Metrean became angry.
"Quit mocking me."
His anger radiated through his voice, clearly noticeable. His hand tightened on the handle of his sword.
He walked even closer.

Rahrah noticed the boy's anger, and turned into a tiger. Ur didn't repeat him this time, but growled something in the language only she and her daemon understood.
"Tarr acraa eeeee!"
At her cry, both girl and daemon attacked viciously.

Ma Costa looks at Coram who looked the woman over. Coram looked at Sophanax, who looked to the ground.
Ma Costa impatiently asked 'Well?' Farder Coram says 'She had her dæmon stolen. I think she is a witch.' He sighed 'Either we send someone to go find the dæmon, or we kill her, or she dies alone. '
Emily nodded to the girl and led her back to the bank. She said 'Thank you for helping. Me name's Emily.'

Immediately Metrean reacted. He quickly moved to the right and swung his sword, while at the same time Thayndriar went left before jumping out at the tiger dæmon, teeth bared, claws out.

Ur dodged the swinging sword and pulled a sharpened stick out of her pouch. Rahrah attacked the boy's daemon viciously, changing into a rattlesnake and biting every which way.

Metrean circled the girl, watching her in case she moved. Thayndriar immediately took adventage of her size. She stepped down on the snake dæmon's head, so as to immobilize him. She was cautious, however, and alert for a sudden shape change, fully prepared to do damage as soon as it happened.
Metrean continued to circle the girl, ready to counteract any attack thrown at him.
As long as the girl or her dæmon acted first, they would have the upper hand.

Ur was stunned slightly, but not as badly as Rahrah. She watched the boy closely, and mentally willed her daemon to change shape and surprise them. He did so, becoming a tiger that was much larger than normal. He then completely disregarded the taboo and pounced on Metrean.

When the girl's dæmon changed, Thayndriar reacted. First, she jumped to the left. Then, when the tiger dæmon went after Metrean, she jumped at him, knocking the tiger dæmon aside in midair, right before the attack was able to land.
Metrean then lunged at the girl, and swung the sword down.

Ur tried to jump out of the sword's way, but it made a small cut through the side of her clothes and pierced her skin. Blood flowed out, soaking the animal skins and running down her bare legs. The wound wasn't too bad, but she could fight no longer. Her face screwed up in pain, Ur ran off as fast as she could, shouting back.
"Rarree yarr!"
She ran toward the boats without realizing where she was going. All she wanted to do was get away from the boy, but made a mental note to get some better weapons and seek him out later.

When the girl ran off, Metrean sheathed his sword.
"That'll teach you not to listen in on private conversations!" he shouted after her.
He walked over to a stack of wooden crates and sat down next to them, followed by Thayndriar.

Emily veiwed the fight, and walked over to Metrean. 'What was that about?' She asked a bit angerly

"That girl, she listened in on my conversation with Thayn, mocked me when I asked who she was, and then attacked me after that."
He paused before asking, "Who are you?"

Emily stared at him. 'That girl? She looked wild, like she wouldn't know English. ' Emily blinked at him slowly. 'I wouldn't hold it against her though, mocking you. Pompus boy, aren't you. ' Deo chuckled and chided her 'Emily,' He said.

Julian watched the fight between Metrean and Ur with interest. A long stretch of silence passed between him and Shay, aside from the occasional fidget from the sand cat dæmon - she wanted in on the fight - and Julian kicking her lightly and snapping at her to be quiet. He didn't want to miss a word that passed by the water. Pity the feral girl had lost the fight.
Mentally he took note after note of the fighting styles of both Metrean and his opponent. Julian sorely wanted revenge on Metrean after the teen had so easily attacked him in the slums. But his reflexes were just too fast. It seemed there was no way one could best him in a fight.
In a fair fight.
There had to be some way to catch him off guard. Julian realized that, while it might not be so hard to disguise himself and mingle with the gyptians on the bank, Shay would give him away in a heartbeat. Julian had never met another sand cat soul in his life and he doubted he would.
For now, he'd continue to wait, but at the slightest opportunity given, he would make sure he exacted his revenge upon Metrean.

Ur stumbled into the Costa's boat, clutching her side. A few people were in there, one lying weakly on a bed, and Ur eyed them carefully.
"Dear, what's the matter?" asked Ma Costa, seeing Ur's look of pain. She moved toward the girl, but Rahrah moved between them as a tiger and growled warningly. Ma glanced at Ur's side, and saw all the dripping blood.
"Farder, get some bandages for this girl," she said urgently. "She's bleedin'." Ma moved closer to Ur, and Ur growled. Ma grabbed the girl's arm and held her tight, but was knocked down by Rahrah. Ur shrieked and ran out of the boat, her side still bleeding. She was starting to feel dizzy from the loss of blood, and sat down next to a barrel to rest.
