"Well, if those two are still in that alleyway, these guys should get them moving." ~~*~~ "Made it all up girl out of anger out of passion turn yourself away make me lonely love, we only need a place to hide out of anger out of love" <by Folk Implosion> The leather clad boyish figure beside de'Vincinti gave a quick nod. Glancing into the goggles the other thief wore, Tawny's scowl faded beneath her cap into a near grin. Her prize was still here. Her demented mentor hadn't scared him off. Now let's see if she could keep him interested. They were almost completely beneath the shadows of the overhanging balconies, and moving toward the far corner of the alley, just past the heaping mounds of trash, Tawny's footsteps fell silent with body movements almost animalistic in their stealth. "Where to Silver?" her voice a low rumble she had to put on, her natural voice being a pitch or two higher but by no means soprano. She wanted to ask, where to a place that wasn't crawling with plague. The girl thought quickly for a location and quickly dismissed where she'd been staying of late, an abandoned walk-up. Keep a place for yourself that no one else knew, keep several if you could. But in a strange city, she'd been fortunate to find one. She was about to suggest the Black Dragon Inn, knowing it wasn't more than five blocks from here. Just then she heard the scuffling on the street perpendicular to the alley, the street FastTalk had taken off to. She glanced in that direction as alarm flashed across her features for a moment and she thought 'No one better be killing that joker before I have the chance.' A flash of movement caught her eye and she saw a large bulk of a man stumbling around the upper alley corner, grasping a wounded leg and the edge of the building interchangably. One wounded, perhaps a potential purse waiting to be lifted off him? No, if Fast had the chance, he wouldn't have left anything unturned. She then heard the loud voice of another asking the first if he was alright. Blasted! How many were there? It didn't matter. Move girl, move! "Dung..." Sparing hardly a glance to the one beside her, Tawny coiled into a sprint, her voice a mere rush of the wind, "Go...meet up outside the Black Dragon..." and she was moving through the maze of the next street, dodging trash and the occasional alley cat and drunken lump. Her lips pressed close together, resisting the urge to call out further. With a quick glance back, she hoped she didn't see Aslian sprawled on the ground with the thugs standing over him.
