John sighed.
"You know, if you run off now, it'll only be harder for you to leave again."

"Do you think we harbor the intent to harm?" Flint asked, "I, for my part, remain peaceful until I must protect."

Sayerin's eyes widened, and she cringed.
"Stay out of my mind," she whispered, backing away more.

John grinned.
"Didn't need to go in. I could figure it out."

"I cannot intrude upon the minds of others, nor would I violate your privacy if I could." Flint replied, "Your actions suggested you might run, I suspected John's news had unsettled you."

It was too much for Sayerin. She turned and fled.

John dashed after Sayerin.
You're making a mistake.

Flint sighed internally, as he turned and ran after them, narrowly missing catching her before she could start running

Sayerin shook her head, running as fast as she could.

John sighed, picking up speed and grabbing her.

Flint stopped virtually instantaneously, a testment to his physical strength.
"Do not base your decision on fear," he said, "we will not hurt you, nor anyone else, unless they attack first."

Sayerin was forced to a halt as her shirt choked her. She struggled against John's grip, whimpering.

John grabbed her hand as he let go of her shirt. He then started dragging her along again.

"If you drag her, it will only reaffirm her fear." Flint protested, "Reassure her instead."

Sayerin struggled, then did something she'd done only a few times.
"MASTER! HELP!" she shouted.

John blinked.
"Oh crap....."

Flint sighed, again internally
"Now I must ask, John, what was your reason to take her with you?" he asked
|

There was a commotion in the woods as the searchers headed towards them.
Sayerin attempted to wrench her hand away.

John sighed, taking out his staff.
"This'll sting a bit."
He poked her with the end of it, sending a small current into her, knocking her out.
He then picked her up and started running.

"Please answer my question John." Flint said, keeping pace

The sounds of the search quickly faded as the two men and the unconscious girl got deeper into the woods.

John looked back, then grinned.
"Because I can."

"If you don't give me a serious answer, I'll have no choice but to take her back." Flint warned, now alongside John

John placed Sayerin down, then looked at his staff.
"One, that is my serious answer. It's the only answer I ever give. Two, try and take her back. I dare you."

"If you insist." Flint replied, taking a stance and slowly approaching John

Sayerin stirred with a soft whimper, waking up.
"Wh...what happened?" she whispered to herself as she sat up and opened her eyes. Seeing John and Flint, she froze.

"Oh, you're up."

"If I didn't fight fair, this would be over already. Don't split your attention." Flint warned, poking John in the forehead before returning to his previous position, to make his point more clear
"One minute, I was challenged." he told Sayerin

Sayerin scooted away from the two.
"Where am I? What happened? Why are you doing this?!" she asked tearfully, shaking.
"I want to go back. Take me back, take me back, TAKE ME BACK!" she continued, her voice rising hysterically until she was shouting. She suddenly froze, then hunched over as a coughing fit shook her body, covering her mouth. Blood slowly dripped onto the snow from her hands.
