"The knights?" Ich interrupted. "What knights?" Duo sat down, feeling weary-the usual mana effects.

Marble turned back to him, smiling gently. "They are not far from here, in a village known as Tyrin. I can take you there tomorrow myself, if you want a guide. The knights will be able to help you, I'm sure of it!"

"WHAT KNI-" Duo thwacked his brother's head with a book. "Quiet." He bowed to the girl and the man. "I aplogize for my brother's rudeness. We both have excess mana, though we never needed to expell some yet, and he took it all to his head, and thinks people will say anything he wants them to."

"P-please," He stuttered, "...please," And with that, he made his way past her and towards the inn. He needed to get some sleep, and perhaps think things over. Keats would not be happy about this, and he would most likely start looking for him in a day or so...he needed to keep on his toes.
Garret slowly made his way through the thinning crowd, eying Marble with apprehension. He had no idea what she had done, but obviously she wasn't as normal as she had made him believe. Who, or for that matter...
"...what are you?" He muttered, the words coming out without warning.

"That's a question I've been wondering too. My name is Duo, and this is Ich." "Hi." "What did you do to that man?"

Marble smiled at the both of them, though the smile was clearly fake, but she continued to uphold it either way as one hand returned to a hilt of the twin blades.
"As much as I'd like to tell you, I'd have to kill you if I did," she said, giving a pitying smile at Garret, as though she had wanted to tell him but couldn't - he seemed like a nice enough boy to know the truth.

"Alright. Fair enough then, just curiosity talking." "I WANNA KNOOOOOW!" "Quiet, Ich."

*The young man made his way out of hiding, moving towards the young woman who had helped he ailing man, though he wasn't sure that he (or she) was any sort of the word "normal".*
"...What...was that, exactly?..."
*He didn't really care that the young woman didn't seem like she wanted to talk, he just wanted to know if his suspicions were justifiable...*

In response to the man, Marble turned and spoke, "He is a misunderstood member of society, the poor thing. I did my best to protect him.."

"So..."
*He lowered his voice to a whisper, knowing how fragile the topic was*
"...He was a Manis?..."

Garret was a bit taken aback by the answer, the shock registering on his face for a good second before he simply nodded. Kill me? Wow, this must be quite a secret...
Still though, despite the threat of death he couldn't help but wonder what that odd light had been, and why she had gone about and tried to rescue the man when chances were she'd be killed by the blast expelled. This was starting to get weird...
Looking towards one of the others who had stuck around, a man about his age or so who certainly had an odd taste in clothes, he listened as he asked whether the man was a Manis or not. Garret would've hazarded a guess and said 'yes' though he wanted to make sure, and see what Marble's answer was.
----
"...why...why...?"
With a thump a young man slammed his blade into the ground, watching the town activities from a top of one of the nearby hills. He hadn't seen this coming...

Marble looked between the two, although between the two of them, and the rather insensitive display of carelessness by the man, it really didn't surprise her that they had figured it out.
"Yes, he is a Manis.." she replied, looking down somewhat, and putting her hands behind her, as though embarrassed,

"...I thought so..."
*He looked back towards where the man had run off to after the woman did...whatever she did to him*
"...Sorry if I seemed a bit...well, blunt...I just wanted to make sure...I had a feeling, you know?..."
*What she didn't know is that he knew what the Manis had to go through whenever they needed to expel the excess mana in their bodies, but what had happened here was sort of strange to him: A Manis about to expel his mana suddenly didn't? Something was strange with this girl...*

There were sudden gasps as several armed soldiers made their way through the town gate, one of the villagers leading them towards the scene of the 'crime'.
"There!" He pointed, eyes set on the group...especially Marble, "...he was right there, he nearly killed us all, and then she...she did something and he ran off!"
One of the guards, setting a hand on the hilt of his blade, simply nodded and eyed the group from behind his helmet...slowly making his way towards the group.
"Where'd he go?" The guard asked, gruff and to the point.
