[color=fff79a]"I didn't know you're good with children."[/color]  Lenwood teased Zypha, causing the young woman to give a little sigh on the inside.  [color=92278f][i]"Keep joking like that and I might punch your lights out."[/i][/color]  She thought, then the parents came out to protect their daughter, hugging her and begging for her to be spared.  [color=92278f]"Yep she defintely has it better than I did."[/color]

Zypha got off the ground and brushed the dirt off her pants as Lenwood tried to calm the people down.  The he saw him panic and turn to face her his eyes pleading like a lost puppy.  [color=92278f][i]"You're kidding right?  You're asking me to take care of this?"[/i][/color]  Zypha's face scrunched up in disbelief, then relaxed as she gave a long sigh, a huge puff of wind escaped her lungs.

Well there was only one way to go about this then...make a scene.  [color=92278f]"Took your asses long enough to show up, ya bunch of cowards!"[/color]  She raised her voice for as much of the town as possible to hear.  "Well at least one family has some guts," she grinned at the man and his daughter.  [color=92278f]"I see the look in your eyes and I know it all too well, you've given up and lost all hope it seems.  Well fine, I don't give a crap what you guys do every time someone comes here to take advantage of ya, but one thing I can tell ya.  You can either cower all ya want in your little hovels or you can all get to work and open up shop right now!  So what's it gonna be?  You gonna stay and home and let us just take whatever the heck we want or are you actually gonna give us some service and sell us your junk?  Just one look around tells me you guys can't survive much more of people just taking whatever."[/color]

Zypha felt was if she had just given the worst and most stupid speech imaginable.  It would have been easy pickings to just take whatever the heck they wanted but seeing that little girl, well it hit home to be sure.  [color=92278f]"Oh and if you're man enough to open shop don't try to jack up the prices cause I'll know!  We need supplies: foodstuffs, water, medicine, some wood to reinforce the hull, anything else of use for a voyage.  Now get to it or I'll just be rummaging around on my own for stuff!"[/color]

Yep, today she was a bit of an idiot.
