While Aerilyn had been curled up behind the rock during the girl's outburst, she hadn't realized that had been shivering in fear. Just then Shida was above her and asking if she was alright and then proceeded to tell her that it was okay to be scared. This annoyed her slightly. [b]"I fear nothing."[/b] She ignored his offered hand and stood up herself. [i]What does he think I am? A child?[/i] She thought as she felt heat of a blush prickling at the back of her neck. Her porcelain white skin presented the blush of anger and embarrassment like a badge. She crossed her arms over her rather flat chest and that's when she felt a slight breeze rise up around her. She glanced around, wondering if it was just her who felt the breeze, but then she began to wonder if she had accidentally caused it. This gave her a tinge of hope for her powers. [i]Maybe I won't be miserably useless.[/i] With an icy look sent at Shida, she spoke, [b]"I don't know why you suddenly care about me, but I can handle most things on my own."[/b]

She then looked at the others before she said her own addition to the strategy, [b]"So we've all come to an agreement over splitting up and splitting their forces. Now we are presented with the problem of bystanders and families. Alas, we can't protect everyone, but there may be a way to wheedle out which of them are which."[/b]. She shrugged. [b]"The Vygorns are bound to have meetings. We'll just need a reason for them to meet up. One or two of us are going to have to be bait. If they cause enough trouble, the Vygorns are bound to have to gather and discuss it. That's where the rest of us would come in. If we split up around the two cities, using our spirit friends as well, we can perhaps find their meeting place and take them out in one spot."[/b]

[b]"It's messy, but it will limit innocent casualties and get rid of the Vygorns that are actually up for the fighting. The others, whom are not fighting or strategizing, are not worth our time at the moment. We can make them our last sweep."[/b]
