Rabbit flinched slightly at the sudden shift in Janiya's personality, but when the woman stood up and held out a hand, she slowly raised her own. She was quivering, and her hand was ice cold to the touch. Her grip was weak as she used Janiya's help to wobble up to her feet.
Glancing down at her untouched coffee and food, she gave a shake of her head. "N-no... I don't want t-to eat... I just wanna find R-Rooster..."

Happy that she's at the point where the girl would take her hand, she at first shivered at the ice grip but quickly got used to it. Looking down at Rabbit she smiled slightly, still heated but not willing to show it too much.
"Cool beans..." before moving, she quietly thought about the name. Rooster? She was really digging the taste on names! Simple, catchy and to the point. Perfect street names! "We'll find Rooster then! We can start looking around the block."
With those words, she would start walking towards the door, waving at the people that served them. "I should probably ask, are they a boy or girl? That'll make things easier too."

"H-hes a guy... Big and tall, with an eyepatch..." Rabbit was still whispering, but as Janiya moved to lead her out, she would pull herself close to the woman, like a small child scared of being left behind. She was half-hidden behind Janiya's arm, peeking around it as she eyed the world all around them, looking into every shadow.
"He's g-got blonde hair... and tattoos..."

Male, large and tall, eyepatch, blond hair and tatted... she didn't know anyone off the top of her head like that but the description she gave was enough for her to make a few assumptions, very few of them positive ones. She'd have to keep her guard up 24/7. Walking out of the store with Rabbit, she turned a corner and started walking the street, walking slow so Rabbit could walk comfortably beside- behind her arm.
"We'll find him no problem. If you see something familiar just let me know and that's where we're headed," Janiya placed her other hand in her slack pocket, smiling warmly for reassurance. "'Kay?"

Rabbit nodded, her eyes continuing to dart around. They were in a nice neighborhood, where her dirty hair and tear smudged face would stand out, and walking down the sidewalk would draw attention.
"H-how are we g-going to find him before they f-f-find us?"

Janiya flashed a smile at Rabbit. "Easy m'dear. We look in the last places we otherwise would think to look. Where does Rooster like hanging out?" Turning another corner, she kept her eye open for anything that looked suspicious.

Janiya wasn't able to spot anything suspicious as they walked along. It seemed like a completely normal day in Telluride: people walked their dogs and the sun was still shining. Rabbit stayed close to her, quiet for a moment as she contemplated the question.
"T-the... Market, maybe... I h-havent seen him in so long..." She murmured something softly, bowing her head a little lower, and tightened her arms around Janiya's.

The Market? That certainly was somewhere she wasn't going to look first, but there was literally nothing here that sparked her as unordinary besides she and Rabbit walking... Nodding, she altered their course in the direction towards the marketplace.
"Maybe he'll be happy to see you..." Janiya said softly, walking slower than before. "To the Market we go." For now.

Rabbit trailed after her, pressing her cheek slightly against her arm.
"B-but what if he's mad at me?" She whispered softly, closing her eyes tightly for a moment. "We... got into a f-fight last time..."

"I'll protect you!" Janiya said proudly. It was kind of her thing after all. "I did promise you that didn't I?" Moving her arm to wrap around Rabbit as if she was kind of hugging her, she continued her slow stride.

Rabbit startled rather suddenly, grabbing tightly onto Janiya's arm. She pulled the woman off to one side, the jerking motion enough to make both of them lose their balance.
However, it was just in time. An arrow pierced the ground, right behind where Janiya had been a moment before. Had they remained on their path, she would have been struck.
Rabbit was collapsed on the ground and took the opportunity to curl into herself, her hands pushing into her hair and her eyes closed tightly. "No, no, no, no!" She whispered to herself. However, there was no enemy in sight, and it was next to impossible to determine where the arrow was fired from.

Extremely confused at the sudden movements, Janiya's eyes widened as she struggled to regain her footing before checking herself for injuries. Looking at the arrow, Janiya cursed before retreating back to where Rabbit was, crouching down. "Are you okay?!" She would say, looking at her for any injuries. "Damn it!"
Her hands were then engulfed with her Chi white in color as she formed both a body shield with straps on it and her favored long sword. Sliding the shield to Rabbit, she looked at her with concern. "Put this on, like a backpack, please and stay behind me. I'll protect you from the front and we'll take the alleys. If something happens I don't want you hurt."

Rabbit was openly sobbing at this point as she struggled to push herself up into a sitting position, to listen to what Janiya instructed her to do. She was shaking too hard to be able to do much.
There was a soft twang, and another arrow came flying through the air. This one pierced the ground beside Janiya's foot, an obvious warning shot.
"Stop where you are!" A woman's voice seemed to echo all around Janiya, as if in surround sound.

“Rabbit, hey Rabbit...” Janiya would reach to comfort her before stopping after hearing another assault, springing up with her sword into defense mode.
Was that the police or a gang? Either way it was bad news. Creating another chi sword she prepared for an attack, glancing back at Rabbit occasionally as she prepped. “Rabbit I need you to grab that shield right now!”

Rabbit reached out to grab the straps of the shield, cowering behind it on the ground. She was shuddering, sobbing. Another arrow came, from seemingly nowhere, this one directed at her shoulder. If it hit, it would pierce through, sending a cold sensation through her entire body.

Janiya turned only to be met with a freezing sensation that struck from a direction she couldn't pinpoint. Dropping to her knees groaning in pain, her energy blade dissipated as she held her shoulder where the arrow was lodged. Looking back to Rabbit to make sure she was fine, she gritted her teeth.
"Show yourself already!"

A hooded woman slowly walked out from around a corner. She was pale, almost ghostly white, and her blue hair hung in her face, distorting her features. In one hand, she held what looked like a bow made of pure ice, but she hadn't strung an arrow.
She silently stared at Janiya, her shoulders tense.
Rabbit hissed in a breath and struggled to try to get her feet under her, scrambling to try to get away.

Janiya looked back to Rabbit, smiling.
"It's going to be okay Rabbit. This freak ain't hurting you with me still breathing." Turning then to look towards her attacker, her eyes immediately went towards their weapon. A wave of uncertainty rushed over her. "Well? What the hell do you want?" Getting to her feet still holding her shoulder with a hand, she gave their guest a rather deathly stare. "We can settle this peacefully, or, if you're who I think you are, we can settle this another way. And I really wanna settle it that other way."

"We just want the girl."
The woman kept her bow held tight in one hand as she stared at Janiya and Rabbit, her gaze as cold as the ice she held.

"Not happening," Janiya responded firmly, "Hike your ass back to Antarctica and chill out."
Janiya gritted her teeth, putting one hand behind her back. If she needed to form some kind of weapon to defend Rabbit she would, but she didn't want this woman to see her do it.
