The market

[Maero]

The Muse was in the same place as she was before. Neko was just outside the tower in a fancy lounge, locked in a large cage with a golden shackle around her ankle. She wore a soft purple robe like garment which framed her body perfectly and made her look very beautiful and sexy. The cage she was in was tall enough for her to stand, and was shaped like a bird cage, with a small bar for authenticity and for her to sit on. She sat there on the bar, singing beautifully to the guests there before her. They thought she was a prisoner, a prize Tiff had taken for herself in the world above, though it was all for show of course. Neko was happy to sing for others, and so the trade off was even and helpful. Alex would arrive just as she finished her song and the guests began to leave, talking about how much they would like to purchase the angel for themselves. Alex had the key to her cage and shackles, and could remove her whenever he wanted, though it would be best if no one saw him do it. Less questions that way.
