Sider's Entrance (open)

[Mathew Amtrum]

Mathew's gaze drifted to the stranger. If looks could kill the man would die where he sat. He said no word and turned back to his apprentice.

"So you are not a Dragon, or a Dragon gang member. Yet you decided to escort a stranger, in a time of war through our territory where they can scout. And to the house of one of the commanders of the Dragons. Not only that, but the house of your master and you assume that is all fine?"

[Malcomb Warhazzard]

"So i'm guessing that's a 'no' on the drink? Believe me 'Earth Dragon' I am here on peaceful terms"

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

Rai would move out of the way so as to hopefully not be caught up in the wrath of his master if and when he did something to Sider, and would answer his master.

"Sorry, I honestly didn't think he was that big of a threat and if you want I will deal with him now."

[Mathew Amtrum]

"I'm not."

He said as he raised an arm and pointed it at Sider. The stone that was coiled around his body shot out at lightning speed to slam in to the man's chest with all of the force his Qi could muster. He was lucky Mathew kept it blunted instead of impaling him right there.

"Him being a threat is beside the point. The problem is the rocks that you have rattling about in your head. You need to think before you act. You are not a free man right now. Learn. Your. Place."

[Kyrie Blaze]

'Mathew isn't.' She thought at the same time as he said it.

And now was a good time to actually shift on her feet to look over from her wedged spot at the corner of the roof, just catching the attack, and raising an eyebrow without so much as a wince.

'You would have thought Rai would have learned even a little since I nearly conned the supply boxes right out from beneath his nose... I mean, really, what have we been doing these past few days?'

Pissing off Barker, that's what. And then this guy just collapses at the edge of Dragon Territory.

[Malcomb Warhazzard]

Sider did nothing to stop the incoming attack. and as a response coughed up blood. "well, i suppose...*cough cough*...that my welcome here has run out, would...*cough*...you like me to leave now 'Earth Dragon'" Sider said smiling. his hood had slung back so the others could see his face.

[Mathew Amtrum]

Mathew let out a piercing whistle.

"Kiyr! Get down here right now."

His eyes shifted between the two men that held his wrath.

[Kyrie Blaze]

'My cue.'

Kyrie was up from her position, unquestioningly sliding down the roof before jumping lightly off and landing in a crouch, her frosted blue eyes impassive. She only flicked them to the stranger at their feet, then at Rai, before looking up at Mathew, to her left.

"Sir." She spoke once, brisk and to-the-point, with a soft but questioning lilt underneath the firm word.

Once again she had placed herself on Mathew's right.

[Mathew Amtrum]

"Take the new comer to the edge of our territory. Before I decide to destroy him for Rai's mistake."

Mathew didn't care about the scar on the man's face or his eyes. Mathew had seen his fair share of freaks and scars through his life. This was nothing so strange to him.

[Malcomb Warhazzard]

Sider carefully stood up, still weary from his travels and recently injured turn to Kyrie.

"alright Kyrie, you take the lead then."

Sider gave one last glance to the earth dragon.

"Nice meeting you 'sir', guess i'll take a rain check on that drink huh?"

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

Rai would raise an eyebrow at Sider and shake his head.

"Fuck off, I'm prolly already dead, so get before you join me."

Looking at Kyrie.

"Careful now, I don't want my most favored friend and rival to get taken down by the scary bald guy named Apple."

[Kyrie Blaze]

. o O ( Just a note, Sider, you only know her as "Kiyr", not "Kyrie". C: )


"Consider it done."

Her gaze fastened on Rai again, just for a second, with a clear look of disappointment. The three words she wanted to say, she would say later. Her objective was clear.

Blue eyes fixed themselves on the stranger.

"Can you walk? Get up."

Well, he got up. But if he couldn't move on her own, she wouldn't sigh, but she would offer a hand, an arm, her body to lean on should he actually be unable to walk under his own power. He'd taken a severe blow. He was lucky blood was all he was coughing up.

There was no pity.

She glanced over to Rai, but said nothing, again.

Raikotsu obviously thought he could make a joke in a serious situation? The guy was cannon fodder, in her eyes.

[Mathew Amtrum]

Mathew just kept cold eyes on the stranger. Not answering his obviously silly question. He hadn't known it when he met Rai, but by going this deep in to Dragon land he was making a huge mistake.

OOC: Blaze, Kiyr, and Rai can continue here so we don't fully steal his thread.

[Malcomb Warhazzard]

(ooc: yeah i misread the post matt made, my mistake)

"i'm good enough to stand and walk on my own, let's just take it slow okay?"

[Kyrie Blaze]

"Come."

And Kyrie would walk along, letting Sider keep a step ahead of her, and slightly to the side. There was no way she was letting him at her back, where she couldn't see them. The reasons against that were endless.

"Set your own pace, but keep your eyes ahead."
