Dawn walked into the tavern and ordered a drink, absolutely exhausted.

Lau shrugged. "I'm going to do what I want." Which was of course not turning the girl in, but the girl didn't have to know that.

Felix didn't know why he was so pulled to this girl. Her beautiful brown eyes filled him with so much warmth in this icy village. As he took her hand and brought her inside of the shop, he introduced himself.
"My name's Felix, what's yours?"

Spring wandered along the road, slipping into a pub. She was humming, but immediately stopped when she’s noticed the soldiers. “Uhhh, maybe I should just…”

Lau shrugged. "I'm going to do what I want." Which was of course not turning the girl in, but the girl didn't have to know that.

Sophia panicked, but she didn’t let it show. She pulled a considerable sum of money from her pocket. “How about now?”

(ITS FELIX)

"I don't need your money!" Lau spat. She actually did need the money. "I'll keep your secret. Maybe. If I want to."

Sophia pocketed The wad of bills. “Suit yourself.”

"Are you non-magical or something?" she demanded.

Dawn looked over to see a girl handing another girl a wad of money. The other girl rejected the money. Whatever, Dawn went back to her drink.

Sophia eyes her. “No. I’d be dead if i was. Why do you care?”

"Just wondering," she shrugged, smiling. She'd hoped the girl was non-magical. She wanted to find someone more like her.

“That’s not the safest thing to wonder.”

She shrugged again. "I like to live dangerously."

Sophia gave her a questioning look, but then a group of guards burst through the door. She cursed, ducking behind a table.

"You talking about non-magicals?" Dawn had slid closer to the pair of girls.

Lau scowled at her. "Too loud. I like to live dangerously, but not stupidly."

"What?" Dawn shrugged, "I don't care. Any one who messes with me is playing with fire."

"Good for you," Lau said sarcastically. "Guess you're not non-magical either."

"No," Dawn shook her head, "But I get mistaken for one a lot. That and I don't have papers to show I'm not."

The guards shouted at the tops of their lungs. “Has anyone seen Sophia Xu?”

She made a face. "Okay, whatever." She pulled off her hood, hoping her delicately pointed ears would be enough for her to pretend to be magical.

"Never heard of her!" Dawn shouted at the guards. She assumed it was the other girl hiding behind a table.

"Sophia's an ugly name," Lau pointed out. "I'd never hang out with a Sophia."

Sophia almost melted with relief. She skunk behind the bar and crouched there.

Marya stared at him, wanting to cut his throat, but she had to play the part. Putting on a fake smile, she said, "My name's Marya."
