"There it is.", Silver said as they turned a corner to see one of the tallest buildings in the city, 30 stories. As they approached the door, two heavily armored security guards recognized Silver on sight, and stepped aside to let the group in. When they finally got inside the elevator, Rowan had to ask about them.

"So, the cops just let private buildings have security with assault rifles on duty 24/7?"

"Cops?!", Silver said unable to hold back his laughter. "Rowan, we don't have cops. That would require giving the Council actual power.  No, all security in the city is privatley operated.  It's actually one of the best ways to make an honest living here."

"Ok, so does how does this work for normal people who can't afford to live in the richer part of town?"

"Usually, a neighborhood will pool together money for a few guards to keep the peace. Seems to work well enough.", Silver said as they arrived at the top floor. The place was furnished with various curios and oddities from around the world, Atlesian tribal reliefs were matched with Faunus artwork from Meanagerie, and in its own weird way, it seemed to fit. It gave the impression that Silver had really been all over the world, and everything here had a purpose.

"Hey Silver, what's with the shark jaws above the fireplace?"

"Oh, that? That's the bastard that took my finger!", he chuckled as he made his way over to the window, that gave a panoramic view of the city. His telescope was fixated on the harbor, and as he gave a cursory glance, something caught his eye.

"Wait a second... Is that... Fuck me, it is! The Hell is she doing back?!"
