The young water calgor worked around carefully, sincerly fearful of getting caught. Where was that old man? She could've sworn he was right behind them...

Emory watched as the small child fretted and figeted in her nervousness. He looked up and sighed. He was starting to find this really tiresome. "You know, if you don't calm down, you'll stand out evan more than you already have." He pulled his hood up over his hair but not far wnough to obskew his face.

Of course she had to get seperated with this guy...Trying to stop fidgeting was harder than it appeared. She needed to stay calm and collected. She was in the fire territory, so what. Ulp...this was a bad idea. Where was that old guy anyways? She glanced up at Emory and figured she should be wary around him. Something about him made her nervious, of course, he was a stranger to begin with anyways.

Emory decided to ignore the child at the moment while he looked around. He wondered if he could find that interesting young man who'd helped destroy the markets. The older but flamboint guy was interesting from a distance. He looked like someone who'd enjoy a little exersize.

Flynn payed the young vendor."Thank you sir."He paid the young boy, and turned around to speak to Shimmer. Only to find that she, and Emory were gone. He looked up and down the streets to find his traveling companions. Flynn eventually spotted them a block down the street. He slowly made his way to them."Ah there you two are."Flynn turned to Shimmer and showed her what he had in his hands. They were small firecrackers."Kids tend to like these the best..... here go nuts."He also pulled out a box of matches from his pocket."Do you want me to light them, or do you want to do it yourself?"He asked as he studied Emory rapid eye movement.'What are you up to boy?'Flynn thought to himself.

Emory noticed the elderly man's scrutany but passed it off as unimportaint. He glanced at the gift he'd given the girl and scowled in rememberance of the pranks his siblings would pull. Blaming him for all of them ofcorce.

Fire crackers didn't seem like a good idea...especially after what had apparently happened earlier.
"I'll save them for later," she said. The girl smiled softly and decided to put the fire crackers in her pocket for later. Just about this time though, she felt a grip on her arm and yelped when she was spirited away backwards quite a distance to.
She came face to face with a boy, well a teenager. He was looking her over. "Are you nuts? Staying here after what happened?"
"I-I don't know what y-you're talking about!" she stuttered, this really sucked, she couldn't use her powers to get this guy away from here, she'd be noticed.
Burner began to realize his mistake and released the girl immediately. "Damn, sorry about that, thought you were somebody else." Looking at her arm he noticed a slave branding. "Ah, I see. Escaped have you?"
Shimmer gulped, why hadn't she covered that more properly? Was he going to turn her in?
"There's a market not too far from here, they help slaves out," he said, pointing off in the distance. "This city has a no slavery policy, and they couldn't care less about the other territories half the time. I know I don't."

Flynn turned to see Shimmer be pulled back. He quickly ran to where she went and found a boy talking to Shimmer in soft tones."Is there a problem here?"He studied the young man."Would you like to explain why you grabbed my friend."

Burner snapped his head up and saw an old man standing there. "Nope, no problem," he drawled. "Mistook this girl for somebody else. Then I realized she was a slave." He shrugged afterwards as if it were no big deal.

Flynn smirked and placed a hand on shimmer's shoulder."Good, good. I wasn't looking forward to problems on this trip."He turned around trying to find Emory, but to no avail."And she is not a slave...... not any longer."

Burner rolled his eyes, "Just be careful, doesn't matter what you think, as long as that brand is on her arm if she isn't careful she'll be carted back off to her 'owner'." he said harshly.
Not that he was talking from experience, not himself anyways. One of their servants had been a slave, she'd been really good at hiding her mark, but one day at the market some jerk from another territory got her. His parents had tried getting her back, but the person who owned her didn't budge, no matter how much money was thrown at that guy. The selling of calgors had always gotten under his skin since, and if he ever saw a contractor, he usually set their happy little arse on fire. Of course he did that to most of the people who got on his nerves anyways.
"There he is!" Burner flinched as a voice shouted at him. Well, he probably should've kept moving after all. Several citizens where charging towards the group and Shimmer let out a gasp, it didn't look like they were going to stop. There wasn't enough room to avoid them either. Then she felt herself being scooped up by Burner and her hood being shoved over head to conceal her face.
"Alright! Nobody move!" he growled. Oh great, Shimmer was being used as a hostage, well at least the group of people didn't seem like they were going to trample Mister Flynn in their haste to reach Burner.

Emory had faded into the background as she saw Burner grabbed Shimmer. He laughed to himself as he looked onto the scene before him. He stepped out in front of the guy, now using shimmer as a sheild. "In trouble again so soon?" He asked retoricaly. "I would of thought after all that destruction the other day you'd lay low for at least a few days." He smirked as he talked to the older boy, blantantly ignoring the angry group of citizens.
"She resembles your little trouble making friend doesn't she?" He glanced at Shimmer and laughed again. "I made the same inferance you did. I figured she lied when she said she wasn't whom I thought." He yahned and turned to the flustered mob of disgruntled towns folk.
"I apolagize for what ever this lowly scoundrel did to displease you all." He addressed them, as he bowed deeply in respect. "But, please If possible I'd like to pay for any damages or other repremands you may desire?" He frased it as a question though his smile clearly stated that he was completely capable of clearing up this squable if he so desired. Be it with payment or be it by force.

What was this guy's deal? Burner rolled his eyes slightly, and Shimmer could do nothing but sit there and see how it played out.

Flynn just watched the exchange quietly.'This good kid is good at playing a crowd.'He saw the crowd talking quietly amongst themselves.'Better make them a better offer or this is going to get violent.'He readied himeself for anything thats was going to happen.

Emory grinned. ''Of course if you would rather just beat the boy and pay for everything yourselves..." He trailed of as he turned to leave. "It's truly none of my business." Emory knew this was a relatively poor neighborhood, so he felt it safe to dangle the bait a little. He found it amusing to manipulate people. He walked several feet away from the groups while the crowd argued amongst themselves. He stopped and faced the boy who still held Shimmer captive, his cloak opening to the crowd, showing his several deadly weapons he was all too familiar with. "By the way, what exactly did you do that has these people so riled that they even hesitate with that offer?" He mused not quite needing an answer. It was a puzzle he found funny. He smirked. ''Oh well, I was in need of a little exercise, In fact I was going to try and find you." He snickered a little. "Pity, a hunt would have been enjoyable."
