Oh, but a while was all too long.
Unlike her siblings, she was the kit whom strayed too far all the time...perhaps that was why Mother Jatai always tried to keep her the closest. Not for a lack of trust, but not so much like fear or being kin of stubbornness either. It was difficult to describe...but facts were, Clowrey was straying again. Would it be more than just 'too far', this time...?
She entered the city in the brightness of day, and it was so much different than the night she first arrived. So busy and loud! How would she ever find Polly and 42 with all these rampant scents running about?! A little bit hesitantly, Clowrey began to maneuver her way through the city though she had no idea where she was even headed...But somehow, someway, she got to the part of the city where it was...quieter.
Dim and desaturated, and almost empty. But she could smell them.
A few creatures, lurking in the shadows...Though now she was here, they were no longer hiding.
"Well now, someone's a little lost..."
"This isn't a place to play, girlie."
"But how about we help you out...?"
Unamused, Clowrey gave a small flick of her tail and simply began to move around them in silence...only for them to block her way. 'There's no point in trying to go around them,' she thought to herself, 'then, I shall have to go through them...' The bunny-fox moved into an attacking crouch, and the three began to laugh--Who would be intimidated by a little bunny girl?
. . .
. . . . .
. . . .
"RUN! FRI--JUST HURRY UP AND RUUUUUUUN!!!"
Wounded physically and emotionally, three Carou went stumbling and running out of the backstreets leaving one smirking Bunny-Fox...

 Unamused and ever so tired, Polly was seated by his desk with paperwork up his throat. If he even did so little as to put down the pen, his assistant would come and glue it stuck to him. Today, his trusty 42 was away, and he was left with one of the others. One which wasn't so easily fooled. Come to think of it, he wasn't even sure just where he'd gone. If the b*****d's enjoying himself with my brother again while I'm stuck here, I'll slit his throat slowly... Still far from learning the valuable lesson of not staying up all night when you've got work in the morning, Polly kept going through those piles. Meanwhile, his beloved assistant was taking some time off between his errands. He had payed Lord Gabriel a quick visit, which always made him feel slightly uneasy, knowing his master's normal response to that. But thankfully enough, he wouldn't return with any unpleasant messages, except for a reminder on the paperwork. But knowing 27, it would already be taken care of. So, as to keep himself out of the danger zone, 42 was taking a little stroll downtown. It was actually quite nice out there in the sunlit hours. It really was. Aslong as I stay away from the nasty corners, I'll be fine, right? But just as the thought had struck his mind, a small group of thugs came running out from just such a corner. As the little scaredycat he undoubtedly were, 42 was more than certain that he was in fact being attacked. "Yikes! P-p-p-please don't h-hurt me!"But they just kept running past him, pushing him aside. Something told him he better follow their example and escape the scene.

Wait, what was that familiar scent? Clowrey sniffed the air tentatively, turning her nose towards the direction from which the thugs had just retreated to...And when she got a good sniff, she had no doubts left. She started to run, bounding with great leaps towards the lone figure left on the scene...And then leapt right at them.
'So it is 42 after all!' Clowrey thought, after having attempted to nearly plow him over. Well, that was one down! she then thought with a smile. She started to hop around the fox in circles, clearly ecstatic to see him again, but just as before never saying a thing. Oh, but where was Polly--Was he also nearby? Clowrey looked around, and saw that there was no trace of the dragon around.'If I were to follow 42, I shall surely see him as well.'

42 was just about to turn his heels and keep going when a familiar figure came at him. No wonder they were running..."Oh! Hello Miss. I-I-I was just on my way back home. How have you been? Good? Yes? Heh..."That strange bunny almost made him as nervous as the boss, for some reason he didn't quite understand. And why couldn't she just stand still like ordinary folks? Just watching her bouncing like that made him feel dizzy. "I suppose you... Don't have time to join me? Or is your m-m-m-m-mother a-around!?"If anyone could be more frightening than Polly, that would be her. He had only gotten through half the pile when 27 went to check on some other workers. This was the perfect moment to do what Polly did best; Escape. So he slithered his way out into the world, nearly forgetting it was still daytime. A cup of coffee and vodka, then I can find a nice corner somewhere and pass out... So he head to his most favourite café, as soon as his eyes adjusted to the awful brightness. This just so happened to be located on a street filled with bars and nasty clubs, thou most of them were closed at this hour. After getting his tinted coffee, he started to realise that his little friend had been gone for a couple more hours than expected. Is the b*****d enjoying himself without me? Unforgivable! I can't rest now! Not before I find him and show him his place...

Her mother? Clowrey shook her head 'no' at his question, and gave him a reassuring smile. Jatai wouldn't have stepped into the city anyhow...Though she suppose that wasn't 'need-to-know' info. She then nudged closer to the skittish 42, just enough to be directly face-to-face with him. Seems the bunny-fox was going to be following 42 now, ready to move whenever he would. She was interested in the rest of the city, to see if it was just as fantastic as the carnival they had gone to that night...or to see what she could alongside 42. She began to paw at his shoulder, telling him he could get moving.

42 sighed. What a relief... And now he wouldn't have to worry about walking alone either. "Wow, y-you're quite eager, a-a-aren't you? Well, let's go then, I-I guess..."He kept going, but every now and then he'd stop to look around the corner of the buildings before he passed them, just in case. Skipping his nap, Apollyon began searching for his assistant. It hadn't even crossed his mind that me may have ran into trouble. No, in Polly's mind, he was obviously guilty of something. At the very least, it was his fault that he'd been stuck with 27 all day. While thinking of all the possible punishments ahead, he crawled up a building to take his search to a birdsview. From the rooftops, he could watch over the city. Not as a protector, but the opposite. And it didn't take him long to find 42 and Clowrey. So I see you've got company... The wide smirk upon his face could only mean one thing. Maybe I should teach you a lesson for playing with friends during hours...Unknowingly, 42 was walking below. He rarely got out before sunset, but the city really did seem a lot less frightening like this. And since Clowrey kept following him, he did feel a bit protected too. Maybe he didn't have to hurry back after all? He could use some time off. He'd already run his chores for the day, and the boss was busy with all the files. Or so he thought... "Would you like to... Grab something to eat? Maybe?"

Clowrey kept close to 42 the nearly the entire time, though she'd, once or twice, rush to stare at a boutique and a statue they'd pass by. Right after, she'd always hurried back to 42, sticking as close ans close could be. She seemed fascinated but most everything she saw, garnering a few looks here and there...not that she seemed to notice, or care. Unaware that they were being watched, she allowed herself to be lead to parts unknown to her--and having fun all the while.
"Would you like to... Grab something to eat? Maybe?"
Clowrey tilted her head at the query, before promptly leaning in to give him the lightest of nips on his cheek...pulling back and nodding. 'I did not think there was a place to hunt around here,' she thought to herself, 'Or is that not what city Carous do? I shall see for myself, then.' She did wonder, however, at what point they would see Polly as well. She looked to the bell she had snatched from him, which was still on her own coat...Wasn't it more fun if there were more of them around?
Ohhh, if she only knew that Apollyon was a lot closer than either of them knew...
'I wonder where 42 is taking me for lunch...'

Eat? Now? What time was it? He should've had plenty of time to lunch already. This simply wasn't acceptable. Polly kept following them from the rooftops, carefully watching over their every move. And thou he wouldn't for the life of him admit it, he was rather jealous that 42 had stolen his friend. Didn't he have his own friends to play with? Probably not, but still. She wasn't his type anyway. Right? He shook his head. Those thoughts were just preposterous!As usual, 42 had a creeping feeling that someone was watching him. This was the sort of sensation that never went away, no matter where he was or what he did. Apollyon had taught him more than once what may happen if you're not on your watch, so there was no wonder as to why he kept feeling this. But out of all the things he was told, the one thing he would never do was to look up. Because everytime he did, it seemed, he'd meet the master's unnerving grin. And because of this, he'd learned to always startle him from above, which wasn't much nicer than any other way. And it didn't help to see Clowrey bounce around behind him like that. She really did seem to be depending on him. And she seemed so very lost in this stale landscape, she suddenly looked a lot less frightening. "Well, here we are then..."He stopped outside an asian take away resturant. Since he hadn't brought any money with him, he figured he may aswell take advantage in Polly's connections. They recognised him there, and he had to promise them over and over that he wasn't there in business. "So... What do you want?"Takei's place? That guy's late with his papers... Maybe I should pay him a little visit aswell? His wide grin was once more decorating his face. It was fun to see how feared 42 was by his clients, even if the guy wouldn't notice it himself. So he sat there on the roof, plotting a most evil plan to teach them all a thing or two.

Clowrey sniffed the air, the delicious and foreign aromas filling up her nose. Something orangey, something sweet, and something spicy...! Needless to say, Clowrey was rather excited to see what sort of foods were inside and instead of replying, headed on inside[not like she was the sort to talk anyhow]. She skidded to a stop once inside though, for hanging right in front of her...were a row of crispy red, ducks. And just behind them, a third of what use to be a large pig, with skin bubbling crisp. Her ears drooped instantly, and she started to back off.
Being part bunny...she was a vegetarian.
Clowrey quickly duck behind 42, pressing close to him and becoming very small...Now, she wasn't off put by meat or blood--She got use to that a LONG time ago. But they were currently chopping a duck up with a large butcher knife and that made her just the TINIEST bit uncomfortable.
