Chieko returned the hug, though unlike Aerith no tears came. She held Aerith for a few moments, until she was able to let go. She was relieved, really, but at the moment she really couldn't afford to be distracted by tears. She couldn't let herself be distracted by Aerith, either. She had to be back by noon, and she didn't have time to waste, but before she could say anything, Aerith's expression took a darker turn, and she began explaining something horrible.

Cultist? Attack? On the town?

[color=chocolate]"...I see."[/color] Chieko took a step back from Aerith. That was...really disconcerting, but what could she do? Maybe she could get help from Fritzi? Would they even want to help? They might even take the side of the cultists. Her thoughts were interrupted by the voice of another person. Another person who had been with them, though one she hadn't really interacted or talking to them a lot. Well, this was no time to try and be morose.

[color=chocolate]"A cultist attack? I see, I see!"[/color] Chieko attempted to put on a brave face, despite her ensuing nervousness. 
[color=chocolate]"Well no fear! As a Hero I won't let them get away with such a thing, haha! After all after all my training Only Elder Sibling is a match for me!"[/color] She then remembered she was on a time crunch and frowned lightly. [color=chocolate]"...I'm sorry though, but I can't stay here long, Aerith, Alistair."[/color] Chieko glanced over her shoulder. [color=chocolate]"Elder Sibling has me on work today."[/color] She turned her gaze back to Aerith. [color=chocolate]"And I have to be back before noon...if I take too long, well...hmph, well it doesn't matter. Of course I'll complete the job."[/color]

Aaah, hook line and sinker. She could tell just from the doves expression she [i]really[/i] wanted the dress. So gullible...but before she could finalize the sell in question, it seems her antics had come back to bite her in her fluffy tail. The man she had helped the other day, Mirt, decided now would be the time to reimburse her for her troubles, it seemed. Had she gotten away with it? Judging from his behavior, it wasn't likely.

[color=slategray]"Fufu, hello again Mirt."[/color] Mie replied with a mischievous grin. [color=slategray]"You wound me, forgetting my pretty face so quickly! Perchance what brings you here today, hmm?"[/color] But it seemed as though misfortune was going to follow her quite a ways today. Not seconds after Mirt showed up, a bigger problem showed itself. [color=slategray]"My, my, it's getting quite crowded in here, isn't it?"[/color] Mie mused, fur on her tail standing on end as she observed the man. [color=slategray]"...here, pretty birdie."[/color] Mie handed Eiko the dress. [color=slategray]""Run along now. I've got business to take care of, it seems. Bring back the dress later and I'll finish my work, hmm?"[/color]

Sending Eiko off was a small kindness. If things potentially got ugly...well, she didn't really care, but she didn't need her secrets getting out.
