(Lol I feel like they'd still be confused, especially little Nora. She'd ask questions, just for the sake of using her voice.)

"There's a fire elemental. Flames and nature don't mix well." Gerald said breathlessly as he spotted Leah, well a hidden Leah.

Liz hesitated. She had no idea what this noble was doing or why he was doing it. It wasn't normal for nobles to just invite thieves to their home on a whim. For all she knew, he could have been up to something. He had his chance to capture her though, so there was no point in luring her into a trap. And a meal and a place to stay for one night sounded quite appetizing. Sighing, Liz reluctantly followed behind him.

"Three more coming in." Blake called out to Thea. He didn't want her to be taken by surprise. It looked like two ice elementals and another fellow who he couldn't identify. He looked like an Earth elemental but Blake wasn't sure.

Wynne grimaced, Fire Elementals were always unpredictable and hard to reason with. As he scanned the forest ahead he began to see more moving forms. Steadying his breath he straighten his back, moving forward with all the authority he could muster. "What is going on here," he demanded.
Nora approached a little less dignified, her back bent, and her lungs gasping for breath after trekking through the woods with her heavy garments. Nevertheless, she sent her piercing gaze across the clearing hoping to intimidate all those who looked her in the eyes.

Thea swore not quietly but not loudly either at Blake's news she turned her head to face the new comers and shook her head. Thea was outnumbered by Talvi by far. One Nature Elemental, and six Ice Elementals versus one Fire Elemental and a commoner. This was going to hell in a hand basket.

Eric fell back to walk beside her and Jake fell in behind them, still as confused as ever. Eric noticed that she had a particular scent but he made no comment on it. Some noblewomen had perfumes that were far more offensive to the nose after all and Eric had learned to handle those and this was no great challenge. "Tell me, what is your name?" Eric asked as they began the walk out of the alleyway.

Leah whirled at the sound of voices, seeing Gerald. She looked at who he had with him. "**** you Gerald! I thought you were doing something useful!" She sighed.

Blake stepped out from behind his cover and next to Thea after getting a better look at the new arrivals. He didn't recognize the two but he knew noble clothing when he saw it. "Careful here, those two are from one of the houses." He whispered to her.

Thea narrower her eyes at the nobles standing before them. She balled her hands into fists, and heard the sizzle of sparks that hit the wet ground below them that fell from her hands. She made sure she was close to Blake, keeping him away from the Ice Elementals and the Nature Elemental. "I figured someone was coming soon." She whispered back.

Nora cursed underneath her breath as they were ill-recieved. Shuffling through her silks she once again let her fingers wrap around the familiar hilt of her dagger. "What do you think you're doing!" She repeated her brother, trying to portray an air of nobility that she lacked. "Are you trying to destroy the forest?"

Thea drew her lips into a tight line before answering the noble. "That wasn't my original intention, but I can't exactly help it." She said in as calm of a tone as she could muster. Although, it was very difficult. They were Talvi too, she didn't need to ask.

"Of course they are, it's what fire elementals do best. Destroy things." Leah said with venom. Gerald gave her a small look. Her anger never helped situations.

Liz wouldn't look at him. "Call me Rags," she muttered. She didn't think the noble would recognize her real name, since the Jane family had their farm somewhat far away from the town. Even so, it would be good not to mention it. She wanted to put her whole family incident behind her. "It's what the tavern keeper yells at me anyways."

"Milord, milady we were just on our way back to town. I assure you this is all the result of a misunderstanding." Blake said, stepping forward with a well practice bow. He figured his Ice elemental like features might make them more prone to listen to him than Thea. However it was clear that they had a lot of credibility to make up if they were going to get out of this.

"Well then what we're you doing picking a fight in a highly flammable forest?" Wynne asked sharply, having no doubt in his mind that the unpredictable Fire Elemental had inciated the brawl. "Typical," he hissed under his breath. Nora laid a hand on her brothers shoulder trying to help him keep his calm. Though her bias had her agreeing with his beliefs, she knew that it was best not the point the blame on any one individual.

Thea raised an eyebrow accusingly at the nobles. They shouldn't even be nobles, those dirty no good Ice Elementals. "I didn't choose where to fight. It was these idiots who were about to trespass on Fire Elemental lands. I was protecting my Clan." She argued. Although, they probably wouldn't believe her. There would obviously be biased opinions when it came down to it. And more one sided opinions than facts.

Leah was glad Gerald had managed one thing right. He picked good nobles. Leah didn't plan on interfering if things were going to go their way. Gerald looked at the group opposite of them. They were outnumbered by ice which was good, bit it could make someone desperate.

"Well its not much of a proper name but I suppose it will do for now. Tell me Rags, do you know how to ride a horse?" Eric asked, Dima, the third servant, would likely stay in town to finish the errands that Eric had joined in on but it would be quicker to get back to the manor if they could borrow Dima's mount for 'Rags' and just send Dima another beast back from the stable.

"Did you at least try and talk through it before jumping into fight mode though?" Wynne demanded angrily, his easy demeanor slipping away. It wasn't usually like him to lose his temper, but he always found it difficult to talk with Fire Elementals. Nora, bit her tongue holding back a sharp scolding for her brother, knowing that he knew better than to provoke the easily provokable.

"My lord surely you can see the numbers aren't with us. We would have been foolish to start this brawl." Blake tried to explain in a calmer voice than Thea was using. He could see that this wasn't going well and that Thea getting angry at it wasn't helping. He hoped that he wouldn't have to try and physically restrain her as he doubted that would go well.

Liz had learned how to ride donkeys back at her family's farm, so she supposed she could ride a horse. "I guess," she said, once again surprised by the offer. But it made sense to use horses to get back to the manor faster.

Though Wynne was aware of the others talking around him his focus remained on the opposite elemental. He figured she was the biggest threat and if he could neutralize her, then he could end the fight quicker. Nora however, acknowledged the boy with a slight nod, hoping that he could see that she understood him.

Thea shook her head and gave a sarcastic laugh, "Are you suggesting I can't be civil?" Her tone was raised, but not to a point where a noble could consider it an insult. Although, it did sound like a challenge. "And why is it that you blame me first? Their numbers are greater than my own: 2 against 4. Who says they didn't start this?"

(Does this look good? Nerida : Female : 17 : Water Elemental : Nerida is a tall, wiry girl standing at about 5'9". She has all the elegant features most female water elementals share, but they are more subtle. She has eyes that are a blue-green, almost teal color, and as her surroundings change, one or the other color is brought out more strongly. She also has long, light brown hair, which she usually keeps tied back in a thin braid. Her skin is light, yet still well-tanned from years out in the sun. As for clothing, Nerida usually wears whatever she comes across, without much discretion as to what that something is. She prefers tighter clothing for is practicality in maneuvering and stealth, but if it comes down to it, she will just as easily wear a dress to fight. : Nerida often comes off as aloof or disinterested, simply because she doesn’t care what others think. She’ll listen to others, but if she doesn’t think what they’re saying is right or perhaps better than what she thinks, she’ll simply ignore them. This leads to several instances in which she indirectly offends others she knows. However, her disinterest in other opinions has also lead to a firm belief in herself and her instincts. She will almost undoubtedly follow what her gut tells her, even when her head might say otherwise. Instincts are what have allowed her to survive for so long; she’d have to be stupid not to follow them. Nerida tends to stay collected most of the time, however, not blindly succumbing to any anger or frustration she may feel. She also is surprisingly antisocial with nearly everyone but her closest friends- and she has very few of those. : Nerida’s been alone for nearly as long as she can remember, excluding a thin period of time when she was a small child. She has no idea who her parents are, or who her elemental lineage came from. She's been surviving on her own from a very young age, struggling to live and figure out her powers at the same time. Now she wanders, usually following the path of winding rivers or streams as she goes. From her seclusion, she's grown more removed from the elemental conflict, and is more likely to mediate between fights than take a side- If she feels like revealing herself to the group at all. : StarryDreamer)
