"Hm. Disrespect, you say? I was being quiet for the ones who were talking. That's respectful enough, I believe..." he said in a tone that suggested Mouka try not to go further than that.
He sighed, then looked back at the others, waiting for them to continue.

Amelia gave a small sigh and slowly stepped out of the water. At first, she was unsure if she should move closer to the group than she already is. But, she felt she could trust the two. Alaric, she decided, would be watched carefully. One could never trust a human. “I am sorry, yet again. I do not…sense auras. I simply know if something is on my swamp if someone is careless to it…or is carrying metal.” She stated, knowing nothing else she could do. Suddenly, she gave a deep bow to her group, her long hair nearly touching the moist ground. “But, I will assist you as much as I can. I will provide you with a safe place to sleep if it is needed,” she suddenly paused, worry flashing across her face, “And my name.” It was unheard of that a Naiad would help a human. The odder thing still was that she would give them her name. It was a old superstition not to speak your name to someone you would drown. That way, they were not able to speak your name in the afterlife. “I’m Amelia Koupel, the Naias of the marsh.”

Hm...? Oh, maybe that's why she doesn't like me... Damn, forgot...
Alaric looked at himself after the Naiad spoke. He forgot he was wearing his mail and blade, and his bow no less. He was a walking repulsion to all things nature. He would take his metal off when he next got the chance, but he did need it while he traveled before. He sighed, looking back up. These were thoughts he'd keep to himself, he decided...

"It's nice to meet you, Miss Koupel," Hikari said, smiling. "My name is Hikari Kudari. That man over there with the cow ears and horns is Mouka. The other... actually, I don't think he's told us his name..."
Mouka's ears twitched and he turned toward Kain's position. He sighed and pulled his coat to the side, revealing three large blade under his thick coat. That and a well-built body layered elegantly with thick muscles.

Someone else...? Figures... As if we didn't have enough...
"... My name is Alaric, for all the good that does. Now, should I join in this fight Mouka, or do you have it covered?" he asked, itching to draw his bow. He didn't want to frighten the Naiad, however, so he restrained.

Amelia gave a smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you as well." she chimed, flashing one of her white smiles. Then, all of a sudden, she brought a hand to her mouth; her other hand placed against her stomache.
Amelia felt Kain coming. She could smell his sword. Her face, if possible, then became pale when Mouka revealed his blades. she couldn't smell them before because of his cloak. Slowly she back away into the water. She was up to her knees when she decied she could take the burning smell. Slowly, she raised her hands and prepared to make an illusion for her and the group-if it was needed, of course.

Hikari looked up when Mouka revealed his three blades. "Ah, Mouka, don't!"
"I won't unless they attack first," he said. "And if you wish to join in the fight, be my guest."

Kain paused, took one final glance at the scenery and looked back to the large cow/man. He stopped about fifty-eight meters away and merely stood observing all of them, trying to get a grasp on the situation. He moved his hand away from his sword to indicate he meant no harm but his eyes remained cold. He noticed the Naiad's discomfort and shifted his cloak to conceal his sword... hopefully concealing the scent, he was not very interested in becoming an annoyance to a Naiad, it could very well lead to his demise.

"Right. Oh, and..." he said, turning to the Naiad, "I do apologize for the weaponry and metal and such... I realize we're on your land and these objects are less than holy, but we wish no harm to you and your kin. We can take care of this, if you wish to leave."
Alaric turned back to the new-comer and possible threat, taking out his bow and notching an arrow. He had his target, even though the man was mainly a blur on the horizon in his eyes. He could hear the air around the man distorting, though, so he knew for sure where he was. He narrowed his eyes, and waited for the order... Then the man lowered his weapons. Alaric still kept aim, just in case...

Amelia watched the man coming closer with cold eyes. If he were to start a fight here, he would be sorry. Blood shed on her land is the same as blood being shed on her hands. She would tolerate none of this. When the stranger released his hand off of the hilt of his sword and hid it for her, Amelia visibly relaxed. One of her hands returned to her side, while the other one was placed back to her torso. She was beginning to feel dizzy and she knew why: She was exposed to too much metal to fast.
She raised her voice so the man could hear what she has to say. “There will be no fighting on my land. Draw blood here and you must give the same amount in your own.” For a Naiad, her voice was surprisingly loud. She then looked over at the two men, waiting for them to lower their weapons. “I thank you for your concern, but I am able to protect my own land.” She paused to look at the weapons. “Without the need of any weapon made of metal.” Her voice was barely audible.
The exposure to the metal had made her weak and cranky. She glared at the blurry figure to see any sign that he agreed to her terms.
