''Ho yes, yes i'm fine'' The girl said with a smile though Delphine could feel that she was not. She almost called her out on it, but figured if she wanted to talk she would.

''I was just wondering if she was around so i could say hello and stuff, ya know, thank you though," The girl paused, making Delphine study her closely. She seemed lonely.

"I mean.. for asking'' The girl finished. Delphine gave the girl a brilliant smile and pulled out one of the Cafe Amour cards.

"Here," she paused as she wrote on the card. In delicate flowy script she wrote:

'Delphine or Mira
255-747-3332
Call if you ever want to talk'

She handed the girl the card just as she started towards the back to pick up another order. On the way back a man grabbed her butt. Beet red, she turned and glared at him, but knew she could do nothing about it. She turned in a huff and walked away, doing her best to ignore the man.

"Here," The woman handed a card where Amy could read:

Delphine or Mira
255-747-3332
Call if you ever want to talk'

Amy smiled as the young woman, called Delphine or Mira apparently, walked away.

That was exactly what Amy needed, an ear to listen.
Maybe, talking a bit couldn't hurt.

As Amy started to eat her strawberry cake, she heard chuckles coming from a man sitting at a table not too far away from her. Noticing what he just did, she suddenly wanted to take out of her pocket one of her fire crackers (OOC: i mean, EVERY kid should have fire cracker in their pocket) and put it on the edge of his chair, just to avenge her possibly new friend.

But she resisted, she knew that doing so could cause trouble to her or even Mira, who knows what the client could come up with.
she simply continuated to eat.

Sloth arrived quickly at the border (OOC: don't ask me how, i don't even know myself). It would be his first time inside the ghetto. He never went there before because he never had to but now... now things where getting serious. He had to find Nise before she could get injured.

''Alrighty doo...'' Sloth placed one foot inside...... then another one.

''Abracadabra, i'm inside''
(OOC: .............. shut up, he's a kid inside a grown man's body =w=''')

''Let's go find that trouble maker'' Sloth walked down a little street full of garbage. ''what a disgusting place....''

Sloth never really liked the monsters since the beginning. As a kid, he's friends and him would go bully those poor monsters who would happen to be out of the ghetto. Things didn't get better when some cruel monsters, who probably wanted revenge, murdered his family.

''Chô, can you see her on your gps ?''

''Yup, she's in the big big street on your left, Nyu''

Sloth turned on the big big street that Chô was talking about. ''Holy Akusume....'' The street was crowded like hell. Sloth was even more surprised when he saw some humans pass by. They weren't a lot of them but still.

''Well..... what now ?''

...............

The final bell marking the end of the school day rings and children come flooding out of the classrooms inside and out into the courtyard. Kathryn waits until all the buses have left with all the children in them and then she leaves the school. If she goes right, she would walk to the ghetto and left would take her to the main part of the city. She basically lived at the border between the 2 sections of the city. The shop was crowded with children buying sweets and chocolate instead of going on their buses. Kathryn crosses the road and decides where to go today. She could go to the ghetto for the first time, the city for the 6th time or into her house for like the billionth time. In the end, she walks into the house. She'd be teased in the main city and maybe killed at the ghetto. The shop was so crowded that it was definitely not an option. She closes the door behind her and turns back around to see her parent's bedroom door creak open. "Why does it always do that?!" she says to herself. Kathryn walks up the stairs to shut the door.

Delphine hesitated as she passed the window. A blond girl much like the younger gal had menioned was standing a across the street loking lost and or confused, as if she was looking for something or someone.

'i wonder if thats the friend she mentioned...' Delphine asked as she glanced over at Amy. She quickly walked up to her, tapped her ont he shoulder and pointed at the blond girl through the window.

"is that her?" she asked with a kind smile.

"is that her?"

Amy looked up at Mira and then in the direction she pointed.

''.......... holy molly !!!'' Amy quickly pulled her hoodie on her head. ''so she really is here huh ?........ crap'' She said to herself.

''God damnit where is she ?!?''

''Nyu, you shouldn't speak loud sloth, Nyu, you are human'' Chô warned Sloth.

''ho... sorry....''
Sloth walked walked and walked in the crowd and tried to be as discret as possible, looking all around him to find Nise but found nothing.

'where is she....... if only those monsters would just move out of the way' Sloth thought.
Even though he didn't like the thought of it, he thanked the few humans who lived with the monsters. Because of them, humans weren't so suspicious in the ghetto.

Suddenly, he saw a piece of clothing that looked oddely a lot like Nise's cape. Analyzating the being, he could see a few blond locks floating in the wind with some white feathers.

'there she is !!' Sloth pushed through the crowd and tried to get a hold of her.

Nisekibo

". . . huh?" Nise turns around, noticing the disruption in the crowd. In the hassle, she spots a familiar face...

"Sloth?!" Nise pushes through to get up to him. She grabs his arm and pulls him down so she can whisper to him.
"What are you doing?! Why are you-" Nise throws a glance behind her.
"Come on, we've got to get somewhere more private..." She pulls Sloth aside, into a side street.

"So..." Delphine paused and examined the girls reaction.

"You aren't friends, your trying to avoid her aren't you?" Delphine asked as she watched a blond boy pull said blond girl into a side street.

"It looks like she's a little busy with the cutie over there" she said with a small smile not thinking the situation was a big deal.

"It looks like she's a little busy with the cutie over there" Mira said.

''......... and Sloth is there too, it must be my eafin BIRTHDAY!!'' Amy said as she smacked her forehead on the table.

Amy lifted up her head and didn't see Nise anymore so she pulled off her hoodie. She then looked up to Mira.

''I would gladly present you to him if the little blond girl wasn't trying to burn me, torture me, kill me, etc'' She said with a sign.

Sloth was grabbed and pulled into a side street by Nise.

''ho Nise !!'' Sloth said while hugging the little being. ''I'm so glad that you're still okay''

Nisekibo

"Ah, it's nice to see you too, Sloth, but this isn't the time to be hugging it out!" She pushes Sloth away.
"You know you shouldn't be here, she says with a worried look, you could get killed! Haven't you seen what happened just up the street? A man just died. He's decapitated, he's got no left arm, and has been drained. So if you're not here to help with that, I suggest you leave."
She turns on her heel, about to walk off if the other direction.

''NISE WAIT!!!'' Sloth ran in front of her and blocked the passage. ''I can't let you go like that, you're the one who's gonna be killed''

Sloth's breath got louder. His heart beat got faster too. He already lost Akusume, he's not going to let go Nisekibo like that.

''listen, I know you want to find her but there are other ways. Let me help. I can upgrade you, find you new weapons. You could get killed by anything here, it's a place filled with monsters after all.''

Nisekibo

Nise sighs in frustration and thought. I guess I could use some new gear, she thought. And it'll get him and Chô off the streets... Nise thinks it over a couple of times before finally settling on her answer.

"Fine, she responds, I'll come with you."

Sloth patted Nise's head. ''That's my girl.''

Sloth had the strange impression that it was Nise that was looking out for him. Sloth signed Kids these days.

He made his way back at the border with Nise. He wanted to walk hand in hand with her like in the old days but she grew up so much. The death of her sister made her go in that creepy little place called darkness. Sloth really started to blame himself for what happenned that day, even though he was trying to not blame this on anyone. And for the first time, he didn't blame the monsters.
