"....great." Kai muttered.

"Oh, wonderful." Adym mumbled.

They then stood up, making sure their hands were where the person could see them.

"All right, all right." Adym said.

"Easy, there. No need for people to get hurt." he went on.

"Just tell us what you want." he continued, trying to feign ignorance and make them think they were trying to cooperate.

They didn't say anything at first, looking the three of them from head to toe. Callie and Adym had their hair hidden - their streaks, specifically. Kai on the other hand....

"Go! To the others." they barked an order at them and motioned, roughly, with the gun.

As they walked though, as the three of them weren't stupid enough to ignore an order like that, from someone like this, they barked out things to another who started walking with them.

And Callie, being at the back, heard one word she didn't want to hear.

crux. As they were motioning to Kai.

They noticed the streak of blue, and it wasn't hard to come to that conclusion. They jsut had to figure out what the hell it was that they were going to do now.

Adym's ears had heard the word as well.

'Damn it.' he cursed internally.

'What do we do now? Come on, THINK!' he barked at himself internally, as he wracked his brain for an answer.

Meanwhile, Ceth and Xeri had been hiding as best they could, but from where they were, they saw Callie, Adym and Kai being 'escorted' to the others.

"Crap." Ceth growled.

"That's not good." he said.

"Xeri, we need to do something, and fast." he told his sister.

"I know." Xeri responded quietly.

"I'm not sure what though. " She added, watching what was going on, and thinking about it.

"Actually... we need to find somwhere we can set up as safe for now. I might have an idea."

Ceth was quiet, before looking at her.

"Oh?" he asked.

"Cool." he said.

"We should be able to slip by them, and perhaps use a room that they've already searched." he suggested.

"They won't think to look where they've already looked."

Xeri was silent for a moment before listening to the sounds around them, the cries, the orders, everything.

". . . they're going through rooms now." She then said, referring to the sleeping quarters, at least from what she coudl hear.

"If we hold out for a little longer, we can get those that we're trying to protect down into our cabin Without detection. Hopefully." She added.

"My question though... is where the hell is Sara?"

"....yeah." Ceth whispered.

He then looked around.

"And I... don't know..." he admitted.

"Should one of us look for her?'' he asked.

Meanwhile, Karivyn and Sara were in one of the rooms... one they had randomly ducked into... with the former readying his bow and arrow.

"Just let them try and take you." he said.

"I've never killed a human before, but there's a first time for everything when you're a warrior."

". . . we really should." Xeri agreed.

"She's only a child..." She trailed off before sighing.

"At least we should be able to move without detection." She added.

"Meet in our room?" She asked

Ceth nodded.

"Meet in our room." he agreed.

He then paused, and looked around.

"Should we find Sara and her guardian first?' he asked.

"And if so, who's searching for them?" he asked further.

"Considering how large the ship is. I was thinking we would both try and find them." Xeri commented.

"Meet there in an hour." She added after a couyple seconds. When he agreed, they part ways to find their targets.

And Xeri was hoping that they found them before those that were there to cause problems found them. She was sure that wouldn't go well if that happened, and didn't want to find out how right (or wrong) she was.

Ceth started to look as well, but kept checking up on Callie and co, to make sure they were all right.

'REALLY hope those seekers don't hurt them...' he thought.

Meanwhile, Xeri was checking rooms, until she stopped at a specific one.

She paused and opened it... which ended up being a mistake.

That was the room that Karivyn and Sara were hiding in.

And the centaur had taken that door opening to mean an enemy was coming... and so he let an arrow fly towards her chest.

Xeri was silent as she ducked out of the way. Her reflexes were most definitely better than one might expect - but maybe not if one took into consideration what she was. She managed to avoid a fatal shot, but the arrow did hit her arm, and pretty solidly at that. Thankfully, the head wasn't completely embedded though.

She quickly closed the door, leaning against it on the outside, and took a few steadying breaths.

"You going to shoot again?" She called into the room.

There was silence on the other side for moment.

"...no!" she then heard.

And she heard a LOT in that word.

Specifically, she heard surprise, guilt, concern, outright worry...

It was clear Karivyn was feeling quite sorry for what had just happened.

Odds were that Sara wasn't too thrilled, either.

Xeri took a second before quickly making her way into the room.

"Hello again." She said with a smile, and a soft wave.

"Your reflexes are beautiful, Karivyn." She added after a moment or two, sincerity to her words. She wasn't taking it as an outright attack on her, as she was sure it wasn't.

"Sara, how well can you control your flames and heat?" She then asked the child.

". . . really wel..." was Sara's reply.

"You feel like helping me out? I risk making a mess - and that really wouldn't be good - if you don't cauterise the wound for me." She added. Sara paused a moment. It wasn't something she hadn't done before - as she'd been asked previously - but it was something she wasn't entirely keen on doing. After a few seconds though, she nodded.

"Good. Thank you." was all Xeri said before taking the arrow out, appreciating that it wasn't fully stuck in. Only an inch and a half or so, enough for it to have enough purchase to stay with her easy movements. Once it was out, she tore and cut her sleeve with the sharp arrow head, before approaching the child who was on Karivyn's back.

"If you would be so kind." She said. Sara was obviously hesitant, but did so without much hesitation. It took a couple minutes, but eventually, she was done.

"Thank you. Stings like hell, but I know that'll fade." She added before pausing.

"Ah! Right. The reason I'm here" She then said before pausing.

". . . may not entirely work well." She admitted.

"what do you mean?" Sara asked, her tone curious.

"well... I know I can get you to where my brother and I are going to collect people to keep them safe, but... not sure I can carry a centaur." Xeri admitted, looking to Karivyn.

Karivyn remained quiet throughout the entire interaction, only speaking at the end.

"Tell me where." he said.

"I will get there, myself." he told her.

"These ruffians are nothing compared to my might, and in these small corridors, they cannot adequately gang up on me, or surround me." he went on.

"As such, they would be lining up to be taken down." he concluded.

"So just tell me where you'll be taking her, and I shall follow."

"Karivyn!" Sara exclaimed as she just held onto him.

"I don't want to leave you behind." She added.

"He'll be all right." Xeri assured him.

"Because he's right. He really does have hte upperhand here." She added before pausing and looking to Karivyn.

"Don't get shot." She then told him.

"as for where..." She paused a moment, thinking about where she was going exactly, and relaying the information to him.

"we're a bit below where we are here. But I can get her there super quick." She assured the centaur.

"Do you want me ot come back to help?"

Karivyn was was silent for a moment, before gently holding onto Sara in return.

"No." he responded.

"If it would be too cumbersome, potentially, then don't." he told her.

"Do what you need to do, and avoid detection." he went on.

He then looked at Sara, kindness in his eyes.

"Don't worry." he said.

"We won't be separated for long. I promise." he assured her.

"You trust me, yes? Well, I trust Xeri and her brother. Do you?" he then asked.

"If so, allow her to take you quickly to safety."

It wasn't hard to tell that sara was hesitant, but she did trust the twins. She knew that they were like her, and she knew that they were in as much danger as she was because of it.

"We will see you soon, Karivyn." Xeri said as she got Sara onto her back.

"Keep in mind, they have guns. Please don't get shot." She said before heading to the door and peering out carefully, wanting to make sure no one was out there.

Karivyn readied his bow and an arrow again.

"I can shoot as well." he said.

"And, as I'm sure you're now aware, I have far better aim with these, then THEY do with their cumbersome firearms." he told her.

"Now go." he told the two of them further.

"I'll catch up soon." he said.

"I promise." he finished, directing that more towards Sara.

Xeri paused as he started talking before pulling herself back into the room and closing the door, to prevent anyone overhearing any of it by chance.

"Yeah, I am aware of that." She agreed with a light laugh.

"Still stings, too. But that just speaks to the quality of your shot." She added.

"We shall see you soon." was all Xeri said. Sara didn't say anything, not wanting to for the moment. Xeri peered out the door once more to make sure no one was there, before seeming to vanish in a bit of a subtle flash of light. Her form remained for a fraction of a second, before it faded as well.
