Raven nodded at her statement and gave a small smile. "That's great, miss. Though correct me if I'm wrong, but we haven't gotten your names. Would you care to share them?"

Candlelight giggled, "Guess I must have forgotten!" she told him, "My name's Aria, but everyone just calls me Candlelight or Candle."

Alison then turns her head, "I'm Alison. I don't have a nickname like that, I guess just Alison or Ali is fine."

"Understood. It is a pleasure to meet you ladies. I do have some secrets in store, but I'll--we'll elaborate on them when we get to your place Aria."Raven said as he looked toward Nicole. She became confused by what she meant toward that, but played along.

Nicole then looked at the girls. "A pleasure to meet you, too".

Candlelight smiled, "Same here!" as they keep on walking. She then realized she forgot to ask them, "Say, where are you guys from anyway?"

Nicole and Raven look at each other. "Well, considering that you about hoq I used to date Krys, I guess we can come out with it. While we do live with a relative in Mobotropolis, we also hail from a Cyber-Mobian Colony due east of the location. " Raven explained.

Alison looked at him, "I used to have family in Mobotropolis, actually" She started to tell him, "it's pretty nice there, I haven't been there in years though!"

Raven tilted his head. He showed her a curious look on his face. "Oh? What happened? Did they leave or something?" Nicole looked concerned.

Alison looked at him sorrowfully, "My grandma used to live down there" she sighed, "she's long gone now, but the years with her were fun, I guess."

"Oh. Uh.. I'm sorry to hear about your loss. My condolences. I lost relatives there myself. And was raised by others as well." Raven said in a melancholic tone after listening to her. Nicole made her ears go flat as a result. She hugs Alison saying, "I know how you feel, Ali. Like Raven did, I lost relatives, too".

Candlelight gave both of them a dark look, "You guys don't even know the half of it...." She said quietly, as Alison hugged her and Candlelight looked up at the sky.
