Noctis smirked at the scene that was unfolding, this was quite enjoyable. "They certainly don't like leaving him alone. How is he anyway? I haven't seen him at the nightclub for a few days." He asked the Contact, while it was vague he wasn't hinting at anything sinister since he did happen to work with Lea at the Veil.

"Can't really say, I haven't been out that way much. Come to think of it, I didn't see him last time I was down there." Shiki frowned and looked at Neku, "You know anything?"

I listen in, worried for our friend, "You don't think..." I didn't finish my sentence in fear that my thoughts of him hurt, or something that's much worse could of happened to our friend, comes true.
Darla on the other hand is transfixed by the sudden change as I side step to stand next to Neku silently, I can see the wonder on her face as we talk with each other. Her journey here must of been a lot lonelier than she lets on.

I shook my head. "Eh, there was a little bit of an incident the other day," I nodded to Noctis, acknowledging him. "Noctis, Lea, and another guy got jumped by some guys who were weird as hell," I put special emphasis on that, "and Lea's still recovering a bit. He's fine, but Tifa wouldn't let him go to work." I rolled my eyes. "Still, we got some good info out of it on the movements of some... 'hostile gangs', so it looks like we'll be able to keep the conflict from spilling over onto the rest of the city after all."
I was relieved by the news, honestly. I don't like having to worry about the human population of Urbadelphia.

Noctis nodded to confirm what Neku said, shifting his weight slightly in memory of the wound that his ankle still bore. "Sounds like Tifa alright." He said with a chuckle before Neku continued. "That's good, hopefully the big guys don't renew their assault." He added, calling Hojo one of the 'Big Guys' was laughable at best in terms of the scientist's stature but in terms of who was controlling this mess the term was certainly fitting for Hojo and Ifrit.

Shiki looked from Neku to Noctis, and tried to keep her expression straight. Inside she was both angry but more worried. Luckily everyone sounded alright. "Glad you guys are okay. I really need to meet Tifa one of these days." Neku's news relieved her, "That's good news, took us long enough to hear some."

"Agreed," I say in reference to Shiki's words and nod, going into formal mode again as I listened. This was obviously a brake through we needed. It gives me hope, one that I can feel ghosting through even my finger tips.
Darla on the other hand just looks nervous and worried as she stands, shifting from foot to foot, unsure as to whether or not she should speak it seems.

I turned towards Darla. "Sorry, we must seem totally weird to you." Not necessarily a bad thing. "Just talking about some projects we're all involved in." I turned back towards the others. "SOrry if it seemed like I was keeping stuff back, I've actually just been really busy." No kidding - I do actually go to school, you know.

"Thanks Shiki. If you come by and Tifa isn't busy then I or Lea will introduce you." He said before waving a hand as if to dismiss Neku's apology. "It's alright, it seems like everyone's been really busy as of late."

"I'll have to do that sometime." Shiki responded. She then nodded, agreeing with Noctis, "It's nothing to apologize for, we understand. Things have been crazy for all of us."

Darla smiles to Neku, "Not at all... Just rather friendly for a short period of time."
I then shake my head at Neku, "Hey, its alright, I won't flip like the last time, Neku." Then I walk over to Darla and smile to her. "Well... This was the last stop... Are we gonna head back or do I get to chat some more?" My voice is light and playful, but in some cruel way mocking. And I know why, because I won our bet and she doesn't even know that the object of our motivations is within ten feet.
Darla looks around and then picks up her bag, "Whatever... You said you would show me that city and that was it, no ifs, and, nor buts. I don't care if you stick around with them, obviously you guys have stuff you need to talk about... But in the mean time I need food." She waves and is about to leave when I grab her wrist and look to the others. "Think I could indulge anyone in a cup of coffee and a muffin or scone?"

"Um, sure, I'm game," I said.
Scone? Who ate scones?
Oh well. Hey, who knows, I might like the fancy things.

"I suppose I could use some coffee." Noctis replied, glad that he had his phone with him just in case and wondered briefly if he should get his sword as well but quickly dismissed the idea. Carrying a sword would likely not go over well with the regular citizens or with Namine's cousin.

What's a scone? That was Shiki's first thought. She remembered a minute later though that they were fancy cookie...things. Well how was she supposed to know? She wasn't very fancy to begin with. But might as well spend sone time with her friends, "Sure."

((little does Noctis know she has one in her duffel bag, along with a small shield, and her lucky Ax~ XD))
I smile and look to Darla whom I could see wanted to come with and then nod to the group, "Follow us~." I then lead us deeper into the Labyrinth until the smell of coffee could be smelt. "Don't worry, no one is gonna jump or anything. Very much neutral territory back here." I learned that the first time I got coffee back here.
Darla follows behind me, she could be seen trying to memorize the route back out. I then lead the group up to a small cafe with an open sign lighting up in the glass door. Its an unnamed place but I can get a black cup with two and a half shots in here, so its great to me~ Plus its cheap.
