Aris was wriggling even harder, trying to get free of the ropes that bound her. Already she could feel a burning sensation on her arms where the ropes started to rub against her soft, sensitive skin. An idea popped into her head, and she pressed her wings flat against her back, praying it would give enough room for escape.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Teren had slashed towards the enemy, who nimbly dodged it, smirking. "Don't yah be playing with me, boy. I like to play rough." With that, he tackled Teren, nearly landing on the squirming angel. Aris let out a panicked yelp, rolling away from the scuffle. The slaver managed to get on top, holding Teren's wrists with iron grip. "Yah see, boy, if you've dealt with our kind before, yer doing a pretty shitty job of keeping yerself out o' trouble." He began to force the blades towards the thief's neck, hoping to get this annoyance out of the way so he could get all the pay for the new batch of slaves.

She stood up, dusting off her hands, which were red and irritated from rope burns as was much of her arms, and she took to untying Nathaniel.<br/><br/>------------------<br/><br/>Jack smirked, "I'd ask what this little adventure of ours will entail, but I don't want to clean up after the animals with that poor soul." Scooting the chair out with a loud screech, and walked up to the new teammember, "You best keep up with us, or we will leave you to fend for yerself."
