"A safehouse, then," Mallow said with a frown and Mira's mirrored his expression. "We'll take you to the one we just left. It isn't far from C.C's apartment, and she can stay with you if you want. She knows how it works. Otherwise, I'll leave you some instructions on how often you can leave, where to get groceries and things, yada yada," the man explained and Mira immediately shook her head.<br/><br/>"I'd rather stay alone there. No matter how safe it may be, I don't want anyone else to get caught up in this anymore than they have," she replied, avoiding glancing at C.C.'s disappointed form. The man seemed as if he had already decided Mira would stay at his safehouse and moved on to speak to the redhead.<br/><br/>"We need to get Mira to the safehouse," He said with a sigh. "Then start looking for your boyfriend. I don't know where Blu lives, but it shouldn't be too hard to find out. We can check with him next. Only problem is, if he doesn't know anything either, I have no clue where to go from there. Judging by the look in your eye, you must not have many ideas either." Cherry didn't immediately respond, instead trying to think over what to do for once.<br/><br/>In any normal circumstance, Cherry would have bristled at the implication that her and Raz were anything but friends (albeit with benefits)---but this wasn't any normal circumstance. They all knew it or Mallow wouldn't have wasted his time helping. Sure, Mallow did a lot of helping her out, but he never wasted his time with anything.<br/><br/>Mallow gave a sigh and Cherry finally looked directly at him. He was probably drained already. Not only had he gotten roped into helping find out where Raz was, but also he now had to deal with Mira, another situation Cherry may or may not have escalated (though Cherry had a feeling it was more for C.C.'s benefit than hers that Mallow was helping Mira).<br/><br/>"Might have to split up for a moment," Cherry started, turning her eyes back to Mira. It was unnerving how much Mira looked like the La'Feyal woman. "You can take Mira back to the safehouse...Get C.C. or someone to cut her hair. It might not help much but maybe the difference in hair will slow people down in finding her...I'll go back to her apartment to get her stuff," she explained, keeping it to herself that she fully intended to speak to Kai.<br/><br/>Kai wasn't equipped to deal with a full turn, though Cherry noted this was taking quite a long time if it were really a full turning. She wondered what about Mira was slowing the process down. It had been two or three weeks since she had bitten her and the girl was still clinging onto her mortality somehow.<br/><br/>Either way, if Mira was slowing it down, then she had a lot more to her than it appeared. It was best to separate her from Kai's domineering ways. She wasn't sure how she would convince him to let Mira be, or at least let Mira think she was being left alone. Kai was going to cause too many issues for himself, Mira, and anyone who knew them. If Kai didn't see that, then he had lost his mind and it was best to let him know that.<br/><br/>"Mira, what's your address?" Cherry asked, pretending to be unaware. Mira did not need to know how Cherry was involved, or else they'd all be screwed. It seemed like the rest of those who knew about her involvement also found it prudent to be silent (mainly Mallow). If Mira knew, she would likely be uncooperative, whiny, and blame (rightfully) Cherry. But Mira was currently in the dark and as such gave her address, with a small request of certain items and a cat (if it could be found). "I ain't makin' promises, kid. If Kai's there, I'm out and your shit stays," Cherry said as she opened the door.<br/><br/>"Mallow, I'll meet you later at Afterglow...what an apt name, aye?"
