Skuzz won't come for you for another week, he'll keep his word, but once he does you won't be safe here. But there is a place where I can take you, a place that is used to taking care of newly escaped young changelings, such as yourself. It is as safe as it'll get in this crazy world of ours. What say you?"<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Lily felt a shiver creeping up her spine and a shadow falling over the kitchen at the mention of Skuzz.  A week, then, before he... She didn't even want to think about it, about what would happen after that.  Instead, she latched onto his promise of somewhere safe...<br/><br/>"Where?  I mean, is it close by?  I've never been out of the city in my life before, I don't have anything except..."  She made a motion encompassing the clothes on her back and then shrugged, pouring herself a cup of the nasty smelling brew as well, sniffing it and then taking a sip.  Her nose curled up and her face wrinkled as she hasitly poured it into the sink.  Why anyone would want to drink the awful stuff was beyond her.<br/><br/>"Do I really have a choice?" she asked, her voice small.
