Elina had panicked when the fire started and had backed herself agaisnt the opposite wall. She eyed the door and wondered if she could make it. The flames seemed to whip just at the edge of her path. She forced herself to be calm and think of a way out. Finally, an idea came to her.
"Nynaeve!" She scremed loud, to get her voice over the sounds of the fire and the panicked mob.
Her Pegasus was close by, wandering the alleyway. Nynaeve was stubborn, and hearing her master's call, would not let a wall get in the way. Just as Elina had moved her pegasus came crashing through the wall of the inn. The inn creaked precariously and Elina decided to get out of there qiuckly before the flames caused it to collapse. She went out through her newly made entrance and mounted her pegasus. She rode it to join the others outside.
"Sorry I took so long, is everyone outside?" Her eyes wandered to a female she had never met, but now was hardly the time to introduce herself.

"Unfortunately it would appear that way." Tobias replied, still grinning maniacally. "And guess whose fault this all is." he continued, staring directly at Wylie.

Ignoring Tobias' obvious smugness, Wylie spoke up. "We should probably head along the path for another hour or so and then find somewhere to sleep."
"Oh, and Elina, this is Natalie. Natalie, Elina."

Natalie looked over at the newly named Elina and smiled. "It's nice to meet you," she said. "Just remember: do not disturb me during a nap unless it's a life or death situation, okay?" The scary part was, the thief said this with a smile on her face while her hand fingered the hilt of her short sword.
Natalie then walked over to a random barrel filled with water and dunked her head in it. She pulled it back out after a few seconds and proceeded to ring out her hair. "Ah, now I'm finally awake. Let's just-" She cut off as her eyes went to the pegasus Elina was riding that she had somehow dismissed before. With a squeal, she launched herself at said creature, latching onto its neck and stroking the mount's neck. "So cute! What's her name?" she asked excitedly.

Ignoring the two girls, who seemed to be getting along well, Tobias continued to watch Wylie. "Perhaps you misunderstood me. That deal I made applies to everyone, not just the new girl. And this is really pissing me off." He tightened his grip on his sword and moved it closer to Wylie's neck. "Don't worry; it's you so you get to keep your head." His grin broadened. "You don't get a quick death."

Elina smiled as she was introduced to the other girl, glad that she wasn't just with men. When she heard the part about her nap it reminded her of that other guy in their party that had threatened to kill her.
"Don't worry, I'll keep that in mind."
She laughed when Natalie launched herself at the pegasus which earned her a glare from Nynaeve. Her pegasus, liking all of the affection, raised her head proud and assumed her most impressive stance.
"Her name is Nynaeve, she can be a bit stubborn... and she has attitude problems but I rely on her." Elina said as she pet her mount softly.

"Well that is a shame," Wylie replied sarcastically. He then wandered over to where they had tied their horses previously and mounted Alia. She seemed edgy about the fire being fairly close but with a good pat on the neck, she calmed down.
"Alright guys, lets head this way," Wylie said, having returned to the group leading the others' horses.

Wylie was ignoring him, which made Tobias even more annoyed. "You still think I'm just messing around?" He said, his face twitching angrily. "Well, thank you for my horse, but I don't take bribes." Without any further warning he slashed his sword at Wylie's face.

Red blood fell freely from Wylie's face onto the ground and over his hands. He looked at Tobias with a mixture of shock and rage. "Are you f**king serious?! You slash me in the face because I've annoyed you?! If you find me so irritating why are you even here?!"

Elina smiled as it seemed that her pegasus and the feamale thief were becoming fast friends. She turned to start walking down the path Wylie had mentioned when she saw Wylie's face, dripping with blood and Tobias, who's sword had blood dripping down it. It didn't take her long to put two and two together and she quickly grabbed her lance. She ran in between Wylie and the man, who she now knew was insane.
"What the hell is going on!?" She shouted a little loud because she was scared.
She wasn't sure how good the myrmidon was but she doubted she could win in a fight. She hoped that the situation would die down but with all their weapons drawn, she didn't think that it would happen soon.

The shouting distracted Tobias enough that he realized he had been asked a question. He tilted his head to one side and frowned. "I'm not quite sure why I'm here. I think it had something to do with you wanted me to do reconnaisance? Doesn't matter." Then he noticed the new girl standing in front of him. She had asked a quetion too. "Well, He annoyed me so I attacked him. But then you intervened. I guess he'll live... for now. Which reminds me, I didn't bother to remember your name. Or maybe you didn't tell me."

"God, you are such an *ss Tobias," Natalie said as she discreetely moved her hand off the hilt of her sword, confident that he would stop attacking Wylie. "Psycho, too." The thief shook her head. "If you have to take out your annoyance on somebody, wait and do it to someone who's after us," she said as she walked to Wylie, pulling out a cloth and pressing it to the cut on his face.
"Do something stupid like that again and I'll kill you," Natalie hissed over her shoulder at the myrmidon. "Can you heal yourself, Wylie? Or should I just bandage it up?"

(OoC: Crowley's right here with us. I've been dragging him along in my posts.)
"Just something to staunch the blood would be good," Wylie said, still coldly looking at Tobias. He agreed with her comment that he was a f**king psycho. He also reminded himself to thank Elina later. That was pretty good of her and he even reckoned she could have beaten Tobias in that fight. He acted tough but wasn't as experienced as he thought he was. She would have given him a good run, especially given her lance advantage.
After a moment, he turned to Natalie and thanked her for the cloth. "Let's just get moving," he said in an icy tone and began trotting towards the path.

Elina sighed in relief as it appeared that the situation was diffused. Natalie rushed over to help while Elina kept a wary eye on Tobias. He was definitely insane, and dangerous so she was a little glad he was on their side. She felt sorry for any enemy that pissed him off. She turned away from him, not much feeling like talking to him, or even looking at him at that point. When Wylie talked she could tell he was angry. She got worried, so she grabbed Nynaeve and rode up beside him.
"Are you ok Wylie? If there's anything I can do...." She trailed off as she realised she almost had no medical experience.
"Sorry, but I guess I'm only good at stabbing things," She finished a little embarassed she wasn't much help.

Hmmmm... I guess everybody hates me now... Nothing new there. Tobias thought calmly while mounting his horse. I think I'll stay quiet for a while.... again.
