The magic in Helynah's world allows for enchanters to make glowing items and leave them unattended, so she gawks at the sign no more than the rest of the market's bizarre architecture. She also is much less concerned about hiding than Bronze. With her large, obvious weapon and bright cloak -she has no interest in ditching the cloak- she thinks trying to hide would be too much trouble for her. However, she understands Bronze's sentiment; something very dangerous lives here and it might be stalking them. They should tread with caution.
She should also consider explaining her decision.
"I think it's a market place, although I don't understand what is super about it." She peers through its big glass windows -what a wretched design idea- and sees shelf after shelf of goods, some familiar and useful, some alien to her. "It has supplies we might need. For example, food, in case we're prisoners here. Or extra weapons...or something to make weapons with, in case we encounter whatever killed that beast. I think..." she falls silent when she thinks she sees a person silhouetted in the dim light indoors. She grabs Bronze by the upper arm and drags him out of view of the window.

To think like that is quite impressive, at least in the feline's perspective. To adapt that quick and accept that they might be lingering here for a long, good while, and make plans how to survive. Bronze kept his skepticism within him and tries to keep nonchalant but— everything feels so real. The feline watches the human survey the area, his mind sending him warnings of dangers. This place is too revealed, they can easily be seen by these glass windows. Who uses glass windows for walls!? Ridiculous. And those... stuff on the shelves are far too neatly organized. This is food? Is this a lure? Feels like one.
Caught in the middle of his thoughts, he was grabbed by the arm and was caught off balance when Helynah pulled him. Twisting his tail, he managed to regain his balance and land on his two feet silently. Feeling alarmed, he asked in a whisper. "Why? What is it?"
Seo was bored and walked outside , she noticed 2 strangers. “What yah doing here!”
-
Liliath sighed “I am going to check the store.” Liliath walked back to the store and noticed the strangers to “Hi I am Liliath!”

Liliath sighed “I am going to check the store.” Liliath walked back to the store and noticed the strangers to “Hi I am Liliath!”
"Sorry, someone is-" that very stranger comes out of the market and meets her eyes. In a smooth motion, Helynah releases Bronze, steps forward, and draws her trident so it rests comfortably in her hand.
But instead of attacking, she repeats the palm to chest motion with which she'd earlier greeted the felixian.
"I haven't the faintest idea, if you mean this bizarre city. As for specifics, this felixian and I-" a friendly call cuts short her introduction. She turns to see a small finger running toward them from the gloom. Is that a child?

Liliath wasn’t sure if she should continue walking to the store , she didn’t want to make Lisa upset. Only saying hi would be fine right?
“Hi.” “I am only grabbing my stuff .”
“Hi.” “I am only grabbing my stuff .”

His thoughts are in a flurry of questions that it is almost exhausting. He subconciously rubbed his arm and straightened his posture, awkwardly composing a sentence to say. Funny how he felt anxious about a stranger. An opposite on what the situation always had been. "I see." He stated, resting his paw on his rapier's hilt. His ears twitched at the mention of Felixian, his brows furrowing in puzzlement.
Just as he was supposed to reply, another voice cut in. A small voice that can only belong to a child. His amber eyed widened a bit, more questions forming in his head. What the hell are really going on here? The Felidae blinked as the child stated her business. He ignored Helynah's panicked reply and went to make a reply of his own, forcing his face to be calm and neutral. "You seem to be calm and bored considering the dangers that lurk. Me and her—" he said, pointing two fingers at Helynah and himself. "—are just wandering around in search of proper shelter. Tell me human, is there any place where we can go? An inn perhaps?"

“I already have a shelter .” That was not completely true , but she didn’t want to stay with these strangers “I left some stuff here , I only need to grab it and then I go back.” “There are a lot of empty houses , but there are traps in those houses.”
Traps. Empty houses. Chances are good that they won't find an open inn. The child, although still friendly, suddenly seems wary and eager to leave. She nods. "Thank you for warning us, Liliath." Her eyes never completely meet the little girl's; they dart from the bright sign, to the other human woman, to Bronze, and to their dark and miserable surroundings.
"You haven't been alone, have you?" Her question comes purely from concern. The presense of traps, if truthful, leaves her with a sense that someone or something is actively hunting them. This is not a good place to let a lone child wander. "Are you keeping the company of this woman?" She gestures toward Seo, who seems to have fallen silent upon the appearance of the little girl.

OPTIC's sudden inability to respond was caused by power fluctuation. The same ones that herald a greater danger -- a cascade failure. Deciding to keep this to himself yet, it still had time, OPTIC replied in a curt fashion toward Lisa's comments.
"Superficial healing, done well. Once the procedure is finished, I will take over. Begin repair of possible internal damage. Possibility to save retinas without further damage. Moderate."
It paused briefly. before continuing, " Thank you. Do you optical centers require assistance as well?"

"We are both visually impaired, yes. I should be able to recover over the next couple days, speaking of which I should stop leaving my pupils dialated, even if that's all that's letting me see right now, but if you wish to tend to her in some manner, please explain your plan of action first," Victi cut in. She did not want to risk a possibly glitchy bot doing something crazy like trying to do surgery with probably-broken equipment. She was lucky Ni had gotten to her in time the last time that had happened.
Lisa is almost finished setting the last broken finger when OPTIC snaps a reply, catching her off-guard. She freezes like a startled fawn until she processes what was said. "Oh, no thank you- I mean - I also believe my eyes will recover with a few days of rest." She carefully puts the splint into place. Then she rearranges the compresses on Masato's arms, planning to remove them after another ten or fifteen minutes. "I will be finished helping your wearer very soon, then yes, you may take over." She has no idea how to take care of whatever internal damage he may have. That kind of healing takes better expertise and equipment. I wish I was home, with my cauldron and medicines. And mother, who'd better know what to do than me.

“No she hit me.” She said a little frustrated well pointing to Seo “It’s your own fault brat.” “No i haven’t been alone , I am with Lisa , Raven and Victi.”

So there's more of them? Bronze doesn't know how to feel about that. There may be safety in numbers but too much can attract unwanted visitors. He observed the relationship between the child human and the other one. It is something he doesn't wish to see, and doesn't want to get involved with. The feline feels like there's sonething more about these two.
He kept his muzzle shut for a while, prepared to the worst. If they take supplies here, it is most likely that there might be conflict between the four of them.
Thanks to the simple, clear titles of the various folders she was finding, Victi was able to let her pupils shrink back down to something much less likely to burn out her retina from overexposure. Sure, she had to take a few moments to make out any of the titles, but she could still at least see the large-font words such as "Incident reports" or "Vehicle maintenance expenses," All followed by... probably months and a year.
She ignored some of them, anything interesting about the maintenance would probably get noted in incident reports, but pulled out, say, the incident reports, or interrogation transcripts. She would read them later, once that got easier. Some of the drawers were locked, but they all seemed to use the same key, which she had yoinked off a corpse as part of her "loot the bodies" policy. Honestly, it was surprisingly quiet for the moment. She kept her ears perked up, hoping that she would hear the screaming or panicked calls for help over the continued very, very annoying ringing if anything interesting happened.

Liliath walked in the store , grabbed her backpack and then walked out the store “Bye!” Liliath runned back to her friends “There are 2 new people.”
Her disapproving frown, aimed directly at the unrepentant Seo, could sour milk. Her grip tightens around her weapon, which now rests in both hands. Something about this other girl seems...off.
Remember what we actually came for.
"We came here for supplies ourselves," she says to Liliath, "Perhaps you could tell us more about this city before you leave?"
Then to Seo: "Would you kindly step aside?" She laces her tone with a low growl, only halfway accidentally.

“The city is stupid!” Liliath yelled , as she continued running back.
Seo sighed “And why? , This is my place so go away.”
Victi sighed, and put down the sheaf of folders she had gathered. More people, huh? Should she go scout them? Wait for screaming or yelling?
On the one hand, she'd just finished this drawer, and learning about other... survivors? prey? whatever they all were, was probably a good idea. On the other..... it was night, and she couldn't see. Also, one more drawer left in the cabinet for her to go through.
Screw it, this way would be easiest. "Any reason for me to go scout them?" she asked in Liliath's general direction. Worst case, the girl's judgment would be wrong, and then they'd learn from that. Best case, she ether gets to go make a mess out of people or finish with this cabinet. Sleep and food would be nice.

“No they are ok.” , “I don’t think they wanna hurt us , they have a lot of question about this place.”
"Should I bother going up and trying to explain things to them, since we've kinda figured a bunch of it out?" She asked, unlocking the bottom drawer. Huh... a little stuck.
“Yeah , let’s go together!” “Can I go on your back?”
Victi snorted as she started walking towards... she was about 95% sure it was the door out, "You can walk, girl. Also, practising a strong, confident walk is good. Helps give you presence, and gives people the message that you're not to be messed with. First impressions and all that."
Way to spin not being able to change your legs to handle carrying things better, Victi. It did bug her. Usually she could just change the shape of her legs and be fine. Not right now, though. Stupid no magic...

“Oh ok.” Liliath looked at Vi it’s and tried to copy her walk “I am resllly confident.”
