Get back here!"</b><br/><br/><b>"Think you can get away this time, pretty?"</b><br/><br/>The voices were rough and scruffy, obviously the signs of never-do-wells and thieves. However, the girl in white and blue didn't bother to look back at them as they took chase after her. Already a single night in the city and she found herself getting into trouble already, or at least visiting a problem that had been preexisting from before. It was now just resurfaced. The city streets were getting crowded, so Genesis took it to the narrow alleyways where only a small line of people could follow her at a time. Though she was small, Genesis was no slowpoke in her pace as she ran with haste and grace.<br/><br/><b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:crimson">"You know mistress, perhaps you should turn to fight them! You can take them on here."</span></b>Doma noted, as he rested easily on her propped arm. Since he didn't need to run, he served as a observant eye, though he was merely stating something plainly obvious.<br/><br/><b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:orchid">"I don't need to fight his goons, if he wants it, he can do so himself!"</span></b>Genesis said to him, going into a skid as she turned a corner, ending the alleyway and onto one of the many side streets. While she may not have the knowledge that her unknown companions had, she had something else. Some would call it wisdom, others perhaps experience, but Genesis would rather call it 'street-smarts'. Life in the circus didn't make it so she had to study or read, but instead through practice and actual understanding. She knew the city's layout pretty well, as she weaved through ways and passages that would even surprise the locals.<br/><br/>Genesis took a left turn along the stone wall of the city, which then lead to the back of the horse-keepers. The stable boys looked up in wonder as the strangely dressed girl dashed toward the side of the stables, but even more shocked to see a group of five men come at her dressed in dirty clothing. Nothing but a bunch of bandits and scalawags. Genesis continued to run, turning the corner as she looked behind her.<b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:orchid">"Alright, now I jus--- Ah!"</span></b>Genesis yelped as she collided right into a man dressed in black clothing. She slipped her footing as surprise caused her to stumble forward. Reflex made her catch her balance easily though, so she prevented herself from falling down when others would simply drop. The girl looked looked back, seeing that there were two men, though she lose interest in them immediatly as a voice called for her undivided attention.<br/><br/><b>"There's the brat! You're in it now, girly!"</b>One of the thieves stated. He had a patch over his eye, and wore something like a ragged outfit for a pirate. He hand a small dagger in his hand, twirling it in his fingers skillfully.<br/><br/>Another that followed was a big man both in muscle and girth as his bald head seemed to reflect light like a mirror.<b>"Yes Genny. Mr. Spoon has a very big thing for you. You're coming with us!"</b><br/><br/>Genesis pointed at them defiantly. The look on her face was hard and determined as she let out a single laugh,<b><span class="fixed-color" style="color:orchid">"Ha! As if there was anything big about Spoon or his posse. You think I'd come here without back-up!? You're as stupid as you are ugly!"</span></b>Genesis referred to the two men that stood outside the stables. Immediately using them without a whit of concern if they could fight or not. Though, call it a piece of her intuition, but Genesis had faith that these two weren't incompetent at the least in their abilities. After all, if they were locals, they would know how to fight, and if they were wanderers, then they would obviously have some ability to take care of themselves.<br/><br/>The other three men arrived, witnessing her claim, they drew out their weapons. They brandished their tools at Genesis and her new-found 'allies'. It was too late for the men to back out now, since their eyes could only see that they were enemies, as all five of them came upon them with their weapons armed.<br/><br/><div style="text-align: right"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffffff"><b>[</b></span> <span class="fixed-color" style="color:orchid">Come on!
