       Ashton held up his phone as a video played out on it. A video of him and flame in some far off land that probably wasn't a part of this new world. Aer kept her distance, but leaned in to see the tiny image playing out on the screen. It made noises, and everyone could hear Ashton, Flame, and his family. Some of the onlookers gasped, and spoke to each other in hushed tones. Aer smiled and closed her eyes.

        [color=FFDEAD]"Alright, I can see I was wrong to suspect you might be bandits."[/color] Her eyes shot open, and her smile had entirely vanished from her face. [color=FFDEAD]"You're cultists!"[/color] She pulled [i]something[/i] off of her back and held it in both of her hands. It was still covered in cloth, but at this point it was very evident it was a pole weapon of some kind. [color=FFDEAD]"No self respecting bandit would let you walk around with such a powerful magical device!"[/color]

	It would seem that Ashton has perhaps overlooked the fact that the video on his phone was only really proof to people who understood how a phone worked. Anyone in his old world would know how difficult it was to edit something like a movie on a phone. But this world understood magic, not electronics. The image on his phone could have been an illusion, a collection of tiny actors locked inside the phone, or a staged scene. It meant very little to people who didn't understand how it worked. Certainly it would be impossible to teach someone who was suspicious of you.  

	[color=FFDEAD]"Even if you're innocent, it's too dangerous for you to walk around without any sort of documentation."[/color] There was no mistaking it, she just slid her feet into a stance. [color=FFDEAD]"I'm not going to ask a third time, you will come with me. Now."[/color]
