Kemry stared up at the building in complete awe. THIS was where Millie--Lady Rodmilla lived? She barely caught the trailing sentences about papers and shaking her head she looked up as the woman crossed the threshold speaking of employment. Startled Kemry stuttered out her question.
"What do you mean I'm going to work? It's not anything dirty is it, because just because I'm a street rat doesn't mean I don' have standards. My family is one thing--" her sudden mistrust obvious in her voice as she stood outside, suspicious of today's odd events. Her anxiety for her family was peaking, and she was becoming overwhelmed.
What if this is some sort of guard trap, she thought, and what about my family? She paused, glancing up and down the street. A small unfamiliar girl was trying to steal an apple from some man's windowsill. Almost cat-like Kemry stood her ground, stubbornly waiting for Millie or Karl to appear. I'll give them a chance to explain, she thought carefully, but I'm not walking in there for anything less than a guard chasing me down. I'm not that much of a fool walking right into a noble's house who would sooner have me jailed, even if she does carry some fame for her kindness.
Impatiently she tapped her foot as she waited, glancing occasionally at the young girl in the shadows.

((umm, I will just post that Demi is wondering around xd ))
Demitry slinked around the shadows. She gave the apple she stole to a small orphan outside of her ally. She saw a taller girl glance at her. She walked up to the taller girl and asked. "Yeah?" As if the tall girl had called her.

Kemry glanced down, surprised to see the child suddenly next to her within mere moments. She could have sworn the girl had been much further away. I'm losing it, she sighed inwardly, it seems like everything I've learned on my own is just slipping away. I've got to get a grip.
"Yeah what?" she said with an undeserved edge as she looked down. Feeling ashamed of her tone she added softly, "What's your name?"
Bending down to the girl's eye level she swallowed her frustrated anger and tried to soften herself in the sweet way Elizabeth did with the children so that she didn't frighten the girl. She caught sight of the small red ribbon tied to the child's arm and stared at it puzzled before looking back at the house for any sign of Millie or Karl.

He ran over to her, grabbing her arm.
"You lunatic!" he wasn't exactly angry, just exacerbated with the things going on. Today was not an easy day, and every year it got harder and harder. Just as he was about to lay into her, Millie walked outside.
"Stop man-handeling her Karl. It's not becoming." She came to them quickly, holding out a piece of paper. "This will protect you dear, if you don't want to come in. It's a work visa, so that you may come and go freely from my mansion. You're my employee now, but I don't expect anything. I'm here only if you need help."
She grabbed Karl's arm and pointed him back toward the house. "In with you boy." She looked at the girl. "You come back if you need anything. Karl will be here with me for a while. This is a hard time of year. Do me a favor though?" She held out a package. "Follow these directions and take this to my shop. If someone's following you, this will prove you do work for me. Take what you need, but not too much," she said, smiling. "There's some canned fish, some fresh fruit, and some old pan-bread from yesterday."
She walked back indoors, following Karl.

Demitry flinched alittle as the tall girl used a hard tone, then she calmed down abit."Demitry" Was all she said. She checked the red string to see if it was still there.
((sorry for the late reply i was joining a roleplay >.<))

((Sorry for taking so long to post, it seems you guys are logged on when I'm at school.))
"I know how hard it is on you street rats, but the law must be upheld and I'm all but too happy to oblige." Minron walked slowly closer and pointed his sword towards them. "Put down your weapon and I will sheath mine as well."

((Do you guys think I should make two separate posts for the profiles. One for the street rats and one for the gaurds?))
Elizabeth looked up and saw the gaurd talking to Seth and she quietly strode over to them and stood behind Seth.
"May I help you sir?" She raised an eyebrow at the gaurd. "Surely you do not think that this little boy could take down a full grown man?" She placed a hand on the top of Seth's head and smiled down at him and then looked at Alexandra. I must protect them...
"If you must blame some one for this man sprawled on the street then blame me." Her eyes were cold towards the guard, almost daring him to take a step closer.

((Aghh, finally the computer cooperates. Sorry about the delay.))
Stunned Kemry tore her glaring eyes from Karl and stuttered her thanks to Millie as Karl let go of her arm. She was getting fed up with his temper and violent behavior, but she couldn't help the feeling that there was more to it than that. If only he weren't constantly, her thoughts rambled of angrily. She only half listened to Millie's instructions as she took the package. Carefully she rubbed her arm and nodded before turning to the little girl beside her.
"Why don't you come with me Demitry? You can stay and play with Irene and Seth and all the other children." she held out her hand for the girl and waited.

"No, it was the girl, this boy seems too afraid. Don't pull that 'We're just kids' nonsense either, you street rats are more then meets the eye." Minron stepped closer and sheathed his blade slowly. "You wish to take the blame for the injured guard?" He slanted his head slightly as he looked down at her.

Seth glared up at the man as he spoke to Elizabeth. His mind was reeling, What's going to happen to us, he thought desperately. I have to do something!Out of the corner of his eye he saw Kai and Renee slip out of their home, sling and staff at the ready. What are they doing?He wondered as he fingered his dagger more confidently and watched the guard take a step closer, his head cocked arrogantly.
((Okay, I'm calling out the puppet pre-mades. Feel free to pull a semi David and Goliath...or not, I'll leave that to you Lady-Fire and Minron since I'm not entirely sure about where you've got this scene headed. I'll delete this sidenote later.))

"Okay" She took The girls hand. "Who are you?" She asked like she would say 'whats your name'
Her dagger was still in her hand.

Kemry smiled, glancing at the dagger before pulling the girl quickly after her. It was only a few turns and she'd be at the inn in less than a minute.
"My name's Kemry," she said, "and I'm in a hurry. How fast can you run?" with that she took off, the girl in one hand and her package and papers in the other. She was worried that the girl wouldn't be able to keep up so she paced herself as much as she dared, turning twice before finally slowing down to catch her breath. She could hear Elizabeth nearby, her voice venomously defiant, and Kemry's heart dropped. A guard was at her home. She turned to the girl and whispered quietly.
"I need you to do what I say okay? Stay behind me and play along no matter what." She frantically tried to come up with a plan as she stood to turn onto the street where everyone else was.
I don't know if I can do this... her mind screamed, the desire to flee nearly outweighing the desire to protect and help her family. Carefully she composed herself and stepped into the view of Elizabeth and the others, her hand trembling as she clutched Dimitry's.
