Artemis stayed a bit back, but Flanngo jumped eagerly towards them. "You all make it look effortless! Like magic!" She said. Then she leaned down to inspect the door's hatch. "But I wouldn't be too surprised if you actually used magic for some parts of it. Yes?" Chile shook her head. "Gifteds are afraid to and the humans feel like it's cheating.... but I think sometimes Tekanni uses her ability in her act." Tekanni laughed. "A magician never reveals their secrets." "I think," Chile responded, gesturing to their visitors "sometimes you do." Flanngo looked between the both of them. "...does it matter if it's used or not? Is it cheating if the show looks good?" "Are people really picky about how their mind gets blown away?" Artemis asked. |

"It's more like... taking pride in your work because it looks amazing and you did it with skill anyone could attain if they worked really hard at it, and not relying on a special ability only a few are born with." Tekanni responded. Chile nodded. "Yeah, it's a pride thing." |

That's nice, yes?" |

"Anyone want to go down the secret passage?" asked Chile. |

Again, Flanngo nodded to them both. "I'd love to see it. Artemis, pull your wings in okay? You have to fit too." |

She moved aside and waited for them. "Do you need any help?" Tekanni asked Artemis. |

Artemis shook his head, but his landing was much less graceful in comparison. He took a moment to untangle some of his feathers while he frowned. Ivy lowered herself around him easily. |

Flanngo bounced down first, scooting next to Chile. Artemis shook his head, but his landing was much less graceful in comparison. He took a moment to untangle some of his feathers while he frowned. Ivy lowered herself around him easily. Tekanni slid down, popping away from Artemis if he was still on the landing. Chile grinned broadly. "And we've got lots of those all over the stage!" |

While Artemis sorted himself out, Flanngo had already inched forward. She gestured to the ceiling. "And you use this just to get around? So fast..." |

Chile started rattling on about the traps and hidden features of the stage, her excitement building as she talked. "And this pulley is for- and the electronics panel is over here-" Tekanni tried to help Artemis, 'sneaking' in feather pettings. "So, how does a young man like yourself become involved with the military?" |

Ivy decided to tag along too, though for her she had to duck more often to avoid hitting anything above. Artemis kept his wings steady while they worked. "I guess it sort of...just happens? I was recruited a couple of years ago." |

Tekanni's petting turned even less sneaky and more continuous. Realizing what she was doing, she pulled her hand away. "Ah-- sorry about that." Chile directed them to a few sets of rope ladders and started climbing them with ease, still chattering enthusiastically to her audience. |

Flanngo and Ivy had pulled ahead, leaving Art lagging behind with Tekanni. He lowered his voice and grew quieter. "I guess my reasons are different now. I gotta be here for my friends, and I think.....when I see all the stuff that's being done to people and gifteds...I have to be a part of helping." Artemis stopped and turned to face her as best as he could in the narrow space. "Lots of stuff happened and I don't want anyone to go through something that they don't have to. Makes sense?" |

Chile climbed to a platform and surveyed her company. "Ok, you talked to Michael about, like... protection and stuff? But there's something Michael doesn't know about. Muse is being hunted by one of those anti-human Gifted gangs, cause he took something from them. They're looking for a lady who looks nothing like him now, but I'm still recognizable. If you're really doing something, you should.. probably be told." Tekanni nodded, then slowly went to hug him. "It makes perfect sense." |

Ivy exchanged a look to Flanngo before responding. "That sounds like something we can do something about. We've been keeping an eye on the movement of the groups around the city. Bare minimum we can give you a heads up, but I assure you we won't be letting them slip through into here." |
