Ethan agreed that knowing more about the others could be useful but he had no intention of going first. The whole thing became moot though when some guys with weapons stormed in. Serena once again impressed him by quickly and effectively taking away their guns without harming them. However since they might have either reinforcements outside or other weapons he still put his hands in the air.

Just then the water Elemental did something potentially stupid, apparently not having thought of the same possibilities he had. "Don't make them mad John. We don't know if their entire group is here or if Serena took away all their weapons." Ethan did understand how he felt but John was still taking a large and unnecessary risk in his opinion.
