Kiske was about to attack Ai, though then noticed the soldiers "!!!" He suddenly darted forward, past Ai "Let them go!" he yelled, tackling one of the guards that had grabbed a 'beast' All he did was crash into the guard with his shoulder, making sure not to stumble and fall himself.

"Making things harder," She growled, and stomped her foot. The ground underneath the man shot up in a pillar, launching him into the air as they rounded up the citizens to try and get them back to the town center. Ai grabbed the boy when he landed near her and pinned him to the ground, driving her sword into the ground through his clothes, inches from his neck. "Calm. Down." She stated.

Kiske qucikly gripped the blade, he didn't try to pull it out, instead a few blue sparks, and then a miniature bolt of lightning just arced from the blade and hit Ai right in the face. It wasn't deadly, but it was enough to send her into a twitch fit for a few seconds. Enough time for him to pull the blade out and roll back, now holding the weapon himself. He again went away from Ai, and slashed the bldae at a few of the guards, trying to at least wound them.

Though Kiske caused a frezey, causing the soldiers to go into hard core mode. Eat slash was blocked by a stone wall or wave of air, but when he went to attack the seargant flames errupted from him in a mountain to push him away, but he in turn killed two of the beasts who were near him.

Kiske stumbeled back, "Gh....!!!" he noticed the two charged corpses when the flames cleared. He clenched the blade tighter "You...." little bits of electricity started arcing all over his body and the blade "BASTAARDS!!!" he yelled, and then he himself went into 'hardcore' mode. It didn't matter if it was a wall of stone or air. Electricity danced around the defenses, and shocked all the soldiers, and even the commander, untill they were burnt so badly that they couldnt move, or were dead.

Electricity, being the extreme form of heat, gave Ai knowledge of how to defend against it, since several of the other knights could use it. Where this boy got that control was not a question on her mind. She dropped to one knee as a dome of stone encompassed her, completely protecting her from the electricity. When the burst was over the stone collapsed, and the wind rushed amazingly fast, and in that frenzy sucking the very breath from this nuisance lunge.

Kiske gasped, choking. "Damn...bastard...." He focused the last of what could could into his hand, and right before he dropped unconcious, he let out a bolt of lightning right at Ai. Though it landed at her feet, her being hit only with what arced from the ground.

Ai was unable to block the last bit. She grunted and bit her tongue, holding her arm with the electricity entered her body. She winced, holding stiff until she could taste blood, and then even longer until the pain passed. Now angry, she stromed over to the kid and was about to nail him once even though he was unconscious, but grunted, shaking her head. With her sisters delicate situation outside the country she didn't need to go causing trouble. She bound the man and dragged him behind her.
She went to the first barn she reached and took a hoarse, asking for it not exactly being her top priority. A twisted honor code made her leave a small bag of coins on the stoop of the house, before climbing onto the horse, having tied on the nuisence as if he were a bang of chattle. Thanks to the hoarse it took her less then an a day to return to the capital of Nipon.
She was annoyed, tired, hungry, and now had a certain disdain for the Beast of Kilkor. Grumbles flooded from her lips when she dropped the new found prisoner off in the jail beneath the palace, before heading up to the thrown room to report the inncident. She'd get hell for not having handling it properly, but it was all just 'You woman' nonesense. No real damage, unless you counted her pride.
Not a too long after the man had been put in the jail cell the door to the dungen was opened and two young girls entered. One was maybe 3 years old, with big deep pink eyes and the brightest of silver hair. She wore silk orange robes, compared to the cotton ones most of the woman scurrying around wore. The other girl, of maybe 10 or so had the same deep pink eyes, but instead of white her hair was a vibrant green, and though it was a wild color it seemed natrual. She too wore silk robes, hers of a dark purple, but hers seemed just a little less exspensive then the young girl at her feet.
The two entered the room, each carrying a tray of bowls of rice and small grilled fish. There were shouts and grunts from the other men in the room as they began to pass out the food, the older girl taking the bowls of rice from the younger and placing a fish on top of it, before slipping it through the bars. When they got to Kiske's cell they stopped, noticing he was still tied. The two looked at each other. "It's going to be hard to eat like that," The elder muttered. "But papa said never-" "I know but everyone needs to eat, right Kiki?" The elder said. She pulled a small knife out from the sash around her waist and handed it to the little girl. She looked around, knowing she was breaking rules and wanting to be careful that the guards didn't see. "Take this, slip through the bars and cut the ropes," She said. The young girl, small enough to do so slipped in.
She stared neverously at the man. He was in the jail cell, and her father had told her those were always bad people. She stared at him before getting closer and nervously slipping the blade into the ropes and sawing at it. "Please don't be scary Mr. Bad man," She said nervously.

When Kiske had awaken and noticed that he was in a cell, he let out a sigh, tugging his arms once to see if he could brake the rope he felt around them. He couldn't. So instead he just quietly sat on his legs, his eyes closed, meditating.
When he heard the commotion outside, he figured ether someone the prisoners really hated showed up, but then he heard yells of "GIMME MOAR FOOD" so he figured it was time for Breakfast...or was it lunch...Dinner? In these dark palce, it was easy to lose the time of day.
He waited quietly while the others yelled, and when he noticed the two figures infront of the cell he figured it was his turn '...odd...their really small...' he was in the back of the cell, so he couldn't really see just who it was. They seemed to be arguing about something. He just closed his eyes, wishing they'd leave.
When he heard the tiny footsteps, he opened his eyes. And what he saw honestly shocked him. Aside from being one of the most adorable little girls he's ever seen, this one was much MUCH too young to be walking around a dungeon jail, especialy with a knife. "...Bad man?" He asked softly, not wanting to scare the poor girl "...aren't you a little young to be walking around a dungeon...and holding a knife?" He asked, though didn't move, grateful for the kind jesture she was giving by cutting off the ropes.

"Eeeh Ehhhh..." The little girl quickly cut through the robes and ran towards the bars again. "Ah!! Kiki don't run with that!" The other girl shouted, reaching through the bars and snatching it from her. "Never never never run when holding something sharp, Didn't Sister ever tell you that?" She asked, helping the little girl slip through the bars again. "Scaaary," She whined, hiding behind the sleeve of the other girls robe and peeking out at the man.
The other girl blinked. He didn't look like the others. He didn't even look like a Niponese man. The only blond people she'd ever seen were those who were the Glucian citizens who were caught over the boarder. She placed one of the grilled fish on top of the bowls of rice and slipped it between the bars. "Are you from Glucia?" She asked.

Kiske stood up, Rubbing his wrists a little "?" He noticed that the 'armor' on his arms was left in place "...odd..." He muttered, but kept quiet about it. It could prove useful if he decided to escape.
He walked over to the bars, crouching down and taking the bowl "Thank you." He said, sitting back on his legs again, this time infront of the bars though. He looked up at the girl behind the bars '...She's very young aswell...whats going on here? Why are young girls in such a place?' He had many question, but he was the prisoner, he had no right to ask them...
He shook his head "I am from Kilkor." He said, he honestly didn't really know wheter she was asking where he was from now, or where he was born. If she asked where he was born. Then yes, he was from Glucia...probably. He never really knew.

"The beast country?" The young girl asked in surprised. She looked the man up and down. He doesn't look like one... She thought. The little one reached through the bars and quickly looked up his sleeve. "You're not a kitty," She stated, quickly pulling her hand back again, afraid if he was a beast man he might bite her. The elder slapped her hand lightly. "Stop that it's rude to touch a man without asking first," She scolded. "But he's a bad man and Papa said-" "Brother meant about different things Kiki," She corrected again.
She lifted her arm so she couldn't hide behind her sleeve. "Apologize," She said, ignoring the vulgar shouting from some of the other prisoners. The little girl looked around for something to hide behind, but finding nothing covered her face with her hands. "S-sorry," She muttered.

Now Kiske was just beyond confused '...She did nothing wrong...why is she being scolded?' "I...don't understand..." he said "I am a prisoner, a man who has had his freedom taken away due to certain events. Manners aren't something to be shown to someone like that..." he said
He looked up at the older one "She did nothing wrong, she's just a child, why are you treating her like she just hurt someone?" he asked, quite confused. Looking up ones sleeve could hardly be painful, plus it was just the childs curiosity. "She's scared enough as it is...making her apologise to 'bad people' isint helping her..."

The elder stood up collecting the trays the food had been on. She looked around, making sure there was no one listening, then crouched down again. "Brother says the Emperor sometimes puts good people in jail. I never assume someone who acts civil is bad," She said, seeming to have no problems with talking to the strange foreigner, though that was her childish trust that made her tongue loose.
She stood up again taking kiki's hand. "Besides, she's a nobleman's daughter, so she's supposed to learn manners, and it's my job to teach them too her," She said, being so young, but assuming so much responsibility. "And it's rude to touch someone without asking, right?" She asked looking down at the girl. She nodded.

Kiske sighed "I'm really not suprised..." he said when the girl told him that the emperor sometimes put good people in jail. 'A corrupt king...I already don't like this country more than I did before I even got here'
He blinked, looking up at the girl again "...Its not." Kiske said "When your friends with someone, physical contact is natural. Like shaking ones hand, giving a hug, a slap on the back, any friendly gesture. You do not need to ask permision..." He said "Even more so when its a child. A small child is always going to act out on their curiosity, it shouldnt be something they should get scolded for...and...don't take offense to this...but arent you yourself a little young to be teaching another child about manners?" He asked
