Shida did not really know what to expect by putting himself in the way of trying to help this girl, but he couldn't shake the feeling that she somehow she shared his own burdens. Shida was a little shocked when she refused his helping hand, but then he knew that this was the way it had to be. "I fear nothing" Aerilyn said in a crass tone, she got up and crossed her arms and gave him a look that bit into him. "I don't know why you suddenly care about me, but I can handle most things on my own." Shida just looked at her.. bad thoughts arose for moment [i]Prissy little..[/i] but he knew that saying anything like that would be a mistake. One thing he did know well about people was that if you wanted someone to like you, you had to let them have their own pride. His face twinged a little bit, "I'm sorry if I offended you, but I needed to be sure you were ready to fight." He turned his head away from her. "You seem fine to me, so.." [i]he paused for a second almost looking as if he was in pain[/i] "Good luck out there. We're all going to need it if we want to come back here alive." Shida began to walk off towards the other group discussing the plans. He felt a weight pulling him back in the other direction, but he forced himself to walk away.

When he arrived to the others, they were in the middle of discussing battle tactics on how to gain the favor of the human population in the encampment, as well as luring the Vygorns out into the open. He listend to the entire plan, but he was worried that focusing so much on saving lives might get one or some of them killed, but tried to repress his conventional instincts as much as possible for now. [i]I suppose there wouldn't be any point in killing all the Vygorns if the entire planet thinks were the bad guys afterwards..[/i] Still, Shida had his reservations, and saving everyone certainly wasn't his number one goal here. He was more excited to test out his abilities on a full blown scale. Although he didn't like the risk, separating the Vygorns and the humans tactically held some advantage, less things to kill. That is, if we could pull it off.

"I have a request as well as an observation. I would like it if Beau, our electrician, would accompany Cora and Aerilyn, I believe his ability's would be ideal for adding to the storm you're brewing against the Vygrons."
"As far as luring out the Vygrons goes, Cora, ill take you up on that offer, as much as we appreciate your dedication, I think a large pillar of fire should do the trick."
"Also, after I've lured them out Will, Gilfred, and Creepy dark eye-patch kid. Then Kimberly, Thema, and Myself should break into two teams of three and attack the group of Vygorns from both sides while you and your team advance through the storm and block them from retreating back the to encampment." 
"It will be like shooting fish in a barrel after we herd them out, not to mention they'll have almost no idea whats happening until we're already upon them."

He then turned to Thema and Kimberly.
"Regardless of what you may think of me Thema, Kimberly, our abilities will naturally complement each other on the battlefield, and I do hope that we all come back from this unscathed."

"Also, who's that guy with the dagger standing over there?"
