>"Then your family is toxic. If you've been taught that your opinions don't matter, that your person is violable, that your life should be subservient to the dictates of another... then that's not okay! You're a good woman, Alisaie. Even knowing you for so short a time, that much is clear to me. You deserve so much better than this. Family are those who love and support and understand each other, not just those with whom we share an accident of birth."

>"Then... What should I do?" she asks plaintively.

>"Get away from her. We cannot change the woman she's chosen to be, but she can only control you as much as you allow her. I'm sure you care about her, but it's not healthy to stay in such an environment. You should be with those who respect you for who you are, not demand you be something else. And if there's anything I can do to help, just ask."

>Alisaie looks down at the floor. "I.... I want to stay, here, for now. Not, not for my sister." she says quickly. "For my Little Patchy. And, for you, too." she adds hesitantly. "I've seen you fight. You might need a doctor?" she offers, smiling shyly.

>"We might yet before all this is over. I'm not saying you need to go back to Francais right away, but I still think you should get out from under this roof. If your sister wasn't pleased before, I imagine she'll be even less pleased now, and I don't think it's healthy for you to stay within her sphere. Though I'm afraid I don't have much room to offer you, myself - just a small apartment that's already shared."

>"I have a suggestion." Lily says as she flutters back through the hole in the wall she came through. "There's a man I know really good here in town, and he's always looking to talk to doctors. I know he'd like to talk to you anyway, and he'd probably know a place where you could stay, and stay safe, too."
>Alisaie gives her a grateful look, but her face falls when she looks past Lily to the unconscious form of her sister. It's not hard to see that Alisaie is still intimidated by her, even now. "Ya should listen to 'em, Doc." White Rose says as she walks up behind you. "I've known folks like your sister all my life. If you're here when she comes to, you're gonna be sorry. And that'd make the four of us very upset."
>The doctor nods slowly. "No... No I don't want that. But, but what are you going to do? I know my sister, she will try to find you."
>"Then SHE'D be sorry." White Rose says bluntly.

>"I do not fear her magic, and I will not brook her aggression against us or any of the people we care about. We have faced far worse than her, and will do so again. Your sister may be very used to getting her own way, but there are some things beyond even her ability to dominate."

>Alisaie actually smiles. "That would a bitter vintage for her to swallow." she says, using an old Francais saying.

>"That... might be for the best." Alisaie admits slowly. Given how meek she's seemed, hearing that admission from her, uncertain though it may be, gives you some hope.
>"Funny, I started by asking YOU that, didn't I?" she utters a quiet laugh. "Well, would you mind helping me up?"

>Let's disarm that chest and take a look inside

>Alisaie still seems slightly troubled by that, but Rin smiles at her. "Trust us. It's better this way. Maybe your sister'll be out some cash, but it'll help us get her daughter back to normal." The francais woman says nothing, but she does seem to accept White Rose's words.
>A blast of your Amber Light makes quick work of the trap in Madame Knowledge's chest. Curiously, that signature is the only one that your light destroys, the others remain intact. Seems your Amber Light doesn't work on all magics. The now-disarmed chest yields a collection of glass bottles, jars and vials, some holding powders of various colors, less some holding liquids of various hues. One jar larger than the others is sealed with lead, and while you're curious, that's not what you came here for. You're no thief. Except of slaves.
>The chest also holds three tomes, each with thick leather covers marked with inscriptions and runes that mean nothing to you. There is a recurring symbol of a crescent moon rising out of a rose resting on an open book, which you've also seen around the house. It may be the family crest. Beneath one of these books, you find the target of your searching: Reisen Udongein's ownership papers. There's more of them than there are in Rin's documents, which isn't too surprising, given the nature of her situation that she explained earlier.
>Curiously, though, you also find what appear to be a second set of papers for another slave.

>You have acquired: Ownership Papers of Reisen Udongein.
>You have acquired: Reisen Udongein and everything she owns.

>The second set of papers indicates the ownership of one Misato Kamata, a female shark youkai of Yamato nationality. She was acquired from an unlisted source by a Louisoix Knowledge 9 years ago, and ownership was transferred to the woman you just blasted through a wall 5 years ago. Her papers refer to her as a 'lavamancer'.

>She never mentioned, at least not to me.
>Reisen responds with words that you never could have imagined she would. Yes you will, Byakuren. That hits you fairly hard, but she does follow up. Because I know you want to protect me. My slavery was the price I had to pay to stay here on earth, and the Lunarians learned that I was violating that, it'd be the end for me. And that means that you need to think of yourself as my owner. Even act like, every now and again, the same way you do for Rin.

>I wouldn't dictate her life either, Reisen. I love her. And if you feel you need to look subservient to me in public for the sake of appearances, that doesn't mean you aren't still free to choose your own path in life. We can just claim it was my idea, if anyone asks.

>I don't think I'd believe you if you did. Reisen says, returning your smile. It's just, all my life, I've either been a solider or a fugitive or a slave. I don't think I can just... Pick up a new life, like that. Besides, Byakuren, do you remember what I said after we met Motormaster? That I wish I had an owner like you? Well, now I do. I think... I'd like to enjoy it, for a while.

>Give her a little hug

>The tall rabbit doesn't seem entirely content with a 'little' hug, as the one she gives you has some more oomph behind it. Is this how you felt, Rin? she asks the kasha behind you.
>You can hear the gentle smile on Rin's face when she answers, Like you couldn't quite believe it were true, but you didn't want to say nothing in case the dream ended on ya?
>Yeah.
>Pretty much. Takes a bit for it ta sink in. But that's what we love about our Mistress here, she'll give ya all the time ya want.

>Do ya have anything here that you wanted to take with you? Rin asks Reisen.
>Just the Gvoztika out in the garage. Everything else I own is with Patch... At our apartment.
>You keep a flower in a garage? Lily asks, confused.
>Poppy smiles. It's a motorcycle, Lily.

>I didn't know you owned another bike. Rin comments as you head for the door. The proper door, not the one you blasted out earlier. What, one wasn't enough?
>Hardly that. the rabbit answers as you exit the room, heading down the hallway in the reverse direction you came down earlier. And it really isn't much of a bike either, if you ask me. It's Moscovian, and every Moscovian bike in the world seems to be wobbly and hard and made of pig iron. Unless it's ridiculously expensive, which this one isn't. I won this one in a race about a month ago, out in Muenzuka. Me and one of Motormaster's crew had a race for pinks. I don't really have much else to bet with other than my bike. Well.... She offers you a faint smile. I guess, your bike, now.
