Scarlet smiled at the girl and went into the kitchen and said “let me whip you up something. I was just about to make some myself. If your looking for Hector he should be in a little while. You can hang out if you like. I was just going to eat and finish opening for the day...”

Then scarlet looked at bane and frowned. “You going to stay like that all day?” Bane nodded, then tilted his head to then girl, then lowered his head and flatted his ears, then perked up again. Somehow scarlet understood and glanced at Claire. “Let me guess...you met a huge scary guy at the ports that made you take off, then met this furry fellow?”

Bane moved and curled around her stool, watching the girl with interest. 


Lady Midnight glanced at him, a knowing look in her eyes. Then she rolled her neck and said “the missing girl is one of my open cases. I got the case from my father when he passed. I just need fresh evidence of something then I could find her easily...I can find anyone if I have the right information” 

She flinched again and closed her eyes as she said “this doesn’t fit their MO. They would just go for nobles, not anyone from the lower level, and most of those taken are of the lower level. And they would have gone for fighters, most of those taken had power involving...” she paused, an idea coming to mind. “Energy.

His uncle told me once the boy is a writer. Would explain why he was in middle level”

She sighed and then answered his question “it’s not the movement, I get headaches from over using my powers and not getting enough sleep. It’s been happening a lot lately so I hint something else is triggering them...” she flipped thru her notes again and jumped back to the case. 

“The rebels also didn’t leave their mark, which they do on every thing they do. They also don’t hurt innocent lives...no, my guess it’s one of the gangs going for a power play of some kind or...” hushed paused, not sure she should tell him her best theory. But then what would be the outcome if she did? She really didn’t care what he thought of her, but now with him asking, she would look into the missing noble with more drive then before. 

“My top theory is that it’s a noble behind this” they pulled up to the park and she opened the door, Fenrir jumping out from the back. “If your staying your welcome too. If not, thanks for the...” she paused, her vision blurring on her as the world spun for a moment. She turned her head, waiting for the moment to pass. “Ride here...”
