Haki walked towards the gate only to be apprehended by several of the guards. They questioned who he was thinking that he was working with the poachers. He reassured them that the was part of the guild and tried to show them his badge only to find it missing. He left it on the griffins. Sighing he wanted no trouble and was allowed to leave. Once outside of seeing distance, he transformed back into a small wolf to sneak back in. It didn’t take as long as he would’ve thought with his short less. In a few minutes, he was standing right outside the barrier next to several guards who didn’t even notice him. 

Slowly, he held up a small flower that began to glow and disperse into the air. After his offering was accepted, he ran inside to find Chance. He could sense the griffins in a nearby alley and headed towards it. As he got deeper into the city, it became increasingly harder to bob and weave through the sea of people. His tiny form didn’t help because people didn’t notice him make a path. After a long struggle, he accidentally ran into someone and stumbled back. Looking up, he saw that it was Chance and he was crying.

[color=39b54a]“Chance are you okay? You’re not hurt anywhere, are you? I was sure that I healed everything…”[/color] Haki said telepathically to Chance. His voice became incredibly soft as he whispered [color=39b54a]“Is there anything I can do to help?"[/color]

Adrian unknowingly leaned into Nessa’s soft hand. He had been a long time since someone, other than Haki, cared for him. It was strange but in a good way. Adrian, somewhat hesitantly, grabbed Nessa’s hand that was resting on his cheek and gave it a soft squeeze. [color=0072bc][i]“A little sore but I will be fine.”[/i][/color] Adrian signed with his other hand. 

He then forcibly made himself step away from Nessa. The feelings he had for Nessa was a dangerous one. He feared what it might bring and the memories associated with it. This was not the first time he felt something for another. A long time ago, he met a woman. She had long flowing hair, a bright smile, and a tender personality. He couldn’t ask anything more from a lover, accept for forgiveness because he was the reason she died. One day after returning from a quest, she found her home ransacked and her lifeless body pinned to the wall by over a dozen swords. Drawn in her blood, was the emblem of an organization that he brought down. 

[color=0072bc][i]“We should follow Chance. He might get himself in more trouble,”[/i][/color] Adrian signed while keeping his eyes low. He couldn’t bring himself to look at Nessa. He didn’t want to put her in any more danger than he already had.
