Tamara gave a quick curtsy and a happy smile. She was curious as to who her brother's new friends were.
"Don't even start, Mike.", Grinned Lucien. "Still its surprising to find that you sank a boat! I guess that means we're walking you back to your aunt's house?"

Leith laughed at Mike but made a face at Lucien's comment and said, "Well, it's not her house, really. It's a good friend of hers. But her friend is out of town right now and needed my aunt to house sit, so it worked out because my aunt had some work to do here in the city." She thought for a moment and added, "Have you been in the city, Lucien? Do you think it'll be safe if we take the normal route rather than climbing those?" she pointed towards the steep cliffs looming over them.

Mike beamed at Lucien's comeback. He prayed in his head that they would take a different route. Mike did not want history to repeat itself. He wanted to keep his other arm unbroken.
'Please take a different route, please take a different route, please take a different route...'
His lame arm started to throb and pound blood through his swollen skin. He grimaced for only a second, then he yawned. As soon as Mike got to Leith's aunts home, which he hoped would be soon, he was going right to sleep. He would sleep on the floor or in a sink if he had to.

Lucien smiled, along with his sister. "My friend, you're talking to two of the few people who would dare to hide right under the empire's nose."
"What Nii-chan means is, we live here.", smiled Tamara. "we'll be able to ensure your safety, as long as you don't bring any attention to yourselves."
Tamara scanned through the three new people. "I think Mike will be ok, with his dirt and sand stained clothing, Warakai's gonna have some problems and you'll be...somewhere around the middle...try to hide some of your bright colors."
Lucien just shrugged. "Tam's just better at this than I am."

Leith shrugged and looked down at herself, "I don't have any other clothes with me just now. And Warakai can't remove his tattoos and won't cut his hair, so you're going to have to take us as we are. I'm sure we can keep up just fine if we hurry. The apartment building is on Harrison Blvd."

Tamara looked back at Lucien with a look in her eye. She had an Idea. And Lucien knew what it was. "Alright,", he said "but do it discreetly.
She gave her brother a hug and motioned them to follow her, down a dark alley.

Mike lifted an eyebrow and looked down at his clothes.
'I'm not that filthy,' He thought. '... am I?'
Mike huffed, and was almost immediately crept out by the dark alley everyone was shuffling into. He felt he was entering nothing, which was freaky. He had to clamp his eyes shut for a moment, then move on.

Jessie kept one hand on her waist as she came closer to the harbor, the pillar of smoke drawing her in like a moth to flame. It was only a few blocks away now. She started to wonder what had caused the fire as she walked, and had only come up with a few posibilites when something caught her eye. It seemed like a small flash of something that she had just caught with her peripherial vision. Paranoid as was her nature, she immediatly turned to see what it was, but all she found was a darkened alleyway across the street. The fire in the harbor crossed her mind for one last time, but it was pushed out by the thought that there was a shadowy figure sneaking around. Feeling threatened, Jessie crossed the street and hid just outside the end of the alleyway around the corner, a hand on of her pistols. Slowly, she peered around the corner to see if she could see anything. Nothing.

When they made sure They were deep into the recesses of the darkness in the alleyway, Tamara silently opened a little door. "My brother and I call this a shadow gate. This one directly links to the destination you want to go to. Please go in."
Lucien sat down near the edge of sight behind the rest of them. He patiently waited for the others to enter first before following behind them. For safety, he created a wall of shadow shaped like bricks to fool other people

Warakai's normal smile wasn't there replaced by a forced one as he followed Lucien and his sister down the alleyway. His route off the continent was now to far underwater for him to bring up on his own He felt a little trapped which made him a little uneasy and the fact that he was now being sent into an empty gap in space itself didn't really make things any better.

Leith trusted these people, but this much? She saw the uncertainty on the others' faces despite their efforts to hide it. She took a deep breath, casually placed her palm on the hilt of her knife, and took the determined steps into the portal.
