Kiki had been doing her usual business with Lea, which usually consisted of them trading whatever the other had to offer. This time their trade had been catnip from Kiki, in exchange for gold coins from Lea. Although Kiki had stolen the catnip, she was still happy enough to sell it to Lea. The quicker she had it off her hands the better it was for her disposition. Lea wasn't the sort of person she'd want to cross. Today Lea was wearing a hooded jacket, so from any angle she'd appear like any other person. Kiki had seen Lea's true form and it was something she didn't want to see again. Their dealings was a way for Lea to keep the others from hunting down Kiki.<br/><br/>Kiki was about to leave Lea after thanking her and pocketing the gold coins, when someone barreled into them and sent both her and Lea flying. When Kiki had come to her senses and pulled herself up off the ground was when she realized the stranger was hurt. The yelp of pain which had emanated from the stranger was the first clue. Kiki went to turn to Lea to ask for her help to help the woman, but she was gone. Kiki couldn't understand, why she had headed off so quickly.<br/>"Are you alright?" Kiki asked the stranger who seemed to have difficulty standing, and when she tried and again and fell to the floor, Kiki took this as a very obvious no. She bent down and grabbed the strangers arm, helping her up, if not only just to give her some balance. The stranger looked panicked and almost scared of whatever she'd been running from. Kiki needed to think about this, what if the stranger was trouble, and she was about to get caught up in it. Lea's protection would only cover her so far, if she got herself into any more trouble, she'd be on her own. The thought sent a tingle down her spine, causing the small hairs on her arms to prickle and stand on edge.<br/><br/>Dismissing the thought and bringing her mind back to the here and now she looked at the stranger, who she realized was covered in dirt... that was when Kiki first noticed the gun. Kiki's heart started to speed up a little faster, and she felt the bile rise up and catch in her throat. This stranger must be trouble, no one ever carried guns around if they were innocent. She wanted to let go of the stranger and run away, but Kiki as much as she wanted to, couldn't leave them to struggle. As bravely as she could muster she decided to ask what was coming for the stranger.<br/>"I.. erm, well I just wanted to know... what were you ... erm running from?" Kiki said, stumbling over her words and mentally kicking herself for the stupidity.
