"Painkillers? And they work well?" Though they aren't her usual
pills, Tinder thinks that maybe they could bridge the gap.. And
it would be easier to grab one of her own pills to take with it,
under the cover of these. She flinches a little as Niv touch's
her shoulder, looking over at her quickly, as much as she'd like
to believe these words she knows she can't let her gaurd down.
"Thanks.." She mumbles out this one word as they turn the corner
towards her home. As soon as she sees the door she knows
something is wrong, she knows they got to her house before she
did. A large manila envelope taped onto her door, an odd symbol
printed onto the corner of it. Tinder knows this symbol all too
well, it being sewed onto her dealers jacket, painted onto walls
when they finally finish the people who don't pay up. Tinder
stops abruptly, trying to stop Niv as well, "My house is just
there.. you can head back to the store."

"Of course they work well. I've been engineering these for a
year and a half now. They last for times as long as standard
painkillers. The plants I chose are compatible with pony
physiology. So, no short or long term side effects. And no
addictive qualities." She glances back to her bag, "But I've
only made a hooful. So it's only for emergencies." She looks
back forward to follow her friend. Rounding the corner, she
spots the envelope on the door. Her eyes squint. She keeps
trotting to the door, despite Tinder's objections. "I'm taking
the day off too. Let's see what's up with that note."

Tinder grabs onto Niv as she keeps walking, she doesn't want
her involved in this, "Really, I'm fine. You should go rest at
home. I'm sure it's just bills or something." She can't let her
see what's in that envelope, this is her problem not Nivs. Her
body beginning to shake as she stares at Niv, her eyes pleading
for her to just leave it be. Tinder knows she can't tangle
anyone else up in the mess she's in.

"Oh? Well it's a good thing it's just bills," Nivalia replies as
she gets closer. once she gets close enough, her magic picks up
the envelope and brings it over to them. The changeling notices
the mark. Her expression turns stern. Without a word, she passes
it over to Tinder.

Tinder quickly grabs the envelope from Niv's magic, holding it
close, not daring to open it. She knows that whatever is in this
isn't good, she knows she can't let Niv see. "Thanks, I could
have gotten it myself. You should head home now, get some rest,
thanks for taking me this far. Truly, I'm fine now." She flashes
a weak smile at Niv, wishing she could make her forget, forget
her injuries, forget the symbol she just saw.

Nivalia stays in place, despite Tinder's "assurance" that things
are alright. "Tinder, you're lying. Look..." she sighs and sits
down, looking her friend in the eye. "I'll be here for you.
Whatever is going on, I'll have your back and I certainly won't
judge. Just... give me a chance to help."

Tinder hesitates for a moment, holding the envelope close to her
chest as she looks at Niv, trying to decide her best course of
action. She can't keep lying, Niv knows too much already, she
needs to tell it all to her. How long has it even been since she
told her secrets? Years? She takes a second to breath before
nodding and heading for her door, "Come inside.. we can't talk
about this out here." She unlocks the door and heads in, sitting
down next to her coffee table, leaving plenty of room for Niv.
She grabs a few pills from the table and downs them, not being
able to last any longer. Tinder lays the envelope down on the
table, symbol side up, not wanting to open it yet.

Nivalia doesn't say a word. She simply nods and follows Tinder
inside. Honestly, she's a little humbled. She's never been to
her friend's house, though she wishes it was under better
circumstances. Her eyes glance over the envelope. Niv also notes
the pills as well. She wants to ask her something, but that can
wait. "Alright Tinder, I'm all ears."

Tinder takes a minute to think out the best way to tell her
story, clearly nervous, her magic grabbing a couple more pills
to take. She knows she just took some, but it didn't feel like
enough, everything is hurting so much. "I can't keep up with my
payments anymore.." She slide the envelope over to Niv, inside
are pictures, lots of them. Pictures of Tinder and Niv, pictures
of Fox, of Ebony, anyone she considers a friend. Along with more
incriminating photos, of her buying from her dealers, of her
stealing, even one of her from last night, her body beaten and
bloody underneath their tag. "I didn't want to get you involved,
I don't want you to get hurt."

Nivalia examines each photo that Tinder gives her. Knowing they
were being watched was rather startling. Seeing the last one of
Tinder though... a look of seething rage passes her face. It
takes every ounce of control to keep a level head. To not just
run out the door and punish those who did this to her. Nivalia
didn't want to see anymore, she didn't have to. "The only ones
who are going to get hurt are those who did this to you. And
that's if they're lucky." She looks up, her face softening when
she sees Tinder again. "Where are they?"
