Insa sighed as she ditched her heels and ran after Bookwyrm. Of course he can use Allomancy. When she stopped before she got close enough to be noticed easily. She watched what was going on, looking to see if there was any way she could help. The monster thing looked familiar, but she couldn't quite remember what it was. It was something Alcatraz... Her hands started to buzz the same way they had before. Bookwyrm told me to tell him but he's kind of occupied. She flicked her hand and flung an orange spark that was a bit bigger than the last one. I wish I could do that again.

Insa nodded. "I don't know how helpful I'll be, but let's go. They could use your help."

Fiadh rolled her eyes. "You are the random lady. You came up and started getting mad at us for something you don't know all the details about. And here let me give you a senerio. There's this girl about twelve like me. She has lived on the streets for as long as she can remember. All she knows is that if she doesn't steal, she doesn't eat. So that's what she does. And you can tell from looking at her that she has lived on her own on the streets for a long time. She gets caught. How should she be treated by the authorities?" Fiadh glanced at Whist. She didn't look too good. Fiadh turned back to the lady and before the lady said anything started talking again. "Hey, alley lady, while you think that over do think we could move somewhere else?" She gestured to Whist. "She looks like she might have some sort of head injury and it doesn't look like she's doing too good." She gestured to her legs, "And the whole thing about my legs being injured wasn't an entire lie. It was pretty bad. Plus the police looking lady has a head injury too. Maybe we should move inside." Fiadh glanced nervously around. "Its getting dark and cold. The worst "street rats" like to come out at night."

Kiss shopping cart, marry shopping basket, kill shopping bag. Glitter, Sparkle, Flair.

I'm not sleeping on the tables in the commons today so yes! TPBM has accidentally hit themselves in the head over 5 times within an hour.

Destroy it. WWYDIYF a tiny dinosaur in your pocket?

Not today but I have before. TPBM is watching a floor conglomeration form.

Throw it away in case its and bomb. But then watch from a safe distance because if it is a bomb I want to see explode. WWYDIYF an insane turtle in your pocket?

Yup! TPBM wishes they had glowing skeletons on their fingers.

Absolutely! Candy. All the time. TPBM could imagine a wedding where everything is cheese or made of cheese.

I would take them out of the pocket and explore them! WWYDIYF a burning candle in your pocket?

Kiss Death, Marry Life, Kill Nonexistence Germany, Denmark, Sweden

No! Frogs are too cute to steal! TPBM would like a homemade donut.

This woman was not helping Fiadh keep control of her emotions. Fiadh gave up. So what if she was being rude. The lady clearly already thought she was being rude. "Well I think that when you've been living on the streets for four years and before that you pretty much lived on the streets avoiding people you thought were nice but instead decided to hit you and threaten you every chance they got, then a random lady approaching you in an alleyway in the middle of the night is a good reason to be on defense. And I also think that you should be nicer to these ladies because they were just trying to do what they thought was right when they were placed in a crisis and whatever that rush is called kicks in it-" Fiadh's voice went a little quieter, "That rush doesn't end well. You don't always think clearly. Give them a bit of a break. If anyone is to blame for this it's me. I'm the reason they were there when the police looking lady came over. And I don't think that a proper police lady would treat a young lady like her," Fiadh gestured to Nayka, "in as rough a manner as she did."

Fiadh reached... past her boot? Fiadh frowned and tried again. What was going on? Where did her boot go? She locked eyes with the woman in the alleyway and glared. Why did they always do that? Someone always stopped her from getting to her knives. Fiadh sighed. She would just have to wait it out. Or be rude to the lady. That was the preferable option. But it probably wouldn't end well. Fiadh sighed and kept glaring at the women.

@CalanoCorvus you are a really good writer. And the very obvious fact that you care so much for your girlfriend is so sweet!

Fiadh paused. That wasn't what she had expected. She looked up at the woman in the alley and started to reach for her boot where her knives were hidden. Just in case.

Fiadh looked at Whist and Nayka. She really really wanted to pull her knives out and obviously this whole trying to lie thing wasn't working. But what would they think of her?

"Yeah." Insa paused. Something felt... different. She decided to just ignore it for now. "Yeah, yeah okay."

Insa shook her head. "I don't know. My hand felt weird. So I tried to make it not feel weird and then that happened."

"Wait, you saw that?"

Fiadh was confused. Since when could she not walk? And then she realized they were scared of the person. Ooh... Um... What do I do? Even after years of living on the streets she didn't know what to do when a person appeared behind and seemed threatening. Most of the time she just pulled her knives on them but since the others were acting like she couldn't walk that probably wasn't the best idea.

Insa followed. She started thinking about this whole power thing people kept mentioning thing. All she had done was make a box and then Emma had done... something. And then something about power or something like that. What were they talking about? Insa noticed some flowers that were growing along the side of the path. She stopped real quick and picked a couple. She fiddled with the flowers as she kept walking. One of her hands started to tingle a bit like it was falling asleep. She shook her hand trying to get the feeling to go away. A small purple spark flung off her hand, hit the ground and disappeared. Insa stopped walking. The tingling had stopped. What was that?

Insa looked around and turned towards Bookwyrm. "How did you-" She shook her head "Nevermind I'll figure it out later. Yeah let's go."
