[i]"We could definitely make powerful allies in this fight. I'm all in."[/i] Cora nodded, feeling the slightest release of tension. Aerilyn was impossible to read, her and that flawless face. But, priding herself in the ability to fly blind, Cora offered a partnership. [i]And she agreed.~ This might actually work.[/i] Everyone looked a little concerned for their lives after the Luce incident, including Cora. She hadn't felt anything strange in particular about her own powers yet, nothing that would hint to rouge powers. But then she had to take into consideration that most her life the element within her slept. She had little practice, but Ice seemed to come to her naturally. What her limit was, she had no idea.  Beau, visibly shaken but focused, continued when the dust settled. [i]"I still think that a two, even three pronged approach is the way to go though, It better masks our starting point, it splits their forces and focus, and generally the smaller the group the easier it is to be stealthy, which makes our lives endlessly easier, so I guess the question is, whats your theory?"[/i] [b]"Glad you asked. Only the Vygorns know of humans with supernatural powers. I'm not sure what their protocol is, but if something say... A huge fire twister -- the mix of you, Aerilyn, and a fire element -- were to pop up in town, without any evidence of people actually making it, I believe the guards will be too occupied barricading off the place. The Vygorns, not wanting to take chances, will scour the barred off place themselves in search of us.  "They'll want to hide the Elementals existence for as long as possible so the people don't build up hope, but there's more. They'll also want to see with their own eyes that the Elementals freely exist and are fighting back, yada yada ya... It'll likely only work once, they'll smarten up and use humans to catch us at the next encounter, keeping themselves behind the lines.  "That is my theory for Riverdale, at least. I propose a team including myself, Aerilyn, and whoever else come to the site. We'll flush out the humans with a full-out blizzard (courtesy of Ice and Air), draw in the Vygorns, and take 'em out."[/b] Cora gave a cheesy smile and thumbs-up to Beau before rolling her eyes.  The Flora elemental didn't look so good. Cora assumed she was still freaked out by the whole 'eating ability' everyone's element had. If Cora had more time to think, she would be right there with her, wondering how any of this could get more screwed.  [b]"Hey, you alright?" [/b]Cora tugged lightly on Thema's sleeve. [b]"I think I heard your name was Thema, right? I just wanted to say thanks for earlier. You sure left an impression on Shida, one I'll never let that hothead live down."[/b] Aerilyn mentioned a very good point. [i]"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."[/i] Irys settled in the palms of Cora's hands, chilling them. [i]"What you're thinking isn't wise."[/i] Cora bit her lip, hesitant. But she shook her head. [b]"When the time comes, I volunteer myself as bait. Not that I can be in two places or anything, but I'd rather it'd be me than any of you." [/b] A loose smile played on her lips. [b]"Except Shida. He can be his own bait." [/b]
