all that. Oh well, she had long since stopped caring about that sort of thing. Besides...improvisation was always fun. She was however, surprised to see Vertti cast some magic. The reports had said she had long since stopped after an accident. She could understand doing everything one could to survive against a threat you had no real hope of living against. Admirable, really.

Just made her want to crush those pathetic hopes and her life all the more.

As one might expect of someone of Mie's questionable background and training, the fox already had a plan by the time the mob had started forming. Mie didn't have quite the magical arsenal to propel herself over the crowd in the same manner Vertti did. No, her magical talents lied elsewhere, but she had vastly superior physical ability. One that a simple merchant should never have.

Mie wove through the crowd, expertly weaving through the fighters in the bar and making about as much progress as Lady Vertti was. But it wasn't fast enough. Mie leaped onto a table, vaulting herself into the air over the crowd of fighters. With an acrobatic flip she gripped the head of someone beneath her as she used them as a vaulting point to launch herself the rest of the way over - almost succeeding. She slammed into one of the patrons. Lucky for him, his face got slammed right between her legs.

Unlucky for him, the impact sent them both right to the ground, probably knocking him out and breaking something in the process. Mie rolled with it, coming to a stop where Vertti had lost the shoes. She was heading towards the end of the tunnel, the ext of the underground. Holding out a hand as she ran behind Vertti, a wild grin formed on Mie's lips as she spoke a single word.

[color=slategray]"Shamak."[/color]

If successful, darkness should have enveloped Vertti to the point of her being unable to sense her surroundings. Just the ground under her feet and her body. Should be just enough to slow her down.
