"We're doing what?"
A few people close to them turned their heads at Weiss' outburst but soon decided that whatever the girl with white hair was throwing a tantrum over wasn't their concern and kept moving. The mall they were currently in was extra-crowded today and most of Weiss' shouting was drowned out or went unnoticed by most of the populace gathered there that day.
Ruby wished she could say the same. Currently she was leaned against a wall, a holographic map laid out before her as she swiped across the interface, bringing out different cities and their stats and general info, mentally storing the information away later when it came time to make a decision. She pulled the lollipop from her mouth with a wet pop and, without sparing a glance over at the heiress, said, "Leaving the city? I thought I said that clear enough."
"But why?"
Ruby enlarged an image of a city a few miles away, probably an hour or so by transit, and scrolled through the stats bar that came up on her right. "We gotta keep moving if we wanna keep everyone off our backs. Staying in one place for too long makes it easy for them to track us down."
Weiss crossed her arms and huffed indignantly, puffing out her cheek. She had a good point, but she still wasn't quite sure she liked this idea of abandoning their current station and moving off to a whole new place entirely. "Can't we just…find somewhere else in the city?"
Ruby shook her head and swiped over to a new city, this one halfway across the country that would take 3 hours to get to by transit. "What part of "they will find us easily" are you not getting? We have to station ourselves somewhere entirely if we want to avoid being found. Hey, how does Asherah sound? Name doesn't really roll of the tongue but we might be able to hide there for a good few weeks."
"A few weeks?"
Ruby blinked. "Duh. We can't stay in one place too long. C'mon, Weiss. There are cameras everywhere. They'll track us down in no time if we linger too long."
Weiss rubbed the bridge of her nose and sighed. "What was this place again?"
"Asherah. On the eastern end of the country. Figured that would be a good place to start."
The heiress bit the inside of her cheek and looked around the mall. "When do we leave?"
Ruby pressed a few things on the hologram, swiping away screens and opening up new ones before closing the interface entirely with a grin. "Two hours. Plenty of time to gather some supplies."
A/N: This is a part of my Futurist (I still don't have a proper name for it) AU that none of you have seen yet. I got the prompt on tumblr and wrote up something real quick.
