Code:
"Oh, right. Victoria. Nice to meet ya."[hr]
Code:
"Oh don't pout about it."
Code:
"I'm just gonna go scope it out so there's as little a chance of 'too late' as possible, alright? Nothing crazy."Victoria took the most direct path towards the light, meaning she went about running up the side of buildings and on rooftops, so the sound of the engine humming distinctly above her caught her interest. When she looked up and didn't see anything where she determined the sound to be coming from, and heard the sound moving towards where the space-crafts were parked, the humming had her full attention. She decided that whatever was heading towards the ships was of greater concern at the moment, and followed after it, focusing her ears on the sound to follow it as best she could.
Previously:
Yeul bowed her head as Victoria stated her name.
Caius gave a small "Hmm" in response, then was quiet for a moment. "Back to the topic of different worlds, you are one of the few I have not questioned about that yet." He began after this pause. "How did you arive here, and how long ago was this?"
[hr]
Presently:
"Silence" was unaware they were being followed, at first, until a voice rang out from a speaker to the right of the helm.
"We are being tailed," the voice announced.
"Silence" steered to move their bike sideways, then looked to Victoria, amused by the choice of words as their gaze fell upon her tail. Turning to face the direction they were facing initially, "Silence" continued on. Briefly, the humming increased in volume as they sped up.
Turning a sharp right, "Silence" crossed a street, then slowed down again to reduce the noice output. Looking for a place to land, they moved towards a store on the corner of the street, and landed on the roof. Then, they turned off the engine, rendering the bike silent, as well as invissible.
[hr]
Caius let out a Hmm when the faceless person stated there wasn't a way for him to contact the knights. He was silent for a moment as he thought things over. "If there is no way for one to contact those asking for the information, why did they bother to put up this warrent, in the first place?" He asked. "Unless you are to serve as an intermediate?"

Victoria hummed to herself a bit as she thought over Caius' question.
Code:
"Well, what I remember is that a few weeks ago I was using the city terminal to try and go... somewhere? I can't remember and it's probably not important. But anyway, instead of there, I wound up here. That's about it."Vicky continued following the sound of Silence, keeping up with it until it slowed down and quieted. With the engine humming growing quiet, it was drowned out by the cars driving on the nearby street. Though she could no longer pinpoint the sound, Vicky began carefully observing her surroundings for any sign she could use to possibly find what she was chasing after.
Previously:
"City terminal?" Caius question. "I am unsure what this is."
[hr]
Presently:
From inside their jet bike, "Silence" glanced across the street, looking where Victoria stood. They double-checked to see if their own cloaking was still running, and opened the dome of their bike once the found this was the case. The opening of the dome made some noise, but was quiet, and unlikely to be heard over the noise of the trafic.
Once on foot, "Silence" moved to the side of the roof that was opposite the street that seperated Victoria and themselves, and looked down for the pedestrians moving below. Once the sidewalk began to clear up, "Silence" lowered themselves from the edge of the roof, and dropped down.
After "Silence" exited the jet bike, the dome closed up again, on its own.
Victoria may notice some dead leaves that had fallen onto the roof making being displaced by a miniscule amount as "Silence" moved over the roof.

Code:
"Really? I mean this place I understand with how backwards it is. But, whatever."
Code:
"Well my home city is pretty big, so instead of making people walk everywhere, the city installed these little devices you can use to go almost anywhere you want in the city."Victoria wasn't an insane stickler for detail, so she didn't notice the slight movement of leaves on the rooftop across the street from where she was standing. She still kept vigilant and kept an eye and ear out to see if she could pick back up on what she was looking for.
Samus waved to the sisters as they approached. "Hello. I have not seen them, but Caius mentioned going to a bounty shop."
Previously:
"Hmm... I see. Then, that makes you the second person here who arived here via some doorway." Caius commented, mostly speaking to himself. He glanced down to the ground, momentarily, then looked back up to Victoria. "Did you find anything you may had on your person was missing once you came to this world?"
[hr]
Presently:
Caius gave a smaller nod in turn to the faceless person, and picked up the bounty poster, rolling it up. "Come, Yeul." He called out, moving to the exit of the store, and leaving. Yeul followed after him.
"What do you intend to do?" Yeul asked as she walked alongside Caius, heading back towards the ships.
"See what the more rational-minded amongst us make of this. That is all there is to do until we can meet thse knights."
[hr]
Pressing their back against a wall to minimize the chance of a pedestrian running into them, "Silence" opened a channel to the systems that warned them about Victoria following them, and requested that it provided a distraction.
"Understood," the system answered. Starting the engines, the jet bike levitated up to about twelve meters, then began flying back to where Victoria stood at a speed where she would likely be able to keep up with it on foot. And going at the speed they did, the humming would be audible again on its approach.
"They must have gone into town, though I don't know where. They probably went to the usual bounty store."
