Emerald smiled and nodded, reaching for the other's hand and walking her across the street, "Then let us stay here at this cafe, it's just a cross..." she didn't have a chance to finish her sentence when a loud booming voice rang across the nearly empty town streets.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-size: 150%; line-height: 116%;">"Stop! What are you doing with my daughter?"</span></span>said a man said dressed in full plate armor with a strange light symbol on his breast plate that Emerald did not recognize.<br/><br/>Emerald turned to look at him, her brow furrowed as she started to growl at him. "Talking to her, what of it?" she asked. She already didn't like the knight, and him talking to her in such a way, really stood her hackles on end. With a roll of her neck, and a deep breath she relaxed her features and smiled, exuding calm from her and covering a large portion of the street. The force of the emotion was so strong that the knight balked at it, struggling to keep his own emotion of rage strong.<br/><br/>"What of it? she is my daughter and you have no right to speak to her in any way. Come Zarilla, we are going home," he spoke in his normal demanding tone, a tone that Zarilla would recognize as his or else tone.<br/><br/>"Actually I have every right to speak to whomever I please, as long as they wish to continue speaking to me, and Zarilla here has expressed her desire to know about who we are," Emerald said almost darkly, stepping closer to the knight. The closer she got to him the more he was lifted up off the ground. Soon she was standing on her hind legs in front of him, he was lifted up off the ground by two feet and his back was pressed against the brick fence.<br/><br/>Once the knight was where she wanted him, struggling to break free, Emerald placed her hand on his cheek and smiled, "Now here is what I can tell you, you are going to do. You will have no choice but to tell Zarilla here the truth, about who she is," Emerald said baring her fangs, her mind pushing against his own. The knight resisted her and clamped his mouth shut, only making Emerald snear up at him. "That's fine, you can stay right there then," she said.<br/><br/>The sound of metal scraping against brick could be heard echoing along the street, then the distinct sound of leather snapping just moment before his armor started to fall, piece after piece to the ground, leaving him spinning around in only his chainmail shirt and cotton pants. "You were right, though, to be afraid of the potential power that a Taur can hold, though you were wrong in keeping it from Zarilla." Stepping back from the wall she smiled and nodded her head, wiping her hands together. "That should hold you there for a few minutes, will give Zarilla time to consider if she wants to learn the power she has, or stay with you."<br/><br/>Stepping away from the wall and the slowly spinning knight she crossed the street, "I would give it five minutes before that wears off, Zarilla, should be plenty of time for you to decide for yourself what you want to do with your life. I'll be inside if you need me."
