Rejina glanced around the circle. "Well this is just great fun, isn't it?"

Jen shakes his head and holds his hands up defensively. "No, you're right." He says to the girl who had walked in between the mess. "I'll just be going, I rather not. Besides, I came all the way out here for a fresh start, not a fight"

Lea finger gunned at Jen. "Same."

Jen smiles tiredly at Lea, not being able to help but smile at her casualness despite the previous threats. "Alright then, I guess I'll keep my word" He glances at Nick then looks at Aster. "C'mon, time to hit the road again" He waits for Aster to walk ahead before following after her.

"Cool, cool, cool, cool," Lea said, then turned to Nick. "So tell me how this group came to be. You seem to have a lot of outsiders on your hands."

Nick sighs and drops the knife, leaning against the wall, musing over the situation. Should he act rashly, or stay in his lane? After a few moments, he made his descion. Lets hope this doesn’t backfire.

“You need somewhere to stay, right?” he called after the two.

Rejina looked at him like he was insane. "Seriously?" she hissed under her breath.

Lea looked at the ground. "I have officially been ignored. Wow. I'm literally standing over multiple collapsed bodies, in the middle of this strange group, and I'm just been looked right past. If that isn't the story of my life I don't know what it, honestly."

Jen stopped and looked back at the guy. "Yeah, but we're fine. I don't want to bother." He said still holding a bit of resentment towards the male. Aster looked at Jen. She knew that he knew that they needed a place to stay. They had been out in the streets for days. Never settling in a location.

Nick glanced towards Lea, a glare on his face. “Calm down, its not the end of the world.” He then turned to Jen, a blank expression on his face. “17 Blanchard Drive. Quarie’s Apartments. Room 24, floor 2. 10:00 is when I lock the doors.” To be honest, Nick wasn’t sure why he was doing this. Maybe it was the guilt of being especially rude earlier mixed in with the need to do something right in his life for once.

"Calm doownn,, it's not the end of the woorlld," Lea mocked. When he stated his address, her eyes widened. "That's where you live?"

Jen eyed the guy suspiciously. For all he knew this could a trap. He looked down at Aster who had lost a bit of weight during their travel. If it was for him he wouldn't have taken up the offer but since he knew that Aster was a little girl and wouldn't be able to take much longer of this he agreed. "Alright. I'll think about it." Jen was a risk taker and if he needed to kick ass he'd do it. Even with the condition he was in.

Nick was painfully aware of how expensive the apartments were. Something he couldn’t convince his father of was to get him a normal looking one, lord knows he could afford it. “Yeah, it is,” he said to Lea before nodding to the mysterious male in agreement.

Rejina grabbed Nick's arm, partially to help her stand. "Are you sure you know what you're doing?" she asked quietly.

"Hm. Well, what a coincidence I'm meeting you," Lea said to Nick, "When I ran into you earlier I was headed to unpack in my new apartment. I'm your neighbor."

(I got you!)

Slowly, Rejina walked over to where Tick had fallen. She put a hand on the closest wall and, with effort, knelt down beside her. "Uh… Tick?"

Tick's body remained still and silent. Blood trickled down her face from a small cut on her forehead.

(Thanks!)

(Np!)

Rejina tore a piece of cloth off of the hem of her shirt and wiped up the blood. Then, she pressed it to the cut to get it to stop bleeding. "Tick?"

Tick's breathing was becoming heavier and more labored. She still didn't regain consciousness, but moaned softly, in pain, when the cloth was pressed against her one wound amongst many.

Rejina carefully pulled the cloth away. It was soaked with blood, but the bleeding from the cut had subsided. She looked up at Nick. "We're going to need to bring her home too, ya know. Since this is such a party."

Lea's eyes drifted down to Tick. "That's probably not good."

Rejina narrowed her eyes slightly and shifted her gaze to Lea. "You think?"
