The Two Sides

<Snipped quote by jaywing93>

Fabine steps back next to Vera. "Seriously stop standing there like a fool. Give me orders or we both die." He hisses, getting irritated. The more time he spent glancing at the Rabins, the more seemed to appear. He growls a bit, holding his knife out at one that was getting too close again.

@Fionraella

Vera turned her glare to Destin. "Look, Destin... This isn't the best atmosphere for talking things out. Just come back to the Brom camp and she won't get hurt," she warned, gesturaing to Aya.

The Two Sides

@Fionraella @Hawksnest565

Vera watched all the chaos unfold but kept a firm hold on the Rabin leader. She had remained calm and cold for the most part, but couldn't help her eyes widening when Destin rejected the Broms. She gritted her teeth and narrowed her eyes, praying that this was simply a joke. I definitely didn't come all this way to look like a fool and lose our treacherous healer, she thought bitterly. She shook her head fiercely. He's being ridiculous. We just need to bring him home and he'll snap out of it. Vera eyed all of the Rabins that had arrived suspiciously, but felt comfortable with the hostage in her arms.

Sacha scowls and disappears into the healers tent. "Cmon Destin." She gently shakes him awake.

@Fionraella

Vera raised an eyebrow in response to Aya. "And why do you all suddenly take such an interest in our healer?" she pointed out with hostility. "Destin should be able to speak for himself about what he wants to do." She watched with subtle satisfaction as Sacha left to fetch him.

"He's in our healers tent. He's sleeping right now." Sacha says calmly. "Now that we got that figured out, I ask you to release my healer and leave my camp."

@Fionraella

Vera breathed deeply and let out a short, dark laugh. "I don't think you quite get the whole picture, oh great Rabin leader. We came to retrieve our group members. Our healer. And I promise you, we're not leaving empty handed." She sneered, and glanced out of the corner of her eye at Fabine to see if she'd covered everything.

Sacha frowns. "Misha disappeared, along with one of our members. I already talked with some Broms at the river. You being here is pointless. "

@Fionraella

Vera gritted her teeth frustratedly at her lack of cooperation. "What about Destin?" she shot back.

The Two Sides

@Fionraella@Hawksnest565

Vera held Aya tightly, tightening her grip slightly everytime the girl tried to wiggle free. She narrowed her eyes at the Rabin leader. "We're here to retrieve our two groupmates you've kidnapped," she growled, "and we're ready to use any means necessary to bring them home safely."

Fabine nods and follows, eager to mess with Sacha. She was such a righteous fool it wouldn't be hard.

@Fionraella

Vera followed the source of the voices right to the source until she could make out the color of their clothes through the trees. She positioned herself behind them, and glanced at Fabine to make sure he was ready as well. She gave a quick nod, and stealthily crept towards the pair, and finally broke into a mad dash when she got close enough, quickly grabbing Aya in a firm, but not painful, chokehold.

Fabine nods. "Sounds like a plan. Do you have a backup if she doesn't cooperate?" He asks, pulling out his dagger.

@Fionraella

"We take Aya as our own prisoner until she changes her mind... Or until her group members start dying without a healer," Vera muttered. She strung her bow onto her back and began hustling silently towards the voices.

<Snipped quote by jaywing93>

"You actually want me to do that?" Fabine raises an eyebrow then shrugs. "Just tell me what I need to do."

@Fionraella

Vera nodded. "You said you hated her to a point that clouded your judgement. The same is probably true of her." She paused and reminded herself that this was still her mission. "I'll grab Aya and start talking with Sacha, but I think it'd be best if you arrive at the same time as me and keep Sacha at bay with your dagger," she instructed. "If she's not cooperating, I'll signal you, and try guilt-tripping. Convince her to trade us our prisoners for their healer."

"Goad her how?" Fabine asks. "It could work, I really doubt Sacha would keep prisoners at the expense of her own group mates life."

@Fionraella

Vera chuckled softly. "Well believe it or not, Fabine, you have a way with getting under people's skin and causing them to act quite irrationally," she pointed out, but said so in a gentle way. "Just make sure she does what we say."
