[i]“Oh for Lights sake…do I have to babysit [b]everyone[/b]!?”[/i]

Cursing and clutching her burned hand, Liaena turned to chase after Sathrielle and Bella, the former making every effort to make good her escape in the small amount of time allowed her due to the surprise attack. However, the girl barely took a few steps before she stalled, wide eyed – before starting to backpeddle, as several large, purple, Night Elf butts soared through the air towards her. 

Directly in the path of the flying butts, Sathrielle also stared up at the oncoming storm as if in a trance – before collecting her sense moments before impact to vanish in a faint ‘pop’ as Bella, now left alone, twisted around to search haplessly around for her erstwhile abductor. “Noooo! Take me too! Take – “

-THUDTHUDTHUD-

In a beautiful display of accuracy on behalf of the Night Elves, Bella disappeared deep into a purple butt as a Night Elf – who happened to be Aleena – crashed down on top of her. Liaena, who had stalled a few paces away, studied the place she had once been dubiously.

[i]“I suppose this way, I don’t have to listen to her any more. Silver lining?”[/i]

“By the Light…what just happened!?” Liam’s agitated voice came from behind her as he strode past Liaena to help up Kathlin. That girl appeared even more dishevelled than previously, but only slightly shaken as she let him pull her to her feet. “It’s all right dear. I’m used to it”

“She is” Liaena acknowledged this absently as she turned away…before swinging back with a frown. “….what’d you mean ‘dear’?”

“Hey RITHRYNN! Er…LIEUTENANT!” 

One of the sentinels that had gone off to commodore ships yelled from the deck of the biggest, flashiest sailing ship in the harbour, over towards Rithrynn and the group of elves and humans. “I got us a boat! See! And a….boat driver. Do we want it?”

To demonstrate her point she held up a very ruffled sailor in her other hand, the man having apparently accepted his fate and now hung limply in her grip. 

“That’s a bit…big” Liam ventured, standing just behind Rithrynn as he studied the war ship, all sails, and cannons, and requiring at least 50 men to crew it. Kathlin also followed his gaze as she stood beside him.

“Well, they are Night Elves. They’re big”

“Yes but…” Liam laboured on, anxious to make his point. “There isn’t any wind in here. How are we going to get out? Who is going to row...? …”

“……”

Liaena sighed, leaning over to speak to Liam quite slowly and elaborately, as though to a small child. “Don’t ask those kind of questions in front of the Night Elves, Gray. You might not like the answer”
