What would happen in a second would make Ayita really shocked. She could understand why Cade didn't like Korvash calling him a kitty, and the tension between both were undoubtedly... palpable. But she would have never expected that Korvash would react like that to when Cade growled towards him... In hindsight, she probably should have expected such a big musclehead to react that way though...

Letting out a large, aggressive growl of his own, Korvash reached for his sword in response to Cade's actions, a hulking piece of steel with it's size comparative to Korvash's own. Almost the very second his hands wrapped around his blade's worn handle though, Inori's voice echoed as he swiped his claws through the air, making strange red chains appear from the ground, wrapping themselves around a helpless Korvash, preventing him to even draw his sword properly.

In a rather cruel display of power, Inori made the chains visibly squeeze Korvash's arm, pulling it further away from his sword, despite the green giant's protests. Although it appeared that they weren't really harming Korvash, Inori was clearly humiliating the green giant with his words. Seeing himself unable to get free from Inori's strange chains, Korvash finally gave up struggling against them. It was incredibly clear both on Korvash's eyes and his words that he wasn't satisfied with Inori's actions, something he made clear when he said he wouldn't be Inori's 'slave' anymore, walking away.

Presentiating such exchange, Ayita simply looked at both of them. While that made Inori's unwilingness to fight clear, it also made it clear that he was a very cold and whimsical creature, not sparing even his own underling when it went against his desires. Even though it made Ayita feel a bit safer nearby him for now, it only made it even clearer that blindly trusting Inori might be a terrible idea...

As he further developed in his previous explanations, he mentioned that most humans were able to use elemental powers in Avalia, saying that Ayita herself would discover her own powers with time. What Ayita herself didn't like that much to hear though was when he said that those powers often manifested themselved either in traumatic situations or dangerous ones... Maybe Inori's mischievous smirk made those words even more unnapealing in Ayita's ears, but there was no mistake to what he had said.

[color=ed1c24]"Shouldn't you go after him...?"[/color] Ayita asked, looking to Inori with wary eyes.

[color=ed1c24]"He [i]was[/i] your... underling, wasn't he?"[/color] she asked. While she didn't think that the word 'ally' would fit with Korvash and Inori's relationship, she had her doubts that 'underling' was any better.

After apologizing by what happened earlier, Cade brought another question worth thinking about... Korvash said he wouldn't be Inori's slave anymore... and it was clear by his own words and actions that he wasn't really that keen on the idea of being seen with a human. Now that he had nothing more to do with Inori though, nothing prevented him to sell them to the lich king, both their location and existence. In another hand, Ayita was somehow glad to know that she wasn't the only one that didn't trust Inori. While the information and help he had would be valuable for her, much like Cade apparently did, she didn't consider him as a long-term ally... At least not yet.

[color=ed1c24]"He does have a good point. If this Aklenroth really is that powerful, if he knew of our presence, it would make things much worse for us... or better... for [i]me[/i], right?"[/color] Ayita asked, looking both at Cade and at Inori. Despite them having agreed to help her, she knew that despite that, they didn't really HAVE to help her.

After tranquilizing them regarding Korvash's actions, insisting that there was no need to worry about him, Ayita ended up believing his word, after all, Inori did spend a lot of time with Korvash and knew his personality. Nonetheless, even if he wasn't really going to sell them, Ayita doubted that if someone interrogated him or asked him, he wouldn't simply tell them about Ayita...

[color=ed1c24]"Agreed. It is indeed getting late..."[/color] Ayita said after Inori suggested them that they should find shelter.

[color=ed1c24]"Knowing that humans are... not exactly welcome by this Aklenroth, wouldn't it be dangerous to go to a city?"[/color] Ayita asked, still largely oblivious to the existence of all the different races in Avalia and the conflict between the 'darker' races such as demons, orcs & etc and the 'light' ones such as fairies, elves & etc.
