"I never said anything about bandits." Val said as she finished cleaning it and began to wrap the wound up.

Skye shrugged, "And I've had a lot worse than an arrow wound."

She shrugged. "Doesn't matter. It still hurts, doesn't it? It not you a have a problem." She said as she wrapped the wound.

"Sure it hurts" said Skye, "I'm more worried about what that arrowhead did to my auras though…"

"Aura?" Val asked as she finished up wrapping the wound. "There." She said as she stepped back and looked at it. "Does it hurt when you move around?" She asked.

"Skye sat up again, "Yeah, and aura means magical power.." he said shoving himself back down to his feet. "Any chance I can have my blades back?" he said, referring to the pair of midnight blue, and silver metal blades in Val's pocket.

"It hurts?" She asked. She pulled the blades out of her pocket and set them down on the table next to Skye.

"Not as badly" said Skye picking up his blades one by one, examining each for damage before sheathing them. "Are bandits like that common around here?"

Val nodded as she went to grab some food. "They're mostly just arrogant travelers who think they can get away with everything because they save a lady once or kill a dragon." Her voice laced with venom with the last example. "Now that's out of the way I don't think I know your name." She said looking at him as she brought back some food from a cabinet. It was meat, cheese and crackers.

"Skye," said skye as he pulled back from the tall lady, "You?"

"Valerie." She said. "But you can can call me Val." She said. She sighed as she realized she had still not accomplished what she set out to do earlier. "What were you doing in the market place?" She asked.

"Wandering" said Skye, "And checking around for stuff a freind asked for, but mostly wandering."

She nodded and went to start up the forge. "You shouldn't wander in parts like that." She said as she blew some fire onto the coals making them hiss and crackle. "People there can be extremely greedy, selfish or racist." She said, almost snarling with the last one.

(I got to go. It might be a bit before I post again.)

(OK)
"Normally I can take care of myself" said Skye still fuming at the fact that those bandits had overpowered him. "That arrowhead blocked my powers, otherwise I would've had them easily."

Val chuckled. "A simple arrow head stopped you powers?" She asked.

"That arrow head is made of a metal called Altas" said Skye indignantly, "I can't help that Altas happens to be the counter for my element of magic."

She hummed and nodded her head at that. "Are you going to eat? You lost a lot of blood and need to get your energy back." She said pointing at the food.

Skye rolled his eyes and munched on one of the strips of meat. "You didn't have to step in back there.." he said

Val shook her head. "I did." She said. "I couldn't leave you there."

"No you didn't" said Skye.

"Yes. I did." She said calmly. "I wouldn't leave anybody there. I can't." She said, not looking at him.

"I would've gotten out myself.." said Skye half heartedly. "And you could've gotten hurt…"

She shrugged. "I could get hurt for simply walking into the wrong shop. I could get killed for telling the wrong people that what they are doin' is wrong. At least this way I'm helping someone." She explained.

"What in the stars??" Skaye said confused. "Why would that ever be a thing??"

Val sighed. "Have you been in this town, Skye?" She asked as she stocked the coals. They hissed and popped causing some sparks to fly out and hit he but she payed no mind. Being a part fire dragon had it's perks.

"Not really" said Skye watching her with interest.

"Good for you." She said. "This town is racist. It's hard to be anything other than a white human and not get hurt or beaten down"

"Yeesh…" said Skye, "I guess I should keep to myself then.. I mean I have dark skin.. so that will probably have me bad enough off…"

Val nodded. "Try having dark skin and being a half blood." She said as she began to heat up some metal.

"Yeah I guess I'm lucky no one around here knows about that part" said Skye.
