This was so far her plan. She looked up at the distance she had to go and occasionally looked back at Tyr. She'd grip his sleeve and hold fast in more so crowded areas she could disappear easily as small and thin as she was and he looked like he was about to shit himself.
"You know their is a trick to a places like this..." she'd start. "I ran various jobs and when I would do that I'd not ask questions and we have a phrase "Dont feed the Beast."
"What it means is you are being offered a job nothing more. No emotions no ties. Could you buy all those slaves as set them free? Maybe... But you gave that man your money a chance to do it again. You fed that Beast to live another day." she'd hoped talking to him might help even if the words are less than encouraging.

The closer they moved to the palace the more expensive things looked to be. And much nicer. Slaves continued to be on display, and several brothels advertised their wares. A group of men brushed by with fake limbs that looked to be made of some type of exotic metal. In the distance, they could see the Palace walls, guards patrolling the area and several more gun turrets over looking at the crowds.
Though the crowds paid them little mind.
Avice would see the palace grounds at least people were being stopped. It looked like that was where the free-roaming would end.

As they walked, He spoke softly to Avice.
"Is this....normal, outside of 259?"

"Yes." it was a simple answer no doubt. She'd continue still. "Prosperous territories like 259, 241, 4 amd so on..." she looked back at him. "No territory is powerful unless they've spilled blood and got the resources to do it. Which cost money and man... Some people wont put their lives at stake for a good cause."
"I've survived this long with a little hope... You see sometimes stories of triumphs and revelations give you the drive to keep walking." she straightened her back and her steps felt sure and confident in her march. "Replay in your head your favorite story of victory and hope... Something that fills your heart. You'll have courage... Even if just for a moment. One moment makes all the difference."

"If I could...I'd burn this stupid hole to the ground. Women shouldn't....people shouldn't be treated this way."
But he kept walking.

She stopped in her steps and turn to him.
"Then better yet, imagine yourself doing it, swear upon yourself you'll do it one day. Imagine your success when you stand up for what you believe." she held a finger up. "But not today, not while you are on my mission. Aye?" she'd turn back and head to the palace entrance.

He stopped, adjusting the pack on his back as he grumbled...but would follow after her as they started up the palace steps.

The guards would stop them at the entrance.
"What's your business?"

Avice spoke with certainty. "We bring a message from 259's Cabal, requested to be delivered to the ruler of this territory on be have of David Blaze." her body language was stark and professional. She'd show them identification should they ask for it.

Tyr would stand at attention behind Avice, like a body guard, but let her do the talking!

The guards looked at each other confused.
"Again?"
They'd check the paperwork to make sure it was in order before escorting her in and through the palace to two very large doors deep within!

As they were being escorted she just had to ask.
"Again you ask?" she raised a brow. But then thought about it an realized she shouldn't be as surprised as she sounded. "Well I wouldn't mistake Blaze to not be persistent." he seemed the type to enjoy things going his way.
This was one place she hadn't been the doors were bigger than she thought was possible... Or necessary.

Tyr frowned, but followed her and the guards. He wasn't aware of a second diplomat either, unless Asiv had sent one already which he found his voice to say-
"It's possible that Asiv sent a representative. That may be to what they are referencing."

"Why would he do that if Blaze would send me? Seems excessive..." she arches a brow. If punk was one to shoot a messenger and they already sent a bloke to give him the message. She was in even more hot water.

Tyr shrugged.
"Maybe they don't always communicate. We'll find out, I suppose...perhaps playing like we know what the other one was here for will get us more information about it."
