Farley. Del says in her mind. "Farley." She says aloud. "How do we find her?"
Laia sighs, "I overheard someone talking about her - in Naercy I assume. But I don't know how we will find her. If it wasn't like an invitation." Del looks away, "We will find her then. Nothing bad about that. She should help everyone right? Or we can reveal what she is doing, not that I would."
Laia continues walking and turns to the main square."Del, why are you acting differently?"
Del doesn't answer but keeps on walking. I don't want to tell her why.

As they make it to the main square Laia has a serious look on her face as she tries to look for something. She stares at all the people
"What are we looking for?" Asks Del.
Laia then jumps up and points to a tall broad shouldered guy, he has short black hair that curves around his head. "There! That's the guy that was talking about-" she cuts herself off and whispers "-Farley."
Del not amused gives her a smile.
Laia calls out to the guy. "Hello, ugh." Afraid what she wants to ask, she turns her head and looks at Del for reassurance and help.
Del takes a deep breath. If I want to be a change, or help to a change. I will. This is the first step. Talk to another red. She projects her voice aloud to catch his attention for him to be aware and listen. "This is weird but- my friend she over heard you talking to someone about a girl named Farley, she helps reds escape from cons-" Del waits for anything close to a answer, a nod. She stopped herself from speaking any more cause she saw his disinterest.
"I saw you, well heard you speaking to someone about this."
He looks at her and avoids himself from laughing, you can see his muscles in his face strain from a smile. "You must've heard wrong little girl. Because I most definitely didn't say nothing about-" he raises his voice louder purposely "-escaping conscription."
Del looks at him then Laia. "Laia, did you get the wrong guy?"
Laia shakes her head nervously. "Please I know you were the one talking. I saw you."
He begins to walk away but in a slow pace.
Laia shoves herself away from Del and forces her whole body into conspicuous guy . "I don't know if this is some kind of sick funny joke. But I know what I saw and heard. You don't have to tell us, but remember the name Laia." Laia raises her chin and looks away and walks back to Del.
Del pats her shoulder, "Good job?"
He claps his hands and smiles. "So you're serious about leaving? Risking what it takes to get to your rightful freedom?"
Del nods. Our freedom. But Laia screeches aloud and at the same time embarrassingly looks around. "Yes please. Our rightful freedom."
He nods his head in a agreement and walks up to them, its time you meet someone.
Del looks at him not impressed and let's out a quick question, "Who are you?"
"My name is Artisan. I am noble source to Farley to look for more members-" he quiets himself down as if he is talking to himself, "-though you are guys are looking to leave conscription hmm."
Del repeats the name Farley, it rolls off her tounge with a calm sound to it. "Farley?"
Artisan nods and looks towards Laia and then Del, "Its time you meet her."
