Tia looked at both character completely confused... "You, the overly hyper one... what is your business here?"

Daemon burst out laughing. It was ironic that this new comer was playing cop while a police force did not even exist here.

"I am NOT overly hyper!" Klaire said, pouting and folding her hands across her chest. She rose off of Daemon and offered him help to his feet, giggling quietly at the nickname he had given her. She then happily skipped over to Tia, humming happily. When she closed the distance, she extended her right hand, smiling warmly. "My name is Klaire!" she said happily. "What's yours?"

Laughter... she hasn't come across that emotion in a long time... Being part of "The Mutiny" they were trained to never show any kind of emotion at all... they could never laugh, they could never cry, could never show any sign of self expression...

"She has a weird robotic name thingy. I call her Borgie or Tia depending on my mood, off course."

"Tia...?" Klaire asked, poking her shoulder playfully. "Why are you so quiet? You look lonely. Do you want a friend?" Klaire asked, her smile turning into a slight frown. "I can be your friend if you want! Daemon can too! I think Syl will be your friend too, if we find him! Then there's Johnny and Veronica and Eminor and plenty of other people! We can all be your friends!"

Tia looked at them with emotion slowly starting to dilute her cold eyes... Friends, that sounds nice... almost too nice... Tia's world has been filled with war, hatred, and the perception of others as sly and cruel... because of this she never showed her emotions, for fear of getting betrayed. She looked at Klaire thoughtfully... "That sounds nice"

Daemon walked toward them both now standing beside Klaire, "Now what?"

"Yay!" Where are you from, Tia?" Klaire asked, tugging on her sleeve playfully. She then opened her arms in a warm hug and hugged her tight, giggling before letting go and skipping around the alley as she awaited Tia's response.

Tia's thoughtful look instantly turned into sadness... "Im from a distant place..." A place too distant, she thought.

"None of us are from here, Tia," Klaire said quietly. "But, since we are here, we need to make the best of it until we find a way back to where we came from. Okay?" Klaire said, hugging her again in comfort. She hated seeing people sad.

"Is that so?" Tia replied. Though she was surrounded by complete strangers and a foreign land that she knew nothing of, somehow she did not want to go back...

By chance, Syl sensed Daemon's aura within its range. It wandered closer, keeping to the shadows, until it was one corner away from the group, on the roof, just out of their sight. It arrived in time to witnes the first half of the conversation, where... a new girl... had pointed her gun at Daemon.
Syl didn't panic when it saw it. Daemon was very capable of defeing himself, and besides, this... girl... seemed lost and confused. It felt some sympathy for her, as well as relief that Daemon and Klaire were alright, but other than that, kept its emotions under control. If it was to avoid making a scene in their presence, it needed to keep an eye on its emotional state. Now Syl was in a rational state, which toned own its emotions and increased its ability to analyze.
... Analyze was exactly what it did. It watched the new girl closely from its hiding place, unnoticed by the group. By the way she reacted, acted, and pointed and held the gun, she reminded Syl of a conditioned soldier. Perhaps trained for warfare, to kill without mercy? Whatever the case, it doubted that her past life was pretty and filled with flowers and unicorns and fairies. Then there was her aura. It had modified human written all over it. In some ways it was like Klaire's aura, in other ways it wasn't. It wasn't as pronounced as with Klaire, for some reason... it could be a result of her modifications, because of certain mechanical components or because she was simply born that way.
Still, there was something... familiar about her. Syl didn't know whether it was because it may have encountered her ilk in the past, or whether it had simply encountered people like her, but from a different world. It piqued its curiosity.
Syl gave in to its curiosity. There was only one way to find out more about this girl, and while it was at it, it could spend some time with Daemon and Klaire, those that it considered its friends.
It slowly descended back onto the streets and poked its head around the corner so that they could see it.
"Um... am I interrupting something?" it asked softly, smiling shyly.

"SYL!" Klaire yelled, running up to him and tackling him to the ground in a huge hug. "I missed you I missed you I missed you!" she shouted, hugging him tight. She then let go, helping him to his feet and pointing to Tia. "This is Tia! She's new here! I think you'd like her. She needs friends here, if you ask me. She seems super duper lonely," Klaire said, pursing her lips and grabbing Syl's wrist. She dragged him over to Tia and jumped up and down excitedly after freeing him from her iron-tight grip.

Tia observed the new character that was now within close range of her... but she did not know what to make of him. She pointed her gun at him, but changed her mind as the sudden thought of "friend" came across her system. Instead, she held out her hand to formally greet this being, "I am Tia... state your iden---" Tia shook her head, "Pleased to meet..." Not even finishing her greeting, Tia collapsed and fell onto the cold, hard pavement. She forgot about how exhausted and weak she had grown...quickly drifting into unconsciousness.
