((I can definitely imagine the two as business partners/work-mates of some sorts. It'll be interesting since StarStripes has dubious morals while Pythia is very focused on justice.))

Pythia stood up immediately. "In that case, I have some important things to attend to." Leaving the room, she made sure the others were out of earshot, before opening her mouth to speak.

"They're idiots," she said. "All of them in the room. They're people born into money and power, and all they do in the building is to maintain that power. I thought politics was supposed to change this place, make it more equal, but they're just focused on keeping everyone apart. No wonder why this awful city is so full of villains."

Pythia stopped with a frown, catching herself from going into another one of her rambles. "But enough about my irritating colleagues. What was so important that you had to hijack a meeting? Is it one of those underground cults? A gang? A villain – maybe Backbeat?"

Radiant bit her lower lip. She hated being stuck in dangerous situations. Luckily, it looked like she was out of the way of any harm. She glanced at her feet, and noticed... a fox, curling around them?

"What," she said, leaning down.

"Hi Radiant," said the fox.

If Radiant hadn't been in a creepy alleyway, she would have screamed. Instead, she just blinked, and looked at the fox. "What?"

"Hi Radiant," repeated the fox. "This is Rennard, your brother. Glad to finally find you. Now, let's get out of this place and back home! You think you can get us a lift home because you're wearing a nice jacket and I'm kinda covered in trash right now and walking would be a total pain?"

"I could call the police, I suppose," Radiant murmured.

She quickly pulled out her phone. "Police?" she said. "It's the Charming's daughter.– No, not that Charming.– Not that one either.– Yep, that's me. Listen, I'm kinda in one of the creepy alleyways? Could you quickly pick me up? I mean, I guess it's alright if you don't, but if anything happens to me, you realise the Charming Corporation is going to blame you right? Right. Thanks."

Pulling the fox closer to her, she whispered. "I don't know what happened, Rennard, but you're going to be alright soon."
