West City Train Depot

While making sure to stay behind Zayden Emi smiled and clapped before stating her name. "Me is Emi!" She then waited to find out his.

"First of all, you are not to question me" He barks "But I am Lt. Takai I work under the colonel at the Central Military Base" He turns his attention to emi "Yes I have a confidential letter for you" He hands her the letter

The Letter reads
Dear Emi,
This is Kinai. I sent these messages out to all the Resistance members. Resistance members are to report to this adress in Ishval
-Kinai-

(address is the kinai's former house thread)

Funny....I can't recall someone by that title.

But Zayden kept quiet. He didn't think it was a really big deal. At least he wasn't being brought in for failing.....again.

Emi timidly takes the letter and carefully places it in her pocket. She then continues to look around the room.

"Thank you for your time" He start to wlak off

Kotaro walks away from the ticket vendor. He had three hours till his train arrived. “Waitting to go to a place I hate.” Kotaro sat on a nearby bench, waiting for his train to arrive.

Keixth went down from the train from central.

"a new place to explore. . and eventually get lost. . " Leixth sighed.

he looked around to see if he can spot anyone familiar.

Zane patted Keixth's shoulder. "Yo, royalty kid. Fancy meeting you here."

keixth turned to look at who called. . him

then he remembered the nickname. . it was zane.

"Oh hi there zane and what made you go here in the west area?"

"You, of course," he smirked. "I have connections in this area. I make huge profits here."

He grabbed the kid and walked to a stall. "Come on, I'm hungry."

"err. . soo. . . what about me?" keixth asked. . catching the mischievousness in zane's voice.
"oh sure you do zan" keixth stated.

"so where are we eating exactly?"

"You'll see," was all Zane said and brought Keixth to a takoyaki stall.
He held the kid firmly by the wrist and showed him to the seller.

"Right, so this kid," he started, addressing the seller. "Is the one I'm gonna auction." The seller was actually one of his many connections, especially underground activity. "Ah, and two servings of takoyaki, thanks."

Did i heard the word auction. . .

"WHAT THE HELL MAN!?!?. . . you're auctioning me off. . " Kiexth shouted. . .

Zane gripped Keixth's wrist. "Yes," he smiled at the kid, clearly amused at his reaction. "But let's eat first." And he handed Keixth a serving of takoyaki.

"actually if this would be my last snack before you auction me off, then no thanks" Keixth grumbled.

"Don't act like that," he ate a takoyaki and waited for the seller to leave the stall to give the news to the auctioneers. "I did say I'll be making money off of you, yeah? So go and eat up."

He took another bite. "Besides, I'll be auctioning you but if you really don't want to, just go with it till I get the money. I'll even rescue you if you want."

" I'm not really happy when someone tells me i'm being auctioned off you know" keixth said gritting his teeth.

"even if you rescue me. . . i really dont care i could handle things on my own. . I can even walk out from here" keixth said standing up and ready to leave

"Oh?" Zane smirked. "You really sure you won't cooperate?"

"what do you mean oh?" Keixth said. . "pfft. . I'm leaving. . "

When Keixth turned his back to him, Zane smirked. Bad, bad move, royalty kid.

He moved quickly and hit the back of Keixth's nape and dragged him inside the stall. "Okay, got him," he said to the seller. "Let's get this kid ready for the auction."

[exit keixth and zane]

Kotaro looked at his watch. Still another 2 hours. I need something to do. Kotaro stepped away from the bench and took out Godai. Using his alchemy, he transmuted it into a flute. What to play? Kotaro thought for a moment before deciding to play an old song used by his mother to tell him it will be all right. He put his lips on the flute, and began to play.

Kotaro stopped playing as his train pulled up. "Finally." Kotaro put his flute away and walked into the train.
