“Me? A weapon? I don’t ever think I’ve fought a day in my life,” Faye said with a soft laugh. There was a slight crowd beginning to gather, something about a Malchai. She motioned for Lila to follow her and nudged her way to the front of the crowd, as she was shorter and it was difficult to see over some people. When she saw the Malchai who was chained, her breath caught in her throat. “Lila, oh my god, it’s Dax,” she stammered, eyes wide.
“Does anyone here own this Malchai?” The man at the Block called. “If no one does, we can begin the bidding.”
Faye’s hand immediately shot up. “I do,” she called, struggling to keep the stammer from her tone. “It got out last night, and I’m glad you found it.”
“You should be more careful, girl. Maybe keep it on a leash next time. You’re going to need to pay a fine.”
She nodded quickly, and took a few bills from her wallet, handing it to the man, who pocketed it. “That will be more than enough. Get it out of here.”
Dax was unchained, and a few other men with large guns brought him off the Block and to the pair. Faye grabbed him by the arm, making a quick show of scolding him before pulling him away, leading him and Lila into an alley. “Dax, what happened? Did you get caught at the boreder? Are you okay?”
"I got caught at the border," Dax answered, "And I'm fine," he lied.

“Jesus, okay,” Faye said, rubbing at her eyes with her palms. “Maybe we can go stay with Karina and Calixto,” she suggested, a worried glint in her eyes.
“We were really hoping that you made it,” she added, rubbing at the back of her neck.
//if this is a bidding, can we stick tendi up there too

"Me too," Dax sighed sadly.
"You aren't dead so that's something," Lila said.

"Yeah," Dax shrugged.
Lila pulled out a makeshift collar. It looked almost identical to the normal Malachi collars except this one was just for show. She handed it to Dax, "Put this on."

Dax grabbed the makeshift collar and hesitantly put it on. Even if it wasn't real, he hated it.
"I'm sorry," Lila murmured, "We'll get it off of you once we're out of the market place."

(Uh sure)
“Let’s go then,” Faye murmured, brow furrowed. She stepped from the alley, making her way through the crowds. She stayed a few steps ahead of the others, rubbing at the bridge of her nose. Was she really going to get involved with all of this? Maybe if she went home and cleared things up with her her dad, things could be better…
"Not before we get you a weapon," Lila reminded Faye, "Then we can get out of here."

Faye groaned softly and looked over at Lila. “Why do I have to have one, exactly? I think I’m perfectly fine without one,” she said. She could never imagine herself hurting someone.
"It's better to be prepared than regret it the moment you need one," Lila explained, "I'm not asking you to ever use it. Just to keep it on you at all times and know how to use it. This world's a lot different than the one your used to Faye."
pets
Faye gave a short sigh and nodded quickly. She supposed Lila was right. She had been sheltered by her parents from practically everything that could cause harm her whole intire life. God, she was pathetic. “What sort of weapon did you have in mind?”
"Probably either a gun or a knife like me," Lila said, "I'm leaning more towards gun since they are a lot easier to use. However it really is up to you."

“A gun should be fine,” Faye commented. “I think they sell them towards the opposite side of the Square.” She glanced in the direction she had mentioning, arms loosely folding over her stomach.
"Lead the way," Lila moved her arms, "Don't forget to pick up iron bullets."
pets
Faye nodded and began walking again, shifting through the crowds of people. She kept her head tilted down as she walked, taking down her hair to let the thick, blonde strands slightly conceal her facial features. She had to be careful. If her Dad or any of his friends were at the Square, she would be in so much trouble, and she had no idea what would happen to Dax or Lila.
Lila lifted her chin up, one hand on her gun. The other on her silver medallion. She kept an eye on the crowds watching for any sudden movement that could indicate some type of trouble.

The group eventually reached the stand. The man who ran it gave a scowl in Dax’s direction, but smiled at Faye and Lila. She didn’t think she could feel more uncomfortable than she did in that moment. He asked what they were looking for and Faye looked over at Lila with an arched brow. “What do you recommend, you being the professional and all,” she asked with a faint smile, the corners of her lips barely twitched up.
"I would say a handgun or a pistol," Lila suggested, "But like I said your choice in the end."
pets
Faye nodded at Lila and turned back to the man, asking for a handgun. He showed her the various ones they had, and she eventually chose one. She handed the man her card, asking for a few rounds of iron bullets. “Going to have fun with your Malchai tonight, huh sweetheart?” The man asked with a grin. Faye gave a timid laugh and took the gun and bullet packages from him.
"Don't tell anyone," Lila winked at the man. She hated herself for it, "We're not exactly supposed to do it in the house."

Dax stopped himself from growling at the man. His stomach flipped inside out when he remembered his other owners doing things like that to him.

Faye stepped away from the booth and began waking away. She glanced up at Dax, then back ahead, lowering her head again and slouching her shoulders. “Now I understand why the Sunai want to reap us, people are horrific sometimes,” she murmured, more to herself.
