Bambi rushes from the door one Annette leaves, grabbing her purse. After checking she has everything, she smooths her suit out. Returning to the door, she smiles weakly at Aubrey.
"I'm sorry, I just have to get on this right away. There's plenty of time before the ball to shop. Hey! I could help you find a good suit too."
She says a bit uncertainly. She hoped Aubrey wasn't offended at Bambi's attitude. Work simply meant everything to the accountant, as fashion did to the android. Maybe the job wouldn't take too long.

"She most certainly did."
Lena states, hooking her arm with Malak's and practically dragging him toward the gates. She flashes her labor card, making a side comment about her loony nephew. They let them pass.
"Perhaps it was fate?"
She shrugs, releasing his arm once they were a good distance from the place. She wondered if he'd have any money to go anywhere, or if he knew where Tuesday was.
"Should I call her and bring you to her, or do you want to go off on your own?"

"Thanks?" Malak said with confusion. He wouldn't argue or question too much. He just took the phone and dialed Tuesday's number. He waited for Tuesday to answer and hoped that she wasn't busy or that she would have the sense to take this unknown call. He waited anxiously as the phone rang. (after she picked up...assuming she would he started to gush whatever came to mind..)
"I'm free...I'm free but you have to help me. I am by some mental health facility. I am with some woman I don't know. You sent her for me? Can you help me?" He asked Tuesday.

Mistress actually laughed, a laugh that contained no spite or hatred toward the human. "Of sorts." She replied as she followed the woman back to the desk.
Handing Mollie the necklace back, she finally took a good look at the store.
"Not a bad store, can't say I've seen a toy store in a good few years." A good few years was putting it short, but no need to alarm Mollie. It was the first time in a while she was thinking of a human be their name.
She shrugged at Mollie's confusion. "Things show up in places, sometimes for their own purposes. Who could know why, aside from the objects themselves?" She laughed once more, softly this time.
She knew Mollie would probably make her pay far less for the necklace than it was worth, which was why Mistress was probably just going to give her half of whatever was in her purse.
It was a kind thing to do, a strange thing that hadn't happened since she was a dragon.

Tuesday groaned when she heard the beep, telling her she'd been getting another call. She abandoned her attempts to get more comfortable, figuring no one was going to let her get any more sleep, which she really didn't need anyway. "I'll call you back, Maeve, I'm getting another call."
She checked the screen, which Eva's number was flashing across. She hit the flash button, and put the phone to her ear. "Hel-" Before she's able to finish her greeting, she hears a voice that definitely doesn't belong to Eva.
"Malak?" She questions. She listens to him a little more, and is sure its him. Eva'd kept her word! Tuesday was over-joyed. "The woman you're with is Eva, I made a deal with her, and she promised to find you, which she did rather quickly." She paused for a moment, a smile spreading across her face. "She's going to help you get out of there."
...Or at least she hopes Eva will.

"I'll see you soon then! I guess I really owe you. How about dinner..." He says, although his life is worth a lot more to him than dinner. He hangs up and jumps up for joy a little. He even hugs Eva. "She says that you will take me to her." He states and hopes that this is actually true. "Thanks for your help!" He says and hugs her even tighter.

"Thanks." Mollie says, looking around her store with pride. "I do my best with it. Really, I'm more interested in music, but..." She trails off, with a shrug.
"I suppose so." She stated, of how the necklace had found its way into her store. It was probably just a mistake in shipping. She was rather curious about it, but decided not to dwell on it.
She rung up the necklace, and told Mistress the amount she was to pay for it. "Do you want me to put it in a bag? Or are you just going to carry it out?"

Lena is shocked by the sudden hug. No one had hugged her in a... very long time. It was strange, whenever someone got close to her it was either a perverted human or an enemy.
Her fingers itched with the natural desire to draw a blade, but she forces them not to move.
"Uhm, you're... No problem. I think we'd get there faster if you aren't latched onto me." She says, her voice faltering for the first time in years. Her outward personality had not been effected by inner emotions for... a long time.
She steps from his embrace and moves toward the nearest teleportation booth. Once they're both inside, she teleports to Helsinki. Recalling the location of Tuesday's apartment, she walks Malak there.

Malak goes along, but can't help but notice her strange reaction to the hug. Granted, he did get a bit carried away. They teleport to Helsinki and walk towards Tuesday's apartment. "Are you a friend of Tuesday's?" He asks as they near the apartment.

"No bag is necessary." Mistress replied, taking the necklace back. She undid the clasp, pulling it up around her neck and re clasping it. The mini black dragon's shape changed to a more relaxed position.
What a beautiful and amazing thing... She opened her purse, pulling a much more larger amount of rads from her bag than what Mollie had asked for. "Please accept this amount, instead."
The statement of music piqued Mistress's curiosity. It was, perhaps, one of the few worth well things humans were good at. "What kind of music?" She questions. The piano and harp were her two favorite instruments.
She tried to convince herself she was simply being fair with the human instead of... nice.

Friend. Lena liked that word, it was better than associate or acquaintance. So, she smiles and nods.
"Yes, I am."
She knocks at the door to Tuesday's apartment. Malak was turning out to be a nice guy just as she had expected. A little touchy, but nice.

Mollie's eyes widen slightly when Mistress hands her a much larger wad of money than she'd expected, she thought about giving it back for a moment, then decided that Mistress, being some sort of jeweler, probably knew much more about the necklace's worth than Mollie did. She smiled. "Thank you."
"I play the piano." She paused then added. "And sing."

After she'd hung up with Malak, Tuesday rolled out of bed and dressed quickly. She'd just finished her hair when she heard a knock on the door.
She runs over to the door, and opens it, beckoning them inside with a grin on her face. Once they're in, she closes the door and throws her arms around Malak's neck, planting a wet one on the side of his face.
"I can't tell you how happy I am to see you!"

Malak laughs and hugs Tuesday tightly. He isn't usually that touchy, but after the torture and aloneness, he is just too happy to be reserved. "I didn't say anything. I was brought to see a psychologist..maybe for more torture, but then Eva came and saved me." He says, turning back to Eva. "I am so glad to be free. But so tired and hungry." He says with a heavy sigh.

Tuesday nodded. "Eva kind of helped me, Alexei and Maeve out to." She said, looking to the woman, she grinned.
"When you were captured this crazy sword wielding man...I think his name was Markus, came after me. I escaped him at Genetech, but then he found me here!" She exclaimed, remembering when Markus had cornered her. She shook her head.
"But we'll talk about all that later. You should get some rest!"
