Tigris' eyes narrowed a little, watching Platinum leave the scene. Behind her usual deadpan expression however, there was a tinge of worry in her eye. She sensed the weight behind Platinum's parting promise, and the resolve in her voice. In that instant, Tigris recognized her for the threat she was.

Stubborn, determined, she was certain someday the girl would make a great warrior. This was a trait she could both respect, and fear. I t was unfortunate that she chose to dedicate herself to the law, that made her an enemy.

"Very well, on behalf of my organization i apologize," Tigris bowed to Fen "and i hope our relationship continues to be fruitful." Then on a more casual tone "Yes... i'll keep that in mind. If we ever meet again i will be honoured to fight by your side."

Tigris glanced at Platinum's direction, made sure she was out of earshot before adding. "Your friend is dangerous, you would do well to keep an eye on her."

"As an enemy, she is serious about wanting to destroy you. it will be wise to observe her actions, in case she ever comes, you will be prepared to retaliate."

"As a friend, you must know at this rate, she will be a great police officer. But her stubborness will make many enemies. Look after her, you have the means and influence in the underworld to keep her safe covertly ."

She tensed up a little when Automne grabbed her arm, almost expecting Automne to hit her. But she didn't have the heart to pull away, seeing her like this.

Zhu-li noted Automne's manner, no longer aggressive, the abandoned knife showed that much. Now, she just looked hurt and confused. She could almost sense the conflicting emotions behind her expression, it was strange and sad at the same time.

Then came the hug, which caught her completely off guard. Zhu-li gasped, stiffening up again in her arms, unsure what to say or do.

But she recognized the haunted look in the fox's eyes. She saw the same look everyday in the mirror. A broken soul, one that had seen the worst of humanity and survived, not unscathed, but twisted and pained. She didn't know what she could have possible faced to be like this, but Zhu-li could understand her emotion.

Slowly, she wrapped her own arms around Automne, pulling her into a warm hold. One hand rubbed her back gently, in a soothing manner. The other cupped the back of her head, and buried her tear streaked face in her shoulder.

She remained silent, there was no need for comments. She allowed her to cry, accepted her pain without a word, and that was enough.
