Thorns and Claws
She didn't talk, she didn't even really seem to be there completely. The only thing she seemed sure of was the fact that she knew where she was going. With that alone he had little choice but to follow her. Not like he knew this place. He was dragged in here and he woke half way through the hall. This one wasn't one of the buildings he had planned a route to get in and out of. No this one was built differently. It seemed larger and housed more then just the pair of them. Or that it could anyway he had no idea if it did or not.
None the less she seemed to avoid the fire as she went to the sink. He did follow her but he let her have the space she wanted as well. At the least between the two of them they could probably get out. She looked kind of young as she started healing fully but he wasn't sure on that. She was a water user right? He had heard stories of those types living to be far older then most. Though water users seemed to be calm compared to some of the other elements. Normally fire and wind were the two to go crazy first.
Earth wasn't much better depending on the area you were in. Either way he thought it was better to let her do her thing. The fire seemed to be hindering them and doing them a favor at the same time. It kept the men at bay being unable to cross it but it was keeping them limited to certain areas.
He hated being in here though. It was cut off from the world outside and the other earth he could get to was what she had somehow forced here. he had been keeping it under the flooring but that took energy. It was a good thing he wasn't new to tricks like this. He heard a slight noise where the girl had been near the sink but only glanced at her.
She seemed to be on the floor with her hand still in the water. How long had she been here? Let alone what untold things did they do to her? He had been through one of these places before. He was younger back then and it was shortly after his brother was murdered. What could a child do? After his outburst they had captured him and they did a number of things he would never wish on his worse enemy. A number of scars were from them, though faded over the years. The tattoos did not. He had a number of them littering his body.
Patterns and markings on different sections. They looked like runes almost with how they were done up. They were trying to figure out where the power drew from and what parts of the body it affected. They found out first hand what it could affect with that place being the first building he leveled that held his kind captive as lab rats.
Shaking his head he looked back towards the fire in the hall as he heard a sudden commotion. Though as someone appeared on this side of the flame he took the defensive A root quickly shoot through the floor in front of him as a blade of sorts formed and he grabbed it standing there. "Better hurry it up lassie!" He warned her as he stood there. His accent finally kicking back in after all of these years. Though he normally did a good job of hiding that as well.
If was his goal to hide everything that he was. It was safer that way. He knew the humans kept pets of his kind. He feared this might be one such pet. "Friend or foe, speak your claim now." He had gotten use to asking that whenever he was near another user. Most were burnt at the end of their ropes or were controlled by humans. This girl was the first free one he had seen from back when he met that poor sob who ended up as a tree.
