"GET HIM!" Yelled the guard who was headbutted. The other's jumped down to get the boy and they were glad to find him unconcious. They picked him up and started to take him to the palace. From another alley Lanen watched. She looked scared and worried. 'I have to save him.' She told herself as she started to follow the guards and Darren's unconcious body.
((To Palace))

~From Palace~
"Completely devoid of kindness, I am not. Come we will, to this location by the moon's end at sunset." Two crude chits, with the plain letters DM on them, along with a rough circle surrounding the letters, were placed into Lanen's palm. The Desert Moon. A fairly middle-class collection of a hotel and apartments combined into one, it was well known by tourists and even the residents of Polcrity for its good lodgings and food for such a low price. "Children you have, I suspect. Last for six moons, will these." The chit was a simple and effective way in Polcrity of declaring residency - If the landlord kicked you out, then you'd have something to show the court. Likewise, you couldn't get free lodging when your time was up without another chit. Turning his heel, Anyan gave a last, final glare at the girl. "Go along, now. See each other, we will, at moon's end."

Lanen took the chits and looked at them and then the man. "How did you know about the kids?" She asked him as she held the chits close and looked at the man. Would this be enough for all the kids to sleep in decent beds? They would still have their hideout, of course, but beds to sleep in would be amazing. She barely understood the man and hoped she knew what he meant by moons end at sunset. Isn't that when the moon starts?

She was confused. That the FireWalker could tell, from her puzzled face. Stopping to an abrupt, military halt, he wheeled around. "If there is one of you, more of you there are. Ensure, those coins will, the finest two rooms." Everyone knew that the finest rooms at the Desert Moon meant two master beds apiece, each enough to fit three adults or at least six small, or at least, underfed, children comfortably. It would be cramped, but there were also upsides - Unlike other hotels, the Desert Moon provided free snacks, and refilled the small mini-fridges daily with high-calorie junk food and energy drinks. Do some math, and it was free lodging for twenty-four children. There was even more room on the floors, which were carpeted with fluffy, almost shag-like strands; much more comfortable than sleeping on itchy, smelly sacking.
By moons, Anyan meant, literally, months. On the island of Desci there were few resources for technology to emerge from; so its natives, who both feared and worshipped the volcano as a source of death and life, told their times by the movements of the sun and their own animalistic instincts. The moons told more long-term time - The moon waxed and waned in a never-ending cycle, always full every month and empty in the same. He'd never really broken the habit of saying moons instead of months, and old habits died hard. "Last six moons, or months, if you will, each. Suggest I that you save one for later use. Bid you good day, once more, I do." And with a flick of a cape and a smart, perfectly-in-line march, the guards were gone.
[Wanna skip to the month's end or do the adorable little street kiddies want to try out the new room? x3]

Meris was sitting back with the others still in bed, waiting for Lanen to come back. He was chewing on a piece of jerky Darren had left him. How the cat ate this stuff was beyond him, but it was nice to knaw on. The ten year old raccoon demon pulled his tail away from a little girl who was trying to hug it and use it for a pillow.
"Darn it Lanen. It was yer turn to babysit, you damned irresponcibe ditz." He cursed foully. The raccon was suppose to be out picking pockets with the other older kids.

((Looks like they wanna test the rooms.))
Lanen finished up with Anyan and still in the gard she was put in as a part of the Princes harem she made her way back to the secret hideout. Making sure that she was not being followed she slipped into the place minutes later. "Meris." She said as she moved over to him. Suddenly she remembered what she was supposed to do and knew that Meris was most likely made at her.

"Where in the hell have you been you stupid girl?" Meris demanded a in harsh whisper, getting up and moving away from the others. "It's almost dawn and you've been gone all night. You idiot flirt. Don't even tell me you went after Darren you love sick cow." The coon was quite the potty mouth when he was angry, and right now he was furious with his hands on his hips as he scolded her.

"I am love sick for no one. Darren is an old friend of mine, he saved my life and I thought to return the favor." she said in an unusually calm voice as she looked at the racoon demon. "I don't care if no one else here gives a rat's arse about Darren anymore because he is older but I do. He was like a brother to me and he always will be."

At that the raccoon slapped her across the face, "Don't you ever say that again." He glared furiously at her. "Don't talk like your the only one who cares about him! He was a big brother to all of us not just you you STUPID b***h!!" By now he was getting loud, unable to control the tone of his voice. "Your the one who got him in trouble in the first place! If he hadn't saved you sorry a** we would have had a couple more months with him! If you really cared you wouldn't have done what you were suppose to and abided by the rules he set for us!" He spat angrily at her feet as his hair bristled.

She ignored the stinging in her cheeks as she looked at Meris. She contained her anger at him, kept her own hands at her sides as she looked at him. "Keep your voice down." She told him before she turned around and started to leave the hideout. She did not have to deal with that boys crap.

"I was trying to save Darren if you must know and was forced to serve as the bloody Prince's harem. Here's your damn money." She said as she slammed it in his hand along with the chits, her anger finally showing. "And there is your damned breakfast." She said, meaning the chits that would give them lodging and food. With that she slammed her hand back so that her hair would be let loose and she could leave them.

((Gurantee to property pretty much. It gurantees the kids two rooms at the Desert moon with enough space for about 30 people.))
She could take no more of his vocal beratings and kept walking, ignoring him. Why did he even care what she did after all the things he said. She looked down at the clothes she wore and tore off the bracelets on her hands, tossing them to the ground. She would have torn off the rest but that would have left her naked.

"STUPID COW! WHAT HAPPENED TO DARREN!! AND WHAT IN THE HELL DID YOU DO TO GET THESES?" He demaned throwing the chits at her and leaving them on the ground. "THOSE DON"T JUST FALL OUTTA THE SKY. AND IF I HAVE TO BEAT IT OUTTA YA I WILL! RULES OR NO RULES!!" The little coon didn't care if she was bigger than him or wasn't a bloody mood to talk. He was going to get it out of her if he had to yank it outta her by the roots.
