Fiore's rage level grew slighly as she watched Kyrin put her security plate into her pocket, but she tried to shake it off and give a rather unconvincing smile along with a sweatdrop. She didn't want to tell Kyrin that Izzy was her role model. Having a role model seemed somewhat childish and Fiore didn't want to show weakness. She scratched the top of her head nervously.
"We went to school together during the year. I'm a grade lower than her, but I still get to see her on occasion."
Fiore lowered her hand from her head and looked at Kyrin's pocket once again. When it came to her job, Fiore was almost like a different person. She wasn't going to let her just take what she had worked for. She would have to stick around for a while. And besides, she kind of...well...liked Kyrin, for some reason.
She bowed, crossing her foot behind her, putting one hand accross her muscular stomach and her other hand gracefully outward.
"Fiore Niwa, at your service."

 Kyrin's expression softened, "A classmate." She said more to herself then Fiore. It seemed to calm her a little bit, but she still wasn’t sure if she liked this girl around Izzy. She looked Fiore over, "Fiore Niwa, huh?" Reaching into her pocket she pulled out the plate, and tossed it to Fiore, “What’s it for?” She asked absently; her thoughts kept going back to the girl’s abilities.

Lily walked and walked until without knowing how or why she stood on a building's rooftop looking at the seemingly desolete mansion. She was drawn to the old building and soon had made her way to the ground, back over the fence and on to the mansion's grounds. Creeping around until she found the right vine to support her weight Lily climbed to the highest part of the roof and then carefully layed back to look at the stars. An old building run down and poor in condition just like her still standing it's ground. funny how you could learn so much from a buildingLily stayed there as the stars ever so slowly turned in the sky above her.

 Izzy sniffed as she heard Kyrin's instructions, answering "Ok..." before hanging up. Izzy went back to Kyrin's room and picked up Osiris, saying softly, "You'll protect me right Osiris?"
She held the cub close and went into the ballroom, which had remained still brightly lit after they had all gone off to bed. Sitting down on the dias, Izzy petted Osiris, singing nonsense to a random tune, feeling herself calm as she waited for Kyrin's return home.

Lily sat up on the verge of falling asleep, trying to figure out what woke her. She then realized she heard singing coming from somewhere nearby. Only then did she remember all that had happened and where she was at. Being as quiet as possible she eased down to the ground and began to follow the song back to it's source.

"The duckies, they follow the clouds in the sky, and wonder where all of them go. To maybe a castle way up high, a castle made of snow." Izzy sang to Osiris, rocking side to side with the melody that played in her head. She smiled at the image the song gave her and hoped that Kyrin would be home soon so she could show Kyrin the new song she just made up. She grinned at Osiris and asked brightly, "How does that sound Osiris? Good?" She gave a laugh that resounded off the walls of the empty ballroom.

Lily paused just before a vine covered portion of the mansion when she hears laughter just inside. Looking up and down the wall for any place with which to spy she finds a tiny hole some feet above the ground. Carefully moving under the vines she then presses against the wall and catches the last part of the girl's sentence though not enough to understand what was said. "What the heck?"she says under her breath.

Fiore took the plate and held it up so that the light of the moon reflected on it, and gestured Kyrin to walk with her down the sidewalk. She held it up higher to that Kyrin could get a better look.
"This is a solid gold security plate. If you look closely, it had the number of the safe that I broke into and the security company that built it. I guess you could say that this is my trophy."
Fiore led her way to her bicycle that she had left leaning against a wall.
"It's proof that I can beat that security company."
Fiore looked over to Kyrin and remembered that she had to get home to Izzy. She wasn't going to let Kyrin know that she cared about Izzy, but she didn't mind giving her a ride.
"Need a lift?", Fiore said, gesturing to wide, silver handlebars on her bike.

"A trophy," Kyrin said slowly, "Hmm, I don't keep those." She shrugged and looked at the bike. Shaking her head, she said, "No, I'm alright, I'm only a little ways from here."
Nodding a goodbye to Fiore, Kyrin made her way back to the mansion. She was hoping that Izzy was alright and was feeling a little guilty for leaving her there alone. Tomorrow is Saturday... She thought lightly, Maybe I will go raid the upper town and find something nice for Izzy. She walked quickly down 12th street until she could see the mansion. I have to see Craig tomorrow too... Kyrin thought idly, Maybe he could get me a background on this Fiore Niwa.
If there was one thing that Ky didn't like, it was not knowing someone. She knew a good number of the common people of the lower city and all of the members of the mafia. Knowing names and being able to place them with faces and backgrounds was something that Kyrin prided herself on.
Making her way up the walkway she unlocked the doors and entered. Flipping the numerous locks on the inside closed, she went to the ballroom. Upon opening the doors she was greeted by bright lights, shielding her eyes slightly, Kyrin called happily, "Izzy, Osiris, I'm home." At this announcement, Osiris jumped out of Izzy's arms and took off at full speed to Kyrin. Kyrin lifted him up and spun him around before looking back to Izzy with a smile, the girl didn't look too upset.

Fiore smiled as she got onto the seat of her bike, waving to Kyrin as she passed, her silver hair flowing behind her. She felt refreshed. This was the first time she had ever seen Kyrin in person. I mean, she had seen her through the window of that mansion that she watched, but never had a conversation with her. She had her security plate in hand and passed by that very mansion on her way back and arrived at her own garage. She leaned the bike outside and punched in the security numbers of her front door, letting herself in.
"I'm back Grandpa!", Fiore yelled, knowing that he wouldn't be asleep yet. Her grandpa only seemed to sleep during the week, so she didn't mind yelling.
Her short, white-haired grandpa came out into the foyer to meet her. His voice quiet and rather curious, "Well?"
Fiore pulled the gold security plate from her pocket and presented it to the old man, who examined it carefully through his oval lenses, "Seems pretty complex."
Fiore nodded and her fists clenched as her eyebrows lowered..."Not only that...but they had almost identicle floor-sensors to the one's that Dad is presenting in Canada"
Fiore took the plate back from his hands and slipped it back into her pocket, while loosening her grip...she yawned and bowed to her grandfather goodnight, and headed up two flights of stairs to her room.
Her grandfather's eyes followed her as she made her way upstairs..."She has mastered every technique...but I have to do something about that temper of hers..."

Felix poked her head slowly out of the doorway, her eyes marked with dark circles due to lack of sleep. Tired of arguing with Lief over exactly what "shipments" she required for her latest project, Felix had decided to personally (if not forcefully) accompany Lief during his usual black market business, so she could point out the exact items she needed. She had actually, just retreated to her lab a couple of hours ago, in order to continue her work immediately, but certain phone calls from a very distressed mother, left Felix feeling stressed and exhausted. However, no matter how much a good nap sounded, Felix's growling stomach was calling for the primary course of action.
Too lazy to grab her pink glasses on the way out of the lab, Felix fumbled blindly down the hallway in the direction of the kitchen, mumbling only a brief "Hi" to Izzy and Kyrin as they crossed her path. Toast.... Felix thought to herself as she stuffed the bread into the metal appliance, Must have....Strawberry toooaaastt.... As usual, staring intently and muttering at the toaster would not make Felix's meal come out any faster. Shooting one final glare at the machine, Felix made a mental note to "update" the confounded thing...as long as Bella didn't blow it up in the process.

Lily froze when she heard quiet footfalls and remember her encounter earlier she clenched her fists as well. When they finally stopped long enough she detached herself from the clinging vines and slipped away.
Once outside the gate she went to the residents across and once again walked on rooftops. For some reason she needed to think and calm down so walk she did after pilfering some needed survival items. Lily made her way to a secluded pond to think long hard. She jumped at a while realizing she had fallen into a trance and meditated the night away. Chowing down the rest of the food and drinking from the pond she then made her back into the city. Time to con and time to learn from the all the resources that the library had.

Upon seeing Kyrin come in, Izzy's eyes widened before she shot up and across the room, tackling Kyrin with a hug as soon as she had put down Osiris. "Ky! Welcome back!" She pulled back and began speaking rather loudly to the taller girl, "I was so scared when I woke up cause you disappeared and I tried to go to Felix-"
When she saw Felix pass by, Izzy cut herself off, exclaiming excitedly on a new train of thought, "Felix!" She followed Felix to the kitchen, talking energeticly as if it wasnt the middle of the night. "Felix, what were you doing in your room? Were you making another toy? Can I come play with it later? I knocked on your door before, did you hear me? Ky went out for a little while so I wanted to hang out with you."
Seeing Felix prepare toast, Izzy exclaimed, "I want toast too! Please?"

Kyrin looked at her cousin and shook her head, “I’m guessing you got what you wanted then.” Then turning to Izzy she added, “I am going to bed now, you have Felix to play with.” With a smile she picked up her kitten and left, muttering softly to him. It was something about being tired and using him as a plush toy.
As Kyrin entered her room she took of her jacket, placing it on the chair by the door. She debated whether or not to turn on the lights, but she decided against it. Stripping off her shirt she found a soft cotton spaghetti strap and pulled it over her head. Kyrin then crawled into bed. After saying goodnight to Osiris and receiving a lick to the nose, Ky contented herself with pulling up her blankets and falling asleep. About an hour later she thought she felt Izzy climb into the bed, either that or Osiris was up and about to have another bout of “the attack Ky’s feet” game; Ky didn’t care either way, she was too tired to care.
The next morning Kyrin awoke early. Looking at her clock, she rubbed her eyes sleepily. Four hours of sleep? That’s it…you’ve gotta be kidding me. She sighed and rolled out of bed, the floor was cold on her bare feet. Too cold… Kyrin’s shoulders dropped. The only time the floor got that cold was when it had snowed. At least Izzy will be happy…
Kyrin herself hated the snow, she hated being cold and everything that the winter entailed. Moving slowly, she got up and turned on her light. Searching through her drawers, Kyrin selected a black tank top and dark blue jeans. Then she went to her closet and found a beanie and a long sleeved trench coat. Putting the coat on, Kyrin smiled, Ah…warm.
