Okay this Ace guy was kind of creepy. Prim was oblivious, but not stupid. But it did work, even if not in the way that he probably wanted it to work. First though, she made sure to take a step back. "Uh... I mean... If-If you say so. I'm didn't know that the people her were friends with you, your friends are my friends, I bet they're great, not scary of untrustworthy or scheming or creepy or evil or murderers or... what was I saying? Oh, I bet they're not, since they're your um... 'family,' I wouldn't want to offend you, I bet you have great taste in people, why wouldn't they not be good I mean I can't really think of any other reason than them running a shady casino only found in a twisting maze of buildings and walls that's probably hidden for a reason!" She laughed awkwardly, which was a little longer than it should've been. Trying to draw attention away from that, Prim fake-coughed, bringing her hand up to cover her mouth. It wasn't very convincing. "Okay let's just, let's just... get it over with then. Not that I think it's a bad thing that needs to be rushed through I mean I'm sure it's fun! And... fun... And... I'm going to stop talking now."

Akel was rather amazed. Prim's rant about it being shady and her concerns about little aspects really did make her enjoy having her as a part of the team. "I'm sure it's going to be fun Prim, all of the people in dark colours, probably smoking and glaring at you, probably us three as they have their weapons at the ready to fight back should we try to bust up this little 'gathering' within Vale. I mean sure they could be completely trusting but who knows." The whole time during Akel's little tease at Prim she kept a somewhat sly smile, obviously poking fun at Ptim's insecurities.

However Akel did have her scythe strapped onto her thigh, a good huntress never goes anywhere without her weapon. Something that she thinks every hunter/huntress should keep in mind.

Ace let out a long sigh before switching back to his normal voice. "You know what, never mind-" He did not stop talking while he removed the putty from his nose. "Let it never be said that I dragged someone into a canine arena against their better judgement." He wiped the 'stubble' off his chin and cheeks and continued. "Too bad, I think today is grey hound day." After he removed his contacts and successfully changed back into the Ace they knew, he allowed his shoulders to drop. "Oh well, I suppose we will need to find a more 'legal' source of entertainment. Not quite my area of expertise so I have no suggestions." He internally curses his morality for his surrender, but concedes. He had to remind himself that Prim probably grew up on Saturday morning cartoons instead of dog fights. He just hoped wherever they ended up next would present an opportunity for profit one way or another.

Fallow remained passive. Glad they were leaving and making a mental note that he would come back here and burn the dogfighting pit to the ground. Realising he might have issues getting back he flicked out one of his switchblades and begun sheathing and unsheathing it. Once they left he would leave a mark on every corner so that he had a trail to follow back.

Prim whimpered at Akeldama's words, while also trying to glare at her. And failing miserably, per the usual. She also failed at trying not to look too relieved when Ace finally agreed to not forcing them to go in to what was supposed to be a... canine arena? He also mentioned greyhounds. He meant dog racing right? Yeah, that must be it. Must be. What else? "Well..." she said, slowly coming out from behind Akeldama, "I guess we need a new plan for going out on the town now... Any ideas? Window shopping? Actual shopping? Grocery shopping? Pastry shopping? Something other than shopping? Not that shopping isn't great, it's great, I love shopping, though money, but clothes and cakes and cookies and pastries and food and fruit and everything... Anyway, any more options? Ones that are legal?" She glanced at Ace for a second. "Ones that can help with team building or whatever? Something fun?"

"hmm... Actual shopping sounds fine. There is a new shop in a nearby mall which has brands and fashion which normally are only avalible in Atlas." Akel tried her hardest to shrug off the fact that there was a canine arena. Her normally relaxed hands was in a fist, her knuckles turning white before she relaxed her hands and let out a breath.

"There is also a large arcade in the mall in you guys really despise shopping that much." Akel gave herself a moment looking at her teammates, then herself, then lastly to Prim. She snapped her fingers and pointed to Prim.

"We should get her a long coat. We all have one except for her. How about it, Prim?"

Without saying a word, Ace cursed to every deity he knew about, regardless of his beliefs. Making sure not to show any signs of irritation he regarded his situation. In a fit of nostalgia he had likely ruined his first attempts at genuine friendship. His credibility was gone and any attempts at this point to convince them he was against the arena would be futile. However, the situation did not appear completely dire. His team had yet to shoot the messenger and appeared willing to move on for now. His best option seemed to be simply to shut up for the time being.

As his team conversed on what they should do now, Ace wandered to the side. He came upon a slightly rusted but in tact wire gate. Observing it briefly, he stepped up, picked the lock like it was nothing, and held the gate open to reveal a dark yet quaint side street. He didn't say a word since his team was conversing but was sure the slight screech of the gate was enough to inform them that he had found a short-cut. But then again, would/do they still trust him?

(sorry. didn't realise I was up)

As they strode along he noticed that Ace was offering them a short-cut as he picked a lock. "Where are you taking us this time? possibly best to just go the way we came."

Prim shrugged at Akeldama's question. "I'm fine, really. The cold doesn't really bother me too much, usually just if there's a lot of wind, so I don't need anything not really. Shopping though, yeah, and-and um, there is an arcade. I'm not too good with games, but there's always room for improving!" She smiled tightly, rocking from the tips of her toes to the balls of her feet. Restlessness came easy to Primrose.

"Oh hey!" she exclaimed as she saw Ace open a gate that she'd been sure was locked before. "Look at that, you found a... really dark and shady path. That's not scary at all. Well at least it's quiet. Should we use it though? I mean, it took a while for you to lead us here, so... If it's a shortcut, I wouldn't be too opposed, though hopefully you know the way, you seem to know your way around here, like seriously you were really fast when you led us through the place, really really fast, and not to mention that I almost got lost a few times and god I hate getting lost..." Deep breath. "So uh, what is it? Where does it lead? And just a thing for all of us," here Prim turned to look at the others before returning her gaze to the dark pathway, "where are we going to go next again? Might be good to decide now, right?"

"I think it would be better to decide where to go once we get out of here. Where is it safe and not so dark as a moonless sky." While having faunas eyes did make it easier to see, she still saw in shades so everything mixed together a little more then she would of liked. Especially looking into the alleyway didn't give her any sort of confidence, well her scythe did and she could just use the fire dust but that would be a waste.

"Either way I think us girls should rely on the two manly men of out team. I'm more of an open area combatant and I don't think Prim has any close quarter combat experience. So... i'll be leaving the decisions to you guys." She smiled and took a small step back, letting the guys decide whether they would go back the way they came or through the shortcut, neither was ideal but hopefully Ace and Fallow would keep them safe. If the need arises her semblance would be a last resort but against anything without aura she wanted to avoid to the best of her abilities.

Ace let out a sigh for a plethora of reasons and emotions. "It's the escape route," he said a little too casually. "Things go wrong in there, they run through here. Leads to a service route that loops back to the city, but branches off to other areas in case of chase." Say what you would about crooks and criminals, the successful ones were organized. "As you can tell I'm not well versed in these kinds of outings, so it's your call," he said with a bland chuckle addressing everyone, but considering half the team's indecision, it really fell to Fallow. Ace didn't mind. They all seemed like good people. But he couldn't help but worry. If he had let his nostalgia slip so soon, how long would it be before old instinct and habit kicked in?

As Ace explained what the walkway was for Fallow cracked a smile. Might be worth noting this place after all. I'll need to block it when I burn this whole place to the ground. [/b] With this thought in mind Fallow begun striding down the walkway while still playing with Pip. "It'll get us out faster then. why not?"

Prim let out a small sigh as the plan to take the shortcut was made. "Alrighty then!" she said, trying to seem cheerful. "Follow the dark, not brick, like asphalt or concrete or something, not really a road, but an alleyway..." Another sigh escaped her mouth. "Okay, the ragtag team is just about where the similarities end." Taking her bow off her back, Prim continued, "We should probably get out our weapons by the way, just in case we meet any unsavory characters. Like y'know, the criminals that you," she looked at Ace, "explicitly-yes I know big words too-said use this shortcut."


"Actually..." Prim looked around for a moment before confirming that her plan would work. "I have another idea! And I don't think it's stupid!" Realizing what she said could possibly be taken the wrong way, Prim let out a tiny gasp, covering her mouth with her hand as well. "I didn't mean that taking the shortcut was a bad idea, no no no no no, I meant that my ideas are stupid a lot so... Anyway..." She proceeded to go over to move then climb on top of a trash can, swinging herself onto a low-hanging balcony above. From there, Prim made her way up to the rooftops of the place using her whips and even her bow once. Lucky it was pretty durable. "I'll stay up here!" she called down to her teammates. "I'm better with long-range anyway, and I can kind of... keep lookout! Warn you guys if I see anything and show the way back to the main roads. We're not too too far actually. Alright? Great!"

Satisfied with the approval of... herself... Prim started to make her way alongside the path of the alleyway before pausing to squint at something in the distance. "Hey guys... there's something out there. Kinda close to the main roads. I'm not sure what it is, but... I tried a quick aura scan. I'm not too good with those things, but... I think there are Grimm there. I don't know, again, I haven't had too much training with aura abilities, but... let's just check it out." Not even waiting for any further answers, Prim started running along the rooftops towards the perceived threat.

Cupping her mouth to let her voice reach further, Akel called out to Prim "We're in the city. I highly doubt any grimm would actually be present. Probably just some thugs most likely." But Prim was already running towards it. So much for sticking together. "We should chase after her." Not wanting to lose her teammate, she gave chase, albeit from the ground while looking up occasionally to keep her in sight.

Ace followed after their roof bound teammate at a decent pace. He had no idea what she could have seen but he had a hunch it wasn't good. But that wasn't the immediate problem. The immediate problem was that he had no idea how to navigate the escape route. Firstly, he knew how to get to the gambling ring because the signal specified direction (albeit cryptically). Secondly, the route was meant to be difficult to navigate in order to loose pursuers. That was mostly a problem because if Prim went one direction and the route went another, it would be neigh impossible to meet back up except by sheer chance. With this in mind, he made a suggestion: "We should sync our scrolls and one of us should follow her from up there. If we run into people, let me do the talking before you start swinging." He then sped up slightly to keep pace with Prim on the roofs.
