(What's a 'ribbon price'? )

"Maybe, let me get a sniff," Chloe said, trotting over.

Katana laid down and Thomas continued to stroke her ears until she fell asleep which took only a matter of seconds Thomas listened to the two talk and interjected " Honestly I'd highly enjoy watching you tear him to pieces if not for my sake than for Blue Lights... being the thief had its perks I know how hard Delta Pushed her... This Girls Unbreakable"

"Thomas, that's your name, right? No one is 'unbreakable'. People get tired, they crack under pressure, and still stand, but there is always a breaking point. Katana is reaching hers. I don't know how long she been running from that swine, but he's starting to wear her out. He'll get her to the point she'll say yes to him simply so he'll back off, but he won't. He'll keep taking until there is nothing left for her to give.," Sam sighed, "Here in Gotham, that's a common occurrence, we see it every day in the humans. This is something they do so frequently that it might as well be part of their society. Take a look around Blood Alley and you'll see why I say that. We know what depression looks like, and this is it. She can force a smile, act all she pleases, but she'll break at some point."

Thomas looked at Sam and smirked " You're Right.... and the worst thing that can happen is you break when you're all alone.... then there's no one to put you back together again..." Thomas jumped off of Katanas head and walked to the Door before stopping and turning back" Is Tikki Okay?" he asked softly

Sam nodded, "She is. Down the corridor, third door to the right and across from the open med-room. She's most likely still sleeping."

Thomas nodded to the two and scuttered town the hall to the room Sam had talked about. Tiki as laying Right where Katana had left her. Thomas smiled and curled up on the blanket waiting for her to wake up.

Minka Knocked on the Door soon after Thomas Had left

"Come in!" Sam said, his ear twitching at the knock.

Minka walked in silently and walked straight over to Katana looking her over. She lifted up one of katanas paws, her pads were sore and raw from punning. then Minka rubbed her paw against the grain of Kataas Coat. Although Minka did not speak Her eyes lit up with surprise as she examined Katana. After a moment of thought minka padded out of the room. she could be heard rummaging around in her area for a moment and mumbling. She returned moments later with a bag of white powder and her own bowl. she glanced at Sam and Jackie and spoke only a single word "Water..." her voice was not alarming or demanding, rather it lacked any emotion at all.

Jackie stood, nodding, "I'll be right back with it."
