(Yep, this will be my last post, if you want you can add your own just to wrap things up. It's been a fun experience, thanks Zeph :) )

"Next time..." she echoed, a thin smile on her face. Those words, that promise was enough for Zhu-li, knowing that for now Automne at least considered a future, and that meant she would take care of herself.

"We'll meet again, promise yeah?." she chirped, her tone friendly, but with a hint of reluctance. Something about Automne's whole demeanour seemed twisted and sad. She could only wish that the girl would be safe, and maybe even happy someday.

Hearing footsteps crunch in the sand behind her, and a hand on her shoulder, Zhu-li turned to find Tigris wearing her usual passive look. "I have looked, she isnt here. I made an anonymous call to the police to arrest these smugglers, we should leave before they arrive... explaining ourselves would be difficult."

The thief nodded, allowing Tigris to lead her away, after one last wave in Automne's direction. The pair walked in silence, until they were engulfed by shadows and disappeared.

"I'm worried..." Zhu-li admitted after a while. "Automne seemed really upset about this whole incident."

"Naturally."

"I hope... i managed to talk some sense into her. What about you? Did you talk to Fen and Platinum"

"They want each other dead."

"What?! But... didn't you try to help?"

"It's not our place to do that. Besides, neither one will back down, i cannot make them. I sense this will be long,  bloody rivalry... it will only end when one dies."

Zhu-li was silent. For their sakes, she hoped Tigris was wrong...
