Liz had no idea what to do they were looking for. She didn't think that it mattered. She wouldn't have given it to them even if she had known. They were thieves that much was clear to her. She had seen their kind while she was imprisoned. She doubt that whatever they were looking for was really theirs. It was more likely they were recovering something for someone else or looking for something of value. 

She didn't know what the man near her planned to do. She had seen a few magic users since her arrest and his actions were similar to theirs. She couldn't allow the man to hurt the horse. The horse was only making noise because they were scaring it. While Liz wasn't able to stand up for herself she was more than capable of standing up for others. Especially those that couldn't stand up for themselves.

Liz shoved the man near her as hard as she could. Since his focus was on the horse and not her she was able move him enough that his shot missed the horse. Unfortunately she hadn't been able to move him far. He grabbed her arm and twisted it. His anger was clear on his face. Liz swallowed as pain shot through her. She didn't make a sound though. She knew she was in trouble. She accepted that this was her punishment. She didn't care as long as the horse wasn't hurt.
