Shiv glanced back over her shoulder and put on a bit more speed, and accidentally bumped into Xia, knocking both girls over, the caramel Jackal falling back and looking around with wide eyes, then noticing the Echidna she jumped slightly, afraid. Was she a compatriot of Cander, the doctor that had performed his experiment on her? She’d never seen any echidnas before Cander. Her heart pounded out of her chest as she scooted back slightly, her metallic fingers on her left hand scraped along the pavement of the sidewalk they were on. Meanwhile the Delta building was on full alert, the hole in the side where she’d burst out was being locked down and Shiv had a feeling they would be sending out mechanized forces, in addition to the bounty hunter that had been called to pursue her.
Wh-- !?
The echinda dropped the map as she was crashed into by the sudden intruder that was all up in her personal space. Then she was on the ground, shaking slightly as Xia gripped the map tightly. Woah, not cool. Anger flared inside her as she rubbed her temples. Just great. Normally Xia wouldn’t be this annoyed but she was tired, hungry and frustrated with no idea of where she’ll sleep tonight.
Watch where you’re going!
Xia snapped, pale orange eyes flashing as she got up with a groan but the anger faded away when she noticed fear in the eyes of the stranger which made her feel bad. Wait what was that scrapping sound-- Oh. A cyborg? This was rare.
... Hey, are you okay? I’m sorry for snapping at you.
