Hebe slipped up to the door and hesitated there, not sure what to do. Should she knock? Should she turn around and leave? After a moment, she quietly knocked on the door.

Fynn jumped again, not used to this much socialization. He opened the door just a crack, not showing the deformed side of his face. "May I help you?"

"I…" she hesitated. "Is this, the, you know, place?" She awkwardly shuffled and lowered her eyes a little.

He raised an eyebrow. "You'll have to be more specific."

"Rebellion place?" She stumbled over her words, cursing herself for being so awkward around strangers.

Fynn nodded, letting the girl inside and shutting the door behind her.

Hebe warily flipped off her hood, revealing her patchy skin (vitiligo). She glanced around before choosing to remain standing a little off to the side.

"Hey, we've both got it." Artemis said, gesturing to Hebe before pointing to her own face.

She smiled a little, feeling better about herself. "Great, I'm not alone."

Fynn nodded after noticing the patches on both of the girl's face. Seeing that they were disfigured too made him trust them more.

She shuffled her feet and looked up after a moment. "Is there something specific we're doing right now?"

Fynn rocked back and forth on his heels. "Well…I wasn't expecting anyone today…"

"Oh… are we intruding?" She asked suddenly.

"No, no you're fine. I've been waiting for rebellion members for a few days."

"Well where can I sign up?"

Fynn shrugged, running his fingers through his hair. "Man, I wasn't prepared for this. There's no sign up, just tell me your name I guess."

"I'm Hebe," she said, brushing her hair over her shoulder.

Fynn shrugged, running his fingers through his hair. "Man, I wasn't prepared for this. There's no sign up, just tell me your name I guess."

"Artemis Palizen. What's yours?"

Hebe and Artemis…I'll try to remember that… Fynn turned to Artemis. "I'm Fynn Harper."

//artemis and hebe are both pretty similar now that I think about it
both have goddess names, vitiligo, asian ancestry, and bluish hair (sometimes, Hebe dyes her hair so it's often blue but not always)

//no no, I think it's great

"Nice to meet you, Fynn."

He nodded. "Well…make yourselves comfortable. You can stay the night here or go back to…wherever."

"I don't really have anywhere else…" Artemis said, sitting down.

"You can stay then. There are mattresses in the back." Fynn pointed down the dark hallway.
