"Roe was raised here. I came seven years ago." Tobias glanced at Eclipse. "I've known her for a while. Actually, she had another sister. A twin that I was rather close to for a few months. But she was killed a week after their father's death." Tobias sighed heavily. "He owned a big transport business. Lot of controversy on the whole thing. In short, Roe lost her father's business, and she's thrown herself at every man for the past five years, scrounging for money." Tobias reached for the gun in his pocket, grabbing the muzzle and shoving it between his pants and belt. "She recently seems to have... straightened up. I don't really know how much of it is accurate." Tobias met Eclipse's gaze. "Like I said, there are no morals in this whole damned city. She may think she is doing the right thing, freeing the dragons and all-" he lowered his voice, "but she's lived a rather.. interesting life. And the only reason I notice- is because of how I was raised and where. I still seem to be looking in from the outside. But I'm sure I've fallen into tricks and lies. I'm sure I've become them."Eclipse rolled her eyes and followed Tobias, shooting Roe one last apologetic look. Vel closed the lot door behind them as they started down the twisting halls of the maze, Tobias' boots echoing loudly on the plain, concrete walls and floor. Silence hung thickly in the air between them as they retraced their previous steps back to the lot, Eclipse glancing constantly down at Tobias, waiting for some sharp comment about her freed warping.
"How long have you known Roe?" she said nonchalantly after a while, trying to fill the awkward lack of conversation.
