"The building's about to collapse!" He said. "We better get away from here!"

::Lillith actually drops to her knees, breathing heavily::
Don't worry. The fire's out and the fire department's going to be here soon. I think running away might seem a tad suspicious.
::Her stare hardens when it lands on the newcomer in an instant, like she was exhausted and calm one moment, and frenzied and furious the next::
Kind of like you!
::Before he can even read her expression, Lillith kicks his legs out from under him. She's standing over him in a second with her boot on his chest and her witch-knife at his throat. The blade of the dagger has extended already. The boy feels a strange sensation running through his limbs, numbing his movement. This is due to the fact that she's sending a low voltage electrical current from her body and she's channeling it into him through the sole of her booted foot. Her strange cat-like eyes remain locked on him::
You want to keep your nervous system working the way it's supposed to, you'll tell us who you are and why you're following us. This isn't exactly a popular part of town. Even if you had seen the flames from somewhere else, there's no way you could have made it here that fast on foot. And I don't see a vehicle you could have used anywhere.

"The matter of a fact is I'm at your back!" The boy said tapping his finger on Lillith's shoulders.his previous body melted in thin air. "Please no need to attack me! I came here to help and to be helped." He smiled at Lillith.

::Lillith narrows her eyes, but retracts the blade of her weapon places it back in the sheath strapped to her back. She offers her hand for a shake. But when he takes it she sends a sharp kick in between his legs. He falls to his knees holding the tender area she struck::
Sorry, just had to make sure this one was real. We've been through hell today. Not very keen on people sneaking up on me. From where I stand, you're either very cunning, or very stupid. Are you aware that the people you just pulled out of that burning building you charged blindly into are mentally unstable? This in an institute for the criminally insane. ::Takes a look at his clothes::
You're not from around here are you?

"Argh.." He muttered to himself. "I'm from Nibelheim.. Those two people who I rescued weren't mentally disabled. Their perfectly normal! I can guarantee you that!" He smiled and stood up again. "Do you know where Nibelheim is?"

::Lillith clenches her fists. That particular area dredges up unpleasant memories for her. She ignores that question::
So by perfectly normal, you mean that they're subordinates of yours that you smuggled into the building? So you have been watching us? You might want to start from the top so we can get our stories straight. Otherwise I might decide to kill you before the police get here. Trust me, I can make it look like you died in the fire.
::She's bluffing of course. Not that she couldn't do what she said, she's just not that kind of person, mood swings or no. But this boy reminds her a lot of some of the kids his age back at the Garden, and she gets the feeling he doesn't really understand the seriousness of his situation right now::
So I'll ask you again. Who are you?

"Renilius Blacklips! Pleased to meet you!" He said. "Those people were put there by mistake..How do I know? I came in to visit and went out when you guys entered the building. It was east for me to get in there! I'm Delivery man that's why!" He said. He always wore a smile on his face.

::Lillith relaxes a little::
Care to tell us what you were doing here in the first place? Do you know these people?

"Sheesh this lady won't stop babbling!" He thought to himself. "I was stranded here in the first place. I was just on my way to give my final delivery when all of a sudden a cloaked guy just went passed me and everything was changed into this. I never saw the guy again." He said still smiling. "Is that enough?"

Your story has holes in it. A lot of wholes. So were you inside when the fire started? Maybe you saw who did it.
::There's a little more implication in her words than question::

"No I wasn't inside!" He said sarcastically. "I was enjoying a view of flying birds when that large boom frightened me! Then I saw you guys rushing out of the building!"

Flying birds? Nice try. It's nine pm.
::She's not sure what to do with him at this point. But it's pretty clear that he wasn't involved in the same events they were caught in that night::
Stick around. I think the police would like a word with you. In the future I suggest staying away from situations like this. A kid your age doesn't need to worry about this kind of stuff.

"Well I guess Old ladies like you should take care of of old stuff like that." He said obviously mocking Lillith. "I guess the cloaked guy I saw could tell you something since he was the one who brought me to this situation.."

Old lady? I could fry you, little boy.
::She takes in his assessment of how he was brought here::
So did you get a good look at this "cloaked man"? Even get a name?

"Well for one reason he smelled like roses!"He said. "That's all I remember! I guess I should go with you guys I just hope Sina won't kill me if I can't go back to Nibelheim late!"

::Lillith points her finger directly in his face, holding it so close that he actually goes cross-eyed for a moment::
Oh no you don't. This is police business. We're not here on vacation. We don't even know you? What the hell makes you think you can just up and come with us? Are you even sure you want to get involved with us? Do you even know who we are?

He grabs her finger then puts it down. "I guess I'll be leaving then! You don't have to say thanks for me rescuing your friend! I guess your one of those guys who care about themselves and those who are full of pride." He said and started to walk away from Lillith.

::Lillith briefly considers throwing a lightning spell at the back of the boy's head, but keeps her hands firmly at her sides and turns back to the rest of the group::
Something tells me that little brat was never whipped when he was younger.

"Oi old lady! Won't you even go after me and say 'Oh no please come back to us!!!' To me?" Renilius turned around shouting at Lillith.

:Kenny did not like the new persons attitude towards Lillith especially calling her an Old Lady as he felt like he wanted to clench his blade and swipe him with it.: "You better watch what you say!"
