Aey grinned back at him.
"A good dramatic walk-off is always nice, but overused it just gets obnoxious. From one dramatic person to another. And I guess the best place to search would be... Um... I... Have no idea.." she admitted.
"My first guess would be checking the house... But there is honestly no trace of my family there. Not a single clue. And the neighbor doesn't know what happened to them either... I suppose we could ask around, but that could get risky... Not that I care about risk, but I'm not sure how well you would hold up in a fight." she said.

"Quite the contrary. I can hold my own in a fight, but can you?..." He asked curiously.

She laughed.
"Just try and keep up, then!" she said teasingly as she walked off towards a more crowded part of the city.
Ya know, at first I thought I couldn't stand him... Maybe he's not so bad after all... she thought as she smiled and pushed her way past a group of people.

He followed her, "You never answered my question. For all I know, you could be my next patient...." He shoved another person.

"Don't worry about me, I don't exactly run around looking for fights, but if we run into one and I get in over my head I'm pretty damn good at getting away, too." she said.
"And be careful who you shove, the next one could be holding a knife, for all you know."

"Probably, but I have a way with people..." a large man came between them, "Excuse me sir..." Erick said politely. "You look like you've got some pretty nice things on you,,,," The man pulled a knife and pointed it at Erick. "Sir... you just made a big mistake..." Erick swung his arm up pushing the knife upwards. Erick thrust his palm into the mans stomach, and then judo chopped him in the side of the neck. The man stood there bent over, temporarily paralyzed. He hurried up and caught up with Aeyara. "I should listen to you more often..."

She rolled her eyes and grabbed his hand, pulling him through the crowd quickly.
"You realize meatheads like that tend to travel in packs, right? I can promise you that some of his buddies are closing in on us now, we have better disappear, and fast." she said as she weaved through gaps in the crowd, glancing behind them. She could see at least 2 following them, and there were probably more looking on.
Crap... Now would be a good time for him to suddenly reveal a magic power, like teleporting us somewhere safe or invisibility... Yeah, I wish my luck was that good. She thought.

I don't have any skills like that. Only the ability to help people, and in order to do that. I need to know what they're thinking.. He projected into her mind. He continued following her, And for the record, they're not thinking nice thoughts about you... they just want to cut my throat and leave me in an alley...

Aey stopped and stared at him, a little past surprised.
"Holy sh- SINCE WHEN CAN YOU DO THAT?!?" she asked/yelled, then looked at the thugs, who were getting too close for comfort.
"On second thought, we'll discuss this later, I think the best thing to do now is run." she said as she started pushing her way through the crowd again, shoving a few people and ducking under some arms, trying to get them to lose sight of her and put some distance between them at the same time.
Holy crap, did he hear everything I thought? Crap...

He ran after her. I can't hear all your thoughts, only ones in Distressed times. Like this, don't worry.... he glanced back then looked at her. "I've never really been a fan of this running thing.."

"Yeah, me neither, but I don't think we've got much choice here..." she said as she headed towards the edge of the crowd.
"I think we've gotten enough distance between us and them to make an escape..."

"I think I'll go ask that wall over there..." she said as she walked over and leaned against it, trying to catch her breath.
"Man, I hate running..." she said.

"Me too.... but there's no reason to get all worked up over it..." He took a deep breath. "Is this town always this rough?"

"Yeah... It can get that way if you shove the wrong peo-oh shit..." she said as she looked up.
Looks like they hadn't outrun those guys afterall... The guy Erick had fought before had joined his friends and not one of them looked very friendly...
Just my luck...
