He'Lian, with lighter eyes, seemed to be a little bit more like herself. Xi'an was glad, she loved this mother, not the one that was weak, pathetic, sobbing her eyes out for a man that did not love her. Her mother turned to go sit with OScar, legs still shaky, and Xi'an sat herself with her friends, Key and Felix. "But we really did great tonight." She leaned forward, a conspiratorial grin on her mien. "I think I'm off the hook, Madam Magpie was pleased as she left." There were celebrations going around, from the support staff to the performers, until Levi sat down, giving his compliments to them for the show. Felix snickered, tails swishing. "Don't worry, it's magic so it didn't hurt." She winked, rolling her eyes.
Of course, there was a new emergency. The keys were stolen, and they had no way to really know who might have taken it. The best guess had to be the Magpie Mafia, the family that ruled this sector of Earth. Still, there was nothing they could do just now. Xi'an winked at Key, shaking her head, not wanting the little cat to make a fuss. They would investigate, her blood was boiling, the bold swan wanted to go all out. She knew it in her blood that she wanted to go out hunting. But if they let their intentions obvious, they would be stopped somehow, even forcibly. A fiery energy was ripping through her, like a beast trying to claw out of skin. Confidence oozed from every pore. Just like she knew she would do perfectly tonight, she also knew that somehow, they would be able to track down the thief.
Once her mother began breathing more shallowly, Xi'an escaped from the sheets, already dressed in a nice dark outfit, perfect for the twilit sky. She grinned eagerly at Felix and Key, adventure flowing through her blood. They were going to be able to do this and prove to the adults that they were capable of taking care of themselves. "Sorry I'm late." She winked, pulling Felix and Key int oa group hug. "You're not sorry, you love the attention." Felix stuck his tongue out, playfully ribbing her just as always. Key wanted to know what they were going to do about the key. "We'll obviously ask a favor from Madam Magpie herself." She puffed out her chest boldly. "If we're considered friends of Athanax now, she should be happy to help us, right?" Felix slowly nodded, his tail dipping back and forth.
"How are we going to find her? Where does the Magpie Mafia operate?" Xi'an could take them to the black market district, which would no doubt be extra lively around this time. Levi snickered, nodding. "Well, you might want to follow my lead. I know my way around the city at night." Trusting him? While Xi'an was willing to accept him as a friend, Xi'an wasn't so sure about letting a stranger lead them on the adventure. "Or we could track down one of the crows and follow him to the base!" Levi chuckled at her, a little meanly. "They'll definitely notice, and they won't take kindly to being stalked, beautiful magician." Levi turned to Key with a charming smile. "I hope you trust me, partner." He smirked, as if looking forward to duo-ing with Key on stage. "I won't lead us astray."
