Ju turned just as she saw Crow's eyes become slits. She watched quietly through her place of refuge. Ju watched her lover with interest, loving the power he had, and what he would possibly do to the girl who had severely offended her. She longed to sink her teeth into the girl, and allow her anger to completely envelop her.

"And so this is the Fire Nation, Hmm? Quite fancy, but too my taste i can deal." Ashle stepped out of a shadowy door. Her face filled with facination, she haddn't seen anything like it before. "Your Magicisties." she said, bowing. "Nice to see you. Zulu, let me see that." she said, motioning with her head at his arm.

Vulcan remained silent during the fight between Crow and Vena, his eyes following their attacks. Still, he could not help but feel that something was wrong with Crow. He knew Crow was extremely cocky, but for him to suddenly attack just to show off? He locked his eyes on Crow as they turned red and cat-like. In this state, he became oblivious to the world, which was fortunate for Ashle. Had he been in tune with his surroundings, he would have surely blew his top for reaching his limit of even more intruders.

Ana watched the goings on quite entertained until she thought Crow broached the honor of her sisters store. "We do transactions with paying patron Mr. Crow." She walked past him. "And I'll take that back." She lifted the dagger from him as he passed. She left no thoughts of her actions for she always acted compulsively.

Another senseless attack. How annoying. Vena had come to gather information, not to reveal her abilities in a pointless fight with a clearly overly aggressive individual. Ah, what to do indeed. She had been slightly angered by his jab at her abilities earlier. However, the anger dissipated when she realized what type of person he was. If she tried to change his opinion, it would be nothing more but a wasted effort. But she was not ready to make her exit, not yet.
Right before the shadows reached her, Vena brought up her own shadows, so that shadow would attack shadow and she would slip out of the mess of the attack with no injury. She could've willed the other shadow to stop, but using the same move bored her. But she would not simply move out of the way. While the two shadows were duking it out, and she made sure that it would be an extremely explosive little duel, Vena slipped out behind Zulu, knowing full well he could not use his magic effectively.
Sometime during her movements toward him, a dagger had been drawn in her right hand and this she held in front of Zulu's neck, standing behind him to use him as a shield from any further attacks. Making sure that no one else could hear her, she whispered to the water lord:
"My reasons for being here are entirely personal. But you have no cause for worry yet, I have no plans of letting anyone know what happened in here...nor any intentions of hurting you if you cooperate."
In a louder voice, she addressed Crow/the Prince:
"I don't care who you are, but unless you are truely insane, you will not carry our little banter battle out any longer...or else you'll be hurting your lord."

Zulu laughed"I know you don't have any intentions to hurt me, but you must know, I don't like to cooperate when there is a knive to my neck" Zulu put out his hand toward the water that he split earlier and bended it into a whip and knocked the dagger out of vena's hand. Then he wrapped Vena in water so she couldn't move. "I wouldn't try that again vena. You can't hurt me by holding me hostage. Oh, and you can't get out of that. only I can let you out and I will when you calm down." Zulu turned and sat in the chair. "It feels good to be able to use my powers. I thought that wasn't going to work that well because I can barely bend"

Ana was quite upset. She whined, "Stop it you guys!!!" She grew at an extraordinary rate. A claw sprouted out of her left hand. She growled low and menacingly. "Everyone...sit down."

Zulu looked at Ana. "Ana, calm down. I stopped it. I'm just having her cool down a bit. as for Crow, well, I can't handle that a the moment. I have my hands full with Vena"

Tch. These people, underestimating her, it was getting on her nerves. Vena was a thief, and she was a leader of the thieves at that. Her power was not like a child's, it was not something that is easily brushed aside. She let the dagger be knocked out of her hands, but it does not mean that she did nothing while Zulu made his idle talk. Instead, tendrils of shadow had extended out from her body, wrapping themselves dangerously around Zulu, unless he moved. But since Zulu was busy summoning water for a whip and then to trap her, she did not expect him to be able to move out of the way of her attack.
Meanwhile, the water would surround her. However, the effect would be nothing like Zulu expected. She did not move from the little water bubble at the moment, but the girl was far from trapped. Water, as a general rule, was not a solid and even if it was ice, not a strong solid. No matter how much magic he threw into it, he could not trap Vena with something like water. But she played her part, her eyes glowing dangerously, as she seemed to change into a completely different person.
The fun and games were gone. It was time for some serious business. And so far, she had developed an intense dislike for the water nation.
You should learn how to cooperate under pressure, my dear water lord." She said, her voice cold and biting. "...or else you may end up losing your life."
The shadow tendrils were swirling dangerously around Zulu and would not disappear until she felt like making them disappear. If he had simply cooperated, things would've gone much better for everyone, for Vena was now no longer in any real mood to talk. Still, she would at least make a semi-attempt.
"If certain individuals from the water nation may reign in their temper, I will not attack. We'll 'talk'." When she said this, she was directly it at the only two water nation representatives, the leader and the spy Crow. Though she herself had started something with the water leader, she was too irritated to worry about such fine details. She only knew that she was not happy with the current situation.

Zulu looked at Vena. "What the hell have i ever done to you? You came into a secret meeting and then all of the sudden you attack me. You do know I can have you killed for that, right? Oh, and if you try anything, I'll do something you'll never see coming" Zulu said. He was planning to split the atoms in the water if she tried to do anything. Even though it would be difficult because of his lack of power at the moment, he could still do it if he wished.

Ana drew her sword with great caution. It was now obvious that it had been made for her 6 foot tall body rather than the 4 foot one she normally inhabited. "I said sit everyone." She glared at Crow and Vena. "Cut off your powers or I will cut off your heads."

"Secret meeting?" She said with an impatient roll of her eyes. "Please, I've seen at least two or three other individuals walk in, aside from me. And they were not exactly high ranking officials. Not to mention your loudness running through the street and banging on the door...which was not conspicuous at all."
Vena had little respect for these people, for one simple reason. She had her own system for evaluating the people she meets for the first time, deciding whether they were worth respecting or not. So far, none of these people were. Why? It was simple. Every single one she had interacted with so far seemed more inclined to try and enforce their point by force. Vena, as a thief, knew that there was more to getting a goal accomplished than forcing others to comply. Instead, there was a need for cunningness, strategy...smarts. In her mind, these people all lacked such qualities. Crow was quick to jump upon her after she threw the blade, as if such a show of power would make himself look better. Zulu, rather than waiting to see how things would end up, acted impulsively to spurn the girl, even after she revealed her intentions and even in his current weakened state. A good thief would never force a rich man out of his house so that she can rob it...that defeated the whole purpose. As for Ana...the girl didn't seem to do much of anything until now, when she too resorted to the classic show of force, as if pulling out a big blade and making an empty threat will complete a purpose. Vena respected those who could outsmart her, especially without unnecessary use of force. In this sense, even Ju received more respect from the rogue than anyone else. Ju, though clearly hostile toward Vena, did not jump the gun and attack unnecessarily. As for the others, they had done nothing but watch...and such actions merit no respect from her either.
And so...she was in a sassy and irritable mood rather than cooperative one. It should come as no surprise that she herself was acting rashly. As Ana provided a distraction with her sword and speech, Vena made her move. Her body suddenly split into five, each with the same energy level, each almost like a separate entity. Four of them were outside of the water bubble. This was an extention of her powers over illusion, the ability to create a solid illusion of herself. The four outside the water remerged into one while the fifth evaporated, its physical properties broken down into energy and retransfered to Vena, now standing coolly aside.
The shadow tendrils around Zulu would disappear then. She was not about to continue with actions that went against her own code of honor now that she had freed herself. And though still feeling irritated, she flashed another one of her roguish smiles.
"Heh...as much as I would've liked to see you cut off Crow's head, the little water bubble just wasn't accomodating enough. It was cramping my style."

Ju returned from the shadows without making a sound. "Crow, please stop. This is becoming futile." Her words were desperate, but still cold.

Ana closed her eyes and breathed slowly. She sheathed her sword and began to shrink down to the size of a 5 year old, but her eyes were still piercing and dangerous. "Thank you." She sat down again. "Now please do battle with your tongues rather than your powers. It was getting on my nerves." She gave Vena a glare followed by a grin. "And I'm Izuma's 'secret weapon.' I come and go where and when I please."
