"Tsk!"
Kiht furrowed her brows as she watched the three Hyur chatter about the safety of the one conjurer girl, apparently named Clover. So many thoughts and protests were produced in her mind, but the usually opinionated Kiht said nothing. There was not enough time to argue with a couple of Hyur males.
She listened to them carefully even though her mind raced to assess things. The situation was becoming more real in her mind. Kiht and Xydane would not be enough to fight all the Ixal directly. If there were as many as Kiht thought there would be, they would be just too outnumbered. Kiht still said nothing as she thought Xydane would not likely care too much about odds.
"We need you to alert the Adder" Andre said to Clover.
Kiht continued to listen.
“Go with Andre, you'll be safe with him.†Xydane said then paused. “When I return, I want to see what new flowers you have grown.â€
It was then that Xydane turned to Kiht, and asked if she was ready. The problem was, she was not ready now. She could bear it no longer. There was little time, but she had to say what was on her mind. There was more at stake than the life of this pretty girl, and Kiht was thinking that Clover was much more than what these males treated her like. Kiht could see that Clover was no battle Conjurer. She barely healed Andre. However, Kiht was not buying it completely. She was about to do something born from her family code of honor that emphasized the idea of courage. It was probably a bit stupid too.
"Understood. I will inform the Adder of the current situation... Clover had said in response to the men.
"Nay!" Kiht said as she pointed at Clover and took a small step towards her. Kiht's ears pined back on her green bandana as her tail lashed behind her. She gave the Hyur woman a determined stare then took a glance at the two men.
"You all fail to understand that there is no time. By the time she gets back to Gridania there will be no trail for the Adders to follow. This storm will do a small rearrangement of this landscape that will leave no trace of the Ixal trail." Kiht said in a clear tone to the men then quickly turned he gaze back to Clover.
"You, the one named after a small plant. You are a Conjurer." Kiht stated in a tone that was a bit stern. She knew she had to hurry with what she wanted to say before the men went crazy.
"I can not cast a spell even if my life depended on it, nor can either of these two -males-." Kiht lowered her hand to her side. "But you, and others like you... Mages are one of the biggest reasons why the Garleans have not conquered Eorzea yet."
Kiht stepped a short few paces to her left, and pointed to the forest. "The spirits that created this place have bestowed upon you a gift. Have you never heard their voices, or seen things they wanted to show you? Do they really want you to go home and tend to some flowers?!" Kiht asked in a slightly exasperated tone.
"They." Kiht pointed to Andre then Xydane. "Can not force you to do anything. They want to protect you, and that is noble of them, but I say you should stop, and listen to the Elementals instead of always abiding by what -they- think is best."
Kiht turned away and faced towards the direction of the caravan ambush site. "You all do what you will, but there is not enough time to get the Adders, and the lives of those taken are at stake. Not only that, but the summoning the Ixal intend must be stopped. We need all the help we can get, and someone who can commune with the Elementals in some way would be very valuable. You two would -know- that if you would step back, and stop only thinking about the safety of this one woman."
Kiht crossed her arms and scowled, but she was smiling in her mind. Even if they got angry, and even if they did not agree, she said what she thought needed to be said. Now, she was ready.
