Eira, after some time to recover and some help quieting the voices thanks to her father, she was back in a stable enough condition, now with just one thought on her mind, find the girl who did all of this and take care of them and their little operation. She had spent some time surveying areas and interrogating those left behind some before she had a location. With a grin and a hum she skipped towards the base with a crew her father had given her. It was going to be a good day in her opinion. She walked towards the building and gestured for the group to separate and prepare to enter and raid the place. The only thing she had to say was she wanted to deal with the girl from before. With that they braced and set up what was needed, before with a loud noise and cloud of smoke they entered the building, ransacking and taking down anyone inside. Eira however was behind the others her gaze sweeping the area and faces searching for a certain one and upon seeing it she grinned and moved forward swiftly, her hands glowing with mana.

Once again, I was standing in a room with the Red Rogue crew. The trinkets I’d stolen were pawned off to a Zeinavian trader, and used to buy toys, clothes, and other gift items, little by little over the course of the past few days. Tonight was a night to plan how the goods will be distributed. Winter’s Crown was just a few days away, and we were in a crunch for time. Spread out in front of us was a map of the city, the houses we would be delivering to and the places where we stored our goods marked out. There was a crash and the door was flattened. Either the authorities, or really inept thieves. Regardless of their intent, we mobilized. One of the mages deftly stored the map into their pocket space. Rei retreated, and moved to where this hideout’s storeroom was, while Trevor and another person, Lissa, retreated in different directions as a decoy. I stayed low to the ground, and a little behind as the others charged the intruders- who I could now see were soldiers. As the soldiers pressed further into the room, I noticed one that I recognized. It was the moon elf young miss that had given Trevor and I the skin disease at the warehouse just over a week ago. Our eyes met and I froze, hoping that I’d been the only one to notice her. She grinned and charged. Well, from what I know of her disposition, at least now I can be sure that she won’t target any of the others? I thought as I dodged her attack. Keeping in line with that thought- process, instead of running as I did in the warehouse, I made a grab at her arm and pivoted to try to get behind her.

They were right about that at least as eira rushed towards them, her hands aglow with the menacing dark aura as her gaze was set on the other, leaving the guards to take care of the rest for now. Wherever he moved or dodged she followed, getting close a few times and possibly hitting a time or two as she went. Considering she wasnt in a blind rage she was more dangerous, that was for sure. "come now lets play okay?" she asked as she swung her hand towards the other once again. "No cheating this time though, Make it a fair fight" she remarked as she continued her attacks making sure not to leave herself open for very long or very often, occasionally glancing around in a quick movement to make sure they had no interruptions in their little rematch.The way she talked was almost in a childish sing song tune when she spoke. To most it may just be a bit creepy or irksome but to those who knew here they knew it was more sad than anything else. So much trauma at such a young age and no chance to really heal or anyone to help her heal.

She dodged my hand and pivoted to meet me when I tried to get to her back. I could hear a scuffle happening a bit behind me, and saw another just beyond my opponent, so screaming and the using the sparkles would probably get then caught in the crossfire as well. The moment's inattention earned me a landed swipe to my chest. "Let's play!" She taunted me in an almost childish tone. It irked me to know that I couldn't do much more that play along. I refocused and then started to sing a tiefling chant- one of the few spells that only affected the user. All my efforts rewarded was a few notes followed by the urge to cough and a shortness of breath. I suppressed the cough, and regulated my breathing as I dodged more of her attacks. I can't run, I thought, but it wouldn't hurt to get somewhere more open. I tried to think even with a majority of my mind focused on not getting hit, but my preoccupied mind couldn't think of anything. There are too many civilians out on the street, I'll have to go all the way through the house to get to the roof, where else is there? Then it in hit me like a train. Why am I just dodging? There was a party trick I used to cheer up tantrum-y children. If this one wants to act like a child, then she'll be treated like one. I mimicked her, my hands starting to glow as well- a homey maroon- and I said in a slightly breathless voice, "Okay, let's play". I made a move to swipe her legs from under her and redirected her next attack with a slap to the wrist.

Eira gave a few more attacks as she followed the other through the building focused on her every move before hearing the other and grinning a bit. It had been a while since she had someone willing to take her up on an offer such as that so within a moment she began pushing harder with her attacks and upon noticing the others hands glowing a color of their own she stepped back a moment examining them before striking again having her wrist knocked out of the way. She then refocused herself and soon aimed a kick towards the others side in a swift movement trying to keep an eye on the others movements and actions to avoid being taken by surprise. She had been raised to be a weapon after all and it was all she knew and had left.
The guards on the other hand had wrapped up most of the other fighting for now and were trying to make sure no more chaos would spawn outside of what was already happening. They knew better than to stop eira as she would turn on them if she felt they had gotten in her way at all. She only followed her fathers orders

Hoooolyyyyy Ginma. Typically what happened was that I soothed the child, my hands did the weird glowing thing, and they calmed down. Then again, this wasn't a tantrum raising child, this was a bloodthirsty adult. I hadn't done much in the way of soothing her either, but it was kind of hard to someone who was seeking your death in real time. There were two ways to go about this. Method one was make it seem like you lost, and then either placate them and get under the opponent's guard, or guilt trip your way out. Method two was to establish dominance and set firm boundaries, either as equals or as a superior. The efficacy of each plan would depend on the objective and the mental state of the opponent, and my understanding of them. What do I know about this little miss? She doesn't seem to value set authority, based on how recklessly she acted during the heist. She seems to either be heavily emotionally driven, very proud, or both, seeing as she's going so far as to avenge something as relatively trivial as embarrassment. Considering that she still has me as her main target several days later, she knows how to hold a grudge too. She probably won't be placated by niceties, even if I were put into a position of weakness after letting myself be defeated. So how to make her play nice? She seemed to enjoy the 'playing' analogies, perhaps I could continue on that thought? I dodged and deflected the next few attacks, a crusty yellow appearing on my hands where they touched the purple aura. "What shall we play? Tag? Manhunt? Grounders? Ring Around the Rosie?" Be Jolly Notes about the game references: Tag is a chaseGrounders is also a chase, but considering Natsu can fly and it looks like Eira can't Ring Around the Rosie is a reference to the Black Plague, but here Nat is using it to refer to Eira's Corrupting touch Manhunt has a hiding and chasing aspect, including Natsu's stealth abilities

Eira stumbled a bit as the be jolly took some effect causing her to struggle to focus for a minute. she however was dead set on her goal and grinned hearing the idea of a game. It certainly caught her by surprise as most never went along with such things besides a few thinking they could live if they played along. This however was different. Her gaze met the others, for a moment losing focus from the be jolly, a look of fear and needing help peeking through her gaze as she had a clear mind for a few moments before the voices flooded back causing her to refocus on the attack ahead "oooh I do rather love tag~ Nice to know others enjoy such games as well~" she remarked as she stayed in range with the other but didnt attack for the moment as she tilted her head "How fast can you run?" she wondered allowed as she slowly straightened up and thought a bit before a count began "10...9...8...7..6...5...4...3...2...1" At the count of one she began moving towards the other again her hands flaming with the dark aura as she was ready to attack again

Okay, so that went well, I thought as I saw the way her movements stuttered for a second, and stopped attacking. "How fast can you run?" she asked. "Fast enough," I replied, and I left the I hope in my head as I bolted out the door. Outside, the door was surrounded, half the street blocked off knight steeds and wagon for the prisoners- my allies. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford to free them right now- right now, I needed as much space to trap and plan as I could get. I did take the liberty to break the wagon though. Sprinting over the remnants of the door, I vaulted over a charging soldier and jumped off the shoulder his fellow behind him. With an extra boost from my wings, I peaked at a decent four meters in the air before I slammed my 40 pounds of not-so-beefy-bird-little-old-me onto the part of the wagon that attached it to the horse, clawed feet chopping through the wood like an axe. Hopefully that'll buy me enough time to get them, or buy them enough time to figure out how not to get shipped to prison. The poor horse startled at the sudden tug on its harness, its rider almost flying off as it reared its front hooves. Meanwhile I ran away, making my through the crowds, getting a hold on my demonic aura to better blend in with the crowd and plot on how to subdue little miss handsy.

Eira ran after her with a grin after reaching one on her countdown "Ready or not...here i come"she called in a sing song voice and sprinted after the other. At the least she was rather agile and quick as surviving this long made it a necessity. Her eyes focused on the other as she followed though it was a bit harder with the crowd around. She knocked some people out of the way though as she tried to avoid losing the other. Sadly however after a good bit longer however she did indeed end up losing the other.
With this she huffed and moved to the rooftops walking along them and looking around for signs of her "little play mate" as she went. Her guard remained up and her smile never left as she hummed a little tune to herself at the idea of this little chase happening. It had been a while since she met someone so interesting to her and strong enough to play a few rounds. It was strange for her to be so excited and giddy almost like a kid making their first friend. She continued observing as she looked around waiting for signs of the other

With my cloak wrapped around my shoulders, I took a chance at looking back, checking out a peddler's wares and looking for her out of the side of my eye. It took me a little while to spot her in the crowd, but I did, while feeling at the spokes of an umbrella. She scanned the area - looking for me, and not going on a rampage. Good. She was going to find me eventually, but it was going to be on my terms. I put the umbrella back, thanked the peddler, and dipped into the next alley around the bend. It was just as populated as the main street, speckled with shanty houses, children and the unemployed. I walked up to a young tiefling man, probably only three or four years younger than myself and held out some copper. He stood up. "Keep an eye on the purple moon elf with white hair," half the coins dropped into his open palm "tell me when she gets close and I'll give you the rest". He nodded, and was off. I looked around, brainstorming and cataloging what I had at my disposal. There are so many ways I could just whip around and stab her- hell, I should have just done that in the first place. I blinked the thought away. No, murder is bad, I thought, but no matter how I cataloged through my arsenal, there wasn't a nice way to do it. The sparkles would catch at least two bystanders, the green soothing touch hadn't worked, and the song… Wait, I hadn't actually tried the song yet. It isn't perfect yet, but even so it has proven to be effective. Then again, the missy has a rather volatile mind. Better have a back up plan. Like jumping from the roof and stabbing her? my mind supplied. I wrinkled my nose. No, but the jumping from the roof is definitely an idea. I rummaged through my bag and pulled out a firework, my flute and spare cloak. I climbed up to atop the canopy of makeshift abode, before clawing the rest of my way up to the roof of the adjacent building. I slid on my belly and flattened my wings to hide and spread out my weight as I peered over the edge to where Eira was. Focusing on her, I lifted my flute to my lips and began to play. It was slow moving and colorful, using notes I hadn't really considered before in a combination that sounded uniquely like the chants of tiefling rituals. I though about what I knew of my hold on magics, my pursuer, and prayed to Ginma that she would turn and leave the city.

Eira looked around as she moved through the streets seeing no sign of the other. After a moment she moved towards the alley to get out of the flow of traffic and after one final look she began checking the alley keeping her guard up. Eira then paused, ears twitching as she heard the music looking up to the source she stepped toward the building before the effect hit her and she froze. Her eyes could be seen shifting from anger to scared and sad like a child as she began stumbling back covering her ears as she felt the voices grow louder. Before too long she let her head drop to look towards the ground and she soon collapsed to her knees whimpering as the voices continued to invade “I-I didn’t mean to… I wanted.. to help I just wanted to help” she muttered as she shook in a heap on the ground “I just wanted to be more than a jinx… I wanted to help I just wanted to help save him…. I thought I could… I didn’t want to be left behind again” she continued muttering to herself. She was blind to the actual world around her as memories replayed

Eh? I was a little confused when the little miss started to cover her ears and… cry? I couldn't see her face but the way she was trembling made it seem like it. There was a ring of people forming around her. Some concerned, some curious, and some likely pickpockets, hoping to swipe something from a civil guard. I kept playing as I got up, jumped off the roof and glided over to her. People parted as they realized someone was trying to land there, and with a deft movement, I sheathed my flute, pulled off my cloak and slammed my arms down as I fell on top of her, wrapping her in the cloak. I wrapped her firmly in my arms, and wrangled to tie it around her. People started to murmur. A kidnapping?an assault? A runaway? I laughed it off "Sorry for the disturbance everyone, the little one can be fussy some times". I turned my attention back to the guards woman."Shhh… it's okay baby, it's nap time, okay? Let's just go to sleep." I said, mind still in charachter of someone taking care of a child. "Big sis will take you back to your friends okay?" I murmured. It might seem counter-productive to send her back, but she really did seem hurt. I'm still not sure what exactly my magic does, and while I hope it seemed to work in subduing her, i hope that she doesn't suffer lasting injury. I'm also hoping that I'll be able to use her as a hostage to get my colleagues back.

Eira flinched at the arms around her but couldn’t move. Hearing the word sis however she froze “v-vi…?” She muttered trying to block out the voices “y…you came back…?” She questioned still shaking. There was confusion on her face as she shook her head “no..no you left- w..with vander I- didn’t mean to I just wanted to help I’m not a jimx I promise I’m not a jinx I just wanted to help- I don’t want to be alone again…” she muttered looking up. It was almost as if she didn’t truly see the other as her mind was fractured and stuck in the past. “I just wanted to help…” she replied weakly and sadly. Genuine emotion of hurt and pain was seen over her normal mask of anger and joy. Instead of a well trained mercenary she was just a girl who was broken and alone, one with no one and nothing to call her own. Her breathing was shaky as tears streamed but she was a bit calmer. She glanced up at all the people and flinched “m-make them go away vi… please make them go away…” she muttered clinging to the other

I tensed slightly when the little soldier suddenly grabbed me, knowing what those hands could do, but they just clung to me like a baby koala. By Ziev…I looked down at the swaddled bawling mess in my arms. I feel bad, taking advantage of her terrified fit, but it was also somewhat gratified that all the hard work I’d put toward acting and mental magics paid off. It was a weird mix. I debated whether or not I wanted to go forward with the hostage plan. I decided no- this one was way too volatile to be used as a hostage, and I don’t know when she’ll go all magic hands on me. So what now? I still needed to rescue and regroup with the other Rouges, and I couldn’t just leave her here… But there are other ways to use people as leverage. I shifted into a disguise- nothing drastic, just a little something to make my wings disappear and my feathers look like an up-do of silver white hair, while my facial features contorted into something older, and more set. I shook off my hood, revealing my new disguise of a pink tiefling in her mid-late twenties with braided silver locks styled and pinned around black rams’ horns. “Shhhh, you’re okay. I’m not …Vi… but who’re you trying to get away from, honey? Is there somewhere I can take you? If you’re just looking for a place to crash, could I take you to an inn?”. I hope she'll lead me back to her soldier friends, if I could get in amongst their ranks, I can drop her off with out a heavy conscience, bust out my guys and be on my way. If not... I should probably start thinking about another plan.

Eira looked up and pulled back a bit as her vision cleared a bit to see the other. She looked around hurt "She...she didnt come back...?" she whispered in a broken tone before shaking her head "No...can't go home until I finish my mission..." she frowned "Promised him I would stay with the dumb guards until then..." she shook. "I won't be l-left again" she grimaced. She was slowly beginning to calm down at least though she was still dazed and confused "I can't disappoint him.... If he leaves me too then what...what will I do..." she frowned shaking a bit "I need to tough out the last few days of this dumb guard mission and then I dont have to be around those moral idiots anymore" she remarked mostly to herself to affirm and relax a bit. She needed the resolve in a moment like this.
She then looked back up to the other "w-who are you? Why are you helping me?" she asked unsure as she move a little bit in the cloak "what is this...?" she questioned glancing down at the cloak and around "where am I?" she added trying to remember where she had been when her attack had happened
