He smirked. "Yeah, I'm comin'. If for nothin' else, just to see you guys try to make nice." And there was Footsteps. But he wasn't going to make a big deal about that.

Skittery stuffed his hands in his pockets, holding onto the note and not saying a word. He simply headed towards the refuge, trudging through the slowly melting snow.

As they approached the all-too-familiar building, Goblin reflected that for the place he hated most in the entire world, he'd been spending way too much time there. Hopefully, this would be his last visit ever.
It wasn't until they were waiting in the nearest alley for someone to open the gate that he noted how completely awkward this whole situation was. He touched the bottle in his pocket and the key nestled beside it and just hoped this would work out the way he'd planned.

The closer they got to the Refuge, the more grim Cav bacame. He didn't want to be back here. More than that, he wanted 'Steps to come with him so she never had to be back here, either. "So, uh, what exactly is the plan?"

Goblin sighed. He'd avoided explaining the plan as long as possible. It wouldn't mean anything to Skittery, but Cav would tell him he was out of his goddamn mind. "I'm gonna try and get Riddle to help us."

Cav stopped in his tracks. "Riddle? You're gonna ask Riddle for help? Goblin, she hates Script! There's no way in hell she's gonna help her ex-boyfriend find his other ex-girlfriend who he's still totally in love with. She'll laugh in your damn face."

"No, she won't," he said wearily. "I know what I'm doing, okay?" He hoped he was right. He was usually right about these things, and he knew Riddle pretty damn well, but he absolutely needed to be right this time.
He also kind of wished Cav hadn't just provided Skittery with a handy one-sentence history of the whole situation.

Skittery's brow was furrowed. "Look, I dunno about this... You say this girl hates Script?" he inquired, turning to Cav. "Why would she help us out? Sounds to me like she would want to make sure she stayed lost."

Cav put hishands up. "Look, for the record, I think it's a terrible idea."

"She gave me the key, didn't she?" he reminded Cav, ignoring Skittery since Skittery was clearly ignoring him. "And it's not like I've got nothing to bargain with. If there's anything I can do, it's talk people into things," he pointed out bitterly. That had started the whole horrible chain of events that led to Maggie's disappearance, after all.
The gates finally opened, and a carriage went clattering out. Goblin darted through the gates, sticking to the shadows and wishing Wraith were here, and waited for the others to follow.

Cav let out a kind of exasperated sigh and dashed after him. He had a bad feeling about this. Riddle couldn't be trusted, but at least Gypsy wasn't around. And he would see 'Steps. That's all that mattered.

Skittery, being the last in through the gate, closed it quietly behind them. He felt like he was way in over his head, but he also felt like that was a good thing since it was the refuge they were dealing with.

Goblin looked around for guards, led them around the side of the building, and climbed up past the fire escape to the roof. He didn't actually know whether Skittery or Cav had ever done this before, but he figured they'd have the sense to move quietly and keep an eye out for trouble.
When he reached the roof, there was an almost comical number of ropes tied around the chimney, since everyone knew this was the only damn way to visit people in the Refuge. They could all lower themselves down to the window if they wanted. He waited for the others to catch up.

Cav followed close behind. His stomach flipped a few times as he realized how close he was to seeing Footsteps, and he frowned. He looked around to make sure they weren't spotted, then turned to Goblin. "What now? Are we sneakin' in, or getting one a' the kids to get what we need for us?" Translation: Am I going to be able to hold her for a minute, or just look at her through a barred window?

Skittery was basically just along for the ride at this point. All he wanted was to find out Maggie's dad's address and hightail outta here ASAP. He needed to find her, and soon.
