The small group had soon relaxed, the tension that moments ago had felt so heavy in the air was now a thin mist, dissolving into the air. Kennedy stood, and peering out from the alleyway in which they stood, she checked to make sure there was no immediate danger. As she glanced left, she saw a large figure disappear around a corner down the walkway. She wondered if that was the thing that had worried them so, but she didn't harp on the thought. Turning to address her friends, she smiled wide, "Alright, well shall we get going then? Wouldn't want to keep them waiting," Kennedy took a step out from the alley and onto the walkway that led past several more stores.
Looking around, the everyday citizens of Rapture could be seen conversing, smoking a cigarette, or having a drink. It was a reassuring scene, knowing that the 'regular Joes' were out and about enjoying their day. They even seemed to be used to the sight of Poppy, though as they continued, they were met with several sideways glances and some peculiar glares. Kennedy simply brushed it off, not taking much worry in the matter. Looking back to her Knights as she took the lead, she spoke. "Chin up, fellas. Nothing has stopped us yet, and we aren't going to let anything get us down this time either." A sideways grin played on her face, "We are Knights, through thick and thin."
Continuing down the carpeted walk, bits of the citizen's conversations could be hear. "I can't believe they sunk that building, what good does that do?" "I really need to get some more EVE, getting the jitters..." "Now honey, be careful for splicers. Don't wander into the abandoned halls." Kennedy pondered on these statements, still trying to get a feel for the whole place, but she figured that would take time... Coming to what appeared to be a dead ending, with a directional map strewn out before them, Kennedy stopped. "Hm, let's see.... Apollo Square... Arcadia.... Fort Frolic...." She bit her lip and then turned to the others, "Well, your guess is as good as mine." She looked to Jonathan, who didn't seem to have a full grasp of his bearings, and then to Poppy.
