Nodding her head quickly, making sure not to forget which entrance was for which gender. "Thanks." She smiled before disappearing into the women's change room. She snatched a towel as she strode past the shelves housing them, then proceeded to the main changing room. There were separate shelves for everyone, but that seemed to be about it. Finding an unoccupied shelf, she quickly unbuckled her belt and gentle placed it in the shelf, with quiver attached. Next were her ankle bracers, which were the most annoying. Withdrawing a metal pin from a pouch in the side of her quiver, she inserted it into a small hole at the back of each bracer. With each, there was a clinking of metal, then they back cracked open, allowing her to slide her legs out. She stowed them both away on the shelf as well. That was all the real clothing she had, other than what she wore under her dress to cover her up, which she had also stowed away in the shelf. (I hope you get that, cause I don't exactly want to write it out). Her feathered dress was all real feathers, still attached to herself. It had taken her years to groom them into the perfect placement. Wrapping the towel around herself, she proceeded to the bath houses; the towel didn't do much, as her poofy feathered dress made it flare out so much at the bottom that it was only really covering her midsection.
It didn't take her long at all before she quickly slipped into the water, feeling fairly vulnerable at the moment without her weapons. Though it was very soothing, relaxing her tired muscles and cleaning her feathers. She shuddered her feathers every so often, sending water droplets every way, annoying a few of her neighbours. This had to be the best part of her journey yet, relaxing and no fear of the Empire! It was pure bliss. Smiling to herself, she began to wash each and every feather, making sure that all dirt was gone.
((Are you bringing someone else in to chat with Cor while she's in here, or should she go out and chat with Bry some more now? ))

(I'll bring someone in.)
One of the woman although it was dead silent in the bath room it was kinda eery that way so she thought she would make conversation. Even the older tengu's never really washed inside it was rare to not know a tengu here and rarer for a new one to be able to stand the inside for evry long. "Are you new? I haven't seen you around here."
When Mia and Nya got to the entrance the two guards were arguing. "She could have gone to a diffrent exit! That tengu would never let any of us win money." "Or... she could have made it I thought she looked like she had a strong will thus you owe me." He held out his hand. "We don't know for sure the other one shot back."
Mia cleared her throat they nodded her throguh but Mia was intrested. "Betting on tengu's?" They nodded,"I'm sure I can tell you if she made it or not I'm headed in to see her myself." They nodded and Mia and Nya went through. Once there a small ball of light jumped around Mia and made her hair stand out with the static. She smiled at it as it chimed proudly. It had been waiting for her. Maybe she would give Coranna one as well they were great to have around.
Nya batted at it some and it chimed around ehr as well more like a scolding chime thoguh and it zapped her a little. Nya held back her hand and frowned,"Its mean I don't like it."

"Hm?' Coranna looked up from grooming one of her feathers, completely taken by surprise that someone was talking to her willingly. "Oh, yeah, I'm new here." She stopped talking there, but the eerie silence soon crept back up again. The closed in wall and silence overwhelmed her. She quickly found herself doing something she'd probably never do - continuing the conversation, "How long have you been her for?" She questioned, making it sound as unimportant as she possibly could.

"I was born here." She smiled she was a younger woman but it showed how long they had been recruiting others for thier cause if she had been born in such a place. "Glad to have you here. Not many Tengu stay around inside." The lady finsihed up and grabbed her towel. "Who brought you here?" A small light bubble jumped up near her and seemed excited for her to be close to it. She chuckled and made it go up higher not to annoy others.

"Bry." Coranna commented, as if it was a side note, then dived back to the previous topic. "So you were born here? How old is this rebel group anyways?" Now she was intrigued, if they were as old as they seemed, then they'd defiantly get a great shock out of the information she held. Then again, anyone would.

She smiled,"Good person rough on the edges though. But yes this rebellion is quite old. We needed time to gain numbers but I think we are reaching full potential now and we have a dragon teaching our magic users things like these balls of light. They are actually and experiment gone wrong then right. The attach themselves to the first person they see. Like a bound. Some are free range though once the person dies. They lead anyone who needs help." She smiled,"I ramble sorry. The rebellion is quite an underground thing I'm glad you found us and decided to join. We need more tengu that are open with people your the best yet."

Coranna turned her head away at her last statement, "I'm open?" She smirked, but it was only because she found it very ironic. "I've had more practise than most, I guess." She had been told all she needed about the rebels now. A dragon? Messing with the spellcasters would be the wrong idea then, if they learnt magic from such a master. She decided to pursue a different topic, "Bry's rough around the edges? What makes you say that?" She didn't find any hint of it when she talked with him.

"He is very.... well you might not notice but he is very rude to people sometimes and very snappy and impatient but lots are like that I suppose. But he is only like that to humans and kitsunes mostly." The woman smiled,"You seem just fine though maybe you could help him warm up better see the good side of everyone you know/ I think he only see's the bad and thats what his problem is."

"Hm." Was all she said in response. She wasn't much better than him, the only difference was that she wasn't upfront about it and knew being rude would only cause her more trouble, which is one of the things she did not need. She still disliked humans as much as the next, and frankly the only reason she was talking to this woman was because she could receive information from her. "Back to the rebels, how many of you are there? If you've been around so long."

"Lots actually there is a whole city almost down here. This part of town is really all I know. We do get together a lot for trade almost everyone here does something to contribute. you will have to be here on that day you'll see how many there are. I almost think we could be happy like this but then we get families that come here to escape and we know our duty to them and what they will do for us. Its a hard existence sometimes but you'll see and form your own opinion on it."

"So this is not only a rebellion, but a refugee too?" That one took her by surprise. She had initially thought that this was simply a growing army of rebels that were secretly causing the empire hell. Apparently her assumption was wrong.

"Ask Bry to help you aorund and ask him questions I'm sure he will be happy to share. But I have to go I have to do somethings it was nice meeting hope to see you aorund more." She smiled and her ball of light chimed as it followed her happily.
Bry was on the edge of the corridor looking down at the many stories down that people were busying themselves with. He was perched much like a gargoyle would when looking down.

A few minutes later, Coranna left too, her feathers now groomed to perfection. It took her a little while to find her shelf, she counted her belongings, making sure nothing was missing. She redressed herself as quickly as she could, snapping the bracers around her ankles and letting her belt rest lightly on her hips.
Exciting the bathhouse, she was suprised to see Bry crouched on the ledge, waiting. She would at least thought he'd be flying around or talking with others. A playful smirk moulded her lips, as she flicked at the air in front of her. A small and harmless jet of air propelled forward from her finger, contacting lightly with the back of Bry's head. "Aren't you a patient one?" She commented with a grin.

Bry turned his head and smiled,"For you." He pointed down. "Your friends are here." They were on the second floor. A small light bobbing beside them and Nya was staying away from it out of not wanting to be shocked again. Mia was holding a covered jar. It had taken them longer then expected but they had managed t get here.
Mia held the jar afraid to open it or uncover it. Mia had seen Bry sitting and waiting so she figured Coranna was nearby. Bry had seen them so Coranna would know that they were here. In the jar was a light ball. Like Mia's it would wait for her to come around when she was in the tunnels. It would hang around whever you told it to wait. Something Mia really thought was cute. They even held small personailities. It was hard to believe that some magic could do such a thing to a plant. Once ths one saw Corranna it would be attched to her. Thats how it worked the first person it saw was who it stayed by or listened to. Mia thought it would be a nice gift for making amends.
Nya however didn't know what was in the jar she kept wanting to see. "WHy do I have to wait to know?" She frowned. But once they got to Coranna she would know and then Nya could watch it all being unwrapped. "Just a peek." She kept getting no's but if she pushed enough she would be able to peek right? Mia wasn't budging though. At least she seemed happier.

"Oh, they finally made it?" Coranna questioned as she took perch beside him. Glancing down, she caught sight of the jar. Her first though was that it was another drink that probably contained drugs in it. She resisted rolling her eyes, but didn't manage to keep the words 'Not again' from slipping from her mouth. As soon as she did she cursed herself. She was supposed to keep that secret, she guessed. She was just much to comfortable around Bry, she was able to be her normal Tengu self. But this also made her feel uncomfortable, who knows what other secrets she might accidentally let slip. She brought her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them, as if she was trying to keep the secrets in.
