[redlightgreenlight]

Characters: Valdis and Milyn
Date: The night of February 11th
Location: Milyn's Clinic
Situation: Yunxu has subtly implied that Milyn had something to do with Dante's disappearance and Valdis has decided to investigate...
Warnings/Rating: Will update as needed.

Her mind was still spinning, torn between logic and emotion, with neither side giving any ground. She had ditched the dress at the Midnight Hotel and then headed straight toward Milyn's clinic. She didn't care how late it was, nor that roaming the streets as a hound was quite conspicuous. The meeting with Yunxu hadn't gone as she had expected, although she was certain that it had gone exactly as he had expected. She could play the game, force him to show his next card by successfully bluffing.

He knew about the cliffs, knew that she had been responsible for the black mist, there was no other explanation for what had occurred tonight. She could only guess that he had a plan for his future in Keeliai that did not involve Milyn and she was certain that there were spies on her at this very moment. Some might say she was paranoid, but she hadn't survived this long without listening to that bit of paranoia. Her paws carried her to a dark alley across from the clinic and she reached out to touch Milyn's mind with her own, confident that she would hear while their conversation remained secret to anyone watching.

Why does Yunxu whisper of betrayal at your hands, Milyn? She asked, Are you responsible for the coming and going of the foreigners as he has implied? Think and I shall hear, for I am certain we are being watched.

Valdis flinched at the sound of breaking bone, and hesitated in her attack. Then another crack split the air and Valdis turned her head just in time to see the cabinet whose base she had destroyed start to come down. She had plenty of time to move, but it was a perfect excuse to halt her attack, so she ducked her head to protect it as the large cabinet came down on top of her.

Milyn stayed where she was, as she was out of the immediate fall area of the cabinet, though she pulled her bare feet back from the spray of glass that resulted from the jars falling and shattering on the floor.

"Do you think that's good enough?" she whispered. "We don't want anyone to actually catch you here, no?"

Valdis pushed herself up, pieces of the cabinet falling to either side. She winced as her back repaired itself, the dislocated bones popping back into place.. That's enough, She replied, Yunxu will know, but I don't want the common populace after me.

she dipped her head, Sorry about your arm. She said quickly before turning and fleeing from the scene.

"I know," Milyn said, and she didn't intend to tell people what had actually gone on here. After all, the ones they were planning to trick wouldn't be fooled by a mild lie anyway.

She watched Valdis run out the door and into the night, before she got slowly to her feet and towards her clinic room to set her arm. Hopefully their gamble would work.
