Back to where Hisoka left and betrayed his fellow peers behind. Risking Machi and Shalnark to get caught while he made an escape with the crown the troupe have longed for. Leaving the female and male cornered. The sounds of the knight's horses galloping towards their direction left Machi feeling frustrated. Having no plan of getting out of the situation. While Shalnark thought hard. Examining their surroundings he pulled his partner with him towards the bushes that were surrounding them. Small thorns here and there picking their exposed skin. His hands were quick to cover Machi mouth. It was so sudden it caught her of guard Causing her to be irritated. Muffling a bit while shaking her head wanting him to remove his hand.

Shalnark held her mouth stiffening his position. Bringing her head back slightly so he could go near her ear. "If you don't want to disappoint the boss, and not get caught. I advice you not to move." It was rare for Shalnark to get serious. But when it came to accomplishing his job and finishing it. He will put his foot down if he has too. Machi in the other hand was just annoyed. But she was willing to listen for their safety.

The galloping faded away. Hearing rustling and a few men talking. There they were. The knights on the horse looking around. They were at a dead end, the trained horses using their ears to pick up any faint noises. One of the Knights closing in on a few bushes to check if they were hiding anywhere. The sweat of the blond male dripped down his face. Shutting his eyes the closer the other knight got, Machi hand on her leg, where a dagger was strapped around. Ready to attack just in case.
"EY! Let's go, it seems as if they have got away. Let's go around." The leader of this group announced. "They might've climbed up and got away." And with that the rest followed. The one near them took a moment before the horse was turned around and followed right behind.

Slowly Shalnark removed his hand of Machi mouth, letting her go completely while he slowly peek his head out. "I think we are sa— gRah" Machi elbowed the other side of his stomach and got out of the bushes by crawling her way out. Slowly getting up from the floor and wiping herself. "Can you at least let me know before hand? " she let out a huff after that statement. Removing the leaves off her head. Shalnark held his side. And stepped out of the bushes slowly. "You didn't have to hit me, you should at least be grateful" he groaned out.
Machi rolled her eyes and went into her bag. Searching for a two way radio. A tech which Shalnark made with spare parts. Needing to contact their boss so the group could reunite once again.

Back at where the rest of the troupe were. They were at, what seems to be a bar. It out in the open, but into the woods. Where they followed a trail to get there.
Chrollo, the boss of the troupe was standing infront of the door, everyone else but Uvo, Nobunaga, Franklin, Machi and Shalnark standing behind him. A small male besides the boss, going by the name Kortopi and a female tall with an hourglass like figure, going by the name Pakundora. Both of them who stays by chrollo 100% of the way. Showing strong sense of loyalty towards their boss.

Chrollo reached over and pushed the door open. The little bell above the door rang. Inside were mostly men who looked over towards the group. Even the song coming from the piano stopped playing. The troupe stood out specially the energy they gave which got a few of the guys in the bar irritated. "Want us to clean up the place for you boss?" A female with a soft voice, short haired and glasses asked. "That won't be necessary, we wouldn't want to bring any of the guards outside attention." Chrollo responded

A tall, manly-looking, fairly muscular young man with small brown eyes, black hair, and a spiked crew cut. Sitting infront where the drinks where being served looked over to what everyone else was looking at. Raising a brow and leaning into a stranger to nudge them a bit. "You know th"" The male asked. Squinting his eyes a bit. " Why they walking in all macho like?" His question didn't get answered and was brushed off.
"Sheesh! If you didn't know you could have just say so." The man grumbled. Leaning back in his chair staring over at the troupe that walked over towards the back.

"Place smells stinky, me don't like it" The short long spiky hair spoke. Scrunching up his nose to avoid the smell, even lowering his head into his scarf wrapped around his neck. "The outside is open for you if you want to stay out there and get caught" the tall blond male by the name Phinks commented. Sitting down over at the round table, Phinks bringing his feet up and resting them. "Would you want me to bring you a drink?" Pakundora asked
"Water will be fine." Chrollo replied back. The people in the bar slowly went back to what they were doing while the smaller female who goes by Shizuku took out the two way radio she carried, hopefully to get in touch with the others.

"Bring me a beer" Phinks requested, "water" Feitan added in while Kortopi pointed at Feitan as a gesture of wanting the same thing. Pakundora stared at them with a sigh escaping her lips. "Ok, phinks come and help too."
"What?? Why me?!" Phinks asked and watched how she just walked away from the question. Removing his feet off the table following along with a groan and standing up. He looked over at Shizuku. "Do you want anything?" He asked, reaching over to pat her shoulder. Repeating his question once again.
"Hm... a martini is fine I guess." She said looking back down to focus on the radio again, bringing it up her ear.
And with that phinks nodded and rushed over to join Pakundora.
