Artemis stayed within the alley, but it looked like he was murmuring something lowly. The circus was nestled towards the more crowded and kept areas of the city, towards where she had been earlier. She continued on. ((time skip, unless you have something planned?)) ( Sure thing! Do you want it to be the next day or so? You can pick and I can adjust accordingly. )

I'm going to go ahead and write off of what we discussed, so as to not waste time and posts.)) He didn't come. He didn't come the next day either. So she drew up a mediocre sketch of him and set out to find the young man once again, asking anyone in the area she had last seen him.

Timeskips are fine...sorry Tekanni you got stood up. XD ) Regardless of the quality of the sketch, it wasn't too hard to identify a shaggy-haired winged boy with those that had seen him. Most of the responses were shrugs, or just pointing to the general area he'd been in in the alley, but one person had piped up. "He's one of them, yeh? Military boys I think."

I thought the military didn't use children." Her tone was more thoughtful rather than scornful. "I suppose it does give them purpose..." If the speaker had nothing further to add she went along back to the alley via the roof, looking down if there was no sign of the boy on the roof itself.

No one was on the roof, but there were a few feathers intermixed with each other. Some were white and gray, but the darker feathers were unnaturally larger.

The idea of the boy attacking a pigeon that had erroneously decided to roost on him was amusing, but she checked the area for more large feathers, signs of struggle, any path she might be able to follow.

There were a few larger feathers down in the alley, but beyond that and a few circling footprints it looked like the boy hadn't left any foot trace.

She resigned herself to continue searching the area, sticking to the rooftops for the better view. The area offered little beyond the usual shifty residents. Some tossed her frowns when they caught a glimpse of Tekanni from above. Further off, below, was the calmer flow of people going about their business. On this day, there was no darting about between buildings. Everyone seemed more at ease.

She did get off the roofs pretty quick, using the first fire escape she came to. Disappointed and defeated she trudged back to the circus, occasionally asking people around her if they'd seen any military people in town.

"In uniform, down by the grocery store." One offered. "I think they're stocking up on snacks."

She thanked them and ran to the grocery store after getting directions to it. The store was on the smaller side, but well kept and well stocked despite there being few people actually shopping. At the edges of one of the ails was a medium skinned man, short, and tapping his foot impatiently while staring down through the rows. He wore a uniform with a blue trim.

He turned the frown, confused, onto Tekanni. "Ohh...do I know you?" Still he seemed to allow the hug, glancing over her side to see back down the aisle.
