(Tis' fine my feathery friend.)
(cringe Srry, old habits die hard)
Kiyra looked around. She was on the street, well on the side anyways.
"No! Please! She's my daughter! I'll do it. I'll die for her!" The man was on his knees, begging for the life of his daughter. It was nice, to see men beg and cry, sniveling for their existence. She considered letting him go and pursed her lips. But his daughter had been in the resistance.
Honey-Dip grabbed the man's daughter, looking her in the eye. "Hello sweetie," she crooned, licking her lips. "I'm afraid mercy is non-existent in me." She grabbed her whip from her belt. "I want your father to whip you. It'd make it more painful."
Jez looked through again before quickly opening the door, ushering the small group in and shutting it quickly. “We’re you guys running?” She asked.
Evaline raised her eyebrow. "R.O.C.A.L. was on our tails. Do you know where Sebastian(Director of the resistance) is? We need to speak to him."
Dia was wandering around. She had to be careful, her fear allowed nothing else. Her pure white eyes glazed around her surrounds, Did that look realistic? Oh I don't know.
"Miss, don't you think that was a lit-"
Honey-Dip turned, a big smile showing off her perfectly white teeth. "Mr. Lancaster. What was that you were saying about me?" She placed a hand on her whip's handle. "It was quite fun to watch her father whip her, wasn't it?" Honey-Dip's smile turned poison-sweet.
"Y-yes, miss."
“Probably his office or the meeting room,” she said, gesturing vaguely as she glanced through the window. “They didn’t follow you here, right?”
"I'm going to pay a visit to town. Stay here, and expect punishment in the morning." Honey-Dip waved goodbye at the terrified Mr. Lancaster and headed out of the building towards the harbor.
Dia tripped over a walk and fell flat on her face. She tried getting up but ended falling right back down. She groaned, "Owwwww."
Evaline nodded. "Nobody followed us, we made sure. Follow me girls." She said to her nieces, who had been silent during the exchange. Both girls nodded and followed Evaline silently.
Journey searched through her bag, trying to find the last of her rations. She had been living on the streets for a while, so she was very worried when she found her personal belongings stolen.
Jez gave them a little half wave and a tired smile, before continuing her nervous watch.
The salty air hit her in the face as she took a deep breath. It was the perfect weather.
Evaline led the girls to the director of the resistance, Sebastian Burns. The girls were greeted warmly by the director. "Aunt Evaline, are you going to tell us the name of the resistance yet?" Audrey asked. Evaline nodded.
"The name of the resistance is Latibule, which roughly means 'safe place'."

(I spent way longer than I should have trying to figure out a name for the resistance. Then I found that word and loved the meaning so……..yeah. It sounds a little weird I know.)
Dia slowly got off the pavement. She pulled out her cane and continued walking. She wanted to hum so badly, but she was in a public place. She couldn't out herself as a Crystali now. Instead she kept walking until she reached a dead end, unknowingly. She let out a large sigh.
