Mary wiggles to the floor again and crawls around, she yawns sleepily and keeps crawling around the room.

Mary looks angirly at Jake and shakes a tiny fist at him in disaproval.

"I have learn talk is silver, silence is golden, and a good ale is priceless." He says with a snort riddled chuckle.

Jake made a gesture, and Marie was suddenly wrapped tightly in a bundle, Jack walked over, and picked her up, preventing her from fleeing or unwrapping herself carefully. "Silence. I know you're smarter than your age would make most think, dragon-kin. Now I have influence with the government here, and I will decide which orphanage you arrive at. Stay silent, and it shall be a pleasant one, with food and care in plentiful supply."

Jake looks sceptically at the mage. Not many would use their magic for the good of others, preferring to lounge in the comfort of their perfectly ornate gardens and terraces. Then again, some went around and did good deeds to make themselves feel better about themselves, without making any difference. "Very well. How about two thousands african children starving? Hundreds dying from disease and illness over the country. War in Iran. How about starvation, plague, war, and death? Are those enough problems for you, or do I need to point them out on a map?"
supertinyking said
He feels her grow heavy, as if she were made of lead. Soon he drops her into the stretched out arms of Burt, who pulls her back."You talk a big talk, but you would send her off to those horrible orphanages. I mean I have seen many a poor child harmed in those places......I wish to make sure as many get good homes as possible." He says, looking a bit cross.
CreedTheChimera said
As if reading the man's thoughts, Miepolu responds after a bit of silence. "I have none of the wealth and power that most other magi have. I possess neither the magical nor physical prowess to make nor the status to aquire food for those children. While I can heal physical injuries, I'm afraid my healing does not affect those who are ill and disease ridden. As for war... I want nothing to do with such things."
thewizardguy said
As the child grows heavier, she simply disappears, reappearing in a cage hanging from the top of the wall. "Do not use magic to take the child from me, elf, unless you wish to start a fight. Using magic near me can easily be seen as attack, and none would question it if I killed you in self defense. This is a plain threat, my friend. Do not attempt to abuse your powers so again." Jake sighed, as his anger abated slightly. "I will send the child to a good orphanage of course. But I will not entrust it to an elf who mere moments ago attempted to kidnap her. Unless you can provide proof of your valiant intentions, I am afraid I must leave you out of this affair."

"I saw you control the beer. Control of water. With such a power, one could bring rain to the dry lands, save those caught in tsunamis and floods, solve oil spillage, and solve a number of illnesses involving the flow of blood. If you wish to claim inability, then you must first claim incapability of such magic. Are you a fool, to have not thought of these uses, or are you simply a fraud?"
supertinyking said
Burt smiles. "I have been going around for 250 years doing good, healing the sick and disabled to prime health. I am a traveling healer, and so far I have been looking for someone to continue on this trend after I am gone...because no one lives for ever. I simply wanted to make sure she ended up at a safe pla-" He starts to say before he rapidly puts a large mug into his nose and fire it out at high speeds, it shattering on something right behind Jake. A loud thud can be heard behind him a second afterwards."Nasal cannon...never fails or misses." He says with a grin.
CreedTheChimera said
"I am neither a fool nor a fraud. I have indeed saved people with the blood problem illnesses, and as for those problems, again, I am simply a weary traveler. Bringing rain to lands that are supposed to be dry would severely mess with the ecosystem, which I'd rather not upset. I do not hear of these other problems until long before it is too late to help." He still is matter-of-fact about it all, not seeming to be affected by the ridicule.
thewizardguy said
The mug disappears before reaching Jake, never hitting anything. He then looks at him squarely. "Was that a threat? You just used a potentially lethal weapon, sir. Do not make me doubt your 'good intentions' by attempting murder. Such violence is not the act of any form of healer, but of an aggressive youngster, who cannot take it when he is denied his wish. Spare yourself the embarrasment of continuing this, elf. I shall bring the child to the government, check for her legal guardian, and if there is none, place her in custody of an orphanage."

"Flood aftermaths last weeks on end. And the drylands have a sufficiency in rain, it falls in great quantities, albeit it falls rairly. The ecosystem would benefit from the water, as it would lay the foundation for plantlife, which would allow the soil to become fertile, which would keep moisture in the air, which would cause the rain to fall at more frequent intervals. Do not make assumptions on subjects you do not know about." Jake decides to test the man's good will. "However, if you are willing, I would be happy to enable transport to all forms of disaster locations, where your help would be in dire need."

He feels someone stab into his shoulder, and Burt curl up his arms and fires them at the man's attacker knocking her though a window."Assassin!" He roars as he leaps forward.

"Sure. Right after you give the kid back to the elf..." Miefolu replies. "Also, I imagine you look much like a fool right now, speaking to someone who isn't replying." There's a ghost of a smirk under the darkness as he giggles.
