And the Furrs Walked in...

"I'm like one of those criminals they let out of prison and they keep an eye on. One, I'm one of the few humans in this city, and I have a jewel they want, but I have to give it up willingly." Jessi sighed and held onto her pendant. "It's what brought me here, and I'm not givin' it up."

Centon nodded. "She was lucky enough to get the position as photographer. The first one had died in an accident."

"Accident accident or political related accident?" Kiara smirked. She was so glad that she never settled down in one place.

"It was political. He was selling secrets. At least Jessi-san just takes blackmail photos."

"If you want, I am sure I could "persuade" whoever it is keeping you here to leave you alone. If its a way to open gates to other planes they want, I know of a few less plesent ones I could send them too," the fox mused. "I always hated people controling others, its almost as bad as slavery in my opinion. What good if freedom if your not really free?"

[Rotzi]

"Actually... it's just a water gem. It allows me to breathe underwater." The photographer smiled. "I just found it under the water, then I went into the portal. Still, it's a link and it's the reason why I'm here." She turned down a street. "Just a few more blocks."

After a pause she glanced back at Diven. "Thanks for the offer, but it's alright as is." She smiled, and it was real. "I've been through worse back home."

[DivenWest]

"If its something as simple as that why do they want it so bad?" he asked. "Those kind of charms are simple to create. Are you sure thats all it does?"

[Rotzi]

"It's politics." Jessi looked out into the distance. "At least these aren't as bad as the ones back home... yet."

"Yet being the key word." Centon nodded. "However, from how you talk, love, it seems as if the council is on it's way to being there." He paused. It was then that he realized he had called her "love."

Her face was red as well. Instead of pulling away, like he expected her to, she leaned up and kissed his cheek innocently. A small smile graced her pale face. "Thanks, hon."

Kiara grinned and nudged Diven. "Aren't they cute, love?"

[DivenWest]

Diven smiled at the pair, then at his mate, "They make a nice couple." He innocently scratched her neck as they walked, "I never much liked politics, too much talk and not enough common sence if you ask me."

[Rotzi]

The lynxess nodded. "True true." She leaned into Diven's touch. "Ne, love..." She looked at him and pecked his cheek. "Love you."

Jessi smiled. "We're here." She looked up at the Winchester. It was a nice old tavern in the middle of the steel city. "Shall we?"

[DivenWest]

Diven kissed Kiara's forhead lightly, holding her for a moment. "Yes, lets," he said, walking toward the tavern.
