She took his hand, standing slowly. She was still feeling slightly disoriented; her feet were a bit wobbly over her very shaky run earlier. She peered around the room, and she nodded in response. "As far as I know I can," she muttered, taking a few hesitant forward, reassured when she felt a bit of steadiness.<br/>â€œOh, nice to meet you, Karr,â€ she piped up again softly, remembering she had to be polite in these situations. â€œIâ€™m Lillith.â€ She watched as he motioned for her to be silent, as she followed his lead to duck behind one of the few piece of wall standing. Actually, it was more a pile of rubble that served as a rather suitable wall in the situation. She hadnâ€™t looked around earlier, not really. She hadnâ€™t taken time to take in the skeleton buildings that she could now see from her position. There were tall, massive dinosaurs with almost no skin left; a sprawling, dead metropolis. She ducked next him again, her breath catching as she took in the mannerisms of the anxious man next to her. More voices were heard now, louder footsteps coming from nearby streets that she couldnâ€™t pinpoint.<br/>â€œI know she was running this way,â€ said a gruff female voice.<br/>â€œSo we lost her. She hasnâ€™t been here before, itâ€™s unlikely sheâ€™ll know where to go or have reason to be suspicious when she calms down. Weâ€™ll just send out one of the scouts, lure her in.â€ This one was a male, both voices different than the ones earlier.<br/>There was a noise that sounded like a slap, followed by a curse.  â€œYou do know what was stolen from us. The Leader will not be pleased to hear you take this situation so lightly. She may not even be human. I donâ€™t think he is full human anymore either.â€<br/>â€œYou mean-?â€<br/>â€œCyborg life is the future here.â€<br/>Lillith managed to catch her gasp as she felt Karr once again urging her to move. â€œExcuse me,â€ she whispered fiercely, trying not to trip. â€œExplanation please? When I got her, someone said I wasnâ€™t â€˜him.â€™ I know you just heard them saying it again. Excuse me, but are they talking about my Uncle Edison?â€
