Carlos rubbed his shoulder as he listened to the dragon's speech. "Uh-huh." he murmured with another small nod. He blinked a couple times, looking around curiously as to where he had landed. They seemed to be in a small park-like area, which explained the trees and bushes where that mouse had most likely run off towards. Carlos ran his fingers through his hair and glanced over his shoulder know, towards the streets and buildings.<br/>"This place seems so empty though." Carlos mused. "I know we can't be the only ones...but if we aren't...where are the others?" Carlos asked curiously, as he stood up. "How can I be sure that my sister is even here?" he asked, aloud but more to himself as his hand crept towards the pocket with his wallet. If she even was his sister...A small throb worked it's way into his mind and Carlos growled lightly. It was annoying him that he couldn't remember anything; especially something as important as a sister.<br/><br/>"Traveling the streets might be safer." Carlos agreed. "If anything, I can scout ahead. I'll make a smaller flying target at any rate. If someone is watching us though, I hope it's not that Horseman again. I'd rather not have another run-in with him any time soon." Carlos said, shaking his head. He glanced around curiously then, and seeing lights off in the distance, figured that might be a more populated part of the city. "If there's a harbor, it'll be at one end of a city no?" Carlos said, pointing over to the lights and building not too far off.<br/><br/><br/>-----------<br/><br/>Maria smiled politely at Buyou. "I know how you feel. Can't remember much either." she said with a nod.<br/>"Roxxie said that's normal though. For us to not remember." She said before glancing over her shoulder, as if hearing something. Maria tilted her head curiously. The soft tilt triggered a muscle memory, and Maria suddenly heard many things much more clearly. She held up a hand softly to ask Buyou to be quiet.<br/>"She went upstairs a moment." Maria murmured, though it was more of a whisper. The noises from upstairs stopped. But now, Maria could hear muffled voices, but she couldn't make out what they were saying. A weird feeling in her gut was telling her to go check it out, see if Roxxie was alright.<br/>"I'll be right back." Maria murmured, somewhat distantly as she left the kitchen. Her hurried strides lightened, and Maria found herself back in her small bird form. She flew up the stairs easily. She couldn't see that well, but her hearing was spot on. She heard a threat, but it wasn't Roxxie's voice.<br/><br/>Being small, Maria could keep to the shadows, and she landed on a doorway to keep quiet when she spotted the guy talking, pinning Roxxie down. Was that a knife? Where was Roxxie's gun? Hadn't she come up with one? Spotting it, Maria dived for it, changing forms in the process. She rolled, picking it up and kneeling to face the duo. She was only half surprised to find that she knew exactly how to wield the shot gun, and she coked it back quickly.<br/><br/>"Move slowly off her, and I won't bast your brains out. Comprende?" Maria said, her voice as steady as the gun in her hands. "And keep the knife where I can see it." Maria added, eyeing the blade for a moment before looking back at the creep on top of Roxxie.
